    I don’t understand how taco bell survives in my city when I’m surrounded by dozens of real mexican restaurants and food trucks.

      Taco Bell doesn’t compete with mexican food, it competes with Jack in the Box and Taco Johns, perhaps anywhere that has a salad bar.

      Taco Bell isn’t Mexican food. It’s shitty American fast food with a Mexican slant.

      Edit: Downvote all you want but Taco Bell is to Mexican food like McDonalds is to a burger house. It’s low tier fast food.

        The elitism surrounding ground beef, cheese, beans, and tortillas is always amusing.

        I bet you also think less or more of people based on how they like their steak.

          Nope. But Taco Bell is definitely American style fast food. And it’s shit-tier quality. It’s delicious, but so is McDonalds and no one argues it’s quality food.

      Would you believe that it is the favorite “Mexican” restaurant in the country?
