Everything is more expensive where I am but local mexican restaurants have stayed the most reasonable (more so than chains). Chain-wise I think subway is still pretty affordable.

It’s cheaper to go to our local Mexican place than to Taco Bell. My wife gets the two chalupa combo. And to switch from chicken to ground beef, the combo is $13. Her standing #4 at the Mexican place is $8.75.

When Taco Bell was advertised the $5 box, all the local ones had it at $5.99. Now it’s $8.99. There’s one Taco Bell about 20 miles away that actually does follow the advertised prices. But it’s not worth driving that far.

Almost all of the taco bells near me still have the $6 box, and when I've traveled the majority on the road still have it too. I'm guessing all the ones near you have a shared owner who's raised the price.

Don’t know about the same owner. But I know they are all franchises. Closest one is a major college town.
