This one had me a little perplexed. At first sight I was pretty stoked with the cheese baked on top and a nice side of sour cream if I chose to us it (I didn’t). When I busted through the layer of cheese the colors looked like it was lacking paprika or chili powder or any type of tomato sauce or paste…so basically not a lot of that reddish, chili hue. There were nice sized chunks of meat, a few large pieces of tomato, kidney beans and what looked like black beans. I was tasting more of a cumin type flavor and not a lot of traditional chili flavor…then I got to a heavy dose of Frito taste. There was a lot of Fritos in there. Not sure if the were sprinkled on top then the cheese baked over it? Regardless, it overtook the taste of the chili. If the description on the menu said “Fritos included” I would have said no thanks. Outside of that it didn’t have much heat and there was some flavor but not what I was after. Value… $6.79 for a cup but it was pretty big, almost a bowl so very good bang for your buck.
