1. In recent years, their taco meat tastes strange to me--

I don't know if it's the fillers or what, but ...

I'll still eat a bean burrito there now and then...

[kalli007]

6. Yes their "meat" is quite strange.

Now that I think about it, wasn't there quite a scandal recently involving them calling it beef? As in, it's not so don't?!!!

[LishaD35]

13. Yep

It never tasted quite as strange as the day that I ordered it after reading their sign entitled "Of course it's beef".

It went on to state that it was 88% beef, but they were quite vague on what the other 12% was.

2. are you close to a bathroom?

[kalli007]

4. I'm in the bathroom

[mysuzuki2]

24. And there shall ye remain!

at least for the forseeable future. Taco Bell has that effect on me too. Sometimes I get a taste for it too even knowing how it will end..

[nobodyspecial]

3. Why do you feel the need to punish yourself?

[kalli007]

5. Well

I punished my liver all weekend and my colon was feeling left out.

[hibbing]

23. hahahahhaahha

Hey,
Excellent response, thanks for the big time laugh!!

Peace

[KamaAina]

7. Do you have a low-flow toilet, or an old-fashioned one?

[kalli007]

10. Outhouse

[kwassa]

8. Was Lady Gaga there?

maybe the 25 pounds ....

[kalli007]

15. If she was I'm sure she would have

Covered herself in taco meat.

[Trajan]

9. Wont eat the 'spicy mush' ...

We are done with Taco Bell ....

[kalli007]

12. It is pretty bad

But I had a strange craving for it.

[Paulie]

11. What did you have?

And what did you want to get but didn't this time?

[kalli007]

14. Had 2 steak "chalupas"

Or what passes for a chalupa at Taco Bell. Considered the nachos bell grande.

[riderinthestorm]

16. I only get their $1 bean burrito. Its the only fast food I buy if I'm on the road, hungry,

and can't find anything else. I actually like it but have never strayed into the other parts of the menu so I haven't ever had any gastro issues with that.

[kalli007]

17. The beef mexi melt used to be a dollar

As well. The good ol days.

[OffWithTheirHeads]

18. I'm sorry.

[kalli007]

19. Not as sorry as my gastrointestinal tract!

[Kali]

20. I actually like their crunchy tacos (add onions)

and their "mild" sauce tastes better than their hotter ones.

I never order any of the "fancy" stuff anymore, burned by bleh tasting mush too many times in the past.



oh an (Repo Man reference) PLATE OF SHRIMP on your username!!!

[kalli007]

26. I had a crunchy taco too

Came with the meal deal. Although, by the time I ate it was not so crunchy.

[OriginalGeek]

45. I once had a crunchy burrito at Taco Bell

I didn't order crunch.



Haven't been able to go back since.



I was glad they opened up a Del Taco near me - after over a decade of TB being the only fast food Mexican around, we finally got a Del Taco. Now i'm tired of that too.


In my youth I worked for a pizza place that was a few doors down from a Taco Bell - we would often trade a pizza for some Taco Bell - one pie for bags and bags of food...we always laughed at them thinking we beat them in the deal but now I wonder...they probably could have doubled their items and still not been close to just our cheese cost for one large pizza....

[riderinthestorm]

36. Honestly, the Mexicans I have working for me aren't Taco Bell averse

While we have a LOT of authentic Mexican in our area, I know that in a pinch my guys will go for the bean burritos at Taco Bell.

[Kali]

38. they cross in droves to shop at Safeway and the IGA in Douglas

then hit the McDs. Of course white bread and mayo are popular too so there is that.

[riderinthestorm]

42. LOL! Yeah, I can't tell you how many times they show up for work with a bag of potato chips and Coke

for BREAKFAST!

[Ikonoklast]

21. Did you lose a bet or something?

Or is masochism a hobby?

[kalli007]

28. I must be immersed

In self loathing and destructive behavior.

[Ikonoklast]

29. Don't be too hard on yourself, it's a phase that will come to an end sooner or later.

Find yourself a good family-owned Mexican restaurant and give them your business.

[kalli007]

31. Oh I do that quite often!

What this area lacks is an independent fast food style Mexican place. My hometown had an awesome one, Pepe Tacos. It was real food, as opposed to what I consumed today.

[Ikonoklast]

33. Every Tuesday when I'm in town, my gang meets at the local family-owned Mexican restaurant.

My kids and their SO's, my granddaughter, the 'rents, a few from my regular group of friends, guys I've known for fifty years now, a few different other faces who randomly show up...usually about ten, twelve, fifteen of us, every Tuesday.

The people that are there on a regular basis warn the new guys not to order too much, even if they are really hungry, because they give you so much food it's silly.

And I've never had a bad meal, or bad service there once. Their food is how I measure all other Mexican restaurants, it is simple, fresh, and delicious.

I keep telling them that they need to bottle their salsa and start to market it as a premium product sold at a premium price. That stuff they make is awesome.

[JI7]

22. i wish they would put green onions on the nacho supreme again

[kalli007]

27. The one here puts them

On the nachos bell grande sometimes. It's a crapshoot.

[madinmaryland]

25. Thank god, DU does not have smell-o-vision!!

[randr]

30. I do not intend to promote Taco bell, however,

they have the only lard free food at a fast food window. Tortillas and beans without lard. That counts for something, especially when I am on the road.

[riderinthestorm]

37. Yup. When I'm on the road and need something reliable with fast food, its a TB bean burrito

Interestingly, my local TB bean burrito is still $1. But its more expensive at other locations. I've got a pretty heavily hispanic population around here so I wonder if they're trying to match local restaurant prices.

[Denninmi]

32. Did you know they can tear down a Taco Bell and rebuild it entirely from the ground up in 5 weeks.

They did that here, tore it down around August 1st, and it reopened about Sept 10th.

Pretty amazing if you ask me. A lot of it was "prefab" I believe.

[TreasonousBastard]

34. You realize they fill those tacos, burritos, and things from something called a "Meat Hose"....

and knowing that should make it taste better, no?

The last time I gagged at one I made the mistake of asking the difference between a "beef" taco and a "steak" taco besides the 75 cents.

Taco Bell is one of the few fast food joints I now refuse to eat at even if starvation is an issue because I really don't trust their ingredients.

[kalli007]

35. Meat Hose!

Oh the possibilities are endless.......

[Incitatus]

39. Were you drunk or stoned?

[kalli007]

40. Hungover

nt

[MrMickeysMom]

41. How many times did you "run for the border"?

[HopeHoops]

43. Have the shits kicked in yet?

[GreenTea]

44. Do the really use roach legs in their salsa.

[kalli007]

51. I ordered mine

Sans crunch.

[Initech]

46. And you lived to tell about it?

[kalli007]

50. The jury's

Still out.....

[Iggo]

47. Pffft.

[mykpart]

48. Did you happen to notice

any pink slime?

[kalli007]

49. On the way

In or out?

[mykpart]

52. TMI!

[darkangel218]

53. I LIVE on taco hell.

And I'm still alive

So far.
