Why are they so popular?

>> No.9285237

Used to be cheap and it's better than a bag of grease from a burger place

only place near me with a decent dollar menu

That doritos loco taco
Its fucking insane when its fresh and crispy.
They probably order their generic beef from the same place as taco johns though.

>Dollar menu
All the other places changed it to a "value" menu. Shit on it up to $3 these days.

>> No.9285296

Huge variety and constantly coming out with new, albeit sometimes only slightly different, items. Fairly cheap depending on what you like. Diablo sauce is quite nice as well for a little kick on everything, at least for me. And obviously, it's pretty tasty if you're in the mood for it. Baja blast is a perk for most people as well.

They hold strong for sheer quanitity to dollar value ratio.

Subway is also open, but Mcdonalds is just fucking breakfast which is a joke

Less than ten years ago, a bunch of things that are now three dollars and up were like $0.69 to a dollar. Things that are $5+ were two and change at most.

because they still have the best deal in fast food

>> No.9287288

I can get a huge amount of pretty tasty food from taco bell for a fairly cheap price. Combine that with the variety of food they have on their menu and it's a good alternative to the standard burger and fries affair.

>> No.9287416

>>9285230
They do the dollar menu better than anyone else, and their food is relatively cheap compared to MC D's (end of $1 mcdouble ruined it) or even jack in the box (my local jack in the box raised the tacos to 1.19 or 1.29 each, and the chicken sandwhich is now like 1.50, and I get it with sourdough which brings that bitch up to almost $2.)

When I go to taco bell I can leave full for around $3. Current order is 2 potato ritos, and a spicy potato soft taco. Total price is like 3.29 or something.

this plus something from the dollar menu is decent for the money

>> No.9287631

Their shit just makes you crave it somehow. I rarely eat there, but sometimes, late at night, I can't resist so I get it and eat it really fast before I have a chance to notice how gross it is. Then I get the shits and I hate myself.

>> No.9288400

special meats....hmm

>> No.9288409

Don't eat it often but I was craving it the other day. Had 2 fiery locos taco supremes (Christ on a cracker are they good) and a 1/2# cheesy bean and rice burrito. Thing was still $1 even after 10 years. Took me back

The only thing I ever want from there that I have to have if it's brought up is their Baja Blast and something I can drown in Diablo or mild sauce

Also I don't give a fuck about those beefy crunch assholes, I just want Bell to bring back lava sauce permanently. It makes damn near everything better

Price in recent years has almost doubled. When I was in high school it was like 70 cents a taco now its like 1.40 or something. Plus they had that OP 3 cinnamon twists for a dollar before they became Jews

every few months or so they come out with an item that is usually huge and only costs a dollar.
last few times have been the double beef burrito, the taco burrito, and now its the potato-rito. these are by far the best deals in modern fast food, ever.

>> No.9290799

>>9290792
Ahh, their rotating loss-leader items truly are great. When they had the beefy crunch back, that was amazing. New potato one can be okay depending on what location you go to (potatoes must be crispy as fuck), but at least there's the fallback of the spicy potato soft taco.

taco bell is good and anyone who says otherwise is a hunk of shit
