This could have been a mom and pop local food shop, but instead it is a taco bell.
It’s sad, but I also like taco bell a lot so at least its not a burger king
Idk…I used to love Taco Bell when I was younger. Buy the past several years I’m finding it to just be not as satisfying as other fast food places. Not sure what it is exactly. I guess maybe that it’s generally not too much money and effort to get higher quality quick service tex mex (chipotle, tiajuana flats, etc). I actually used to rag on Burger King too…and while their service is shit I actually think their burgers are pretty decent. No idea why they don’t salt their fries tho it drives me bonkers.
I actually really like the impossible whopper, but it feels like the attention to making the food is terrible! I don’t know of any burger king that makes decent food anymore. All McDonald’s are quite the same , but not burger king.
I usually make myself cheesy tortillas at home, so whatever I get at taco bell usually emulates that VS something overdone and too expensive like Chipotle
Man I remember when burger king fries were delicious. That was years ago
If it weren’t a chain it’d probably have become some pricy fine dining spot. As a Taco Bell, tons of people get to enjoy it every day. I used to pass by there all the time, and usually stopped in to enjoy the view (and stuff my face). Plus their outdoor bathroom is hella convenient.
I would imagine that there’s plenty of land for someone to build mom and pop food shops as well if the demand exists for that too.
