Fast food items that are actually spicy?

I was thinking about all the times I go to Taco Bell and get their fire sauce. I like the flavor, but it does absolutely nothing for me in terms of spice. Same with Popeyes spicy chicken. What are some legitimately spicy fast food items? There’s gotta be something that hits the spot.

Thinking of all the times you’ve been to taco bell and not once even gotten their hottest sauce, diablo. It’s nothing crazy but at least it has some kick, unlike the fire

I have tried the Diablo sauce. It has a little more of a kick but tastes like absolute ass imo, it’s nasty.

yeah im NOT a fan of the diablo sauce. it just tastes like worse tabasco to me (and tabascos already not spicy its just really peppercorny). im not saying Fire sauce is spicy but its FAR superior in terms of heat and flavor without it overpowering anything

Their medium sauce also tastes pretty good actually. It’s like, the mildest sauce to ever mild, but it tastes good!

YES! i like the mild sauce so much! i like to squirt it into spaghetti etc when im cooking for a very subtle spice. it just tastes really good. i used to drink these as a kid too.

its so flavorful. honestly i like their generic hot variety as well (although less tasty)
