How the mightly has fallen since 1979.

Nope.

I've only had it once, in Minneapolis. It made violently ill. I mean, in all fairness whenever I eat in the US I get sick but this shit made me seriously sick.

So, never again.

What year was it when you had your first and only trip to Taco Bell?

'95 or '96. Sometime around then.

It's only when you leave the US do you realize the food isn't higher in grade than dog food. I've all but stopped eating anything from franchise restaurants.

As far as Taco Bell, I always thought Latino's should've sued the company for "defamation of our culinary culture."

Hi ya Tony welcome back.

I knew it! IMO, the quality of Taco Bell started to fall off after 1993.

I'd say 20 yrs ago I really liked their taco supremes. Even their bacon cheeseburger tacos, but that was over 20 yrs ago, heck I was pregnant with my son. There was another taco at that time i use to like but it's been long gone. I don't like them so much any more.

I hate to sound like a snob, but if you've ever lived in the American Southwest, Taco Bell is dog food. Chipotle is a little closer to actual food

If you're in Kansas or Louisiana, there are Taco Tico locations! Taco Tico is underrated and it's a shame that fast food clain didn't have mainstream success as Taco Bell did.

I first had Taco Bell in college - it was good.

It seriously downgraded in quality around the time that they changed the chips from fried corn tortillas to greasy flour wafers.

I once went down to Texas and ate at Taco Bueno.

Definitely better than the Bell.

I remember when Pizza Hut tatse good

Yes, back when i was a kid in the 90's. Taco Bell tasted bomb! now eh

A lot of the fast food places burger king, Mc, Wendys... they all tasted so better when i was a kid. now that i'm an adult, it's like eating a wet, greasy lard burger same with TB

Usually when i eat there it fes up my stomach...... when i was a kid that didn't happen

One of these days, I have to eat at Taco Bueno. I hear that their burritos are very good.

Save THAT^ for the next pizza thread. I have plenty to say about how Pizza Hut had felt off in recent years.

I do Taco Bell was so much better in the 70s and 80s.I don't know what happened but they don't taste the same.

I was born in 1985. I'd have to ask my dad. When I was younger back in the 90s, that was the SPOT, though. Nacho Grande wasn't just a sad li'l display of chips and cheese, a burrito was a burrito, BATMAN 1989 CUP!!!

I nagged and nagged until my dad got me one. I lost my first tooth eating a hard-shell taco. That traumatized me, so I ate nothing but soft shell tacos. And then one day in 1997 I was like..."screw this" 'cause they changed the portions and added a lot of...salt or something. I dunno. Maybe it was just the one around my house. I decline from being a great one to a SUPER ghetto one with a bored staff.

I moved on to the McDonald's across the street and never looked back. If I didn't think it would tear my stomach up, I would go to Taco Bell for old times. Their sauces made the best fake blood.

I don't know if they've chnaged since 1997, but if I ever find myself in Texas again, that's the first place I'm gonna hit.

yes. Back when the meat didn't come premade in a bag. And the green sauce ROCKED and you got the quesadilla without that jalapeno shit on it and they had the bell beefer. Taco Bell was the best back in the day

Taco Bell gives me the sh*ts. TMI perhaps-but it's real and true, unlike the quality of food Taco Bell delivers.

Of all the chains, Naugles was the BEST. But Del Taco bought them out

the enchirito was my order all the time back in the 80's. Taco Bell was my first job back in 1986! I used the money to make a super-8 movie.

Could you be any cuter?

Is US-American food that different from Canadian-American food? I mean, you do have almost the same fast food chains, don´t you? What is so different about US food?

There IS a difference between European fast food chains and American ones ( the taste is pretty much the same but American beef contains hormones that aren´t used in Europe) and the hygiene standards, especially in Germany, are pretty high, and of course there are slight menu differences but what exactly is it about American food that makes you sick?

Just curious.

I liked Taco Bell back when I was in middle school, when I didn't know any better

Anytime there was a day we didn't have school my childhood bestfriend and I would walk there and feel like we were going to Disney World

The difference is grade of food.

You mean lower quality meats being used in US fast food chains as compared to Canadian food standards?
