I will always look back with fondness at the place they held in my childhood. \nYes, their food has changed flavor over the decades, but I honestly believe that's because of the beef industry. Yes it may have a weird flavor from time to time, but it actually has lettuce, tomatoes so it can't be all bad.\nAnd even though we all joke about it giving us percussive diarrhea, I can honestly say I've never once had any intestinal distress from their food. \nIn summation: let's end the war on tacos.\nThank you.", ">\n\nMaturing is telling yourself you have food at home.", ">\n\n“Too much to choose from”.

I can go to Mexico right now and say al pastor tacos arnt authentic because cows and pigs arnt native to America plus the technique is from the middle east. You could say cheese dishes arnt authetic as well. People in Mexico dont give a shit about you gate keeping their food. People get burritos in Mexico with nacho cheese, hot cheetos and French fries.

Sure, if you make it at home, it's better, but there is a compelling argument to be made that, taking the time to go to the store, gather the ingredients, prepare the ingredients, cook everything right enough to where it tastes comparable to Taco Bell or better is just sometimes too much when you're incredibly hungry. Let's say you're on your way home from work at 11pm T-Bell at least has your back. You're not gonna cook for yourself after 12 hours of work... I'm not.

Only by gaining wisdom and maturity did I realize that wasn’t so.", ">\n\nWe have Taco Bell stores opening up in the UK. I understand UK fast food can never compare to American fast food, so maybe my opinion is worthless anyway.\nHowever, when I look at the menu at Taco Bell, it never seems to \"scratch\" that fast food \"itch\".

It is.", ">\n\nThe Mexican Pizza is my drunk self’s guilty pleasure!", ">\n\nNo one goes to tacobell expecting top quality foods.", ">\n\nTaco Bell is the cheapest fast food. From a health perspective… it’s a better option that McDonald’s/Hardees/BK etc. it’s consistently decent.", ">\n\nFor me it's the chicken quesadillas 95% of the time and then just a few soft tacos that other 5%. I'm a picky eater. The cinnamon twists slap too.", ">\n\nWhen you crave it and they make it real good, it's delicious.\nMexican Pizza is delicious sometimes.", ">\n\nWhile I do not care, its truly a your stomach your choice situation.

It's good fast food.", ">\n\nDamn now I want some taco bell", ">\n\nWoah woah woah. We ALL KNOW Taco Bell is horrible. We get it cause it’s cheap, convenient, and tastes good.

That being said I think something changed around 1998 that pushed their mediocrity into the realm that I think they're so gross I won't even accept it when it's free. I'd honestly rather go hungry.

Let's say you're on your way home from work at 11pm T-Bell at least has your back. You're not gonna cook for yourself after 12 hours of work... I'm not. If you do, I commend you.", ">\n\nMost people I know who go to Taco Bell know what they want before even getting there so \"menu too big\" doesn't seem like an issue\nand although I don't go there often, whenever I have gone there and gotten something it has always been decent (its fast food so I don't expect it to be amazing) so idk where this \"toe nail clippings and sawdust\" is coming from", ">\n\nI was ready to agree until I read your first reason. That is seriously a you problem.", ">\n\nThe first issue….is a YOU problem. Don’t blame TB for having variety.", ">\n\nActual maturity is recognizing that absolutely nobody but you cares about your personal preference in food, and thus not making a big deal out of it if others choose to enjoy something from a place you personally view to be terrible.\nAs for Taco Bell, their nacho cheese sauce is still the gold standard I compare all fast food nacho cheese sauce to, and that is the only positive thing I can say about their food. It's mediocre even by fast food Tex-Mex standards; from 2000 to about 2012 or so, Del Taco was flat out superior in terms of flavor and quality (they've taken a massive downward spiral since then, however).", ">\n\nYou don't go to Taco Bell because it's good. You go because you have $10 and clinical depression.", ">\n\nMaturing is seeing the price of a crunchy taco go from 79¢ to $1.69", ">\n\nMaturing is accepting that Taco Bell is actually pretty decent once in a blue moon.", ">\n\nNo I actually maturing is realizing you can eat whatever the fuck you want. But that doesn't necessarily mean you should eat it all the fucking time.\nYou remind me of my buddy who is in his fifties, and calls people childish over ordering their burgers with things like no ketchup or mustard.", ">\n\nWHAT \nIf you’d said Arby’s, Red Lobster, Lucy’s, public buffets, Panda Express, or even Fast Food in general we’d be on the same page. But if a boy arrives home with a soft taco and cheesy gordida crunch for me I’ll reward that behavior. 😆", ">\n\nmaturing is when you stop eating fast food all together.", ">", ">\n\nnobody argues that taco bell is gourmet. you eat it when you're trashed, shit your pants, and then carry on with your life.", ">\n\nIt is SOOOO GOOOOD you're right!! I love a chicken quesarito, an order of chip and cheese, a cheesy rice burrito, and two soft tacos extra sour cream!!!!!!!!!", ">\n\nIt's fast food. It's not even a real restaurant.", ">\n\nYes of course, because in highschool I totally thought Taco Bell was a 5 star restaurant. Only by gaining wisdom and maturity did I realize that wasn’t so.", ">\n\nWe have Taco Bell stores opening up in the UK. I understand UK fast food can never compare to American fast food, so maybe my opinion is worthless anyway.\nHowever, when I look at the menu at Taco Bell, it never seems to \"scratch\" that fast food \"itch\". I can't find anything that appeals to my hunger for eating fast food, so I just go elsewhere", ">\n\n* giggles in stubborn Dutch neanderthal *", ">\n\nDid OP just admit to eating toe nail clippings?", ">\n\nMan when you get off work at 2 am and don't wanna cook, Taco Bell had your back", ">\n\nTheir cheese quesadillas are delicious, so I disagree.", ">\n\nHey the spicy potato taco is baller, and taco bell is \"authentic American food\" in Mexico", ">\n\nThen I become very immature on long road trips", ">\n\nThey won the fast food wars of 2013?", ">\n\nTaco Bell is better than McDonald’s or Wendy’s but about ties with Burger King", ">\n\n\nthe menu has way too much to choose from\n\nIt's literally all the same food in different shapes", ">\n\nAll of their food is the same thing lmao", ">\n\nI also don't like taco bell, but if people like it, doesn't make the immature", ">\n\nFast food is generally bad low quality, but quick and addictively tasty. Taco Bell isn't good food by any stretch and I don't think anyone actually thinks it is. It's about what you expect from an Americanized fast food fake Mexican food. It's tasty and I eat it from time to time all the while knowing I'm putting shit in my body.", ">\n\nWeird, didn’t have lunch but headed home early and said “a bean burrito sounds good” and now I’m 100% getting one. \nMaturing is realizing you can choose what you like and others can choose what they like.", ">\n\nI have no idea what toenail clippings taste like so I suppose I can't refute that.", ">\n\nIDK, it's cheap and tastes good. I think I'm gonna have to get a Grilled Cheese Burrito now for dinner, thanks!", ">\n\nIt’s fast food mate.", ">\n\nAnd when you go try it after a year away it’s still just as bad.", ">\n\nTaco Bell fucks, and does so with spicy purpose. What, are you eating at Burger King?", ">\n\nBeen maybe once and never plan on going again", ">\n\nI would never say Taco Bell is the worst. At least as far as fast food is concerned, realizing that McDonalds is horrible would be the \"goodbye to childhood\" moment to me. \nStill like their fries though :P", ">\n\nAye. It is.", ">\n\nThe Mexican Pizza is my drunk self’s guilty pleasure!", ">\n\nNo one goes to tacobell expecting top quality foods.", ">\n\nTaco Bell is the cheapest fast food. From a health perspective… it’s a better option that McDonald’s/Hardees/BK etc. it’s consistently decent.", ">\n\nFor me it's the chicken quesadillas 95% of the time and then just a few soft tacos that other 5%. I'm a picky eater. The cinnamon twists slap too.", ">\n\nWhen you crave it and they make it real good, it's delicious.\nMexican Pizza is delicious sometimes.", ">\n\nWhile I do not care, its truly a your stomach your choice situation.

I only used to order the vegetarian items. I will say though I haven’t had any since I was pregnant five years ago and it triggered terrible nausea.

She throws the food out the window at you, drinks and all. Better be ready to catch. My kids think it’s hilarious.", ">\n\nIf you like basically ANY other fast food, then this isn't maturing. It's just having your tastes change. Plenty of people love Taco Bell. All of my Mexican friends love it even though they say it's not authentic Mexican food. It's good fast food.", ">\n\nDamn now I want some taco bell", ">\n\nWoah woah woah. We ALL KNOW Taco Bell is horrible. We get it cause it’s cheap, convenient, and tastes good. It’s the same 6 or 7 ingredients thrown together across 20 different menu options. Yes it’s horrible, but so is meth and people are still out there doing it", ">\n\nguess I was one mature kid", ">\n\nBut they won the Franchise Wars. You gots no choice but Taco Bell", ">\n\nI agree, a lot of the food at taco bell is pretty terrible, but there are a few things that are pretty tasty, it hits the spot every once in a while", ">\n\nI don't get it at all. I have never, not once, had a meal I enjoyed at Taco Bell. Maybe I'm ordering the wrong things but everything simply seems tiny and unappetizing. Like at least if I get a double big mac I know I'm going to enjoy eating this terrible food. Taco Bell feels like eating calories with 0 enjoyment.", ">\n\nI still eat it anyways.", ">\n\nwhy did i read this as \"masturbating as taco bell is horrible\"", ">\n\nI wouldn't hang someone's maturity on their opinion of Taco Bell. That being said I think something changed around 1998 that pushed their mediocrity into the realm that I think they're so gross I won't even accept it when it's free. I'd honestly rather go hungry. Plus as broke as I generally am, If I'm going to splurge on fast food it 100% won't be Taco Bell.", ">\n\nFuck you I'll never grow up, take my upvote!", ">\n\nYour title sucks ass.\nTaco Bell’s menu is wild to me. There’s so much to choose from yet everything tastes the same. \nTaco Bell exists because it’s fast food that people have grown accustomed to.", ">\n\nIt's one of the cheapest places to eat and is healthier than most fast food places, just make sure you go during busy times so you dont get old food, TB is peak when fresh", ">\n\nI also puke from the smell of it sooo", ">\n\nI can get a vegetarian bean bowl with like 1,000 calories in it for around $7. It’s tasty and it’s my go to when I’m getting off a section of the AT or coming back from rock climbing. It’s just far easier to find a Taco Bell for vegetarian food than any other option in many small towns.", ">\n\nMaturing is realizing u should be grateful for the food u have", ">\n\nThere’s too much stuff on the menu is such a horrible argument that I can’t tell if you’re just saying it to rile people up", ">\n\n“Why does Taco Bell exist” bc it’s good lmao", ">\n\nYou had me in the first half… lost me on the 2nd", ">\n\nterrible opinion", ">\n\nwtf i love taco bell and will fight you", ">\n\nI enjoy the flavors of nail clippings and sawdust", ">\n\nCould agree more. \nI just had one open in my town in England so I thought \"cool I love tacos\" and went in, only to be horribly disappointed.

Most of them taste good when you look at how easy and cheap they are, however.", ">\n\nDepending on where. It's pretty damn good in Japan compared to America.", ">\n\nThat red sauce they put on those taco pizzas literally taste like vodka vomit", ">\n\nHow are you relating maturing to what kind of food you should like?", ">\n\nNot just Taco Bell. \nAll fast food is garbage.", ">\n\na small menu - bad \na big menu - bad \nbe glad that you can even complain about these silly things", ">\n\nIf you're going to taco bell you've already messed it up, you get high and get an absurd amount of stuff delivered.", ">\n\nI tried it for the first time a couple months ago to see what the fuss was about as they just opened a store where I live. Still don’t get it.", ">\n\nIf you care this much about the quality of some stupid fast food chain, then you have issues.", ">\n\nThe truly mature opinion is being indifferent to whether or not someone else enjoys Taco Bell.", ">\n\nMan you're eating some delicious toe nails and saw dust. If the chefs at taco bell can make those ingredients taste like this they deserve a medal!", ">\n\nBruh .....I don't even like fast food but I will fuck up some Taco Bell.", ">\n\n>the meat there is the lowest quality meat you can buy\nDoesn't matter if you're a vegetarian or flexetarian.\nIf so, then Taco bell is the best fast food in the business.", ">\n\nTheir meat tastes like horse these days.", ">\n\nI’ve always been a huge Taco Bell fan, but I just had this realization a couple days ago. It’s very sad to not like the taste of it anymore.", ">\n\nGlad I’ve never had it then", ">\n\nMaturing is realizing that your personal opinion on what people should or should not like to eat means absolutely nothing.", ">\n\nI feel so sad for you", ">\n\nI feel like theres no point in debating the quality of fast food places since they vary so much from store to store. Some sell decent food, some legit sell you garbage and dont care. Also wrong taco bell is one of the best fast food places to eat when youre drunk or stoned.", ">\n\nthe thing is, this is just a normal opinion had by half of everyone.", ">\n\ni thought taco bell was okay when i was younger but now i just like their slushies but even then sometimes they’re so sugary and sweet i feel like i’m just drinking straight up syrup ☹️", ">\n\nChipotle is op's liiiiife", ">\n\nIt’s just kinda eh", ">\n\nIf you’re mature you realize almost all fast food is completely terrible.", ">\n\nYou are telling me that you don't like a steak crunch wrap supreme? I call Bullshit.", ">\n\nIt is what it is. You are what you eat. Any more cliches", ">\n\nNo maturing is realizing when to use capital letters.", ">\n\nIdk how liking taco bell has anything to do with maturity, but my grown adult ass loves a taco bell stop on occasion lmfao", ">\n\nI love a good burrito after the gym. It may not be the best quality but it's quite good.", ">\n\neveryone defending their right to eat taco bell is hilarious. no, you're not mature for allowing yourself to eat trash food. and giving yourself a hangover in the first place is opposite of mature.", ">\n\nThe taste is good but it’s low protein and high calorie, which basically guarantees stomach fat gain.", ">\n\nTaco Bell is pretty dead. There are only 3 left in my city. Compared to over 10 Taco Times & Mucho Burritos (which are much better!)", ">\n\nYeah never get meat at taco bell, thats your first problem. Black beans all the way. Also the cheesy potato soft tacos are the best thing on the menu.", ">\n\nI guess I matured like 20 years ago.", ">\n\nYea agreed, Taco Bell is nasty 🤮. I bet you their meat isn’t even real meat.", ">\n\nRubio’s Mexican Grill is a better Taco Bell. Wish they would own all Taco Bells.", ">\n\nTaco Bell killed my grandmother. She got cancer from her shitty diet and just continued to eat it. Looking back on it I think I would do the same.", ">\n\nGrowing up is ordering the sauce from Taco Bell and cooking for yourself. \nOrder a side of their creamy jalapeno sauce. Go make your own quesadilla and dip it in that shit. You're welcome.", ">\n\nAbsolutely. Why would I pay for an unfulfilling, unhealthy, and non delicious meal to get diarrhea? Never understood", ">\n\nTaco bell has it's purpose. Eventually you learn that purpose is neither lunch nor dinner.", ">\n\nNo. Maturing is realizing that Taco Bell probably shouldn’t legally pass as food, but enjoying it anyways.", ">\n\nNot a fan at all either, though I'm really not a fan of fast food in general anymore these days. Not very good food, and it upsets my stomach.\nThat \"meat\" is so disgusting. 🤮 It looks like the contents of a soiled diaper, and tastes horrible as well. \nA great local family-owned restaurant in my community had their building sold to a developer and had to close, and it was demolished for a freaking Taco Bell. 🙄 I'm still mad about it!", ">\n\nPretty much all of my dress shirts from my 20s and early 30s share the same characteristic.
