Well, the tariffs have kicked in at Taco Bell!

Was going to order a couple of Burrito Supremes. That changed when I saw the prices. $6.00 a piece! Yikes, I used to get 2 for that price a month ago! I’m in southern Utah at a truck stop! Thanks Dumpster Donnie!

In maybe 1977,

Maybe in Los Gatos Calif,
Just off HWY-17

That Taco Bell was where I would go for a quick lunch,

It was extremely INEXPENSIVE yet filling.

Was never really good Mexican food, IT WAS AND I GUESS STILL IS…

Cheap Gringo fake-Mexican “food”

...food was cheap and maybe not the best, but being a poor student, sure beat ramen. The place was always full of seniors as well. Now, forget about it. Making my own damn bean burritos now.

Food falls under the USMCA, and is exempt from tariffs. Trump pulled back his threatened tariffs on anything that falls under that agreement.
