BK said he needs to give up Taco Bell for a while. I never ate from there enough to have to say that (though I've said it about plenty of other places, trust me on that). Rather, it's been something I don't think to have more frequently than once every few years. It probably doesn't hurt that the closest ones are in slightly out of the way locations for us.
My best Taco Bell memories are, quite literally, my first times at one. I remember it clearly. I was living in my little Beverly Hills apartment near Wilshire and Robertson, and one evening I was out riding my bicycle, and I found myself in front of the Taco Bell that on Third Street -- or maybe it was Beverly Blvd., I've gotten confused on this before -- and I stopped to eat there. I knew it was a popular chain, but I'd never bothered to try it till then. It was cheap and tasty, and I liked it. How cheap, you ask? I'd have a taco, a burrito supreme, and a Coke, all for $1 American money.
So I'd drop by there occasionally while living in that area, but after that I don't recall going to one till years later when I'd drive to one on a lunch hour just for something different. The last time I stopped at one for the purpose of trying a couple of their things I'd seen advertised, I found those things so unworthy that I believe it's a place where one is better off sticking to the basics.
