Taco Bell is fucking ridiculous now. A single grilled cheese burrito on its own is over $10. The other burritos are 3 to 4 bucks as well. The entire point of Taco Bell is that it's supposed to be cheap garbage food you order at 1AM on a weekend after smoking a bowl, and that's no longer feasible. Now it's expensive garbage food. Nevermind that they also got rid of half the menu.
I'm lucky that I live in a town with about 2 billion taco trucks that are all insanely better and cheaper than Taco Bell. Plus, Taco Bell tastes like a Midwestern white lady's version of Mexican food, which made it easy to avoid even when it wasn't so expensive.
I can't imagine living in a town without real Mexican food. We have taco trucks and authentic fast food style Mexican spots where I'm at too.
Nothing that Taco Bell has ever made comes close to the quality of a random shady looking taco truck.
Taco Bell <<<<< Taco truck with zero Google reviews
We have a fantastic one nearby in a rundown parking lot that makes their own "crunch wrap supreme" with your choice of meat for $10. These things are probably 5x the volume and density of the Taco Bell version and you don't have to get Taco Bells shitty Ortega taco seasoned ground beef.
$10? Where? They're $4.79 here by me in Chicago.
Southern Ontario. It's in CAD.
The only thing worth getting is the $6 cravings box that is only available through the app.
It's $8 where I'm at now. They do have a special taco Tuesday box for 5-6 now though.
The only good deal for Taco Bell is taco Tuesday deal. 5 dollars for 3 tacos and a drink. They got a build your own box that's a good deal too, but everything else is so expensive.
Shit Wendy's used to have good mobile deals and now they are mostly trash. That new CEO that wanted surge pricing on burgers is fucking up everything with Wendy's for me.
I'm at a place where the local Mexican restaurant has better dinner deals Mon-Thurs than any fast food around me. Depending on the day it's like $7-$10. I just gotta watch my drinking there.
Went there recently, plain bean burrito used to cost me 1.29...now it's 2.85 AND they now charge extra .20 if you want extra onions.
Crazy prices now.
I miss Taco Viva
I just get the build your own meal for like $5 and get a crunch wrap supreme 4 layer burrito or whatever and nachos and a drink. Idk why someone would bother paying that much for fast food
