I love the variety of Austin breakfast tacos... they're made of people, PEOPLE! Spicy Hispanic people.

I am not a genuine gourmet.

My fast food Taco Bell used to sell me the bean burrito (minus onions) (and earlier the little bowl of frijoles) for 89 and then 99 cents. Then last few months of 2021 and early 2022 for $1.89.
Now $2.85. At least last week. Shouldn’t assume anything.
The Mexican Pizza is $9.99 (!) Once $3.99 .

I have come to appreciate a good taco over the years.

Couple weeks ago, I was in the Old Town section of San Diego and had some really authentic tacos with some tequila.

It was expensive though.

Tacos were a dollar a piece here on Tuesday’s at Dairy Queen. Now, they are $1.50. Let’s go Brandon.

Heck in Mission, KS I purchased two Crunch Wrap Supremes from Taco Bell and paid about 12.50. No drink, no sides. In Prairie Village last week I purchased a Barbacoa Bowl from Taco Republic and paid 15.55. I rarely purchase fast food and now I know why. Crazy prices.

There is a place called Taco Cabana.

The tacos are so good that Barry Manilow wrote a song about the place.

Taco Bell is what you eat at 0200 after personally polishing off a 750 mL of Jack Daniels...

I honestly don’t drink.

Like Taco Bell while sober.

Told you I ain’t a gourmet. Go easy, please.

Sober taco bell is an indicator of a serious problem.

Bought a bunch of tacos at Jack in the Box last night. It was still 2 for $.99. I splurged and brought back 20 tacos for us at work.

I'm in a 12 Step Detacobellization Program. Have gone 37 days without one. I admit it freely.
