1. Find a real mexican place
the 4 dollars more you spend on a real burrito will be more than worth it

2. A visit to Taco Bell in itself, is empetus to avoid it for several months.
Until we again forget.

3. Taco Bell is owned by Pepsi. That's enough to avoid it right there.

6. Their beans are good.
And they don't use lard like so many Mexican restaurants do. Their refried beans taste better to me than the greasy, lard-laden beans served in so many authentic Mexican food restaurants. The "pintos and cheese" they sell is just a cup of the beans, with sauce and cheese on top. I know, I'll be considered a heretic for posting this. But they do get the beans right. So sue me.

14. get a bean tostada with onions or regular crispy tacos (also with onions)
and the "mild" salsa (not because it is mild, but because it has better flavor) - not that bad. Or unhealthy. Yes cheese is pretty plasticky, but niether of those items has much anyway. Is that filling beef? not sure.:shrug: :rofl:possibly from South America, if so.

29. I like 'em, too.
Edited on Wed Sep-05-07 05:31 PM by gmoney
The cheesy bean and rice burrito for 99 cents is a fast food miracle.

And its far less likely to disagree with me than Bob Evans or OG or other places where I'd spend 3 or 4 times as much time and money.

22. I like 'em. I mean, for the price.
If I want gourmet, I'll go to Olive Garden.

What is it about liberals and hate? I used to tell people I was a liberal because I couldn't hate enough to be a conservative. I'm starting to wonder about that. DUers seem to love to hate stuff more than Republicans, even. Truly a waste of life.

27. Because the staff there has a penchant for arseing up your order?
Edited on Wed Sep-05-07 05:25 PM by JonathanChance
The Taco Bell on Division Street in Stevens Point was notorious for that. It was mostly the Drive thgrou that would screw up your order, but once in a while the people in the restaraunt would screw up, as well.

Besides, taco Bell is only good When you are drunk off your ass.

The hierarchy of Drunk Food goes like this

1. Spicy currys, the spicier, the better.

2. Gyros/Doener kebabs

3. Chicago style hot dogs.

4. Cheese Fries/Topperstix

5. Pizza

6. Fast food Burgers

7. Taco Bell

8. Fried Chicken
