Taco Bell Fans Stunned By ‘Crazy Price Increase’ at Certain Locations

Taco Bell fans aren't happy with the fast food chain after one person shared how much their location has raised the prices on some fan-favorite food items.

A customer recently took to Reddit to talk about the "crazy price increase," sharing that their "go to item," the Cheesy Gordita Crunch, was priced at $6.99, while the Doritos Cheesy Gordita Crunch - Nacho Cheese, was selling for $7.29.

"Does this seem insane to anyone else??" asked the fast food fan. "This is no longer a cheap/affordable simple meal when i’m more strapped for cash. are any other taco bells increasing prices like crazy in this way?"

In the comments, the user shared that they lived in NYC, and that the pricing was for pickup, while the prices were slightly lower for delivery. Taco Bell prices can vary depending on the specific location, and the two items are listed on the website—without a location specified—as $5.19 and $5.69, respectively.

Many fans related to this customer's dilemma, with a top-up-voted comment reading, "These were insanely priced at $5. This is just idiotic. At some point you have to just stop buying them."

"How are they selling anything at these prices?" questioned someone else, as another declared, "Ouch! I wouldn’t even consider getting those at that price point. $5 is already too expensive. But $7+?! That’s a hard pass!!"

Plenty of other fans felt the same, with replies like, "TACO BELL STOP THIS MADNESS PLEASE," "It’s gouging at this point," and "That’s absolutely insane for one taco."

More called the pricing "absurd" and "highway robbery at this point."

Despite the tough menu prices, Taco Bell has drawn customers in with a number of interesting menu items these days. The popular food joint recently added the Disha Hot sauce, while it's bringing back the fan-favorite Caramel Apple Empanada for a limited time. Over the summer, it even made Mountain Dew Baja Blast Gelato.
