Taco bell tastes the same to me now.

Taco Bell in the 80’s was light years different than now

All fast food/chain pizza places are terrible to me now compared to when I was growing up……..don’t know if the quality has gone down or my tastes have gone up. Pretty sure the answer is both.

Domino's is actually better. They changed their cardboard crust recipe and sauce recipes a few years back and it was a big improvement.

I’ll give up pizza before eating papa John’s.

Taco Bell seems like always, for some reason I rarely eat it.

Taco smell is over-priced garbage. I'd rather hit up a real Mexican food truck.

Papa Johns, like son Jimmy Johns, is completely unexciting, never great, but also never gross IMO

It's the epitome of inoffensive delivery pizza

Dominos and Pizza Hut have suffered much bigger quality swings in my experience

About once a month, I'll run across the street for a Mexican Pizza and either 3 tacos or a quesadilla. Today, I wanted to try the new steak & cheese burritos. It was as good as I expected it to be- decent amount of steak, tons of cheese. It was $13, which is pretty high for what I got. Taco Bell is no longer cheap fast food, but there are still deals to be had, like the $2.99 loaded beef nachos.

I'll continue to eat it once a month because I can't quit the Mexican Pizza.
