Read thread.

It really depends what kinda mood I am in. They are both good in my oppinion.

Best walk in fast mexican food found in the OC would probably be Chipotle.

taco bell is the only one causing a 'reign of terror'(that and bush... that was to obvious) anyway, im boycotting taco bell http://www.pcusa.org/boycott/ and so is my church
Farmworkers picking tomatoes for Florida-based growers receive 40 ? 45 cents for every 32 pound bucket of tomatoes picked and earn, on average, $7,500 a year according to the Department of Labor. Their wages have remained unchanged in more than 20 years. In the past five years there have been three cases of debt-bondage slavery in the tomato fields that have been prosecuted by the U.S. Department of Justice and for which convictions and prison sentences have been handed down to crew leaders. Two more cases were uncovered in the fall of 2003.

taco bell is owned by the YUM corporation, they also own KFC, carls jr, and a bunch of other places. YUM makes more money from KFC China then then they do from all the KFCs in america.

taco bell owns slaves

7 layer burrito at taco bell is pretty good.
Just don't get anything that has meat in it and you'll be fine :)

del taco = scary place to eat. Think Taco Bell but cheaper meat and toppings :disgust:

Yep. There are many smaller, regional fast food Mexican joints that beat the sh!t out of both of those chains.

La Salsa and Sharky's in CA are two that I can think of that are WORLDS better. The difference is like night and day.

I dont know what a Del Taco is, but if it is worse than taco bell than it must be bad cuz taco bell sucks pretty hard. Best fast food mexican is Chipotle, if you have one near you then you know what Im talkin about.

Never even heard of Del Taco.

I do enjoy a double decker taco and a chicken quesadilla from Taco Bell once in awhile though.

Never seen or been to Del Taco, so Taco Bell wins. I don't eat TB much though, I'm not a big fan.

Yeah, but places like La Salsa (eg Baja Fresh and Chipotle) can be almost double the price of Taco Bell and Del Taco. Not worth it most of the time IMHO.

Considering the fact that Taco Bell is the worlds most effective laxative in my body, the extra cost is more than worth it.

And IIRC, I never paid more than $6 for a Taquitos & Quesadilla Platter at La Salsa.

Just like anything else in the world, you get what you pay for.

On a side note - I went to a Mexican restaurant on Saturday... I had 3 fajitas (make it yourself) with chicken and beef... all for a low low price of $15.95. My wife had a rice dish, a kahlua, and an guacamole appetizer - and the bill came out to $50. :roll:

IOW, Taco Bell rules.
