Taco Bell used to be a goto, then they tried to get too creative and half their stuff became a sloppy greasy mess. Now you can't go and simply get 3 soft tacos and a drink for under $10 and they seem to change the menu every other week.

BRING BACK THE 2 MENUS AT THE DRIVE THRU SO I CAN DECIDE ON MY ORDER WHILE THE DOLT IN THE MINIVAN IN FRONT OF ME IS ORDERING FOR 12 PEOPLE!

I really really want to be on your side, Taco bell has gone crazy on the prices and I hate it.

But, on the other hand, it sounds like you haven't even had the crispy cantina taco meal and that's not a life I'd wish on anybody.

Start looking at the … “Welcome to Taco Bell will you be using the app?”

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

And holy hell is their app a piece of shit.

Yep. Tried to add points with my receipt the other day, and it refused to access the camera to scan the barcode, and refused to give me a keyboard so I could manually input the code.

The only saving grace they have right now is that they brought back a $7 cravings box meal. Filling and only $7.54 with tax.

But at least it ignores your preferences and makes the stupid "bong" sound when you tell it not to.

Where are you? I just got on the app and 3 soft shell tacos and a large drink is $9.13 after tax. That's still more than I would pay for that especially seeing as the build your own cravings box is only $6.48 after tax and comes with much better options. I seriously am flabbergasted when I read the prices people are saying they pay.

Where I'm at, the price for the boxes are minimum $8 or $9, most of the combos are $11-$15 before tax, and they change their menu so often that I can't be bothered going there. 3 years ago the prices were a lot closer to what you're seeing.

I used to go there pretty often, but with the prices going up particularly in the last few years and with the additional inconvenience of having to learn what their new gimmick of the week item is and what box or combo items they've removed to make space for it, I just can't be bothered. Also because eventually I realized that there's a local Mexican restaurant that sells bigger, better burritos for cheaper in a gas station closer to my work than Taco Bell is. Only downside is them not having a drive through.
