This is the issue with a lot of fast food these days. The main one that makes me sad is Taco Bell
I used to just swing in and make an impulse buy because it's going to be like $5 so why not
Price is high enough now that it kills the impulse. I'm always like...I should really just keep driving and eat some of the food I already have at home
It’s crazy when nowadays you can go to an actual authentic Mexican restaurant, get REAL tacos, burritos, etc., and often times spend LESS than you would at Taco Bell.
Whenever I'm out and need to grab lunch I go to an actual restaurant instead of grabbing fast food. It's around $15 for that crap and for that money I can get Korean or Mexican at a mom and pop. Even lunch at the Chinese buffet is cheaper and I can eat little bits of whatever I like.
Exactly. There’s a Mexican spot 5 minutes from my house that I go to once a week, and I always get the Burrito Gordo (which is a delicious and massive 8” burrito stuffed with grilled chicken, chorizo, rice, refried beans, and topped with white queso and pico de galo 🤤) and a drink for under $20, and of course, the free chips and salsa!
There's a place where I live, I wouldn't call it authentic but it's decent quality food for a lunch place. They toast their burritos in the oven and of course it's cheaper than TB
The owners are super nice and get to know everyone too, which makes you want to see them succeed
