Yeah if I was living on my own and had a sack of weed I'd definitely give that poo poo a try but I'm not taking a bag of burritos in the bathroom to sneakily eat them and then come out pretending like I didn't just consume 8000 calories of food in there.

Double taco things are pretty good for $1. If it did nothing but fix the problem of hard tacos splitting in half before you have a chance to eat it it's worth it for that alone. Chipolte flavor was good, I even liked the red tortilla strips one.

The first time I ordered the zero sugar baja blast in the drivethrough they were like "The what???" and I said "the zero sugar stuff" they said "Oh, DIET baja blast".

The next time I ordered the zero sugar baja blast I made sure to say "I want the diet baja blast" and the person said "The what??? Oh you want the zero sugar stuff.."

Anyway, I might pick up some cans of the stuff in the store. I think it tastes pretty alright actually.

Lived mas on the sly today as I needed to go get some medicine for the cat. I had a pretty sub-par order because I needed something I could eat in the car on the way so I got the chalupa box and a nacho loaded griller. Pulled off to the side and ate the chalupa + hard taco in maybe 30 seconds? Then ate the rest on the way to the vet. Goddamn I miss eating lovely food :stare:

I'll only ever give a poo poo about "Slusheys" aka the cherry and/or coke flavored (there are no other flavors in gods eyes) drinks that you get at Wawa/Sheetz/Turkey Hill/what have you.

I had to go pick up a prescription for my cat today which is my one time a month I can leave the house so I stopped at Taco Bell and got a B5L and two CGC's. That might've been the best B5L I've ever had - super hot gooey innards and stuffed to the brim. Good poo poo.

The Spicy Potato taco varied greatly in quality every time I had it. When it was good it was sublime but when it was bad, yeah it's real bad. It was a cheap addon when I want a little more food but I'm not going to mourn it's loss too much.

I've always liked the "Crispy Chicken Go Wrap" from Wendy's which is basically the exact same thing, chicken tender in a soft taco with lettuce cheese and sauce. These are probably really good.

Same, and I was bummed to find out yesterday when I stopped by Wendy's for the first time in forever that they don't sell any of the go-wrap items anymore. Fuckin travesty.

I got a grilled cheese Burrito today because it looked like the kind of thing that would be hard to eat in a car yet totally doable and lol nope. Are they supposed to be pressed into a flat rectangle? The cheese on the outside gimmick just doesn't make sense to me, even in the off chance that I would be sitting at a table to enjoy my taco bell. The stuff inside tasted pretty good and I'm not ashamed to admit I like red strips but yeah the gooey greasy cheese on the outside is just weird.

Hell yeah, Moe's is by far the superior choice of the slightly-more-upscale mexican chains.

I got chipotle last week and they loving forgot to put the protein in my girlfriend's burrito so I had to drive all the way back and get another. I swear they gently caress something up every time I go there. Same with Panera. That place sucks rear end and they never get my order right but it's near my house so I went there for dinner pre-covid more than I'd like to admit.

Double decker taco things are prettay prettay good. Kind of unsubstantial but for a buck it's a better option than getting a normal side taco. I like it because it fixes the problem of their hard tacos always getting a fissure right down the middle the moment you touch it.

Also they threw diablo sauce into the bag despite me not asking for it so I decided to try it for the first time. As someone who generally likes spicy things but is kind of a puss when it comes to super spicy stuff, this was just about the perfect amount of heat but tastes worse than the Fire sauce so I'll just stick with that.

I'd almost be alright with wings if they were boneless strips with whatever "mexican" seasoning they want to put on them. Sell them for like a couple bucks for 4 of them like the taquitos and make it an addon but bone in wings is just so odd. I guess it's probably ridiculously cheap to acquire a million tons of chicken wings and resell them at a gigantic markup.

I got a bunch of extra fire sauces yesterday so I can put some on the tacos I make at home. I'm considering making some tonight because I'm that excited about trying it on homemade tacos.

Somewhat off topic but I've been making tacos at home for ~20 years now since we always did tacos on Sunday when I lived at home and only recently discovered that ground turkey is just as good as ground beef in this application.

They recently built a new Starbucks right next to the Taco Bell by my house and the entrances to both the drive thru's kinda share the same road, so at lunch time it ends up being a mess of cars and pissed off people because cars lined up for taco bell are blocking people who want to get to Starbucks, and people leaving Starbucks have to navigate around the line of cars at TB and it's seriously just a loving mess. Nobody thought for a second about how these drive thru's are going to clash when it gets busy.
