On 101A in Amherst, there's a joint KFC and Taco Bell, so I figured I would try two new items brought out by their respective chains: the Doubledown "sandwich" and the Salsa Roja Tortada, pictured to the right and left respectively.
I preferred the Tortada, it was filling in comparison to the Doubledown believe it or not, and it was probably healthier too. You'd be surprised though, there are salads, let alone burgers, at other fast food places that have more fat and calories than the Doubledown.
Combined, it was an adequate meal, but the combined price at this location brought the price to a level near something much better for those who have more time.
In the end, both of them are what they are: the Tortada is basically just a square chewy/crunchy taco, and the Doubledown is two pieces of chicken with bacon and dressing in the middle of them. You're paying for the marketing as much as you're paying for the meal here.
I apologize, but for the first time here on this food blog, I forgot to keep the reciept, so I can't remember the exact price of the two combined, but it was around $8. However, this might vary at respective Taco Bells and KFCs near you.
