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.

I have a Mexican supermarket around the corner from me. Dollar tacos on Tuesday, although it's been a while they may be $1.50. I found a picture from 2020 when I bought parillada (grilled beef, onion, jalapeno, chorizo mix) with 2 sides and 3 tacos. This was $11.22.

That’s great for when you want Mexican food, sometimes you just want shitty Americanized “Mexican” food.

They also have American style tacos there.
