the name sounds like some corny shit John Taffer would come up with on Bar Rescue.

 

[ISOM]

They never were.

Real mexican looks like this.

They just pour a bunch of organs and shit in a bowl and eat it. But Americans would find those good parts gross for some reason.

You are generalizing americans rather inaccurately. Organ meat is used a lot in southern US cooking.

It's a name that says AMERICA and TACOS with the logo and roadsign designed by our good friends at Dave's Sign Company. Let's go inside and see the changes...

Real mexican tacos and burritos don't have to be like that and no one eats that in the north. They can be made from anything as long as it's corn tortilla or flour for burritos. And no rice inside

I loved when in california, in your local newspaper, Chiptole would give you a paper bag that said "bring this in for a free burrito", we would rob local newspaper machines. yes it was wrong, yes we was young. we were young, dumb and full of burritos!

Taco Bell can make shitty food taste amazing, so I can only imagine how good it'll be when they're actually trying.

Logo is great too.

 

[wenis]

Tacos and potatoes wedges? Definitely the stumble in at 1am for food before going home place...

Not really as a mexican I can tell you that mexican cuisine is so diverse to just a "bunch of organs", let's see.

Tacos are not hard, they are soft and you can find many styles depending of the region, in the north for example you can get trompo (wich was originated by turkish inmigrants in the early XX century)

In the coast fish tacos are quite common

At central Mexico there're tacos de canasta (these ones have potatoe, beans and beef)

Also quesadillas with flor de calabaza, huitlacoche or meat

So yeah, Mexican food is much more than just carnitas

 

[Bread]

more taco bell please

i want it all

That's my kind of Mexican food.

 

[Musolf815]

I am indebted to Taco Bell for life since the release of the Cheesy Gordita Crunch. I will gladly choose this place over my beloved quesarrito parlor Chipotle.

Holy shit yes. I don't know how much harder I can agree. Cheesy Gordita Crunch for life! I recently found out from a friend that works at Taco Bell that you can put a Dorito shell in the Gordita Crunch. I haven't tried it yet though.

yeah, they were. that link is talking about HARD SHELL tacos specifically, not all tacos. And "restaurant style" burritos, not burritos in general.

And that shit you posted is just the entrails and other leftovers that nobody else wanted. They ate that shit because they had to. Maybe you meant to say "real poor mexican."

tacos and burritos are plenty mexican.

 

[steveovig]

I'll stick with Chipotle. If I'm doing a cheat day, it's there. If it ain't broke, why fix it? What the hell is fast-casual anyways?

 

[SwiftDeath]

I am ok with this. Hope it's tasty

 

[Persona7]

chipotle is so gross because it tries to be authentic but fails horribly

taco bell is good in a weird sort of way

 

[akira28]

finally my dream of consuming American tacos will finally come true?

 

[Gentleman Jack]

Who eats that shit when you have proper Taqueria's around?

You'd think right? But Taco Bell thrives in SoCal.

Places like this exist for the gentry who are otherwise intimidated by more authentic fare sold in less uniformly pristine locations. It's telling they're opening this in Huntington Beach, a level 93 Middle Class White Enclave.

It is possible to like both in different ways. Taco bell just hits the spot every now and then.

 

[alfredofroylan]

That's my kind of Mexican food.

And that's only the tip of the iceberg, common dishes include "asado de puerco", big chuncks of pork floating on a semi-spicy sauce.

Then we got mole, either chicken or turkey with an amazing mixture made with chocolate, chilly and spices

Chiles en nogada, a sstample of our festivites

And to drink

For the people wondering about the "chunck of organs" they're called "carnitas" and they include bofe (lung), chachete (cheeks), nenepil (uterus), ears, etc, and yes they actually taste great.

 

[Camp Lo]

I'd try it if it tastes good and the workers rush me through the line like an Old World Cafeteria.

Well, I think they taste good.

People are just scared to try new things. They would rather eat crap they know is crap because they are accustomed to it. You even see it from some people on this board.

 

[alfredofroylan]

Well, I guess I think they taste good.

They taste good actually, but C'mon dude, that's not even a 1/1000 of what mexican food is.

 

[breakfuss]

Came in here ready to rag on it and that actually looks pretty gooooood.

 

[EulaCapra]

Taco Co.

Ta cocoa.

Odd name choice

U.S. Taco Co. is a bad generalized name in the first place. It sounds like what Taco Bell's parent company name should have been.

 

[Gentleman Jack]

I honestly wonder what would happen if they held one of those wretchedly safe 'food truck' fairs they have on the coastal cities and an old fashioned taco truck crashed the party with tacos made with tongue, tripe, brain, etc.

 

[Paper Sparrow]

I came in here to complain about the name, but the logo makes up for it so... yep.

No thanks.

 

[alfredofroylan]

No thanks.

That's just a dish dude. It's like saying that American cuise is just limitated to Hot Dogs, actually sausages have all the things on that picture.

 

[eudaemonic]

Haha... I wish the second reply in this thread was the first but close enough.

I might go check it out sometime if it's not on Main or around that immediate area. I can't suffer that crowd for anything over there.

This is the most ignorant thing I have read in a while.

All Scottish food is haggis.

All English food is blood pudding.

All Australian food is kangaroo.

All Asian food is dog.

 

[Dartastic]

WOW, EXECUTIVES ARE REALIZING THEY CAN'T COMPETE WITH REAL FOOD WITH SHIT FOOD.

...I like Taco Bell from time to time, but comparing Taco Bell to Chipotle is ridiculous. Chipotle is the far tastier, healthier option.

This is the most ignorant thing I have read in a while.

For real.

Man, even if I was being facetious I wouldn't have had those thoughts come to mind. I guess I'm not very racist, myself, though.

I really don't like Taco Bell, but that really looks like it could be good!

I would like to try haggis one day and I like blood pudding. I think it's important to try national dishes that certain people would call gross or disgusting. I also don't think people say Asians eat dogs anymore.

As long as we agree that Americans only eat Rocky Mountain Oysters.

 

[Bollocks]

Chipotle is the best damn thing when you come to america

 

[Laekon]

Name is US Taco Co, has a Día de Muertos skull symbol, and serves fries and milk shakes? Some one got paid to come up with this? Does the breakfast menu have congee?

Glad we will continue to lead the world in fat and stupid for the foreseeable future.

[Upsidedown Fuji]

If I ever encounter one of these new fangled US tacoco restaurants I'll gladly try it. But I still like my cheap as dirt taco bell. So many late night cravings fulfilled.

 

[SolVanderlyn]

You know that actually looks kinda good. Minus the weird looking wedges.

Are you joking. Those wedges look like the best thing about this news.

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

lmao holy shit I knew the name of this "new company" sounded familiar.

Fantastic. Just fantastic.
