In 2014 I could get 3 tacos and a can of Diet Coke for $5 in East Palo Alto. These were real tacos made with real meat. I think Taco Bell in the same zip code and time frame would probably charge ~$3 for a fountain drink, and the tacos would be... barely edible. I think tacos and a coke will set you back ~$12 in most taquerias these days, but yeah, it's way better quality than any fast food chain.
