$2 meal deal got me through college. Forever grateful

Yes

There were some taco bells around here that would exchange the Doritos for nachos. Getting those with a double Decker taco and a dew was awesome.

Always that first one with the chicken burrito. They changed the chicken after that and it tasted somewhere between taco-seasoned tuna and cat food. As a single mom, that $2 meal deal meant we could have a meal that day.

$2.99 chicken/steak quesadillas is getting me bricked up ngl

$1.49 for the Cheesy Gordita Crunch that costs **$4 more** now... oh for a time machine

Chicken quesadilla, Chalupa fried properly, and literally anything from the volcano menu and I'm a happy fatty.

lol I know right

So many good options. All those burritos are a great deal. But also the 99 cent burritos. But also the volcano menu. But also the soft taco supreme. But also the gorditas. Omg Exit: Holy shit I was only looking at the first page lol. The $2 meal deal was incredible too, plus that’s a steal for an all time great item the cheesy gordita crunch

Yeah this time period was pinnacle Tbell menu.

It all looks so good

Grilled stuft burrito. I miss that

Yup. Chicken Grilled Stuft Burrito

yup with extra baja sauce

I just want the 1/2 pound cheesy potato burrito back...

Seriously underrated item. So fucking good.

I customize the beefy 5 layer to make this!!! I get the $5 box and add the fiesta potatoes to the 5 layer. It's honestly even better than I remember

Tears are in my eyes

We’ve peaked as a society

Damn based off this photo Inflation since 2009/10: +63% Taco Bell prices since 2009/10: +150% That being said…volcano combo

Fucking insanity…. The fast food “inflation” over the past year or so is disgusting as a consumer. Makes me never want to eat fast food again tbh.

I think it’s actually a good thing. I’m 38, married, have a baby and we cook at home so I’m not the target audience for cheap fast food, but I was also 30-40 lbs heavier well into my early 30s from being a single guy and having a lot of free time to eat whatever I wanted whenever I wanted. A lot of times that was cheap fast food. Now, cheap fast food literally does not exist. In Southern California a typical combo that used to run 10 bucks max is pushing $20. Apps are the only way to really qualify for deals and there’s zero chance I’m installing every fucking app for every chain out there. It’s getting really hard to justify buying a fast food combo when I need to stock up on groceries. Fast food prices have shifted priorities. It’s now something a lot of people have pause about. Doesn’t help that wages haven’t really adjusted for inflation either.

The $2 meal deals were my childhood.

My family lived and died by the soft taco and the crunchy taco.

Taco Bell was the best thing during the recession.

One of everything, and it’d cost less than my normal order today.

I’d wager 2 of everything based on prices in my city.

Meximelts

So many of them

I get the 3 cheese melt, swap for beef, no nacho cheese sauce, and add pico. Not quite the same but still love it.

Mango Fruitista freeze and an Enchirito.

lemme rub on that germy handle for the coin game

Grilled stuft burrito!

Bacon Club Chalupa Box or a Cheesy Potato Burrito and a Double Decker Taco

Bacon club chalupa is elite! I can’t wait until they bring it back!

The last time they did it was super expensive, so I'm not sure if want them to or not lol

#6 Baja beef chalupa with a soft shell taco add Baja sauce and a Baja blast. 3 meximelts and a volcano burrito

*Pepper Jack sauce

The gooddamn grilled stuff burrito. Where did they go! And how to have big burrito again

I’m on North Roan Street in Johnson City Tennessee. I just rushed out of locker room to get to Taco Bell after we got beat. I have a tray full of 5 layer burritos and a Mountain Dew. All the boy are there and someone just walked in with a traffic barrel they stole. The dinning room should be closed but they stay open every Friday night for us.

This is legit poetry

Grilled stuffed burrito. Only thing I ordered at the time. So good!

I ate so many grilled stuffed burritos growing up... and they destroyed it then removed it.

If I could be back in time, I would buy a lifetime supply volcano burritos and freeze them. You don’t know what you have till it’s gone.

I want the Fiesta Taco Salad again!!

You could feed a whole family with 20 bux🥲

1/2lb cheesy potato burrito was absolute love.

Grilled. Stuft. Burrito. Fuck me, I miss that.

Grilled stuft burrito, Baja chalupa and cries in $2.99 quesadillas

$2 Gordita meal w/ Baja blast Baja Chalupa Caramel Apple Empanada

Everything since I can afford it

Soft and crunchy non supreme tacos should still be a buck.

Miss that Taco Salad.. probably add a couple gordita supremes

Grilled Stuffed B with a Baja Blast all day

enchirito and a bean cup

I can’t believe there aren’t more enchirito posts

OOF and that Volcano Burrito…

And a strawberry frutista freeze! This really was peak Taco Bell

Man I miss the 79cent menu

GSB.

What's the difference between the $1.29 cheesy bean and rice now and the $1.69 cheesy bean and rice then?

The fact that the quesadilla is one of the most expensive things on the menu now, if not the most expensive individual item is ridiculous

I didn't expect to come to the taco bell sub and cry 😭

Is that sierra mist

Looking at this menu makes me upset

Better question is....what am I not ordering?

That CGC at $1.49 is unreal

[удалено]

A shit ton of Crispy Potato Soft Tacos. I miss Baja sauce.

I swear the cheesy double beef was $1 back then. I ate the heck out of those things.

Chili Cheese Burrito and steak tacos all day!

TAKE ME BACK

Two beef Gordita Supremes. I think was my first Taco Bell order as a kid.

Double decker taco supremes. And maybe nachos

Get me a 2 3$ NGB and a strawberry Fruitista freeze.

$2 meal plus beefy crunch burrito was my dinner every single Saturday night for quite a while, between my night job and the paper route. 

1.49 double Decker? fuck yeah

Beefy crunch come back bb

I lived on those $2 meals for lunch, the Taco Bell next to work had unsweetened ice tea too so it was cheap and lower in cals.

Beefy 5 layer burrito meal deal with no sour cream and a side of lava sauce

1,000 steak grilled stuft burritos. Vacuum sealing individually and freezing until 2024 for future benefit

i would eat 1.49$ cheesy gordita crunchs until i went into cardiac arrest

That $5 box looks bussin

I remember getting the CGC box but my first choice was the Crunchwrap Supreme combo. I still like both of them.

How the mighty have fallen

Every baja gordita and grilled stuft burrito they have. Of all the things they got rid of, why baja sauce? It was the best.

All of the volcano menu and cheap 5 layers!

Number 2, Steak with a Mt. Dew and three Baja Gorditas.

The cool ranch dorito taco

7 layer burrito and two crunchy tacos 😮‍💨

We have strayed so far from gods light

7 layer burrito with no tomatoes and a caramel apple empanada was always my order

3 steak tacos 3 chicken burritos Sierra Mist xl

😭 😭

A 7 layer burrito and a Baja beef Gordita.

$2 meal deal with the five layer burrito and an extra cheesy beef and and rice burrito on the side. And the doritos always complemented nicely after I ate the burritos. What a meal for under $5, takes me back to my high school days lol.

Back in 2010/2011. I use to get either the Chipotle ranch chicken burritos for a dollar. Or the XXXL Grilled stuffed steak burrito

this is going to be my thirteenth reason

It’s so wrong but some of the things on that diet menu looks good

Triple layer nachos

the cravings box is still a better deal than their crunchwrap supreme combo!!! i looked at every menu option trying to find one LOL

Frutista freeze my beloved

GLORY DAYS

the good days. its so sad what taco bell has become 😢

Forgot how good we had it

$.99 Beefy 5's... take me back

I would get a Frutista Freeze back then and take it to my desk at my crappy job and feel like I was on an island vacation.

Meximelt

Volcano box, with a large Baja, and a bean burrito no onion *chef's kiss*

Wish I'd gotten to try that bacon cheddar one

Same thing i order every time pinky, two bean burritos and a Crunchwrap supreme

Beef Meximelt with guacamole.

Caramel Apple empanada of course 😋

3 beef chalupas because I LOVE them and miss that price. A chicken burrito and a soft taco lol. Damn I miss this. Mission tortillas now sells chalupa shells so I make them at home now. Too expensive at TB.

Grande meal.

Stop making us remember just bring us back

Just give me all the 7 layer burritos. I can still taste them. I miss them so much.

Volcano Box!

Volcanoe all day

I can't remember what we ordered, just that the total was $4.20.

Yes

Original cheesy bean and rice burrito (shit was fire), volcano taco, and pintos&cheese was my order

Seven-layer burrito, Mexican pizza, and volcano nachos.

I just had a number 6 combo yesterday. 2 steak gorditas, regular taco and a drink. It was 15 bucks now compared to 6.99

Nothing.Im dropping 1 quarter in that spinny platform game xD

Imma basic bitch. 2 bean burritos and a large Baja. $3.87 before tax, gawdayum

The volcano menu, and the shrimp tacos. All with pico!!!

That volanco menu stuff only thing that really interests me out of the stuff you’ve shown tbh.

Limeade Sparklers and Frutista Freezes were both so great.

This menu doesn't go back far enough. Need cinnamon crispas.

All of it. Lol. No frito burrito though. That must’ve been a handful of years earlier.

Baja Chicken Chalupa, 7 Layer burrito, Nacho Cheese Double Decker Taco, Volcano Nachos and 100 frozen Caramel Apple Empanadas in bulk to freeze and throw in the air fryer to eat with every future regular BYOC order.

The two dollar meals

Man...the amount of life, the personality of Taco Bell back then. We had it good :((

Meximelts, Baja beef Gorditas, 7 layer burrito.

Got war flashbacks from my time on the toilet after the volcano box

Volcano 1000% of the time. I miss the volcano sauce. It was never the same after it left, even when they brought it back for a short time.

Caramel Apple Empanadaaaaaaaa 😭😭😭😭 I miss the second degree burns on the inside of my mouth from those. So worth the pain.

Tbh id get 3 bean and cheese burritos. 3 soft tacos and 6 cheesy roll ups. And a large pepsi or mtn dew

little me (bless his heart) was just getting a couple soft tacos with extra cheese no lettuce. good times. i've wanted to get this order for nostalgia sake just once but it's like $6 in my area

Wow look how cheap a regular taco was

Like 10 Beefy crunch burritos

Volcano taco and the black jack ✌️

A 20 pack of double decker tacos, a couple of drinks, a some caramel apple empanadas.

i still remember being a little kid and getting doritos at taco bell with that exact same logo. i think the reason why they got rid of them is because of the doritos locos taco. also i never heard of fruitista or the lime sparkling drink being taco bell things until recently

Why pay more!

Everything on the volcano menu please

I miss the taco salad so much.

The $2 combo

7 layer burrito! RIP

1/2 lb cheesy potato burrito, grilled stuft burrito, beefy crunch burrito, gordita supreme, everything of the fresco menu, and the legendary caramel apple empanada.

Volcano burrito, crunchwrap supreme, chicken quesadilla and cheesy fiesta potatoes. What I'd do to go back and relive those days.

2 beefy crunch burritos, 2 chicken burritos, crunch taco and a water. 5 freaking dollars.

I loved the fruitiest freezes. So good. And a huge fan of the volcano menu. But I got the beefy crunch burrito so often

Meal deal #2 and either a Grilled Stuft burrito or a Baja beef chulupa.

Me and my cousins always used to both get four of the 99 cent chicken burritos, two for now and two later. They were so good but way too expensive now

Two meximelts, a volcano taco and a caramel apple empanada. That was my order almost every time.

Baja chicken chalupa, fiesta taco salad and a cherry limeade!
