    I'm down to eat it. I knew I forget something to eat this week. ;)

    Shrimp Taco and Beefy 5-layer burrito.

    Stevenp and I both tried it independently last week. We both seemed to enjoy it--at least "kind of." And I must add that mine did NOT have detectable cilantro. I thought it was well executed considering it's from TacoBell (corner of 28th and MAdison). It defintley was pricey, but I have no regrets...

  3. CheeeeEEEEse

    Goats, what the hell does 'pricy' at TB mean? Also, does regrets equal applicable time on the toilet?

    I am a big fan of taco bell, but their offering of shellfish scares the living hell out of me.

    4.02 with tax. Admittedly, it is kind of small. i felt fine after. No problems at all.

    4.02 for one? That is pricey!

    Cascabel on the UES sells 2 shrimp tacos for $7.50 and its at least a million times better than taco bell crap.

    I'm still curious about the TB shrimp taco but 4.02 is high for a puny shrimped taco.

    Homeless guy in photo is classic.

    TB is more of a "physical challenge" than anything else. Are you man enough to eat a Taco Bell Shrimp taco Steve? Or is your delicate palate only suited for Cascabel? Yeah, I went there LOL!

    i am man enough not to eat taco bell anymore, same reason i don't eat dominos/papa john's/etc. chains suck

    I still eat chain foods. Dominos/ Papa John's are still ordered. I'm not a food snob at all.

    If it tastes good and probably won't get sick, I'm in. I would go back to TB for their nachos alone. Heck, I'll see if I'm in the mood to swing by today...Liberty Cafe/ Taco Bell on 50-51 & 3rd

    I am a pizza snob and i eat domino's on occasion. Always a hangover purchase though...

    it's one thing if you live in east jabib and don't have many options, but there is so much good food in nyc that can be had for cheap, that chains aren't necessary.

    although, every time i visit nyc i stop for the best slice around at sbarro.
