heck, even most mexican restaurants are not real mexican food. (Although, many of these are tex-mex). At least according to my mexican friends. Who cares. As long as it tastes good.

What? It’s not? That’s outrageous!
I worked with a woman who was born in NY, but her parents were born in China. She said the way her family ate at home did not resemble food in most Chinese restaurants in any way, shape or form. Restaurants serve Americanized versions of Chinese dishes. There is no such thing as chop suey in China. So it’s not just Taco Bell- many ethnic cuisines are watered down versions of their original form.

I agree. It is not mexican food. I too am Mexican and it amazes me to see how many American’s think WE eat Taco Bell in Mexico. Taco Bell is the americanized version of mexican food.

I had a friend that invited me to dinner and said she was making enchilada casserole. I said “what’s that”. She said enchiladas in pieces in a cassarole dish. I told her you won’t find that in Mexico.

I made pollo con chile colorado last night, warm flour tortillas, arroz, frijolitos enteros estilo charro. That’s mexican food!

Taco Bell makes my stomach hurt really bad. Food from vendors in Mexico makes me sick for a week. Taco Bell is the lesser evil because of health codes in America…but I’m thinking any place in America but “The Bell” for this Senior.

Oh, and to answer your question…it is a little better than some Mexican food. It is worse than a good Mexican restaurant. Remember it is first and foremost basic fast food. It is produced in bulk to sell to the masses. It isn’t a fine restaurant that have the best cuts of beef.

It is Mexican food, just not great Mexican food.

No, it may not be authentic, but I see an awful lot of Mexicans eating there when I go in. Pepe the dog likes it, too.

I believe it is Mexican food. In 2003 when I was in Cancun, Mexico for spring break there were Taco Bells everywhere. When I asked a bartender where a good authentic restaurant was he told me Taco Bell. Once I was inside, there were a lot of locals and a lot of other people from different countries. I’ve had other “authentic” Mexican food like South of the Border and their salsa was not as good as the packets I got when I was at the Taco Bell in Mexico.
