"It's always the question at the end of the order, and it seems like unless you're specific about what you want, you usually just end up with a random handful of different packets in the bag. It pays to be particular, though; otherwise you may find yourself and your dining partners scrambling to make sure that you each get your share of the very best sauce on the menu: Taco Bell's signature Fire Sauce."
"Our assessment of the chain's many sauces - Taco Bell is one of the chains with the most sauces - involved tasting the sauces both alone and on a tortilla chip so as to ensure that the ratings weren't skewed by any other ingredients. What we found in this careful analysis was that Fire Sauce featured an excellent balance. It delivered just the right amount of heat, enough to get your mouth tingling, but not so much that it blows your whole palate out."
Fifteen Taco Bell sauces were evaluated and ranked, with Fire Sauce emerging as the top pick. Sauces were tasted alone and on tortilla chips to ensure assessments were not influenced by other ingredients. Fire Sauce delivered a balanced heat that produced mouth tingling without overwhelming the palate. Fire Sauce also exhibited layered flavors that pair well across the Taco Bell menu. Online communities and message boards commonly favor Fire Sauce for providing noticeable heat, while Hot Sauce is milder and Mild Sauce remains enjoyable. Random assortments of sauce packets can leave diners scrambling to secure preferred sauces.
