I like Mexican food quite a bit, we have several options near us that are quite good (not fast food) and we make tacos at home fairly often.  I get your point that there are few TB alternatives when it comes to fast "Mexican".  The last time I ate at TB I resolved never to dine there again except under duress.  It well could be they are as good as McDs, sort of a consistent mediocrity of OKness.

Fried chicken is messy to fix at home, air fried chicken isn't very good, to me.  But, if I want some here, I'll walk to a nonFF joint near us, particularly Mukja, the Korean place.  Mary Mac's Tea Room is pretty good too.  The only FF places near us are CFA, Panera, and Chipotle. 

There is a pretty good place in the food hall called "Pretty Little Tacos".

I forgot about Tin Lizzy's, it's OK.  Not our fav.

Yeah, as I've said before I almost never eat FF any more. It seems like prices have gotten insane, and to me the value isn't there. I'd rather pay more for something that's objectively better, or not eat it at all. We cook at home pretty much every night, and I can always scrounge up something around the house for lunch. 

For the most part FF is generally road trip food. And for obvious reasons, I'm not likely to hit up Taco Bell on a road trip...

My own fast food ranking, e.g., if I have a choice, I use this ranking.

1.  CFA
2.  Burger King
3.  Wendy's
4.  Bojangles
5.  Zaxby's
6.  McDs
7.  TB maybe, it's really at the bottom.

I really don't care for Burger King.  Goes to the bottom of my short list.
Wendy's would be my choice of your list.
I've not tried Bojangles or Zaxbys

We really only eat fast food when we're road tripping.  Or, late at night after a concert or something when we're hungry, don't want to scrounge in the fridge, and there's nothing else open.  

I don't really consider Taco Bell to be Mexican, I guess it's sort of Mexican-adjacent.  But it's fine for what it is.  I ate a lot of it in college because it was super cheap.  I could get two tacos and two burritos for $2.36 plus tax.  I guess it's still fairly cheap compared to what has happened to other fast food prices.  When a burger combo at a fast food joint approaches or exceeds $10, I'm definitely going to look elsewhere for a quick meal.

No, my phrasing could be misinterpreted, my apologies.

It was meant to read as "Now that burger combos at fast food joints approach or exceed $10..."

The Big Mac combo is around $9 and that's at the cheaper end of the spectrum.  

Yup, my standard order at the McDonald's drive-thru in France was:

Burger King is always dirty. I keep expecting to see a rat or cockroach scamper across the dining room.
