Known for its Mexican-inspired food, Taco Bell has over 8,700 restaurants across the world. The chain primarily sells fast food such as tacos, burritos, quesadillas and nachos.

I don’t have a problem w/ Taco Bell other than their prices rising through the roof.

Simplest, cheapest Taco Bell hack there is:

Pay 50 cents for extra beef. You usually wind up w/ more than double the beef.

Works great w/ Double Stack tacos (value menue). Or Soft tacos where you’re just eating a tortilla w/ a few tablespoons of beef in it.

LOL, I know that...it is just fun to bounce on the reputation.

I am abashed to say, I occasionally buy a few of their crunchy tacos, but...I will say this-the last time I walked into a Taco Bell/KFC, I should have turned around. It was the filthiest eatery I have ever walked into. Even worse than anything overseas.

But I didn't. It is a guilty pleasure.

Hope they like the cheapest grade ground beef mixed with oats. Taco Bell is really disgusting. Same thing with Del Taco.

Right. Tacos have always required a Barf Alert.

I think I am one of the only people in the world who actually likes Taco Bell. 🤭

Related…I saw this t-shirt on Pinterest:

“Why doesn’t Taco Bell have a playground?”

“Because it’s hard to have fun when you might s#*t your pants.”

Fair enough! 😂

Ireland is one of the festering homes of woke ignorance. Why not makes as much money off of them as possible? We should go over there and earn so much money that we bankrupt the woke fools. Hopefully some conservative companies make money for conservative investors.
Kudos to Irish HISTORY of times past...but it is GONE today

The Irish should concentrate more on the Islamic wave entering their country thus causing them to champion the PALEOstinian drive to destroy Israel and the West.
Tacos with a Hijab and Halal meat is on the way and oh, by the way, stop drinking alcohol according to the Koran.
Wake up Ireland!!
