Flat tacos are good. I usually eat the soft one to avoid a mess or give up and make a salad. Sadly, I don't have a good taco restaurant near me so it's an effort to have them.

Sort:  

I have a Taco Bell within a 5 minute walk. Not my favorite Mexican restaurant, (my favorite is a family-owned restaurant about 12 miles from home), but I do love their tostada, and the bean burritos make for a satisfying lunch once a week maybe. :) I don't like to eat much fast food though.

Taco Bell gets a lot of hate, but compared to similar priced places, they are good. The closest one to me is a 20min drive which is good because if it was anycloser I'd be there too often.

I have a decent texmex chain place about 10min away that just opened and a great family owned place around 1hr away. They just aren't as common here.

I avoid eating Taco Bell's meats. A friend I used to work with told me that he once saw a case of the ground beef they used when that was the only meat they served, and its grade was really low - so low that it was marked "Not intended for human consumption."

I don't know if it's true or not, but I never thought of him as dishonest and never caught him being dishonest in anything else. I just can't ignore it though.

I often see this label on pet food which just means it isn't inspected properly. Also some 'edible' packaging may have it. Technically you can digest it. I doubt Taco Bell could get an exception from FDA and the likes, maybe corruption at the individual franchaise level?

That said, their beef is junk. I still eat it though, but I have low standards when it

Actually I don't think Taco Bell was owned by Pepsico or whatever big corporation owns it back then, so doing something like this was probably a breeze. ;)
