Re: New fast food discussion/review thread
Just got Doritos tacos. I let it sit a bit too long and they got soggy, which was  .
Tasted pretty good, but given that I had Doritos yesterday, the shell doesn't really taste much like one. A bit blander and I wouldn't say it's enough of a difference relative to the slight price increase over the regular taco.

If you're in Manhattan and don't wanna go out of your way or something you could always try the one in Penn Station - although the McD's in Penn Station is complete AIDS so not sure how good that'll be.

fast food in or near penn station is the worst. I'd rather lick one of the homeless guys sleeping in the men's room than eat from one of those places.

I didn't get the wrapper sleeve and the bottom of the shell was soggy and breaking up from the "beef".

Every freckin' fast food place in the country needs a Coke Freestyle machine imo. Who's starting the petition?

i concur ,, taco bells in the city suck big time.. that one you speak about on 36th and 8th ,, is the absolute worst.. they are mixed in with a BR or a dunkin donut, they charge double what others taco bells charge (actually , all the ones in the city charge the max allowed ) , it just taste horrible, i have noticed of all the fast food chains in the US, taco bell seems to differ the most from location to location.

you can find some decent TBs in queens that use standard pricing
the McD's in Penn Station is prob simultaneously the most expensive and worst quality McDs in North America

That laugh is definitely fantastic. I can't believe they ran that. Pizza girl is cute, too.
Damn, scorn, that's the word I was looking for. So delicious.

Re: New fast food discussion/review thread
So I went back to Wendy's last night; the W is $3.89 there, the single is also $3.89, and the JBC is $1.89, so I just got two JBCs and put both of them on one bun for a W with no sauce but double bacon and LTO for slightly less.

Re: New fast food discussion/review thread
finally went to taco bell and tried the new taco
soniaredisappoint.jpg
It really didn't taste any different than a normal taco, and I don't put a ton of sauce on it or anything (1 hot 1 mild per taco).
Cheesy gordita crunch remains delicous.

Oh man, went here today. It's just in Columbus, OH now, but is sooooo amazing. It's like an Italian Chipotle.
