    This could have been a mom and pop local food shop, but instead it is a taco bell.

    It’s sad, but I also like taco bell a lot so at least its not a burger king

      If it weren’t a chain it’d probably have become some pricy fine dining spot. As a Taco Bell, tons of people get to enjoy it every day. I used to pass by there all the time, and usually stopped in to enjoy the view (and stuff my face). Plus their outdoor bathroom is hella convenient.

        That’s true ! It’s nice to have food options in expensive areas that are actually affordable

      I would imagine that there’s plenty of land for someone to build mom and pop food shops as well if the demand exists for that too.

      Idk…I used to love Taco Bell when I was younger. Buy the past several years I’m finding it to just be not as satisfying as other fast food places. Not sure what it is exactly. I guess maybe that it’s generally not too much money and effort to get higher quality quick service tex mex (chipotle, tiajuana flats, etc). I actually used to rag on Burger King too…and while their service is shit I actually think their burgers are pretty decent. No idea why they don’t salt their fries tho it drives me bonkers.

        I actually really like the impossible whopper, but it feels like the attention to making the food is terrible! I don’t know of any burger king that makes decent food anymore. All McDonald’s are quite the same , but not burger king.

        I usually make myself cheesy tortillas at home, so whatever I get at taco bell usually emulates that VS something overdone and too expensive like Chipotle

        Man I remember when burger king fries were delicious. That was years ago
