Its because Taco Bell food is, as compared to a decent hole in the wall, or mexican food truck:
Higher in sodium.
Higher in carbohydrates.
Higher in saturated fat.
Good chance the tortilla/taco shell is also higher in corn syrup.
Also, good chance the hole in the wall uses a more varied selection of vegetables/peppers/pico de gallo, which augment flavor (and mouthfeel) without a high calorie sauce.
You seem to have missed the point of my comment... I refuse to directly compare Taco Bell to actual Mexican food.
I was explaining why you likely consider them to have different taste profiles and thus think of them as incomparable, having cravings or desires for them in seperate mental categories.
There are similar differences between say, a McDonalds burger and fries, and burgers and fries from a local grill or pub or what not.
(Though, with burgers and fries, the fastfood versions generally still are generally cheaper, though that gap is closing fast in the US rn)
