Taco Loco Super Bowl Special IS Super!
Last week Taco Loco Tweeted a Super Bowl Special I had to try. The special claims to feed 8 people, I found this claim to be false. I had six people to help polish this off, we weren’t even close. The leftovers fed all six of us again the next day and we still had food left over.! The price is $49.95, if you take the original claim it feeds 8 that’s only $6.24 a person!
