You are right about that. I remember in the early 1960s, the family would go to a Mexican restaurant in Polk Street Gulch. I cannot remember the name of it. It was fantastic. They made Chalupas in a way I have never had since. I wish recall the name! California, Texas, Arizona, and New Mexico all have fine places in keeping with our heritage of Mexican and Spanish territory.One of the few good things about living in San Francisco is the number of really good Mexican restaurants and fast food places. Bull's-Eye has it right.
Nope. Im the driver.I like it occasionally...But my primary gripe with Taco Bell anymore is that for just a couple bucks extra, I can enjoy some REAL Mexican food at a REAL Mexican restaurant. And, wash it down with a nice cold beer!

I agree on the spice overload. But then again, I think the proliferation of IPA beers that taste like PineSol in a glass have ruined beer too.Something about the way they taste, havent tb'd in years. Had three favourite taco time establishments (dad called 'm joints) but two went out on their own and the last, was my favourite, the manager would see me come in and say something to one of the crew and i would get burritos or tacos fatter than any other tt, but they eventually went away, shortly after he did. Now for me its deltaco (and only a select few of those) with a coupon, but usually only on tacko tuesday where i get a bagful for the rest of the week. Anglo or not, i often need several attempts to explain to the voice what is a dozen tacos!
And the restaurants are more into spice overload and frown on No Salsa, please. The stuff wipes out my taste buds, and i cant tell chalk from cheese.
Knotty pine barrels instead of oak?I agree on the spice overload. But then again, I think the proliferation of IPA beers that taste like PineSol in a glass have ruined beer too.
I wonder why the Taco Bell drive through has cars when there are so many Mexican restaurants just a block or so away.I actually used to like the food from Taco Bell, especially the "Taco Salad" which they no longer offer. But last night, after not eating anything from Taco Bell for several years, I gave in and bought their advertised $7 basket of various items (tacos, burrito, chips and cheese and more). It wasn't bad, but not as good as I had remembered. But today I am paying the price for eating that food. Maybe my system just doesnt work as well as it used to, but I am convinced that there is no more Taco Bell in my future.
Had a lifetime collection of them, as well as doggie diner, dog-n-suds, mug, bulldog, frogstop, and others, but in an ocd fit of organisation i committed a generosity and sent them to a thriff storeNever had Taco Bell and not interested. I would rather make my Mexican food home made.
The only fast food I have now is A&W's Double Cheese Hamburger with onions and mushrooms plus a mug of root beer. (Did you know their mugs are for sale?)
Some people refuse to cater to unhealthy street food; "theyre unregulated and couldnt pass an inspection, mama said so!"I wonder why the Taco Bell drive through has cars when there are so many Mexican restaurants just a block or so away.
