Do you consider Taco Bell to be Mexican food?

[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]

How about "Mexican Style Fast Food".

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

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.

[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.
