When your body is conditioned to expect whole foods
Uh, sir. This is 'Murica. Our diet consists purely of ground beef disks or ground mystery meat tubes with either red, white, or yellow squirts on top. Accompany that with a big-gulp sized glass of Coca-cola. Or, even better, an ice cold—I’m talking Rocky Mountain ice cold—beer. n now we’re talkin.
No idea why anyone would say that. A soft taco has like 2g of fiber. Here’s the menu. Feel free to click around and prove me wrong but nothing I saw on the best sellers list had more than like 5g and those are things meant to be shared

Are you from the US? Nothing from the best sellers menu is meant to be shared.
Whenever I go to Taco Bell, I usually eat a few different items from the menu. Just 1 soft taco is tiny. I might do a grilled cheese burrito (7g) and 2 doritos locos tacos (2 x 3g), total 13g. Or a mexican pizza (8g) and a chalupa (4g), total 12g. Or if I want to pretend to be healthy, I’ll get a cantina chicken bowl (10g).
Are both of these options terrible for me? Yes. Should I feel bad for eating portions that other countries consider are for two people? Probably! Am I waiting in a drive thru line right now? Absolutely!!
It’s low in fiber and greasy. When your body is conditioned to expect whole foods, stuff like that gets shot right back out.

Wait, another comment said it’s because it’s high in fibre. Seems like it’s a meme that nobody actually knows why, or even experiences it?

Compare that to when I go to McDonald’s, where a quarter pounder with cheese (or Royale With Cheese in France) just has 2g of fiber and that’s definitely one meal (still not meant to be shared). https://www.mcdonalds.com/us/en-us/product/quarter-pounder-with-cheese.html#accordion-c921f9207b-item-842cb18782
