$6 for this garbage. Taco Bell used to be a decent guilty pleasure but it's become expensive trash now.
Nah, it was always trash. Just inexpensive. Now it's just expensive trash.
Back in the 90s before the meat fillers, it was different. I used to dine there quite a bit. Modern variations pale in comparison.
I'm not simping for a brand. But I want to add that you can use their app to get their garbage, and get a decent amount of it, cheap still. (Online exclusives, then it's like a box. I don't remember the name.) Less than $10 and I'm full.
(This post brought to you by, I'm on a medication that makes eating really difficult, but sometimes I can tolerate Taco Bell and when the ability to eat happens I usually have just a few short minutes to procure and start eating before the moment passes. Which is why I've been sitting next to a bowl of my favorite pasta for two hours and have had to reheat it twice. T_T )
I still can't replicate a chalupa well enough. Homemade quesaritos don't entirely scratch the itch, but they're pretty good.
But they aren't cheap any more.
Chicken chalupa supremes. But man, it's still a crap shoot on if the shells are gonna be warm and toasty, or cold and chewy. I've yet found a Taco Bell that is consistent.
On a road trip I stopped at a Taco Bell for bean burritos for something easy to eat. Two bean burritos for $8. They used to be less than a $1 each.
The secret to cheap fast food nowadays is to use their apps and order online
