    The draw of Taco Bell was its value. The quality of its food is not commensurate with the price increase. This is exactly what McDonalds did too. At this point it's just cheaper to go to actual restaurants.

    After you mentioned the changes to the cravings menu, I went to check it out on their website. I noticed that the beefy melt burrito was gone. Instead, they introduced something new called the cheesy double beef burrito. It turns out that was the same item except the only difference was the name and it cost fifty cents more.

      The only thing I get at taco bell are the boxes. Now it looks like the $5 box is gone, and the only ones left now are the breakfast box or the app exclusive cravings box, both of which are $6.
      The app box does have an option for a chalupa as one of the items, and you also get a burrito or taco along with a side and a drink.
      Personally I get the crunchwrap, beefy five layer, cheesy potatoes.
      Buying items on their own are crazy expensive at taco bell, since the beefy five layer is already almost five dollars, but the $6 box has that, a drink, another item, and a side. The economics of taco bell don't make much sense to me with how cheap they make the boxes.

This was probably 2018-2019. Why did they choose flatbread? Why not mini quesadillas again? A standard tortilla works just fine and grilling it in the quesadilla press made it magical.

    As a longtime Taco Bell fan, these changes were disappointing.

The chipotle chicken burrito was tasty and tremendous value for $2. The new additions are fine, but seem to be rather skimpy in terms of value and size.

Sneaky sneaky of Taco Bell when people are having trouble saving money in an inflated economy to begin with. Companies sure aren't giving raises to match. People should not buy their products and maybe they will lower the price. You can get KFC for better deals on the average...and it's probably healthier. If that's possible.

    I used to get the Beefy Melt Burrito all the time for $2. Now, with this new 'value menu', they took that away and replaced it with a near identical burrito for $2.79, the Cheesy Double Beef Burrito. The only difference between the two being that you're forced to have double meat. That might sound like it's reasonable to have a price increase if there's more meat but (and this is based purely on memory, but) the new burrito looks about 20% smaller than the Beefy Melt. I can't even tell if there is more meat inside than before.

      Size is highly location dependent. My location’s double beef burritos are much bigger than the beefy melts were, and that’s how they’re supposed to be. File a complaint or something.

      the only difference between the beefy melt and the double beef is the double beef has 2 scoops of beef, a smaller portion of 3chz and it doesn't get steamed..... wish they woulda just kept the beefy melt 😭😭

      Del Taco briefly appeared in the Chicago area (I think in the 2000s), but left maybe a couple years later. Their tacos definitely tasted loads better than Taco Hell, but to me they were the same as making them at home by dumping a packet of McCormick spices in some ground beef (not bad, but why spend more for something you can make @ home?).

  • @greenbasterd9425

    I'm not upset with the 30-40% increase on an item still under $3. It could be worse with today's inflation and my states upcoming $20/hr fast food wage. I just paid $18 for a combo at Jack in the Box.
    The $20/hr thing is going to upend the fast food industry in California. The margins are very low for franchisees as it is. There's no way this doesn't get passed on to the consumer, eliminate jobs, or eliminate locations that, while marginally profitable, before now become perpetual losses.

    • @AndyDrake-FOOKYT
      @AndyDrake-FOOKYT Před 5 měsíci +1

      It will do all of those things. Prices will be passed on to the consumer, people will eat there less, the locations will become unprofitable, and people will lose their jobs when they close.
      Then people will complain about food deserts...even though they used to complain that the only affordable option WAS fast food and they considered THAT a food desert. They will use that as an excuse to open up state owned grocery stores and perhaps even 'restaurants'.
      Enjoy!

    The chicken flatbread melt is literally the same item they were selling when I first started Taco Bell as my very first job. That was in the summer of 2016. Back then the dollar menu was a dollar and there was way more on the dollar menu, like the mini quesadillas which are pretty much the same thing as the flatbreada but with a tortilla instead of the unfried chalupa shell. Also during that LTO they had a steak flatbread. Idk why thats not a thing now when they just have to swap chicken for steak while making it.

      @@Mystic-Midnight I think I understand where you're coming from. However, a %40 increase in price is a %40 decrease in purchasing power regardless of the amount. I do find your example interesting though. You seem to be okay with surrendering %40 more of your resources for something you label as cheap and throwaway which makes me think perhaps you value the item more than you realize.
