    Yeah like holy shit… Used to be a dollar for their burritos… Now you’re lucky if it is $2, and portions haven’t improved to reflect the price.

      I used to work there. All the meat comes in frozen plastic bags. You heat them up in a hot water bath before putting it on the hot line.

      For the prices these days it really doesn’t make sense unless there’s a specific item you like from Taco Bell.

      I’d rather go to chipotle where they actually put their meats on a grill and prepare everything. I’m not saying it’s not a fast food chain, but I’ve noticed their ingredients are less processed and more fresh.

      All major fast food chains are trash now. Same garbage food, 5x the price. I live in an area abundant in taquerias, and I can get way better food for the same price. Taco Bell can fuck right off unless it’s 1am and nothing else is open, and I need to eat something to sober up.

        I’m pretty sure. “It’s 1am. Nothing else is open, and you need to sober up.” is Taco Bell’s default marketing campaign.

          I refuse to download their app. The McDonald’s one made u sign a binding arbitration clause to use it. Eff that noise.

      At least it’s not UK Taco Bell prices.
      I think TB thought they’d be a neat novelty, and have people queuing out the door. So they priced tacos at £5+.
      The result was, lots of people went there…once. They parted with £15/head, and got bland tacos.

      I rarely go there anymore since my usual order went from $10 to $18. Their deal boxes are still good tho, they’re still only around $5 here.
