With interest rates high, student loan repayments back and elevated prices of consumer goods, many Americans are pulling back on spending. But not at Taco Bell.

With interest rates high, student loan repayments back and elevated prices of consumer goods, many Americans are pulling back on spending. But not at Taco Bell.

 

The fast food chain, which has long emphasized its cheap eats, said that unlike some of its competitors, it’s been seeing growth across all income levels as customers flock to its value deals and trade down from pricier options.

 

In the US, Taco Bell is seeing 2-3% growth in the number of orders “across all income levels,” said David Gibbs, CEO of Taco Bell’s parent company Yum Brands, during an analyst call Wednesday discussing the company’s third quarter financial results. Yum Brands also owns KFC, Pizza Hut and the Habit Burger Grill.

 

“So our stores in lower-income trade areas are performing well … just like our stores in high-income trade areas,” he said. Sales at Taco Bell’s US stores open at least a year jumped 8% in the third quarter, year over year.

I hit up a McDonald's the other day, a small fry and a McDouble without a drink was fucking six dollars and change, eat my actual ass. Taco Bell has stayed lower cost compared to a lot of other chains, it's not surprising at all that they'll clean up.

I want my $0.69 tacos back.

I’ve cut back big time on Taco Bell. Their prices are noticeably higher in my area. I love the food but it’s not always worth it.

They got my order wrong.

I wish I actually liked Taco Bell. I didn't hate what I got from there when I tried out a few of their menu items. I thought the grilled cheese steak burrito was pretty good and very filling for the value, but I just never really went back. When it comes to fast food, I'm mostly interested in types of fried chicken and pizza.

I’m guessing your order is three spicy potato tacos, a bean and cheese burrito, and a sugar free Baja Blast.

Is Taco Bell meat essentially the only meat you eat at this point?

There's no meat in these burritos.

So the only difference is the lettuce and sour cream or do you modify them in other ways?

Burrito supreme is what I always get at Taco bell.

No modification at all.

I remember the first time getting drunk and going to Taco bell after the club. It was heavenly and will forever be in my heart. 

 

I haven't had it over 3 years.
