Well had to go for lunch today after my post earlier. Enchilada(chilada), bean and chicken burrito with mild sauce and 2 soft tacos. Not too bad

Taco Bell went downhill when their buildings stopped looking like this...

is there a problem with my order?

#106

Anybody know what's going in at the old Taco Bell at Walsh Tarlton & 2244?  Old rumor was a What-a-Burger but the property manager said it fell through.

order?  no.  cholesterol levels?  maybe.

This thread spurred memories of Taco USA from back in the 80s. My best friend and I used to smash a shit ton of food back in Del Rio. My girlfriend at the time worked there and would always sneak extras into the bags. Talk about some good cheap high school kid food! We'd eat there and then walk across Ave F and get a shake a mickey D's and some 39 cent cheeseburgers and walk all over town burning that shit off.

#113

The new chicken wings are pretty good, but it's not a traditional buffalo style wing. It reminded me of fried chicken made with panko breading. Really crispy, but good taste/texture. The spicy ranch sauce kind of sucks. I added Fire sauce to it, and tasted much better.

Besides the Raising Cane's that's been there for 2+ years?

#118

Yes, that location.  That Taco Bell and Raising Cane's freely estimated to the property management & landlord groups that 80% of their revenue came from laborers, tradesman, and domestic staff working the surrounding areas.  I would think whatever replaces Taco Bell will also have to be friendly to that demographic.  I would think a What-a-Burger would work given how they fare with that demographic in other parts of Austin but they may have just gotten cold feet on the rental rate.  

Taco Bell just didn't do the volume that the other fast-food joints in that area do.  And with their pricing, volume is the key.  I wonder if a Cabo Bob's could make it there?

I thought Canes just took that real estate over. I forgot that the taco bell structure is still there sitting adjacent. 

One of the issues is that restaurants there can't be open past like 10pm. Have to imagine that hampered their revenue.

It was a shame when it closed. That taco bell was always on fucking point. 

#120

I know Cane's has wanted to take it over to improve their drive-thru shitshow but they don't need that whole corner PAD site.  You raise a point I didnt' think to ask them about, maybe they're trying to rework that corner parking lot to become a second walk-out drive thru lane like Chick-Fil-A's have.  Then you'd have to move the old Taco Bell drive-thru lane and that will obviously effect what tenant wants to move in there.  That whole thing is a shitshow at lunchtime with work truck after van after van trying to tuck into the Cane's drive-thru lane with milfs trying to get into the main shopping center.  

I coulda sworn that Taco Bell was open after 10:00p.  Wife and I would hit it up after an event or holiday party that didn't serve enough food.  I know that McDonald's is open until 11:00p because I've hit it up for that very same reason.  But you're right, almost every other restaurant in that entire vicinity from 360 to Barton Creek to MoPac...all close before 10:00p, 8 or 9 in many cases.  Hard to move booze and make your margins with those kinda hours.  But yeah, we probably hit up that Taco Bell a couple dozen times over the years.

Taco Bueno over Taco Bell all day….the bueno burger, muchaco and party menu were the tits.  For those in South Austin, Taco Ranch is decent - reminds me of ‘80s Taco Bell or Bueno a bit.  I’ve been hoping that’s what they are putting in on Walsh Tarlton as the color scheme is similar.  Also heard there is a new Bueno at Wm Cannon & I-35.

Also, this pisses me off. They can add chicken wings but can't bring back the double decker taco or XXL grilled burrito. WTF??

Getting rid of the Mexican pizza should be a crime against humanity.

Damn...That looks like the Taco Bell of my youth and one that I would go to.  I haven't been to Taco Bell in years since they no longer are an actual taco place.  Fuck you Taco Bell.  If I want wings or chicken I will go to a wings or chicken place.  I want Taco Casa to Houston now.

I'll never understand the love of Taco Bell. They use a caulk gun for the meat.

In my 20s on a Saturday late morning I did NOT GIVE A FUCK.
#127

wish they'd bring the triple layer naoch back.  it'd probably be $2 tho (no idea how it was $1 and the chips+cheese was $1.50).

sometimes i hit the sonic on the way for their frito burrito as well. 

#129

I love this country.  Supply chain issues in our health care system mean my proctologist can't get enough Colyte for his patients but we have trucks full of Taco Bell Creamy Avocado Ranch.  Which, thankfully, does the exact same fucking thing.  'MURICA!

Bought this tonight for $1.50 since they didn’t have the Avocado above. No clue what the fuck I’ll put it on though.

Tacos?

#132

Might be good just drizzled over a plate of naoch. 

#134

A coworker lives close to a Taco Bell and signed up for the subscription. He loves it. It works out to about 30 cents a taco, and the special promotion tacos are included with the original 7. You have to really like Taco Bell, but there isn't a cheaper lunch out there. 

#135

If you are going to make a stand, you should make the stand for the enchirito.

Why the fuck don’t we get the Chili Cheese Burrito here in Austin? They have them in Dallas, Houston and the RGV. We’re in no man’s land.

This is true as well. That thing was damn tasty.

I thought the Chili Cheese Burrito was a thing of the past and people who were eating it found something rare in the wild. The last one I had around here was almost 20 years ago. But based on the locator map it looks like it’s pretty much everywhere except the Austin/San Antonio area since the franchise owner doesn’t want to carry it on their menu. I could have been eating one of these things when I was on the road instead of waiting 2 decades for a big comeback. Know your audience and bring this shit back to the 512/210 area.
