Taco Bell
Various locations/Various hours (late-night drive-thru at some locations)
All hail the $1.19 7-Layer Burrito, the most well-balanced, one-handed meal fast food has to offer. Beans, rice, lettuce, tomato, cheese, sour cream, and guacamole make up this hearty burrito, and even if it's not up to the standards of San Francisco's Mission District, it should hold you over quite nicely. Be sure to add some "Fire" taco sauce for extra flavor. Taco Bell's so-so Cinnamon Twists are an Americanized nod to the traditional Mexican churro. Personally, though, I wish they'd bring back the excellent Cinnamon Crispas of yore.
