      bruh

      $7.39 for a DORITOS® CHEESY GORDITA Supreme per taco, no extras past the tomato and cream from Supreme. For less then the price of two, I can get a whole steak taco plate just about anywhere else.

        I get that, but these were like 3.50 a few years ago. I can’t justify it. I’d rather sit in any Mexican restaurant and pay like $11 for a full meal.

      Different taco bells have different pricing, most taco bells have a $6 app only box that’s one of the best value meals you can get in fast food, but some individual taco bells raise the price on it.

      For example, of the 4 closest taco bells to me 3 have the $6 box, but one charges $12 for it. That expensive taco bell has everything marked up at least 30-75%. It’s not the worst in the country though, there’s a taco bell in NYC that charges $25 for the $6 box.

        I live in the South in one of the cheapest cost of living areas. I haven’t tried the app, but ordering off the menu is crazy. When I was in college, soft tacos were like 0.89 and cheesy 5 layers were like a buck. When I order my old order from back in the day, it comes out to like $27 now.

        If the app box is anything like the ones they used to just have on the menu, then I really hope I can handle the sodium these days.

          I remember 59, 79, 99.

          Pretty much everything on the menu was 59, 79, or 99 cents. Those were the days.

            We used to have it too good. That’s why I can’t justify it when I could go in any sit down place and pay like $4 more max.
