Really? Last I went it was around 5 USD for a crunchwrap and the cheese burrito nonsense was less than 2 USD a piece. 28 USD would be an absolutely obscene amount of food even by American standards
Edit since people think I’m bullshitting: these pictures were taken at a Taco Bell in Portland, Oregon, USA today, 31st January 2024:
Me and my brother went the other day, got two number ones (which is three hard tacos) one regular, one supreme. 18$. And they were basically devoid of fillings. The taco was 80% empty, just a thin layer of stuff at the very bottom. I will never go there again. It was a full on assault of low quality and overpricing for low quality. I have never been so insulted by fast food in my entire life.
Was that about 5 years ago? I just checked a receipt from my last depression fest and it was $7.19 for a crunch wrap and $2.90 for a bean burrito, $6.09 for a cheese quesadilla.
Yea, it’s a ton of food. But, I remember when it was cheaper. Maybe I’m just old now. I don’t have the prices memorized of my local place but the last time I went it was more than I expected (but not $28 for just me…)
Yeah I get that prices vary based on where you live but people taco bell is not expensive if you know what to order. I usually spend about $12 for about 2400 calories worth of food I enjoy over the course of two days. If you want to eat cheaply and not make it yourself, it is hard to beat their value menu or a build your own cravings box.

I went to the reddit taco bell page and found this: https://old.reddit.com/r/tacobell/comments/1aexdaq/what_3_and_change_gets_you_in_this_economy/
This is actually generous compared to the tacos I got.
Also all three shells were broken like the one in this picture.

No, it was about two weeks ago in Portland, Oregon

I edited my original comment to add pictures from an actual Taco Bell that I took in person.
$28 could get you well over 4,000 kcal of food, so I think my comment that it is an “obscene amount of food” is correct.

The combos are almost $5 cheaper than where I live, that’s crazy
