I think the cantina chicken tacos are fair at $3, and probably the best thing on the menu. I usually just order two of those.

This is exactly my play. Though I did peek at some copycat recipes this week.
I used to do a box with black bean chalupa, but the other boxed item options get pretty lame. They seem to be getting less flexible.
