I'm done with Taco Bell

Help Support Ruger Forum:

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.
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.
 
Nope. Im the driver.

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.
 
Dosent always work, but thats what i order it as, and they dont often know from twelve, they think i want two, or five, is why i then try "i want a dozen". Some dont even comprehende, un doce, de el "del taco", por favor; dies, once, doce, si?
 
Occasionally I stop at Taco Bell but the best Mexican I have found in a long time (since leaving El Paso) was in Forest City NC. A place on Oak Steer named Don Ramon. Street tacos are truly 'street tacos' there.
 
Never 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?)

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 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.
I wonder why the Taco Bell drive through has cars when there are so many Mexican restaurants just a block or so away.

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 store
 
In SC we have a few Mexican restaurants that are very good and almost like the food in Mexico. I have been to Mexico many times where the locals eat and have a taste for that food when I go to a Mexican restaurant.
 
Just a heads up to those that haven't been to TB lately, they've re-introduced their Empanadas. Th deep fried caramel apple pie.
Very good when hot!
Meh, the next day.
 
I used to get 2 Burrito supremes and a diet drink for years. I got them because they were quick, cheap. Then a few years ago, they weren't quick any more. How long can it take to take the same five ingredients you put in everything else, together in a different way and throw it in a bag. Oh and you forgot the frigging $3 cup of colored water. Now they aren't even cheap. That order cost what I was paying for lobster diner 4 years ago. It takes FOREVER to get through the drive up and learn your order is wrong, and cold.

Probably a line cars filled with drunks depending on the time of day.....or not

dog-n-suds

One of my earliest memories of fast food....Dog-N Suds in Downers Grove Illinois......they brought the tray to your car window......late 60's.
