Taco Bell Smothered Burrito

[Perknose]

TB is my favorite fast food. I go twice a month, tops. Going much more frequently would be both pathetic and unwise.

TB serves that really cheap/really fast/really convenient niche far better than, say, BK or a WaWa hot dog, ya know?

It's the best "I can't think or otherwise provide for myself and I don't want to spend more than 2-3 dollah" instant food substitute around. No, really, it IS!

Not sure where you live, but around here the local Mexican restaurants are like, way better than Taco Bell.

In taste, sure, I'm talking content of package. Taco Bell is no different, they just use different spices.

In this thread, people reveal that real Mexican restaurants have higher quality than fast food TB

Also, BMW is better than Kia

I bet most haven't even had real Mexican food. I've had authentic Quesdillas, they're made with tiny corn tortillas and have very little cheese. Needless to say "real" Mexican food isn't great. The stuff served at most Tacoqueria's isn't that close to what you get in Mexico.

A lot of my Mexican friends feel the same way about the "real Mexican" places that white people rave about that those same white people feel about Taco Bell.

Here's what I get locally for $7. Chicken and beef fajitas, grilled corn tortillas, grilled jalapeno and onions, with rice and or beans. They didn't have beans so I went with double rice. I had to split it up into lunch and dinner as it's too much for one sitting. So yeah I'd say a little different than Taco Bell.

You'd bet wrong then. When I know a place is authentic Mexican it's when no one in the whole place can speak a lick of English and you just point and make gestures at what you want.

There are tons of places around here where nobody speaks English, yet the food's not the same stuff I get when I venture across the border. I go to Mexico often, and as far as USA places, just because they can't speak English doesn't mean it's authentic food. It could just be sign of not being able to speak English. And that rice in your pic isn't authentic Spanish rice, not sure what the hell is it. Looks almost like fried rice from a Chinese place. Also Fajita's are Tex-Mex, which isn't Mexican food. I'm assuming that rice must be Tex Mex too. What you got in that box is no more Mexican than Taco Bell, sorry to burst your bubble.

Using your logic the Chinese place up the street must be authentic because they don't speak English, China sure has some delicious Orange Chicken.
