Del Taco's Del Taco is what tacos used to be until they started getting cheap

The $1 crunchtada is also quite tasty after 3 inferno packets.

Revisited CfA

Spicy chicken sandwich, waffle fries well done, CfA sauce

The spicy chicken sandwich was....fine. Added CFA sauce into the sandwich itself. I'm sure this was a great product when it was first introduced to the masses a decade ago or w/e, and I will freely admit it is a far higher quality product than other chicken sandwiches of it's class. And the waffle fries well done were pretty damn good.

Having said that, the Chick'n Shack is a in an different class.


I guess it just depends what you have access to:
On Sundays, > 10pm, or when you have <$3? McDonalds
You have access to Shake Shack? Chick'n Shack
All other times? CfA

I see nothing special there. Looks like the most generic taco you'll ever find. The tomatoes look like they may have been diced within the last three days, so could be considered 'fresh', and the lettuce isn't brown. So there's that. But that plastic cheese looks like it was shredded about a month ago.

I get the breakfast sandwiches from 7-11 sometimes and when I got one today, they had one with chorizo instead of sausage. It was a croissant with chorizo, egg, and cheese, and it was pretty damn good. Definitely better than the normal sausage one.

Chorizo is glorious. Took me a long time to figure out that chorizo is the key ingredient for homemade breakfast burritos. Sausage just doesn't cut it!

The potatoes and eggs are the key to a good breakfast burrito. I've had many great breakfast burritos with no meat at all. Chorizo _is_ sausage, just spicier than some.

A burrito without meat is crazy talk, whether it's a breakfast one or not.

It's the In-N-Out vs Five Guys or Shake Shack argument. CFA spicy chicken sandwich is $3.35. Chickn Shack is $6.55. Product that is double the price should be in different class.

And yet it's a best in class example. Class meaning beloved patriot fast food tacos

bean burrito?

Yeah, I've had some great non-meat burritos. Bean & cheese being high on the list, of course. As long as it tastes good, that's what matters!

 

[purbeast0]

Any burrito without meat is a crime, bean and cheese included. Just add some steak in there and it would be a winner.

That taco is $0.43 on Taco Tuesdays! (3 for $1.29)

Combine that with their Black Friday gift card special, and I can't figure out how they aren't losing money!

I love a good bean & cheese burrito. Unfortunately many places used crappy beans and terrible cheese but a good one is better than any burrito with meat.

Denver people: I am envious that you have Park Burger. Guess it's not really fast food, but man, that was a tasty burger.

well, to be fair, I think bean + cheese is the default burrito you get in Mexico. + meat is like the Mexican hipster version of a burrito.

JFC look at this f'n thing, they finally figured out how to get rid of their crappy potato wedges

Tim Hortons will serve up a new poutine doughnut — complete with gravy, cheese curds and potato wedges — on Canada Day. But it's heading to select U.S. locations only.

I like the fact that it's in America only. Basically to take the poutine stereotype the extra mile.

I admit, I would try it... but I don't think it would be very good. It's just not two things that should go together. Potato wedges being used for poutine is also a sin on it's own. Everything about that is just wrong.

 

[KMFJD]

still trying to wrap my head around all those flavors...soggy potato wedges over top of a glazed donut sprinkle some mozzarella (can't possibly be real cheese curds can they?)then drenched in some type of canned gravy....wtf
