I eat at Taco Bell way too much, in Manhattan, and this is hogwash. I'm looking at the menu on my phone right now.
A cheesy bean and rice burrito (404 calories) is $1.49.
Not only are there no single items anywhere close to $12, there are seven combos (that include a drink) for under $12, and the most expensive ones are $13-14 (excluding group combos).
My typical order costs $8.48 with tax and includes two crunchy tacos, a beefy 5-layer burrito, cinnamon twists, and a medium drink.
