Whether it's a new burrito or a chicken-taco hybrid, I love trying Taco Bell's new menu items — and telling you exactly how I feel about them.
So when I heard that Taco Bell released a new spin on its Grilled Cheese Burrito, along with a new taco, I knew I had to check them out.
And what better place to try them than at the world's most beautiful Taco Bell?

Taco Bell Pacifica has become famous for its beautiful ocean views.
It went viral on TikTok last year when a fan gave her followers a tour, and one couple recently paid $4,000 to have their wedding reception at the restaurant.

Taco Bell Pacifica is right on the beach. You can watch surfers ride waves just a few feet away from its stunning outdoor patio while digging into your Crunchwrap Supreme. And, since it's a Cantina location, you can also sip on some frozen alcoholic drinks. Now that's paradise.
You can read my full review on what it's like to visit the world's most beautiful Taco Bell here.

Up for review were Taco Bell's Double Steak Grilled Cheese Burrito, its Spicy Double Steak Grilled Cheese Burrito, and the Cantina Crispy Melt Taco.
Since it was my first time at a Cantina location, I also ordered all three of the alcoholic slushies — in the name of journalism, of course.

Taco Bell's Double Steak Grilled Cheese Burrito is a twist on its original Grilled Cheese Burrito, which is back on the menu after it was first released in August 2020.
Like the Grilled Cheese Burrito, the Double Steak Grilled Cheese Burrito features seasoned rice, red tortilla strips, nacho cheese sauce, chipotle sauce, sour cream, and a three-cheese blend. The warm tortilla is grilled with more of that three-cheese blend right on top.
The "double steak" in its name, according to Taco Bell's website, refers to the fact that it contains double the amount of steak as the chain's Steak Quesadilla.

I'm a huge fan of the original Grilled Cheese Burrito, so I was super excited to try another cheesy Taco Bell creation.
It was finally time to dig in.

When I first cut into the burrito to get a peek inside, I was glad to see that it looked far more appetizing than the promotional image. There was way more sauce, for starters, and the steak was well-distributed across the burrito, instead of peeking out in big burnt-looking chunks.
And the Double Steak Grilled Cheese Burrito tasted just as good as the original — if not better. The cheese added tons of flavor without overpowering the burrito, the deliciously seasoned rice was the perfect base, and the chipotle sauce gave each bite a nice kick. I'm not even a huge steak eater, but I thought it tasted great in the burrito.
My dad, who tried both the original and steak version during our lunch in Pacifica, also preferred the new burrito.
"The meat shines more in the steak one than the beef one," he told me. "It reminds me of a Philly Cheesesteak, but in a burrito."

The spicy sister of the Double Steak Grilled Cheese Burrito has actual jalapeños grilled into it, providing even more heat and crunch to each bite.
I love spicy food, so that extra texture and flavor instantly won me over.

I decided to try the taco after it caught my eye on the menu, even though a lot of Taco Bell's tacos haven't impressed me much in the past.
But that all changed with the Cantina Crispy Melt Taco. Unlike many fast-food tacos, it had plenty of deliciously seasoned beef, and the veggies didn't taste stale — nor did the crispy white-corn shell. What surprised me most, though, was how juicy the taco was (even without any Taco Bell hot sauce).
My parents and sister loved this taco so much, they each ordered another one.

I ordered all three of the special frozen cocktails available at Taco Bell Pacifica: the Cantina Margarita, the Mountain Dew Baja Blast, and the Sangria.
While the Cantina Margarita tasted a little too artificial for me, I loved the Baja Blast and the Sangria. Both were super refreshing, and the Sangria was definitely my favorite. It reminded me a bit of frosé, with just a hint of sweetness.

Taco Bell is back in great form with its two versions of the Double Steak Grilled Cheese Burrito, along with the Cantina Crispy Melt Taco. All three menu items were packed with tons of flavor, fresh ingredients, and delicious sauces.
I'll definitely be ordering all three again, no matter which location I'm at. And I can't wait to see what Taco Bell comes up with next.
