While not quite on every corner in my Houston area of Spring Branch there are taco trucks galore, and it’s a good thing
Within a roughly two miles radius there are taquerias, carnicerias, ostionerias, panaderias, Tex-Mex, real Mex, we got goat, a Korea town with a Super H and 99 Ranch plus Polish and Argentine plus more upscale restaurants and places.
The area can be described as scruffy with a taco truck around the corner from two million dollar homes.
Here in Canada, I tend to get the Meximelt, Border Fries /Fries Supreme (fries topped with taco meat, tomatoes, lettuce, sour cream, cheese), sometimes a soft taco or a gordita. Sometimes a bean and cheese burrito, to which I add hot sauce.
I find I rarely reorder any limited time offering specials.
I add some of their hot sauce to most things I order. The American menu has stuff we don’t have.
Back in the 80s, they made an Enchirito which was like an enchilada, but it isn’t offered in Canada anymore.
I’m always intrigued how threads can grow. I mean - I post a review on the UK board and just look how it’s grown.
The beauty of HO!
CH would shut it down for being off topic, another reason to love HO.
Spicy potato tacos 
Pretty much a tater tot taco.
Mmmm, gives me an idea for dinner. Maybe leftover garlic mashed potato quesadillas with green chile and avocado. Perhaps some thinly sliced cabbage for textural interest. Thanks for posting.
Mexican food has never been that great in The UK so I am interested in Taco Bell that has started to expand here, mostly from an anthropological perspective ( I always visit a McDonald’s in a foreign country to see what is different). I am quite big fan of Wendy’s as I had a burger from them before McDonald’s growing up. Now not operating in The UK. In Indonesia I had a breakfast sausage and egg muffin at Wendy’s. The yolk was still runny and it had fried mushrooms. So much better than McDonald’s. Very welcome when you land ar Manila airport at 6am.
Me too. Our first visit to America was in 1980 when I discovered Wendys. And McDonalds, of course. But McD didnt open in Manchester until 1984, I think. So, amongst our friends, we were the first to have eaten a McD. Of course, British company Wimpy existed long before that, so eating burgers wasnt exactly a new thing for we Britons.
@paprikaboy I like visiting McD’s in various cities. The McCafé in Vatican City offered Macarons and other pastries behind a glass case.
The options in the Chamonix McDonald’s were different from the usual. McRaclette, and other Alpine inspired things.
I admit I often use McD’s facilities, and sometimes take a photo of the menu.
If I do try chains, I like to try local chains (like Nordsee in Austria ), but I like seeing how international chain menus differ from country to country. I don’t think I’ve ordered a burger in Europe in 30 years because I’m usually trying to check regional things off my lists. That said, I have had frikadelle , klopse and kofte, so they would be relatives of burgers.
My cousin likes comparing what’s available at her Costco in San Jose vs my local Costcos in Toronto. We have hockey sticks and 10 kg containers of feta at our Costcos, whereas the Bay area Costcos tend to have a better quality seafood and organic selection.
Yes, I saw at least one Paul location in DC a couple months ago.
Do they sell those at TB @bbqboy? BTW, the mashed potato, Hatch Chile, cheese and avocado quesadillas were fantastic! Funny how ideas can be “hatched” lol.
I wish we could still get Meximelts in the 'States. No more Chilitos either.
TB has a fairly large number of non meat options, which even I, a confirmed carnivore, occasionally indulge in.
I’m not sure anyone considers this Mexican food; it is sort of a separate category.
Wow. Usually your fast food locations keep all the good items we can’t get anymore!
Thanks @bbqboy - haven’t been to a TB in about 15 years, though I really liked it a few decades ago. These days I go to Taco Time occasionally to indulge a specific craving that occurs from time to time.
That’s pretty incredible @shrinkrap - looks more like a Starbucks display, around here.
Taco Time is a peculiar PNW indulgence, I think. We have one at the mall.
I also shot some video. It was pretty impressive. Kiosks to order from and a chandelier!
