Taco Bell aint even considered real Mexican Tacos.. they are Americanized to the fullest.

You want real tacos? Well, they don't come in hard shell/flour tortillas compadres.

Looks hard to fold & eat w/o causing a mess. But I'd kill to have the chance!

Soft tacos, yes!

And your point? Taco Bell is decent fast food; doesn't really matter if it is "authentic" or Americanized.

And I loved those commercials. I have a taco bell chihuahua stuff animal in my office. If you sqeeze it, it says "yo quiero taco bell."

And your point?

Hmm I guess you have never enjoyed some real Tacos.. when you do you will see my point..

I'd recommend u go to Chipotle's .. they have some there called Barbacoa tacos

No, I have had plenty of authentic mexican food. But the thread is about a dog that died.

"Authentic" Mexican food can vary widely on the region of the Southwest or even the country... "Tex Mex" is way different than what we have here a scant 150 miles from the border and Northern NM and Colorado Mexican food has more of a Spanish influence and is different than either... I haven't been to California since I was a kid but I imagine it is much different that what we have here...

When I read the post title, I had visions of the taco bell dog killing the Geico gecko, then taking his own life. Thanks for getting my hopes up.

Most SatelliteGuys realize this fact. Besides, we all know that real Mexican Tacos are made with real Chihuahua.:lick

Sorry, but I just couldn't resist.

Absolutely! Personally, the best "authentic" Mexican cuisine I ever had came from the Mojave region; a close very 2nd would be a restaurant we found in Colorado Springs (same quality as when we vacationed in the Gulf of California region); we cannot stand TexMex which we found to be extremely popular when we moved to Dallas. It's all a matter of personal preference.

When we were in Japan, and after a little saki, we convinced one of our new arrivals that he was eating monkey on a stick when, if fact, it was a chicken basted in soy sauce. Too funny!

You wouldn't think that if you lived in Buffalo. You've never had a taco until you've had a Mighty Taco (local fast food chain). Taco Bells are few and far between for that reason.

I don't care for Taco Bell - the food isn't that great.
