A Chalupa Supreme is $5.89 by itself. Or, you get the Supreme Luxe box with the chalupa, a Doritos taco, a beefy 5 layer burrito, crunchy taco, cinnamon twists and a drink for $7. I just throw away the cinnamon twists, eat the chalupa and Doritos taco for one meal, and then reheat the beefy burrito and soft taco for the second meal.

Two weeks ago I got a burrito supreme, a chalupa, and a medium drink. It was 16 dollars. Unreal.

There are some on the OT that know a disturbing amount about Taco Bell. Pretty sure the last time I was there was 30 years ago.

Taco Bandito is much better and not much more.

I was thinking about Taco Bell a week or two ago. It's been a while since I've been and I do like a good Burrito Supreme and my favorite is the Meximelt.

It's not Taco Bell that's lost their mind it's the supply chain and the consumers. Taco Bell is merely a product of those demands. If the supply chain was cheaper the tacos would be cheaper. If consumers stopped going then they'd have to figure something else out.

They're outperforming other fastfood so far this year. Their foot traffic is up and to the earlier point their online app based ordering half of sales.

Taco Bell fire sauce and the green sauce in the grocery stores is legit.


The fire sauce is absolutely amazing. Problem is, the stuff in the stores is a picante version and isnt nearly as good. Its a shame really.

Yeah I like Chalupas and Quesadillas. The chicken chalupas are almost seven dollars as is the dilla. Most sit down Mexican places will do an a la cate Quesadilla for the same or less. With actual chicken.

If you have a Taco Casa in your area, I would recommend and skip Taco Bell.

We lived off of that for a period in college.
That and the $2.99 Mr Gatti’s buffet.

Somehow I was still 155 at 6’ when I graduated. Maybe it was the lettuce.

The only good thing about Taco Bell is the Cinnabons.

I miss the late 90s/early 2000s when Taco Bell was the cheap place to go. Those were the days.

Yes. If we're going to reminisce about great things used to be then we should go back to before the decline of society and what started that shite off: the iPhone

Cheesy Gordita Crunch, the best fast food item ever made, costs almost 5 dollars now.
