    Don’t mind the prices as long as the quality is there. All of the fast food chains in my area have tanked in quality. Except for Five Guys.

      The first 5 guys in our area was great quality and cheap! Then a couple years later the quality has been way down and prices about 4x. Just insane and disappointing.

        I want to know where this unicorn exists!

        I’ve tried going to Taco Bell three times, three different locations, over the past 3 - 4 years and I’ve regretted it every single time.

        The last time I went to one, it was like almost everything that could go wrong did. Long wait of 20+ minutes. Employee(s) smelled strongly of weed. The 5-layer burrito was disgustingly dry and missing about 2 layers. And the price for 2 crappy, tiny burritos and a drink was around $12.

        Back when I used to eat there more frequently (broke college kid), the same exact meal was less than $5.
