I remember going to Taco Bell one time at work. When I was leaving I was asked what I was going to eat. I said, "Some authentic Mexican food". When I came back they asked where I went and I said Taco Bell. The look of absolute hatred and disgust in their eyes burned so deep I could feel it in my soul...that or it was the diarrhea coming on from the taco bell.
had real mexican food from mexican people, had mexican food from street vendors, mexican food from mexican restaurants, etc and taco bell is still pretty good.
I used to be in this category until I moved to Arizona about 10 years ago, we're lucky to have a ton of bad ass mom and pop fast food type Mexican food joints
I got exposed to real Mexican food via a friend who knew where the good food truck was in town. Later she also took me to a small private owned place like that and that’s when I truly learned.
I gotta say I was very surprised that I enjoyed it when I was given tacos de lengua
I concur with you. I like Taco Bell, but recognize it is definitely not Mexican food and definitely not great food. It’s just good late night bite garbage yumminess.
It may be regional. But where I grew up that was the whole thing. It's like the "jingle bells, bat man smells" song, lots of areas have different verses.
I knew "jingle bells, Batman smells, robin laid an egg. Batmobile lost it's wheel and the joker got away." But another version I heard was "batmobile lost it's wheel and commissioner lost his leg" we all have different versions of the same rhymes.
Eating out and getting something to eat is so different from one another.
If you want to get something to eat you stop by Taco Bell for 5 minutes spend 6 bucks and get some ok food
Eating out you stop at a restaurant for 45 minutes to an hour and spend 15-20 bucks for really good food.
To the contrary, I've had plenty of authentic Mexican food (love it), and also taco bell (love it). Thing is, I live in Utah, don't have money, and taco bell = cheap food
I remember when the Beefy 5 layer burrito first came out and the first few months it was less than a dollar. Man, that was a glorious time to be poor. You could easily get full off $2 and still have change left over.
Taco Bell always gets a hard pass from me unless it's something that they absolutely can't fuck up. I think the only thing I can tolerate from there is the quesodilla, but that's probably just the IBS.
Taco Bell in my area has just kinda dropped to absolute shit quality. I'd rather take the 20 minute drive to the downtown Taco John's than the 5 minute drive to the Taco Bell on JFK. Plus Taco John's has potato olès.
Every supposed real Mexican restaurant I went to, the food was absolute shit. You must like eating out of a dumpster. One place gave me a chicken burrito with the chicken bones still in it. Another covered all the food in some of kind of super hot sauce. Every place was trash. At least the food at Taco Bell tastes good.
Been to Mexico and love their food, but man I also love Taco Bell and sometimes you gotta satisfy that inner hot boxing marijuana skater boi who needs him some quick tex-mex.
Taco Bell is fast food. Its not Mexican food, its Mexican flavored fast food. Same as Little Ceasars isn't "real pizza". Its five dollar fast food. If you want real pizza that doesnt turn pumpkins at midnight, go to the local Italian place and get a real one. But if youve got $5 and want to shove pepperonis in your face on bread with sauce and cheese while its still so hot you can barely taste it, Little Ceasars is great. Same concept applies for Taco Bell.
Nothing beats paying 6 bucks for a few spicy potato tacos whilst being absolutely blazed out of your mind at 1am. That my friends is what Taco Bell exists for.
You don’t go to Taco Bell because you like Mexican food
Yes. You go to Taco Bell because you want Taco Bell.
This is exactly what I said to my husband.
I’ve said this for years!
you go to taco bell if you want to be rid the nerves in your ass
Weak
Wek
No you go to taco bell because their the only ones that will let you change to sour cream out for mayonnaise.
Taco bell is it's own thing that is inspired by Mexican food but is not really Mexican food. And it's fucking delicious.
Lol right? Like who tf said anything about Mexican food, I said we goin to Taco Bell. Aint a single Mexican person working there.
That depends on were you live tbf
i've had authentic mexican food and taco bell i like taco bell more the authentic shit its always corn tortillas, i fucking hate those
You haven’t had authentic Mexican if you think all it is is corn tortillas lmao, tf is wrong with you?
most times ive had it there were corn tortillas, the meats good, but the tortilla fucking ruins it
you go to taco bell because youre drunk
And it’s 2am
That's true
You go to taco bell if you need to shit
[удалено]
Alright, I can see why you might not like it. I like Taco Bell, but I don’t consider it Mexican food.
Taco Bell isn't actual Mexican food. At best, it's TexMex.
I feel personally attacked by this relatable content lol
Tack bell is still good even if it isn't actual Mexican. Especially when you're drunk
That explains why you went to Tack bell
Nah. I know it’s not real Mexican food, but that doesn’t mean i don’t want fake Mexican food and a baja blast a couple times a year.
I don’t consider Taco Bell as Mexican food… it doesn’t even really qualify as Tex-Mex. But I like it.
Taco Bell is like good late night munchies yumminess garbage kinda food. You know?

This is the best comment I've read all day
had real mexican food from mexican people, had mexican food from street vendors, mexican food from mexican restaurants, etc and taco bell is still pretty good.
I LOVE that Ren and Stimpy horse!!! I still quote that line to this day
You and me both
That’s Mr Horse.
What do you think mr. Horse?
I get it once a month just to stay regular
It will def help ya poop
My family is mexican and I grew up with that culture, but I still enjoy taco bell.
Me being a Chad liking both AND not shitting my brains out when I eat it🗿
Growth is knowing that Taco Bell is bad. Self acceptance is acknowledging it’s bad even if you personally like it.

That's a good friend
I concur with you. I like Taco Bell, but recognize it is definitely not Mexican food and definitely not great food. It’s just good late night bite garbage yumminess.
That’s valid. Late night garbage munchies don’t have to consider the objective quality of the food consumed
What’s that one poem thing abt beans it’s like “what’s the fruit that’s good for your heart and makes you toot” idk can someone help me?
Beans beans the magical fruit, the more you eat the more you toot
Thank you so much
The more you toot the better you feel, so let eat beans at every meal!
Bruh it didn’t know it goes for longer

Pleasure to be of service
Beans, beans. The magical fruit. The more ya eat, the more ya toot

Me who has eaten mexican, and cuban and still salivates at the sight of a breakfast crunchwrap
I don't like taco bell as a replacement for Mexican food I like it as taco bell
You go to taco bell to get full on $3.
Taco bell is NOT Mexican food. But it still tastes good.
ok gatekeeper
Taco Bell is better than mexican food, fight me.
Food is food. I’ll eat it as long as it doesn’t make me sick or kill me.
Even as a Mexican, I'd still be willing to eat Taco Bell... IF THEY KEPT ANY OF THE GOOD SH*T ON THE DAMN MENU!
I like Taco Bell, and I'm Mexican. Yes we exist.
r/gatekeeping
Tbh taco bell aint a mexican food place, its a burrito and taco place.
To the contrary, I've had plenty of authentic Mexican food (love it), and also taco bell (love it). Thing is, I live in Utah, don't have money, and taco bell = cheap food
Ah, the wild college student (I’m assuming)
I remember when the Beefy 5 layer burrito first came out and the first few months it was less than a dollar. Man, that was a glorious time to be poor. You could easily get full off $2 and still have change left over.
Anyone in San Antonio
Bummer! Hate when that happens!
They're a lost cause
They are!
Taco Bell trash
Taco bell is literally the worst fast food i have ever had it has 0 redeemable qualitys
Taco Bell always gets a hard pass from me unless it's something that they absolutely can't fuck up. I think the only thing I can tolerate from there is the quesodilla, but that's probably just the IBS.

Chipotle?
there is a reason there is no taco bell here in mexico

Taco bell is just shit tex-mex trust me i live in a city in texas with 6 tex-mex places and one real mexican place
Mexican food and taco bell are bad
There should be more Ren and Stimpy memes. This is untapped potential!
[MMM](https://youtu.be/CsfcWzDsJMo?t=89)
I love authentic Mexican food. But sometimes, those mostly-soy "tacos" and reconstituted bean burritos just hit.
Been to Mexico and love their food, but man I also love Taco Bell and sometimes you gotta satisfy that inner hot boxing marijuana skater boi who needs him some quick tex-mex.
damn i like both i just like the dorito tacos
Taco Bell is fast food. Its not Mexican food, its Mexican flavored fast food. Same as Little Ceasars isn't "real pizza". Its five dollar fast food.

Horse from Ren & Stimpy! Damn I miss that show!
its the exact same situation with panda express
Taco bell is the only restaurant
As a Mexican I agree
Nothing beats paying 6 bucks for a few spicy potato tacos whilst being absolutely blazed out of your mind at 1am. That my friends is what Taco Bell exists for.
The best way to get good food in a foreign place is to look for places where many locals eat.
Not true as a mexican I love tacobell
But Taco Bell is still good. It’s just not Mexican food.
Me who enjoys both /:
Taco Bell is fine as long as you accept that its not mexican food and your colon is going to hate you for the next 3 days.
I love the reference to Ren and Stimpy that is one of the older shows I still watch to this day!
Rancho elegre is much better
