MUCHACOS!

Yeah, I always preferred Taco Bueno. Too bad the local one has been closed for over 10 years. :(

Ditto here... 750 calories of pure goodness. Throw down a Meximelt to close the deal. Perfect 1000 calorie meal right there.

Those things are 750 calories????!?!?

We used to go to TB and always order at least 2 + tacos and burritos after boozin all night...I'm surprised I'm not 500 lbs...

What can I say? Some jobs are actually that horrible - that one has to drink alcohol to make it through the shift.

I should have mentioned that it is for after we close for the night, and we are just cleaning the place up.
No, I do not allow it while we are still open, and it is not very often that we even have any at work. The job really isn't that bad.

Awww, I miss Taco Bell. Up here in my University town (it's barely even a town) there are none. I think my favorite item there is the Fries Supreme. Mmmm.

I don't eat big macs or drink pop. I stick to the dollar menu. How many calories is 4 spicy mcchickens? or 4 double che's? The best is when they have 29 cent hamburgers...you can get like 6 for 2 bucks. Still, 1700 is insane though.

taco bell isnt exactly cheap

however i do like their 7 layer burrito and their grilled stuffed burrito. I also like the 3 soft taco's , but frankly that's too much price for the amount of food..

certian items del taco is better.

We have a Taco Bell and a Del Taco down the street right next to each other.. mmmm :)

its funny teh del taco has no security windows, the tacobell does and they are less than 100 feet from each other.

not sure about spicy mcchickens but 4 mcchickens would be almost 2000 cals according to their nutrition calculator

Anyone remember the rancho steak burrito? That was AWESOME.

I also remember when almost everything on their menu was .49$. Those were the days.

And how they have 1 taco for $.79 or the magical 6 pack for $4.74. They so nice to just do the math for you but not actually offer any discount.
