On the same note: taco bell in the UK.

When they first started out you'd get these large cheesy meaty beany burritos and fajitas so stuffed with ingredients that your mouth would salivate when just thinking of the name.

Now? Flatbread wrapped around some sparse ingredients, freshly microwaved.... minimum order £15.

I'm a terrible/lazy cook, but even I could do better.

I must have missed the golden age. Taco Bell opened in my town in 2021, and I've only eaten in there a couple of times because it's dire. Small, scraggly little wraps with barely any filling (and the filling they do have is bland and crap; they don't seem to sell a single spicy item on the menu).

We're not exactly overwhelmed with Mexican restaurants, but even if I wanted a taco I still wouldn't bother.
