An explosion of diarrhea all for less than 4 bucks…damn I miss the 90s
These are your cheapest options now. Can still get explosive diarrhea for under $4 if you do it right
Taco hell always had more options, but for just tacos I always preferred johns.
Wouldnt eat at either now.

Same, potato Oles and choco tacos were pretty awesome. An Albelardo's is close to us now and is a ton of food for the money. My stomach no longer tolerates this behavior after a night out.
I lived on a 59 cent bean burrito with green sauce and a cup of ice water for lunch for a whole semester from the Taco Bell on 27th street. Hunger is a great motivator to succeed.
Either the chalupa or the cheese and been burrito (without rice) are my favorite taco bell items. Well also the 5 layer, but those aren't cheap anymore...
Taco Bell was at its best when they made everything fresh years (decades) ago, and an enchirito was great with a corn tortilla, not flour.
I was on a business trip in KY. Just landed and had to drive two hours and needed food. I don’t eat fast food but that night I didn’t have much choice. Stopped at Taco Bell and got 4 tacos and a Diet Coke. It was $16.

They are adept at marketing to their target audience.
This is who they are pushing their chicken nuggets to:
They take ebt so you’re paying for their Taco Bell
I had no idea! That shouldn't be a thing. Pre-made rte food shouldn't and in the past hasn't been eligible.
I’ll accept your apology now..
Which Taco Bell restaurant locations can I use my EBT card?
