Very nice. We have a chain called taco town with cheap tacos, but they are nothing special. Taco bell is better than them.
My favorite local "deal" is 4 large birria tacos for $13. Only worth it because of how much meat they put in there, but not really a deal.
Im saying lol like a gentrified taco place would charge $10 for a taco, you gotta find the ones doing it for $1-2.50, them authentic places got great value if you go to the right one
One of my local spots has a taco Tuesday deal that's 5 fat al pastor tacos for $12-$13. It's not goofy cheap, but I needed help finishing them and I can house some tacos.
If you drive to their location in the hood it's only 10 bucks, but that's more than 2 bucks in gas.
My local taco place does 4 tacos al pastor for $7.50. Granted I live in an area with a pretty large Mexican immigrant population, but Ive found the secret to good and cheap Mexican food is to find a Mexican grocer and see if they have a small restaurant attached to it. My go to at my local joint is carne asada and a Mexican coke. $8.50 for the Carne asada and $1.50 for the coke. $12, including tip, gets me dinner and lunch if I'm not in the mood to be uncomfortably full.
No but FR. My local Mexican spots are NOT cheap… They’re not this pricy, but they’re noticeably more expensive than TB. Obviously this is location dependent and will not apply to everyone.
There's a very popular taco place where I'm at, Tacos El Gordo, and they are fucking delicious but their adobada is now close to $5 a taco and they're pretty small.
It was the first place my buddies took me to when I moved here 12+ years ago. Completely redefined the way I look at tacos. Happy to see them still flourishing but the prices have made it more of an occasional spot.
Very true. People keep acting like fast food is suddenly thr most expensive shit ever, but I'm going to regular restaurants and seeing even more dramatic price increases.
I live right down the street from In n' Out and they just raised the price of a Double Double from $5.90 to $6.05. I am only seeing small increases from fast food and sit down restaurants I eat at regularly. Most of the time the increase is so trivial I don't even notice.
That’s wild because I’m in a mcol/lcol and they raised everything by 20% minimum recently. It’s not even the store gouging as I have a couple around me that show the same increase (unless they all owned by the same person)
Probably depends where you live, but the same thing near me. The closest Mexican resturant before covid had a quesadilla for $8, that thing was loaded with burrito size tortillas. Now 4 years later, it's $15 with smaller size tortillas, barely any meat. I never go back, only check prices on their website. But still as expensive.
That sucks you live somewhere with such expensive tacos. I’m in NorCal and the more boutique type spots will price gouge like this. But usually if they are using this receipt paper you aren’t paying that much.
I'm trying to understand the math. You willingly paid like 5$ per taco? I would have left. $18 for 3 tacos and a coke. FOH. I don't even care if it was good. Some fast food I understand. Like I don't want to make fried chicken or chicken sandwiches at home, so I go out if that's what I want. But tacos👀. Literally so easy to make. Plus you get so much more. 20$ could get you tacos at home for roughly 4-6 people. At TB or anywhere else you would be spending up to 60$-75$ for a family of four.
That's how all bars and restaurants are now. Might as well double your tab and pay to go to a stadium or theme park and get the entertainment value lol.
Some place around me charges $24 (last year when I went so could be higher now) for 3 birria tacos and rice on the side. They were amazing tasting but not $24 amazing. Or some bars are $9-$10 a beer. At the sports stadiums it's $12-14 a beer. Shits ridiculous. People give me shit for going to a sporting event "have fun playing for a $12 beer and $16 nachos lol" like you do the same exact thing if not worse when you go out on the weekend ya dum dum.
Well in my defense, I was expecting the tacos to be $3 each and the coke to be $3. It had been months since I went to that place, and that's what the prices were before.
They didn't bring me out a menu, so I didn't see whatever price changes they made...hard to walk out of there after finishing my meal and then seeing the crazy price.
And taco bell has the $25 meal for 4.
I’m not sure where the fuck the “cheaper local restaurants” are for the people that say that shit but every local place I go to is just about the same if not more expensive than a chain. Great example is damn potstickers at my favorite Chinese place in town are $6.95 for 6 and the place I just visited they were $7.99for 6.
We went to Ole ole got two amazing tacos (homemade shells and amazing shredded chicken) beans and rice for $13 and great salsa and chips…. After a drink I’m about the same as my Taco Bell order and it’s all low quality food…. Not to mention the Nachos my wife can’t finish 😅
My local TB a taco supreme is $2.99. Most of the local taco places near me are $3-$5 per taco. They often will come with a side, or a salsa bar.
If I have the money and am looking for a quality experience then the local taqueria hits the spot. But some days, I just want a crunchy taco supreme with fire sauce.
Small businesses are finessing harder than fast food restaurants in my area. $3.50 - $4+ for ONE taco. Absolutely insane. I don understand people saying local taquerias are cheaper. Food trucks AND taquerias in my area charge $3-$4+ for a single taco. Where y'all at with these cheap prices? Montana? Certainly not in California.
Yeah, mexican food isnt cheap (anymore). And Im tired of everyone acting like it is. Sorry but I dont consider $15 for a burrito or quesadilla to be ‘cheap’ exactly. I think the only place now to get cheap mexican food is, well, mexico.
Depends on where you're going.
I know places with $15 burritos and places with $9 burritos.
Mexican taquerias are generally cheaper than Taco Bell. Sit down restaurants? Not so much.
"Mexican taquerias are generally cheaper than Taco Bell."
This has been false for me for 100% of the taquerias I've visited in California. A single taco goes for $3-$4+. Idk where y'all are finding these cheap taquerias.
$3-4 is still about the same as a steak taco at Taco Bell 😆. 3 Doritos locos taco Supremes runs me about $10, the same as 3 tacos in LA based on two menus I've found. I live in Iowa.
Find a better taco place. Not sure where you live but it’s pretty easy to find $2-3 street tacos. If they are the only place in your area serving authentic street tacos, of course they will charge a premium.
That's sort of an outlier, or they have a lot of competition to keep prices down. Even in my smaller town, they're not that cheap unless it's a special.
“sKiLl IsSuE”, affordability is so location dependent its crazy. $1.50 tacos are only available if there’s A. Lots of competition, B. cheap ingredients that would make you feel like crap, C. LCOL.
I’ll keep looking but I’m pretty sure businesses where I’m from couldn’t keep the lights on for $1.50 a taco.
[https://larealpdx.com/pearl-restaurant-menu/](https://larealpdx.com/pearl-restaurant-menu/)
my bad, it's $2.50 a taco. That's still not a deal breaker for me. Delicious as fuck, filling, and supporting a small local business.
That’s more reasonable I’d say, my TB has been jacking up prices lately so I’m trying to support local places more often but $3.50-$5 for one lil taco is brutal if you’re feeding more than one 😅.
Their intent is to charge only slightly less. Ever since the pandemic people got too used to take out and never looked back. They will keep increasing prices until sales drop. The reason why some local restaurants are cheap is they're desperate for business. So fast food will be slightly less expensive than most restaurants, in some cases slightly more if you're in a busy upper middle class area where the drive thru is always packed
Around me places have street tacos on Tuesday for like 2 bucks or so. Regular tacos are a bit more but also bigger. I like living in a city with lots of Mexican people, there are a ton of tiny Mexican restaurants.
You're the one who chose to pay $6 for a taco. I live on Long Island and there are probably 5-10 taco places within 5 miles of me where I can get loaded pastor tacos for $3 each.
I could also go to Qdoba and get 3 tacos for $10 which are 10x better than TB who also charges $10 for a 3 taco meal.
Fair point , I did clarify in a comment that the last time I went to this place the tacos were $3 and this time they didn't give me a menu. So there was no way to know I was about to be ripped off
I didn't ask for a menu because they didn't speak English and I already knew what I wanted.
Depends on where you go. My local place has beef cheese lettuce and any other basic toppings for $1.50 each. They also give a huge basket of free fresh chips and salsa
It’s getting ridiculous out here! I get Delcos(cash only Philly cheesesteak place in town) delivered to my job. BLT on Rye and Pepper Jack Mac & Cheese bites for $10.12. I give the delivery driver $15. I call them directly, it takes 45mins to an hour, but it’s delicious and $15 cash.
To be fair, though, this is anecdotal at best.
At least with fast food, you kind of have a wider margin of prices being raised to work with.
This seems *exceedingly* expensive for authentic street tacos compared to what I'm used to.
It may not be cheaper sometimes, but the quality is a lot better. And I can have a tall Mexican beer to wash it down with. There will always be a place in my heart for TB, but local Mexican joints are underrated.
Well, don't go to real taco places that overcharge.
I go to my local taco hole and get the chips, salsa, 3 tacos, rice, beans, side of guacamole, side of sour cream, and a pop for $12.00. Less $$$ than TB and way better quality.
It's possible.
At my local Mexican restaurant, It's 6 bux for a taco salad which is about the same size as 3 non skimped crunchwrap supremes, and you get unlimited chips and dip, or just one big bag of chips and a cup of dip if you take out, still a good deal imo, they give you like a normal dorito bag size amount of chips.
They want $15 for a torta at the closest taco truck near me. $5 for a birria taco...but $2 more for the consomme (autocorrect really wanted that to be condom or condiment).
My favorite Mexican restaurant in town is cheaper than that, torta is $9 and they have a 4 birria taco platter for $13 or 14.
But they really get you with the drink prices. It's about $4 for a soft drink anywhere in town for me. Taco bell It's $1, and fast food is pretty much the only places that tipping isn't the norm...for now.
Yes, yes... Because every local restaurant charges the same... 🙄
This is a perfect example of anecdotal fallacy.
The whole, look at how some of my letters are caps, so I must be an idiot...
Look, I hate to punch down on you friend, but goddamn is this stupid.
Ya fast food will always be cheaper sadly. I would like to pin it to large scale capitalism here in the US but this cheap fast food is similar in many non capitalistic countries like in Germany, Switzerland etc. Large companies are just able to produce small prices which small business mostly cannot. HOWEVER small business restaurants are better quality than Taco Bell so choose your fighter lol.
You either live in a expensive place or don't know how to find good deals. Go to places that offer deals on certain days or times. Or continue to pay for tacobell and stop complaining?
I can go to an actual Mexican restaurant and get a chicken quesadilla dinner plate with rice and beans plus free chips and salsa for about $13. I don't even want to think about how much that same amount of food would be at Taco Bell nowadays. Probably over $25 considering their quesadillas are paper thin and you'd have to stack 3 or 4 to equal the one.
This sub is full of people that say it. This sub is basically full of people that shit on TB while praising del taco and "cheaper" local places.
Hell, if you even bothered to read some of the comments instead of making your comment , you would see that people here are talking about cheaper places.
It’s almost comical how every time I see (justified) complaints of jacked up grocery, restaurant, and fast food costs I see people talking about their local taco truck where they can get a wheelbarrow full of rice and beans for $1.50
I’d like to see pics of these $6 tacos.
I wish I took pics, they were just your basic bitch street tacos, so it didn't cross my mind
My local cafe has Taco Tuesday - big ass tacos for $1.35 each.
Very nice. We have a chain called taco town with cheap tacos, but they are nothing special. Taco bell is better than them. My favorite local "deal" is 4 large birria tacos for $13. Only worth it because of how much meat they put in there, but not really a deal.
Uhhhh birria is awesome
Birria and the sauce are to die for
Oh man they sound fantastic
Just because people say local restaurants are cheaper doesn't mean you can show up to any one of them and expect prices to be cheaper
Im saying lol like a gentrified taco place would charge $10 for a taco, you gotta find the ones doing it for $1-2.50, them authentic places got great value if you go to the right one
OP definitely went to one of those places that has wooden soccer mom signs that say “Margaritas Are Bae” in cursive.
One of my local spots has a taco Tuesday deal that's 5 fat al pastor tacos for $12-$13. It's not goofy cheap, but I needed help finishing them and I can house some tacos. If you drive to their location in the hood it's only 10 bucks, but that's more than 2 bucks in gas.

This is the Mexican grocer place...which is the sad part
Damn I was about to suggest a Mexican grocer too...
No but FR. My local Mexican spots are NOT cheap… They’re not this pricy, but they’re noticeably more expensive than TB. Obviously this is location dependent and will not apply to everyone.
There's a very popular taco place where I'm at, Tacos El Gordo, and they are fucking delicious but their adobada is now close to $5 a taco and they're pretty small.
The adobada tacos from Tacos El Gordo is genuinely the greatest taco I’ve ever had though. That avocado sauce is crazy.
It was the first place my buddies took me to when I moved here 12+ years ago. Completely redefined the way I look at tacos. Happy to see them still flourishing but the prices have made it more of an occasional spot.
Exactly! Yet people will continue bitching about TB’s tacos being $2…
I can get a taco dinner (3 tacos, beans, rice and a coke) for $9 at my favorite taqueria in SW Detroit. Cheaper than Taco Bell and much better.
nice. most places arent that cheap though
Very true. People keep acting like fast food is suddenly thr most expensive shit ever, but I'm going to regular restaurants and seeing even more dramatic price increases.
I live right down the street from In n' Out and they just raised the price of a Double Double from $5.90 to $6.05. I am only seeing small increases from fast food and sit down restaurants I eat at regularly. Most of the time the increase is so trivial I don't even notice.

Wait. Are my Reddit and tik tok worlds colliding right now 😂
Not going to the right places. My local spot does 1.99 tacos and is consistently the best mexican I have.
They also don't use things like sawdust as filler in the ground beef.
Bro can't distinguish between sawdust and commonly used dietary cellulose.
Sometimes sawdust is all you can afford. And apparently, speaking from experience, it doesn’t ruin the flavor or texture much.
Long as you're happy with being sold "meat"
Yes.
Probably depends where you live, but the same thing near me. The closest Mexican resturant before covid had a quesadilla for $8, that thing was loaded with burrito size tortillas. Now 4 years later, it's $15 with smaller size tortillas, barely any meat. I never go back, only check prices on their website. But still as expensive.

Yea…this is like theme park prices
That's how all bars and restaurants are now. Might as well double your tab and pay to go to a stadium or theme park and get the entertainment value lol. Some place around me charges $24 (last year when I went so could be higher now) for 3 birria tacos and rice on the side. They were amazing tasting but not $24 amazing. Or some bars are $9-$10 a beer.

People give me shit for going to a sporting event "have fun playing for a $12 beer and $16 nachos lol" like you do the same exact thing if not worse when you go out on the weekend ya dum dum.
This isn’t theme park prices. Tacos are regularly $4.50 now in Chicago, even at authentic places serving CDMX style tacos.
Well in my defense, I was expecting the tacos to be $3 each and the coke to be $3. It had been months since I went to that place, and that's what the prices were before. They didn't bring me out a menu, so I didn't see whatever price changes they made...hard to walk out of there after finishing my meal and then seeing the crazy price. And taco bell has the $25 meal for 4.
Ok, that makes sense.
Found the Taco Bell exec
I wish I was loaded like that
i can get 3 tacos and a large mexican coke for like $12 at mine. you just getting knocked over the head lmao
It really depends. I have a local place that is around the same price as TB, but other Mexican joints are super pricey.
I’m not sure where the fuck the “cheaper local restaurants” are for the people that say that shit but every local place I go to is just about the same if not more expensive than a chain. Great example is damn potstickers at my favorite Chinese place in town are $6.95 for 6 and the place I just visited they were $7.99for 6.
Depends on where you go. I went to Mi Cocina Friday and got a bad ass picadillo burrito with a side salad for $13
We went to Ole ole got two amazing tacos (homemade shells and amazing shredded chicken) beans and rice for $13 and great salsa and chips…. After a drink I’m about the same as my Taco Bell order and it’s all low quality food…. Not to mention the Nachos my wife can’t finish 😅

Wtf is 500 mL?!?!?!
Cop said he’d like a liter of cola
"Litre is French for give me some fucking cola before I break vous fucking lips!"
Street tacos in Los Angeles are typically 3 for $9
Small businesses are finessing harder than fast food restaurants in my area. $3.50 - $4+ for ONE taco. Absolutely insane. I don understand people saying local taquerias are cheaper. Food trucks AND taquerias in my area charge $3-$4+ for a single taco. Where y'all at with these cheap prices? Montana? Certainly not in California.
Nothing is cheap. At all. Anywhere.
Crazy times that's for damn sure
Yeah, mexican food isnt cheap (anymore). And Im tired of everyone acting like it is. Sorry but I dont consider $15 for a burrito or quesadilla to be ‘cheap’ exactly. I think the only place now to get cheap mexican food is, well, mexico.

Well this receipt is from the cheapest mom and pop hole in the wall in my city
I'd love to know what city. I have gotten cheaper tacos in NY, LA, and Chicago. I must avoid this affordable taco desert.
Mobile, Al
Well that makes sense, it’s Alabama… Nobody wants to live there that’s why it’s expensive
It is a shithole nanny state, that's for damn sure.
Taqueria Mexico is $3.59 per taco...
I found several cheaper options immediately.
"Mexican taquerias are generally cheaper than Taco Bell." This has been false for me for 100% of the taquerias I've visited in California. A single taco goes for $3-$4+. Idk where y'all are finding these cheap taquerias.
$3-4 is still about the same as a steak taco at Taco Bell 😆. 3 Doritos locos taco Supremes runs me about $10, the same as 3 tacos in LA based on two menus I've found. I live in Iowa.

Find a better taco place. Not sure where you live but it’s pretty easy to find $2-3 street tacos. If they are the only place in your area serving authentic street tacos, of course they will charge a premium.
$4 is the going rate around here.
That’s robbery, there *has* to be a cheaper spot than that!
Yes, there are. Fast food taco chains like del Taco and taco bell.
Check places for taco Tuesday or happy hour special.
I know a spot near me that does delicious $1.50 tacos, carne asada included. PNW. Find better.
That's sort of an outlier, or they have a lot of competition to keep prices down. Even in my smaller town, they're not that cheap unless it's a special.

Tons of local spots in PDX are trying to push the $5 taco and I'm having none of it. I have no idea why anyone would pay that much.
PNW has pretty shit Mexican food.
Their intent is to charge only slightly less. Ever since the pandemic people got too used to take out and never looked back. They will keep increasing prices until sales drop.

i live in ca… the street tacos here are literally $3 and some change each
I don't think I've ever heard that they were cheaper, just better for local economy than chains.
I always ask the price before ordering if it’s not already shown because of this.
That's a smart move, after today I'll have to do that
I was going to get empanadas thinking they'd be cheap, then I saw the prices vs size and was like 'dang i might at well get TB'.
Around me places have street tacos on Tuesday for like 2 bucks or so. Regular tacos are a bit more but also bigger. I like living in a city with lots of Mexican people, there are a ton of tiny Mexican restaurants.
at least you get a better quality. (hopefully)
You're the one who chose to pay $6 for a taco. I live on Long Island and there are probably 5-10 taco places within 5 miles of me where I can get loaded pastor tacos for $3 each. I could also go to Qdoba and get 3 tacos for $10 which are 10x better than TB who also charges $10 for a 3 taco meal.

Taco trucks is where it’s at, I went to a local restaurant once and they gave me some boiled ass chicken tacos with no seasoning
You just gotta know where to find the good ones. Don’t discredit the reality just because you got fucked
Depends on where you go. My local place has beef cheese lettuce and any other basic toppings for $1.50 each. They also give a huge basket of free fresh chips and salsa
Be happy that you supported a local business and are trying something new
I mean, I'm never supporting them again tho
Sure, you could pay less and eat dog meat tacos.
The place I went to was more likely to have dog meat than TB is. Mom and pop restaurants aren't nearly as regulated as fast food
Cash only restaurants are cheaper
This was cash only, in the ghetto, Mexican grocer, and in alabama. Should've been half this price.
It’s getting ridiculous out here! I get Delcos(cash only Philly cheesesteak place in town) delivered to my job. BLT on Rye and Pepper Jack Mac & Cheese bites for $10.12. I give the delivery driver $15. I call them directly, it takes 45mins to an hour, but it’s delicious and $15 cash.
You expect to pay a dollar a taco in literal bumfuck nowhere Alabama? Lol
To be fair, though, this is anecdotal at best. At least with fast food, you kind of have a wider margin of prices being raised to work with. This seems *exceedingly* expensive for authentic street tacos compared to what I'm used to.
Who even measures coke in milliliters
It may not be cheaper sometimes, but the quality is a lot better. And I can have a tall Mexican beer to wash it down with. There will always be a place in my heart for TB, but local Mexican joints are underrated.
Well, don't go to real taco places that overcharge. I go to my local taco hole and get the chips, salsa, 3 tacos, rice, beans, side of guacamole, side of sour cream, and a pop for $12.00. Less $$$ than TB and way better quality. It's possible.
wtf? that’s insane prices where tf are you ?
At my local Mexican restaurant, It's 6 bux for a taco salad which is about the same size as 3 non skimped crunchwrap supremes, and you get unlimited chips and dip, or just one big bag of chips and a cup of dip if you take out, still a good deal imo, they give you like a normal dorito bag size amount of chips.
$5 for a really good sized burrito at my local place
The burritos at this place are $10. My favorite Mexican place around they are $15.
Damn, that is pricey
You think just like me 😂
Great minds, right?
What $6 deals? Is that an app only thing? Because i work TB and we dont have $6 deals. Even our cheapest box right now is a bit more than $10
Yea, the $5.99 app only deal. Beefy 5 layer, chalupa (or other items), twists, and a drink
Bruh go to a hood mexican place and get 10 tacos for 18$ what the fuck?
This was in the hood
Why didn’t you just go to Taco Bell in the first place?
I will next time
People in here defending taco bell increasing prices for no reason. Wild. Must be a gen z post with some gen z supporters. Yall will learn one day.
Ok boomer EDIT: Aww, can dish out insults but get mad when you get called a boomer.
Or: tAcO tRuCkS aRe cHeApEr And proceed to charge $4-6 a taco.
They want $15 for a torta at the closest taco truck near me. $5 for a birria taco...but $2 more for the consomme (autocorrect really wanted that to be condom or condiment). My favorite Mexican restaurant in town is cheaper than that, torta is $9 and they have a 4 birria taco platter for $13 or 14. But they really get you with the drink prices. It's about $4 for a soft drink anywhere in town for me. Taco bell It's $1, and fast food is pretty much the only places that tipping isn't the norm...for now.
Make. Your. Own.
Yes, yes... Because every local restaurant charges the same... 🙄 This is a perfect example of anecdotal fallacy. The whole, look at how some of my letters are caps, so I must be an idiot... Look, I hate to punch down on you friend, but goddamn is this stupid.
All I was doing was giving an anecdotal experience, just like everyone else does. No need to be an asshole, friend
Good Mexican food is cheaper than this.
Not really. Burritos in my area go for around $9-11 but they are bigger than Taco Bell burritos. Tacos are about $4 just for 1.
Maybe in your area
Ya fast food will always be cheaper sadly. I would like to pin it to large scale capitalism here in the US but this cheap fast food is similar in many non capitalistic countries like in Germany, Switzerland etc. Large companies are just able to produce small prices which small business mostly cannot. HOWEVER small business restaurants are better quality than Taco Bell so choose your fighter lol.
I can get seven tacos that come with free salsas and nachos for $18. Your local taqueria just sucks.
There’s no way you paid $6 per taco🤣 in the Bay Area you would never find anyone paying even 5 unless they don’t know any better
Maybe crunchy tacos? 😃
You either live in a expensive place or don't know how to find good deals. Go to places that offer deals on certain days or times. Or continue to pay for tacobell and stop complaining?
This was in alabama...LCOL. Why are you being such a fucking cunt to a stranger for no reason?
Says the person cussing out a stranger.
Gotta fight fire with fire.
Also can’t get Al pastor tacos at taco bellllll mfffff
Which is a damn shame
Well Taco Bell is not authentic Mexican food so
Doesn't mean they can't make their own LTO version
I can go to an actual Mexican restaurant and get a chicken quesadilla dinner plate with rice and beans plus free chips and salsa for about $13. I don't even want to think about how much that same amount of food would be at Taco Bell nowadays. Probably over $25 considering their quesadillas are paper thin and you'd have to stack 3 or 4 to equal the one.
[удалено]
You're really angry about my anecdotal experience. Go touch some grass.
Who ever said local shops are cheaper?
This sub is full of people that say it. This sub is basically full of people that shit on TB while praising del taco and "cheaper" local places. Hell, if you even bothered to read some of the comments instead of making your comment , you would see that people here are talking about cheaper places.
Tons of people on here, and r/fastfood. r/frugal also.
It’s almost comical how every time I see (justified) complaints of jacked up grocery, restaurant, and fast food costs I see people talking about their local taco truck where they can get a wheelbarrow full of rice and beans for $1.50
