Agree on 5g. There's one right next to the qdoba by my work. I've never been tempted to choose 5g over qdoba. Especially with free guac.

Sometimes I go in to chipotle and just eat the free quac

Like poster villian1 I do a bit of commercial food tasting and I did some reworks of the Mexican pizza a few months ago. They're trying some creamy sauces.

The ones from the test kitchen looked nothing like those atrocities posted recently though. And no green onions.

Ok finally went to TB today to report on Mexican Pizza which I used to love.

Definite downgrade from what I remember. Taste was pretty meh and was not at all what I remember. Very meh item. Would not have again. 3/10

And I purposely went to the most reliable TB near me to insure highest possible quality.

Also, had a Bacon Club Calupa. It was ok but I thought the ranch dressing was too much. 6/10

Overall experience was meh, plus terrible value. $9.78 for two items plus drink. Oh well in a year I'll forget and try TB again.

your lawnmower is obviously flying after finding out you're the only person to actually sit down in a FF place, but its ok. do you really live 15 minutes from TB? i would never willingly drive that far just to get it, and I ****ing LOVE TB.

my go-to is to eat the most car friendly item on the way home (~2-3 min) and then crush the rest on the couch in from of the TV.

Target market is likely drunken frat parties, like the 10 taco box, etc they have.

Hot tip (no pun intended) - I keep a small insulated Igloo cooler in my car for stashing drive-through to make the drive home. Costco hot dogs are actually still warm in it when I get home.

It's otherwise known as game selection. LOL ghetto fast food for the masses.

Same time as US, 2006. Looks like that's no longer the case though

Live in the Northeast, never had an opportunity to go to a Chic Fil A until I was in Richmond VA last week. Oh wow, their reg and spicy chicken sandwiches, better than any chicken sandwiches McDs of Wendys is dishing out imo.

Was this in Canada? You can get the Mexican pizza meal with 2 taco supremes and a drink for $7 something, then get the bacon club chalupa for 2.50? and come out slightly ahead of the insanity you were talking with a lot more food.

But yeah, Mexican pizzas are a big ticket item.

I think Mexican pizzas are like $3.99 here. You've all seen my pictures, they're a joke at that price. One thing at TB I actually still like is the Meximelt, but I don't understand why it's like $2.59. It's smaller than a taco.

That's why I stick with the dollar stuff and the new things at TB. If it flops, you're not out much. Maybe never go over 3 bucks per item as a rule of thumb.

Despite my general hostility towards vegetarians (and especially vegans, the Scientologists of food), I really like the 7-layer burrito from Taco Bell, as long as it comes from a well-run franchise that doesn't hand out sloppy, poorly-folded burritos.

Just went to SS to get the chicken sandwich and they were out of them, said they won't get more until next week.

I might protest SS from now on on principle alone. You can't run a super hyped promotion and then run out.

Had the spicy chicken at Wendy's and a jr cheeseburger for lunch today. Final price 7.50

I live in the fast food wasteland of NYC so can't have chik fil a but enjoyed this chicken sandwich. Chicken was juicy and veggies were fresh.

Cheeseburger was horrible howver and feel slightly ripped off for the price. Lol NyC maybe?

JBC is a shell of it's former self per my last 2 or 3 experiences, can't imagine the JC being much better.

JBC = 1st ballot value menu HOFer, but they should take it off the menu out of respect at this point. It's hard to see it this way.

i think i just discovered the reason why there are differing opinions. i tend to get TB when i'm going somewhere else than home, and i'm starting to think that many people ITT are getting TB on their way home. obviously if you're getting food on your way home it makes more sense to just get home to eat what you got, but if you're getting TB on your way to somewhere else then it really doesn't matter if you eat it inside the 'restaurant' instead of in the car. it's almost always better to eat inside so that you don't drip fire sauce between the seats and have free drink refills easily available.

not sure, because i'm not a true philly fan, just a #2 Chip follower from the Oregon years, but i'm optimistic in thinking a healthy Sam will be >>>> Foles given the same circumstances.

very true and very sad. Like watching an aging Willie Mays stumble around centerfield for the Mets.
