Probably my favorite fast food of the few I still eat but I find myself being even more 'late adopter' there than I usually am because of how many experimental dishes they fart out per year. If they actually discounted the prices to get people to try them, I'd be all over it like flies on rice.

I kinda get a craving for it from time to time.. and then I eat it, and I get sad.

I would blast them all from the face of the planet with a member of the Kuiper belt if I could. They are offensive to every single sensory function. I get slightly nauseous even walking next to one, let alone inside.

I always bring that shit home to eat in front of the TV so I can't do hard shell tacos, much.... I live a little too far from town, and they are all soggy and falling apart by the time I get home.

I've been trying different things on the menu lately... the steak XXL stuffed burrito is decent. Could use more steak.

This, but add "and a bit sick."

Something about the food just doesn't sit right with me. I always regret it very quickly after.

I had a steak cantina power burrito(?) or such, and it was actually decent. But expensive.

Ditto.

My lunch crew has restaurants like that. "Why haven't we gone to X in a while? Let's go there." Then it sucks and we don't go back for another year.

New 'quesalupa' ain't shit, by the way. Just a chalupa with a few shavings of cheese inside the shell. Not $.50 worth of them, either.

I like Taco Bell, only the one near my office is stupid expensive. Like regular Taco Bell but a soft taco costs 7 dollars. Not worth it.

$7 for a Taco Bell taco? WTF? Are the streets paved with gold there?

Maybe they've got a tariff on shitty food and are trying to warn you not to eat it.

If he is in San Fran now I believe it. If he's near the city center I'm surprised he even found a chain fast food restaurant in the first place, the city doesn't like those.

Yeah, no idea on the Taco Bell prices. Got into a little argument on why my fucking meal of a Soft Taco and Crunchwrap was 14 bucks with no drink. I should have seen the alarm bells when it was the only place on the block without a line...

The weird thing is that there are food-trucks all over the downtown that sell tacos for like 3 bucks max, that are definitely better.

The big amusement park near me has a Subway restaurant inside it. The big menu board shows most sandwiches in the $7-8 range. The fine print specifies those are the prices for a 6" sub. $16 footlongs, yo.

Taco Bell just started advertising a "Steak House Burrito" that is supposedly the best thing ever.

My kid likes Taco Hell so it's kind of our Friday thing, and I fasted all day today so I could eat a Steak House Burrito tonight without killing my diet.

I've been so hungry all day.... I even googled "Steak House Burrito" so I could daydream about eating one.

So tonight we left the house but the wife wanted to run a couple idiotic errands first. I said I didn't want to, I was hungry. I relented, obviously.

When we finally got to ther Taco Bell drive through I heard the asshole in the shitty truck in front of me order 15 Steak House Burritos. When it was my turn to order, I was informed they are out of steak, sorry.

I really hate the world right now.

So I went to Taco Bell right before my surgery, and ordered three steak items... they were all shredded beef. You've reminded me that I need to follow-up on my complaint, ugh.

He saved you from an otherwise shitty eating experience. Buy him a card.
