Do you consider Taco Bell to be Mexican food?

[KentaRawr!]

Personally, I don't. But what do you think?

[black orb]

>>> Well, tacos are from mexico..:luca:
Bells?

[Badge]

I honestly though Taco Bell was something that only existed in GTA games.... >_>

[Shattered Dreamer]

Calling Taco Bell Mexican Food is like calling McDonald's American food so eh no they are both fast food!

didn't fast food basically start in america

thus making it american food

but considering the origin of tacos i really don't know:confused:

[Momiji]

Not really.

[crazybayman]

How about "Mexican Style Fast Food".

Oh man! I've created a new food-genre! Hi-5

[Fonzie]

Do I consider it Mexican food? Not really I guess. Now, do I consider it cheap and quick food? Hell yes.

[Rye]

Taco Bell makes me feel ill! Mexican food makes me super happy! I love to make my own quesadillas!

Calling fast food "American food" is depressingly representative, actually.

However, putting a cheeseburger in a tortilla does not a make it Mexican.

[Raistlin]

It's fast food. A different type of fast food from McDonald's, sure, but still fast food.

Associating that meat sludge in those rubbery tortillas with cheeseburgers is an insult to burgerkind. :p

[Sephex]

Yes, but it just makes the cut. At least it actually tastes good (at least the items I get) in comparison to other fast food joints.

[rubah]

No, because it doesn't count as "food".

[Bunny]

It is Tex-Mex. And a disgusting representative of it.

[Miriel]

It's not "real" Mexican food, but that's ok. It's not like Panda Express or ANY other chain "Chinese" fast food place is real Chinese, but it's still good.

Hardshell tacos and tortilla chips weren't even invented in Mexico, they were invented in the United States, just like a lot of the items you'll find in a fast food Chinese place were invented or modified in the US to appeal to American tastes.

Real mexican food is probably one of the best types of food out there, but sometimes you just want to fill your tummy with incredibly processed and "I don't want to know what's inside" food. And there's nothing wrong with that.

[Shoeberto]

I would say it's food inspired by Mexican cuisine. But, yeah, it's not really fooling anyone.

Regardless, I had a $1.19 burrito from there last night and it was pretty much amaaaaaaaazing.

[Bastian]

I define it not as Mexican food, but as: delicious!

[Rase]

Sure, especially when made by illegals.

[nik0tine]

I don't even consider taco bell to be food at all.

[Shlup]

This.

[Del Murder]

I'd call it Tex-Mex aka American Mexican food. The tacos aren't real tacos though. For those you need to go to King Taco. :D

[Necronopticous]

King Taco.
Now we're talking.

[Del Murder]

When Miriel goes down to LA she buys literally 100 tacos from there because she misses it so much.

[Depression Moon]

Nio it's disgusting. Mexican food should come from a sit down resteraunt preferably made by Mexicans or at a local Mexica owned stand. Taco bell makes my stomach sick.

[I Took the Red Pill]

It's not like anyone considers Taco Bell authentic Mexican cuisine, but yeah not gonna lie a hardshelled taco for like $1 at Taco Bell is a cheap, damn good hunger-satisfier. If I'm in the right area though, it's all about Mighty Taco. It's like Taco Bell v2. Damn, or Chipotle. But none of these come close to toppling the undisputed world champion, authentic Mexican food. Oh man I want Mexican so bad now.

[Shauna]

I have never had a taco. Am I missing out on some awesome rubbish to fill my stomach with?

[Bunny]

Yes.

[Raistlin]

I have never had a taco.

I feel sorry for you.

[Jess]

I've also never had a taco.

I can't think of any Mexican fast food places around where I live in England... I've never seen one anywhere else in England, either.. but maybe they do exist!

There is a Mexican restaurant called Chimichanga's that I've been to, though, which was yummmmmy. :heart:

[Ouch!]

Fourth meal is fourth meal. No more, no less.

[Miriel]

Never had tacos!?

I had Tacos for breakfast lunch and dinner yesterday. It was glorious.

[Tavrobel]

Yes.

[Ramza Beoulve]

Here Taco Bell is seen as fast food, and mostly go because of the "promotions".

But, I live in México, luckily I don't need to go to Taco Bell to get something shaped as food.

[Shiny]

Taco Bell is not food to begin with -- it's a laxative.

[qwertysaur]

no

[Shauna]

I don't think there are any in Scotland either. Britain is missing out! :(

[Rye]

There's a place in England called "The Mission" that sells huge burritos, only a fiver! But that's the only place I've seen Mexican food - and I think it's only Reading and Oxford exclusive. I was super depressed when I went there by that fact.

[Shauna]

I've seen, and been to, a few Mexican restaurants, but I don't know if I have ever seen tacos on the menu. It has been a while!

[Christmas]

Any food that goes into my stomach eventually became fellow citizens of the same country. :bigsmile:

[Rye]

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I just had the best burrito ever from this new taco place! Yum yum yum yum. Hux said it was so spicy that his eyes watered just being near me eating it. Mmmm.

[NorthernChaosGod]

This, but for the topic, no.

I believe giant burritos come from the Mission, a Mexican neighborhood in San Francisco.
