 Posted: 12 Oct 2007 07:36 AM Post subject: Taco Bell smuggles into Mexico |
 |
|
Taco Hell has re-opened in Mexico after 15 years. They now have locations in Mexico City, Monterrey and plan on opening a total of 300 Taco Bell restaurants throughout.
Yes, Taco Bell tacos are nothing like Mexican tacos, so they'll be called tacostadas. As in folded tostadas. Creative.
I'm sure they'll be mildly successful considering it's American food and different. They'll be adding a few new items to the menu such as ice cream and french fries.
Here are some thoughts from a Tijuana-based taquero:
"Competition? Please," he said. "Personally, I like the Jack in the Box tacos. Now those are good tacos. How come those guys don't come here?"
Americanized tacos returning to Mexico

How long before TB learns they need to start making tacos de perro to be delicious? |

| What has this world come to, Taco Bell in Mexico!!! I can't believe it. I don't know if they will survive especially once they break out with their own "Hot" sauce that they use, no es nada contra la buena salsa mexicana!!!! Will they survive? Only time will tell.... |

I don't know, man. You might be surprised how in other countries people love American culture and food. They eat it up, literally.
Mexicans might go WTF?! (or in this case QCh?!) when they see the Double Decker Taco or the Mexican Pizza, but they will eat it. It's ultimately going to come down to "Can they afford it?" Considering Starbucks now has 150+ locations in Mexico, I'd say yes.

Man, that's funny...and I'm sure insulting to the mexicans from over there....
It's not insulting to me because to me it's just food...maybe not all that healthy but it's food!
Taco Bell taking a stab of Mexico...Damn!
Take the Mexicali hotdogs to Kansas...we'll see what happens...vendor will go broke.... |
