Yes, Foothill and San Antonio. Been there?

There's another one on 4th and Grove in Ontario and another on Indian Hill at San Bernardino Road.

I seldom go to Taco Bell (maybe once every 3 months) but when I do, I always get the Double Decker Taco Supreme. It's been my favorite there for over a decade.

As far as the poll goes, I voted hard shell. I prefer to make my own shells at home and fry them up, the only time I'll eat tacos out is at a LEGIT Mexican restaurant and in CA, given our Hispanic population - those restaurants are rare IMO.

I am a soft shell man myself. Nothing better then a Mexican restaurant that makes them fresh on site. I aslo enjoy brands that make "Mucho Grande" soft taco flour shells. Macho Burrito please!

I could eat hard shell tacos all day long. The best tacos I ever had were in Okinawa Japan of all places. It was long time ago, but there was a joint outside of Camp Kinser that fried the tortilla shells after you order. Those were the Bomb!!

Dang. Now I'm hungry.

Kinda, but if even Taco Bell won't try a foothold (again, I believe) we don't even get small ma'n'pa mexican outfits... we get Old El Paso Dinner Kits and that's it!

I know. I lived there several years ago and almost died. I managed to find a Mexican restaurant at a mall near Bayswater. The food was bland and sucked, but I still went back for more. Taco Bell would have been great!! I ate Mexican food for weeks when I moved back to the States.

I'm not sure about that. After going without for an extended period of time, even TB hits the spot.

I've never even found a mexican restaurant in the UK... we get burrito stands at festivals, which are a decent size but about £7, and not at all spicy. Lack of Mexican fastfood = travesty.

Yes, I'd happily settle for a Taco Bell. Anything better would be a blessing.

I would say soft corn Tacos. Whenever I get home to SA, Texas, first thing I do is have "Authenic" Mexican Food! Yummmmm!:-)

True, I try my best to avoid it but sometimes it does taste good. Like after a long night of drinking which sounds like a bad idea.

Now that's a shame, those are always the best ones if you find them.

I don't want no American tacos! Give me z real stuff! (although I do crave hard shells whenever Taco Bell has them on special for 39 cents) ....:-)

Speaking of which, I have yet to try the TACO ZONE roach coach (parked on Alvarado just north Sunset) which according to Chowhound has z best tacos in all of LA.
