I wouldn't go so far as to liken them to Taco Bell, but rolls - especially the more complex ones - are definitely a departure from the focus on the rice that "proper" sushi has, mostly as an effort to appeal to a more mainstream audience. With nigiri, you just get rice and a suitable topping, showcasing the chef's skill at preparing good sushi rice because they can't hide behind sauces or other strong flavours.

That said, rolls are delicious, and it's fun to try out a wide variety of crazy combinations. Purism be damned.
