“Too much to choose from”. I stopped reading right there. You’re an idiot.
I love an occasional Taco Bell stop. It’s not Mexican food. Where I live, we have excellent Mexican food. Taco Bell is Tex Mex inspired fast food. And it’s tasty….but not good for you in any way. But every once in a while…a Crunchwrap Supreme has my name on it. >

It's actually considered one of, if not the, healthiest fast food places, based on its menu and its dedication in cutting out seriously bad-for-you additives and preservatives. 
It's not better than a health-conscious, home-cooked meal of course, but not good for someone in any way is not accurate. >

Taco Bell was my place to go for lunch in high school. Loved the gorditas and the mexican pizza. Now I think they stopped selling gorditas so I don’t eat there anymore but it was damn tasty toe clippings and sawdust… >

Maturing is realizing you don't care. Eat if you want, don't eat it if you don't want. Nobody should give a fuck about what some other adult is eating. >

Except humans and dogs and shit. Don’t eat them please. >

I'll eat dog the first chance I get just because of this comment. >

😢 >

And maturing even more is realizing that everyone has different preferences, and that Taco Bell is just about the best drunk food you can get. >

I beg to differ. Street tacos definitely the best drunk food. >

Street tacos don’t have that Taco Bell price though! 🤣 >

Taco Bell doesn't even have a low cost anymore though. Their new boxes are 9 dollars where I am >

$9?! 😳 Is your McDonald’s expensive too?!
Where I’m at, I  can get a beefy layer burrito on the $1 menu! >

Getting older is realizing Taco Bell is actually pretty good >

Did you seriously list "menu is too big" as your number 1?  Concept is odd?  Of course it's not real Mexican food - just a fast food version.
Your only valid complaint is the toenail / sawdust meat I guess. >

Gordon Ramsey hate big menus you idiot sandwich >

There is nothing “mature” or “immature” about liking or disliking Taco Bell. It’s fine if you don’t like it, I honestly don’t think this is all that unpopular anyway when it comes to Reddit. >

I can get on board with not liking something but to say it's "maturing" is like silly kid logic. I mean, I guess if maturing is you learning that it isn't real mexican food then that is development? But then again I'm hoping that youngsters at lower developmental stages would understand that too lol >

Im gonna go to the US in 2 months for the first time and I'm definitely going to taco bell cause it will be close, I hope ur wrong. >

Get yourself a chicken quesadilla and some cinnamon twisties. That's my go-to from Taco Bell. >

counterpoint: the Mexican Pizza >

That’s literally all I eat from there lol >

Taco Bell exists because they're the perfect 2AM drunk food because Waffle House isn't always available.  Also, just because you don't like something, doesn't mean you're the only mature person in the world.  Plus, how else are we going to ensure our gas system operates?  Dutch ovens can't produce themselves you know. >

Take your damn upvote.
Taco Bell rocks and may only be eclipsed by Arby's in the fast food game. >

But Arby’s costs like a million dollars just for a meal. >

That's cause they have the meats. >

I actually like taco bell. Number one, you can get your burritos grilled so you can get your food piping hot. Number 2, you can customize your burrito/taco in any way. Number 3, taco bell is probably the cheapest place to fill someone up for $5. 
An actual Mexican restaurant can easily cost $20 per person. Even small tacos easily cost $4, it's ridiculous >

Maturing would’ve been typing up this post, reading it back to yourself, shaking your head and thinking “what tf is wrong with me?” and then deleting it. >

I'm in my 40s. Don't judge me, child. >

go ahead man! if u like it, i say go for it! everything in moderation >

Got news for you.  Almost all "Mexican food" isn't real Mexican either.  Same with Chinese food.  Don't make it not delicious while drunk at one am though >

people can do whatever they feel like is best for them. i personally won’t eat it, but ya obviously living in America i know that most food isn’t authentic to the country of origin. >

It was decent when it was cheap and they had stuff like a 5 dollar cravings box that you could get which would get basically a full meal.  But with how expensive it is now I’d rather go eat real tacos.  The price no longer matches the quality like it used to. >

you just added another point! for the price structure, why would u go somewhere that doesn’t even taste good for the same cost as a better place? >


the menu has way too much to choose from

how is that a reason for it being horrible? >

All fast food is horrible, but taco bell is one of the least bad. It's one of the only places with any decent vegetarian options and it's cheaper than other fast food. Of course I could spend 10 bucks at mcdonald's and get something maybe marginally better? But if I'm spending 10 bucks on lunch it's not gonna be at a fast food place. >

my main complaint is that fast food is horrible. there are a FEW places like sweetgreen or MAYBE chipotle (depending on what u get) that are “healthy.” the real problem too is that in places that are outside of an urban area, there aren’t many quick healthy options. >

Yeah, everyone thinks there are still rural diners but they haven't really existed in a meaningful way for decades. Most small towns have fast food and maybe an Applebee's, it's pretty bleak. >

I haven't eaten there since they took the quasorito off the menu. >

Some stores have it. I eat those almost weekly. Check around for listing in your area. >

Neither of the 2 stores near me have it. >

Your choice is obvious. You must move. Don't think, do it!
Humans weren't meant to "live" like this. >

No quasorito? Litterally 1984. >

Oh f*ck this made me crave a taco soooo bad.
Damn you OP! >

I like their plain hard shell tacos. That’s about all I eat from there >

best fast food for hangovers imo >

They opened Taco Bell in the uk I must say it was a let down after all the hype >

Taco Bell is for when you are drunk and want food at 1am. Nobody goes there for authentic Mexican cuisine. >

Maturing is telling yourself you have food at home. >

Well somebody’s never had nacho fries >

maturing is when you stop eating fast food all together. >

It's fast food. It's not even a real restaurant. >

everyone defending their right to eat taco bell is hilarious. no, you're not mature for allowing yourself to eat trash food. and giving yourself a hangover in the first place is opposite of mature. >

Taco Bell is pretty dead. There are only 3 left in my city. Compared to over 10 Taco Times & Mucho Burritos (which are much better!) >

Yeah never get meat at taco bell, thats your first problem.  Black beans all the way.  Also the cheesy potato soft tacos are the best thing on the menu. >

Yes of course, because in highschool I totally thought Taco Bell was a 5 star restaurant. Only by gaining wisdom and maturity did I realize that wasn’t so. >

I guess I matured like 20 years ago. >

We have Taco Bell stores opening up in the UK. I understand UK fast food can never compare to American fast food, so maybe my opinion is worthless anyway.
However, when I look at the menu at Taco Bell, it never seems to "scratch" that fast food "itch". I can't find anything that appeals to my hunger for eating fast food, so I just go elsewhere >

* giggles in stubborn Dutch neanderthal * >

It is actually one of the healthiest (if not the healthiest) fast-food places.
It's low-rate "American" tacos and other foods, but it's not disgusting, as far as fast food is concerned. >

Did OP just admit to eating toe nail clippings? >

When I was in high school and didn't have any friends to hang out with I would go to local bar concerts by myself. 
I got to see some amazing bands up close and personal. When the show was over, usually close to midnight, I would hop in my piece o'shit car and drive to the only fast food place that would be open that late: Taco Bell.
In the early 90's Taco Bell just hit differently. Their food actually had a good flavor to it. I would stock up on a burrito supreme and a few soft tacos as those were the easiest to eat with just one hand and I would drive for 45 minutes to get home. 
Taco Bell has always been there for me and holds a special place in my heart. I will always look back with fondness at the place they held in my childhood. 
Yes, their food has changed flavor over the decades, but I honestly believe that's because of the beef industry. Yes  it may have a weird flavor from time to time, but it actually has lettuce, tomatoes so it can't be all bad.
And even though we all joke about it giving us percussive diarrhea, I can honestly say I've never once had any intestinal distress from their food. 
In summation: let's end the war on tacos.
Thank you. >

Man when you get off work at 2 am and don't wanna cook, Taco Bell had your back >

nobody argues that taco bell is gourmet.  you eat it when you're trashed, shit your pants, and then carry on with your life. >

Their cheese quesadillas are delicious, so I disagree. >

Hey the spicy potato taco is baller, and taco bell is "authentic American food" in Mexico >


the menu has way too much to choose from.

I kinda disagree about that, but I also don't think that's a big problem.  Sometimes it can be difficult to decide, but I like having options.  I don't really think Taco Bell has too many items though.
​

it’s not mexican food? it’s also not american food?

Is that a bad thing?  Why does it matter if the food can't clearly be categorized into one thing?  There's also Tex-Mex cuisine which is a mixture of Texan and Mexican, and that's normally pretty good. >

I’m Mexican and chicken quesadilla is the best thing ever, one of my favorite places for real >

Top tier fast food. Right behind in and out >

Yea agreed, Taco Bell is nasty 🤮. I bet you their meat isn’t even real meat. >

Then I become very immature on long road trips >

Pretty much all of my dress shirts from my 20s and early 30s share the same characteristic. They all had to get dry cleaned after drunkenly spilling Taco Bell all over myself after a wedding.
