If you want to know the burrito price, you open the app/website and look at the burrito price... you don't go to a "Taconomics" website comparing taco prices across a continent. As it stands, there are a number of uncontrolled variables that mean this is not an effective analysis of "How economical is your local Taco Bell?"

Maybe you just want to find the cheapest branch in a 10 mile radius.
Yah but if you want to click around on a neat lil web page this is great.

It’s hard to compare prices for 10 nearby Taco Bells in the Taco Bell app. This site makes it quite easy.
