I had had my eye on the Cantina Bell™ menu at Taco Bell for several weeks, and finally had the opportunity to try something over the weekend. The menu features three "Cantina bowl" salads -- chicken, steak and veggie -- as well as a Cantina Burrito, and "chips and sides" that include guacamole, pico de gallo, rice and beans, and a roasted corn and pepper salsa. The commercials for the new menu feature Chef Lorena Garcia prepping fresh veggies and lean proteins in beautiful, austere commercial kitchens -- the sort we are so likely to find at Taco Bell!

As I perused the drive-thru menu, I also noticed a new beverage -- a Frozen Strawberry Lemonade "Fruitista Freeze." I don't drink soda (nope, not even diet), but a nice, tart lemonade hits the spot once in a while, so I added a 16-ounce frozen lemonade to my Steak Cantina Bowl order and headed home to give the whole thing a taste test.

Let's get one thing out of the way: The frozen strawberry lemonade "Fruitista Freeze" was not for me. I like lemonade because it is tart -- I don't have much of a sweet tooth, especially when it comes to beverages -- so a sweetened lemonade-from-concentrate, with syrupy fruit on top, did not hit any of my spots. If you dig sweet, this drink is for you, but lovers of traditional, tart lemonade should beware.
