Mexican food is, of course, very popular in the USA. However, I have never seen torta's outside of an authentic Mexican restaurant. |

They were all over Texas when I lived there. Good burger. Maybe 6 inches across, flat meat patty lotsa shredded lettuce, like a diner in the 40's (as I imagine it). Best burger IMO still goes to Fuddruckers because they grill it on a flame, serve it on house-made bun. and buffet table of variety condiments and veggies. Can't possibly get a bad burger when you dress it yourself. |

Well you can, but you only have yourself to blame.... I have to try a chik-fil-a when I see one next, as I love fried chicken in general. Though it'd have to compete with the morrocan fried chicken sandwich I just had at a new local place that's just opened, which was a think of beauty...

Yes! My favorite. I'm sorry there are none around me. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

As to Chic Fil A... their preliminary application asks for the dates you have consumed alcohol in the last two years. |

I've never seen on outside of Mexico. IMO for the US market they'd have to change. You'd want to put in things like bacon, for example. Funny enough, though, tortas are made without chiles of any kind. They are added afterwards by the customer. Donald Trump is a one-term LOSER |

| Pacomartin Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 1068 Posts: 12569 |  Glen Bell created Taco Bell simply because he saw how popular the Mexican restaurant's in his area were. He was selling hot dogs and hamburgers. After only 16 years he had hundreds of restaurants and he sold it to Pepsi. Can you explain to me why there are as many Taco Bells in Costa Rica and Guatemala as in Canada? I can understand why there aren't any in Mexico as one would probably be blown up.

I don't know how much the international expansion happened when it was privately owned. It looks like Chipotle is becoming the darling of Mexican fast dining in the USA.  TOTAL UNITS IN 2013 (USA) 5,769 Taco Bell 1,595 Chipotle Mexican Grill 613 Qdoba Mexican Grill 547 Del Taco 528 Moe's Southwest Grill |

It shows how much things have changed economically in the last 55 years. In 1960 there were no chain fast food restaurants except in very limited areas. We had none and it was the 2nd largest city MI. People couldn't afford to eat out, even at cheap prices. In 62 we saw the first McD's and burgers were 10 cents. That was cheap even to poor people. That there are 10's of thousands of these places now shows how far we've come. Eating out is the norm, we never did it in the 50's. Ever. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |
