    I think it’s from anecdotes about eating large amounts of Taco Bell-grade beef after late nights out when one’s “gastrointestinal integrity” would be suspect regardless. Edit: In 2008, Taco Bell had a “Why Pay More?” menu that featured $0.79-0.99 items. If you’re paying 99 cents for chili con carne or a 5-layer burrito at 2 am you’re rolling some dice.

    Home-cooked or restaurant Mexican food, on the other hand, is tied with Vietnamese for my favorite cuisines ever.
