I had the misfortune of eating at TBell earlier. It was starting to snow and I didn't feel like cooking anything so I stopped in. It was awful as usual, but they had a new Mountain Dew called Sangrita Blast that was really good. I wish I had another one to dump a bunch of vodka into.

Definitely and Taco Tuesday was a God send sometimes.

There's a Taco John's near me that is somehow even worse than Taco Bell. Taco Bueno is where it's at for bastardized mexican fast food.

Qdoba is better imo but is slow as mollasses, god bless it they need to get their stuff together. We have a Qdoba near us, but we have a new Mexican place just as near, so I have completely stopped going to Qdoba.
Chipotle's burrito bowls are a staple of my diet right now. Double up on the chicken and you can get an insane amount of protein (like 80 grams) for around 700 calories, and it will leave you more than full. I love that place. I do wish KC had Qdoba. Mexican food is lacking in Olathe (I need to check around for good places closer to KC), but there's a couple of decent places. There's actually a not-bad place across the street from me on the corner from the grocery store. Only went there once but they have dirt-cheap specials that give you plenty of food; I got, I think, three tacos, rice, refried beans and a soda for around $5. I should frequent them more because every place that leases that spot ends up going belly-up. In the time I've lived here it's been a pizza place, a Chinese place, and something else before its current residents moved in.
I'm team qdoba right now but I just had this burrito bowl from chipotle and it very well could be a game changer.
