Stopped by one to get a quick burrito the other day. I couldn’t belive the crap they served. Beef burrito out of a caulking gun. Couldn’t eat it, it was almost soup. Put that on my list of places not to eat.

i went to taco bell until i had the whole collection of stuffed talking chihuahuas. as a "purchase" was required, i bought a big soda.

Since Del Taco opened stores in our area years ago I stopped going to Taco Bell. I think Del Taco tastes better. My only complaint with Del Taco is their ever-rising prices. Used to go regularly but now only once in a while when I have coupons. They used to have a dollar menu but now most of those things on the dollar menu are close to if not $2 each.

You went to a fast food place and couldn't believe you got garbage food?

I was hungry for something different so I went to a Bobs Subs for the first time since it’s been here. (8 years at least). I was checking over the wall menu and placed my to go order. I asked if she had a take out menu and she said they don’t hand them out because the prices are going up so quickly.

If I'm not too bothered, I can eat Taco Bell. Bless the iron stomach. But their quality has dropped over the years. It's American stoner food that is trying to be Mexi-ish. Glad that I have a couple good legit Mexican food shops local to me...Not like when I lived in Arizona, but for Kentucky, pretty good!

Like everything else, their prices have gone up, and portions have gotten smaller. Went to taco bell not too long ago because I was constipated, hadn't been since before covid. Ordered my usual combo meal and thought they had given me the wrong order it was so much smaller. It was about $3.00 more too......

Garbage in, garbage out.

1st off, John's "colon cleanse" nearly caused coffee stains on my monitor

I can do the Taco Bell original hard-shell basic tacos, but that's a fairly rare occurrence.
Never had side-effects, fortunately.
We have legit taco places even in north Idaho, and for a couple bucks more I prefer better food intake.

I haven't had a good chain store burrito since Naugle's closed.

Taco Del Mar here is good.

our local chain is Taco Johns .. its not terrible

You're welcome!


Strange but true, the ONLY time I got violently sick from 'fast food' wasn't Taco Bell, it was Kentucky Fried Chicken. It happened almost 40 yrs ago and I still refuse to eat anything from that place.

Taco Bell

Eliminate the middle man and throw it straight in the toilet.


Naugles was great, I think Del Taco bought them out back in the late 80's

There are a couple of new Naugles places in orange county again.

Hey John - you bet, if they don't keep their fryers clean, you're eating some nasty bacteria.
I always found KFC good for a colon cleanse in about 30 minutes, often enough that I learned to time my consumption vs availability of a porcelain throne.
Haven't had that experience with other fried chicken - and never got sick - but I don't eat fried foods very often.
Naugles - I remember them from decades ago, at the time they seemed pretty good.

Any restaurant is only as good as its employees.

And right now almost every restaurant is so desperate to find staff that they are taking whoever they can get.

That's why I typically go to a family owned restaurant, they have a captive workforce, lol.

We've never been sick from eating Taco Bell - ever. I loved the old enchritos, but they have been gone for years.

Back in the 70's we had Picos Tacos - one location in the Detroit area as far as I know. They were fast food only & were GREAT. (Telegraph & Joy - Detroit area folks may remember it)

That TB meme is awesome.
I tied it into one jpg for easier distribution

I loved enchiritos and was sad when they quit em.
