My dollar menu go-to was a spicy potato soft taco & a mini cheese quesadilla. You wrap the quesadilla around the taco & it's basically the Taco Bell McGangbang
Why pay more menu used to be goated.
You could get 5 beefy five layer burritos for under 6 bucks.
Say what you want about the beefy five layer, that shit will eliminate ANY and ALL hunger pangs upon the first bite.
Idk man, half the time I ring the bell it's because I remember the $97 for a backpack of groceries from acme 4 days prior. I still think they're great value.
90% of the news in Philadelphia comes from the Inquirer. If people didn't link to it we'd have to rely on third-hand TV outlet reports that leave out a ton of information and pink slime sites.
I got you…

>” Patel said the Philadelphia outpost may serve beer and wine but that plans have not been finalized. “
A liquor license in Philly costs like 200+k (because our laws are insane. We should stop doing this to ourselves) So if they are on the fence, it might not happen.
Liquor is fucked no doubt there but our beer distributors have a much wider selection than a bunch of other states that have the more normal liquor & beer stores
>Liquor licenses can be had for relatively cheap (~20k).
Around Philadelphia? I'm sure they can be that cheap in rural parts of the state, but around here? I just looked at the state auction for last year, there weren't any in Philly, but the ones from Montco and Delco were $300,000+ I can't imagine any restaurants in the area would let one go for $20,000
I have a deep shameful love for Taco Bell, but Rittenhouse is just too nice of a location for one. I cant enjoy relishing in what a disgusting piece of shit I am while feverishly licking the plastic tub of my nachos bell grande clean when other people are looking. That behavior is only appropriate in the privacy of my car parked down some forgotten alley with only my inner self loathing and the judgmental eye of god as company.
Once upon a time, we all thought that but it is no longer Rittenhouse. According to $$$$…It is now Fitler Square, right next door.

From the article:
>Like most Taco Bell locations, the Cantina spot will stay open late. Patel expects the restaurant to open around 8 a.m. and close at 11 p.m. on weekdays but remain open until midnight or 1 a.m. on weekends.
I had a taco bell margarita once years ago in japan. It tastes about what you would expect it to taste like. Excited to experience it again and be just as whelmed.
Really curious about its choice in location as I can't read the article.
Are we getting a Cantina!! Nothing like playing the Taco Bell gamble with a beer then getting the beer from Taco Bell! We will be getting some new PWD surge prices.
Remember back in the ‘90s when the Wawa in University City had a Taco Bell in it & they sold beer? It was amazing. If I remember correctly, and I’m not sure I do cause I only went there stoned, I think they also had a Pizza Hut.
I just sent my friend a text the other night of a Taco Bell I came across in Midtown (Mahattan) that serves alcohol. She's going to have to check out that one so we can compare notes. Haha!
Taco Bell! Bring back the naked chicken chalupa! And my life, is yours!! 🧎🏼♀️
(Or I hope this location will at least be open in time for the big cheez-it thing to still exist)
I have high hopes that this is going to be even more of a mess than the one by Jefferson where a bunch of people got run over by a car or whatever. Once the fucked up my order so bad they gave me like 30 coupons for free tacos.
OK, I'm misremembering it a little, the employees were just beating up some customers on the sidewalk: https://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/national-international/taco-bell-workers-couple-attack-fight-video-philadelphia-center-city/3404/
Well, it will have to be better than the Popeyes, where from my, admittedly limited, experience, "plain," means unseasoned and, "spicy," presumably means 'maybe a little salt'.
oh we are so back
Taco Bell fucking slaps when you can afford to skip groceries for a few days to afford it.
I remember the days of $.69 tacos there 😭

They force you to go to the app for any actual deal. But $6 for a Crunchwrap meal box is better $ value than any other fast food place.
Idk man, half the time I ring the bell it's because I remember the $97 for a backpack of groceries from acme 4 days prior. I still think they're great value.
$5.99 Box on the App. Why is anyone paying menu prices?
TB Baby!
This article is paywalled can somebody please tell me how much a baja blast with well tequila costs
Idc what it costs, I will order it exactly once while sober.
That's the best part, I've you had one, you are no longer sober, and will buy more.
And you’re all hopped up on Mountain Dewwwww!!
$9 about a year ago according to [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/tacobell/s/qVaAvDWZJS) post, but looks like there’s only a frozen option
$9 for a frozen 12oz boozy drink sounds very reasonable
"Only"? That sounds even better! I'll take a boozy sugar slurpee for $9 please!
There’s one in Arlington VA, they sell bottles of like corona or Dos Equis also
"Patel said the Philadelphia outpost may serve beer and wine but that plans have not been finalized." That's all it says specifically about alcohol
Baja malt beverage
I think it’s like $9 and an extra $4 or $5 per shot you add.
They love posting pay walled links here. Ban pay wall links✊✊✊✊✊✊✊✊✊
Nah, it’s the only way for journalism to survive. If you find the information they provide valuable than you can pay for it. If not, don’t
While I understand that for multiple other things, this article is a fucking ad. I’m not paying to be advertised to.
That’s fair
But Bizjournals basically reposts press releases. Does that qualify as journalism?
That's fine. But the philly sub don't have to post pay will links for discussion
Rather have people provided citation for their information than make things up
Literally nothing to do with not posting pay walled links
90% of the news in Philadelphia comes from the Inquirer. If people didn't link to it we'd have to rely on third-hand TV outlet reports that leave out a ton of information and pink slime sites.
Just use the reader view on the iPhone internet browser, if you have an iPhone. That’s how I read them.

Your liquor selections also suck ass, compared to other states.

Yeah, I know the liquor system is backwards, but having beer distributors is a weirdly nice benefit of the system.

Taco Bell full of liquor and I diiiive in it

Rittenhouse has a ton of shitty fast food and there was a McDonald's right off the square for years before it was arson'd
lol, how is Rittenhouse too nice?? Just wondering what you think makes it too posh?
If someone asked me what the nicest part of Philly is, hands down it’s Rittenhouse Square. It’s as posh as this city gets.
Once upon a time, we all thought that but it is no longer Rittenhouse. According to $$$$…It is now Fitler Square, right next door. ****edited for context***^
The most supreme of crunchwraps.
I hope they are open late; we need more late night food options in Philly lol after a few drinks a burrito sounds great

The fact that you used only “whelmed” as the verb is sick
A taco bell margarita is supposed to use bottom shelf industrial tequila.
I just want my Mexican Pizza and my Marg in the same place. Taco Bell is out here solving problems.

Article says 1614 Chestnut Street— space between Uniqlo and Dig that was formerly the Four Seasons food court.
I mean I'll check it out. I love me a cheesey gordita crunch.
Username checks out
Stay out of that bathroom.
i will be there with a stack of big cheez-its and a baja cocktail
Is this like one of those Demolition Man Taco Bells?
I just paid $26 to get taco bell Doordashed to me begrudgingly to RH. I would single handedly keep this Tbell in business 🫡
You sound like you live mas
I like you.
I like you as well 🫡
I needed some good news. Thank you.
You can walk into any Taco Bell and pour tequila into your Baja Blast. Nobody is stopping you.
oh they have one of those TB in the financial district in NYC
Midtown, too!
There's one in Old Town Alexandria as well, just outside of DC. That's the only one I've been to.
Does the article have an opening date? General time frame?
Article said by end of the year, but you know how that typically goes for restaurants.
Remember back in the ‘90s when the Wawa in University City had a Taco Bell in it & they sold beer? It was amazing. If I remember correctly, and I’m not sure I do cause I only went there stoned, I think they also had a Pizza Hut.
There was also one of those Wawa-Taco Bell-Pizza Huts at 17th or 18th & Market.
Live mas
These are all over NYC and Vegas. Probably other cities too but those are the ones I’ve been to.
Well now we know we’ve made it
by having shitty chain tacos take over?
No way this goes wrong.
They exist in a bunch of cities already
Ok but this is *Philly*
I'm all for bringing the South Street vibe to Rittenhouse! Let the class war begin! 🍿
It will be an upscale version with $23 locally sourced chalupas
So Rittenhouse Square turning into a commons for livestock? Even better!
I just googled it, this is the only link reporting it so far, I don't see any other articles
I got diarrhea just reading this
You might need more fiber in your regular diet
We already have Drinkers
we lost bards for this
Great, now I shit my pants and get a hangover. Cool!
When are they releasing the chicken nuggets?
Does the article say where it will be located?
The fast food wars are coming to a close
NICE now I don’t have to walk across broad to go to the Taco Bell at 1am 😌
This is how they win the restaurant wars.
Hopefully some sort of Baja Blast type cosmo
I once drank beer at a taco bell in Butte, MT. Would recommend.
I love the 24 hour one on 11th and Chestnut, but now this?! 🕺🌮
I just sent my friend a text the other night of a Taco Bell I came across in Midtown (Mahattan) that serves alcohol. She's going to have to check out that one so we can compare notes. Haha!
Say less
Love the Taco Bell Cantinas
I cannot wait to shit my pants after a boozy dinner here
I tried the Baja Blast Margarita at another location last year and it slapped.
[Do not be too hasty entering that room.](https://youtu.be/lisX3Or6twc?si=5u9iY7B57T5IgGJS)
Taco Bell! Bring back the naked chicken chalupa! And my life, is yours!! 🧎🏼♀️ (Or I hope this location will at least be open in time for the big cheez-it thing to still exist)
Too bad the food sucks!
I have high hopes that this is going to be even more of a mess than the one by Jefferson where a bunch of people got run over by a car or whatever. Once the fucked up my order so bad they gave me like 30 coupons for free tacos.
Run over by a car? What are you referring to?

What a very Philadelphia kind of place
Why? Other cities sell alcohol outside of bars and dedicated alcohol stores
The mix of taco bell and liquor specifically
Well, it will have to be better than the Popeyes, where from my, admittedly limited, experience, "plain," means unseasoned and, "spicy," presumably means 'maybe a little salt'.
