    I don’t understand how taco bell survives in my city when I’m surrounded by dozens of real mexican restaurants and food trucks.

      It use to be the spot when you had 3AM cravings and only $6 to spend. Now it’s overpriced meat-hose garbage.

        Taco bell is one the the few fast food joints that still has decent cheap options.

        They have a $7 luxe box ( if you use the app you can customize it.) That actually gives a worthwhile amount of food.

        And as far as I can tell it’s an all the time deal, not some shitty limited time promotion like mcshit offers trying to get people to come bsck to their overpriced garbage. ($6+ just for fucking “large” french fries)

      Taco Bell doesn’t compete with mexican food, it competes with Jack in the Box and Taco Johns, perhaps anywhere that has a salad bar.

      Taco Bell isn’t Mexican food. It’s shitty American fast food with a Mexican slant.

      Edit: Downvote all you want but Taco Bell is to Mexican food like McDonalds is to a burger house. It’s low tier fast food.

      Would you believe that it is the favorite “Mexican” restaurant in the country?
