In no universe, under no God real or imagined, in no sense, is Taco Bell Mexican food. 

It's not even food.

I have not dined there in decades.  They seem to stay in business so someone likes them.  I guess they are "cheap".

We had pizza from Costco one night in SD, I thought it was pretty decent.

Mi Dia from scratch was pretty good
upscale place - $15 on the lunch menu

I had the Stacked enchiladas 



My brother's friend Zane had the same dish.
Came with a egg on top.

Better food has fresh, quality, not over cooked ingredients.
The difference for me is the flavors of the sauces
This had a red sauce on one side and a green sauce on the other.
Both very flavorful and neither of them had much heat.

Same with the red & green salsa for the fresh chips although the salsa had a bit of heat. Which was nice.

We were out and about and I stopped in for dinner at this place, which is highly regarded aroud here.

El Rey Del Taco – The best authentic Mexican food in Atlanta (elreydeltacoatl.com)

I had a shrimp burrito and my wife had shrimp fajitas.  Both were quite good, the burrito wrap was especially tasty.  It was better than my local spot, some, and more $$$, not too bad.  We had two margaritas each.

It was packed at 5 PM with Hispanic looking folks.  Anyway, if you're ever in town ...

This part of town is where a ton of Latins and Asians live now and the food is pretty awesome though Buford Highway is a complete eye sore.

Wonder if he read Westerns?
Suburbia:Where they tear out the trees & then name streets after them.

well, I'm not going ALL the way to the SEC board just to annoy my Horn fan buddies

Perhaps it's not the A&M Aggies running from the Horns....
maybe it's the Horn fans running from the Husker Prick Squad?

Coiuld be, could be.

I reckon I'll still discuss Porch topics right here, and reserve the SEC board for SEC-related commentary.
