I'd check it out cause I like dirt cheap, Mexican-like food. My favorite
taco shack would be Mi Cucaracha...

The 99 cent green burrito with extra green sauce rocks. The spicy
chicken burrito, also ordered extra green is great. The chicken soft
tacos with green sauce instead of secret sauce is seriously good.
ALWAYS substitute the green for the secret sauce. Never allow them to
put that caulking gun "guacamole" on anything. You can order the half
pound green burrito, then add steak or chicken for an extra dollar.

Of the 3 hot sauces, the Del Scorcho is the only good one. It's the
medium hot one. You are lucky. The Del Taco franchise in St. Louis
was poorly run, and went out of business about a year ago. It was a
treat for me last August when we were in Rock HIll, SC, and I got to
go to a Del Taco.

Del Taco cooks their beans and grates their cheese in-store. They're
still fast food, but they're one of the best fast food restaurants
east of the Rockies. Think Popeye's, and how much better their food
is than KFC or especially Church's. Fast food doesn't have to be
crappy. There are some chains that are patently bad, like Arby's. We
have one here in St. Louis that has great food: http://www.lionschoice.com/
Real beef roasts sliced thinly, not the composite lunchmeat they offer
at Arby's.

The green sauce at Del Taco is divine. I miss it very, very much.

What a ****ing moron you are... real Mexicans don't eat that Tex-Mex
shit... leave it to Bwrrrryan the Queer Caballero... to not know the
difference between Taco Bell slop and what real Mexicans eat.

I can only comment on a local shop's procedures. I went to the one in
my town once, drive-through, and ended up with soft steak tacos that
although assembled poorly, were good enough that I thought about
having them again a few months later when I was nearing home from a
long drive.

I did not use the drive-through, although quite tired from my trip,
because I wanted to watch them being made. I was the only one at the
counter, looked up at the menu to be sure what to call what I wanted,
and ordered. The person taking my order had given a few seconds of
his attention to the drive-through microphone in his ear, which gave
me chance to notice the girls making up orders. What I saw of their
counter mess was enough to cause me to tell the order taker no, never
mind, I had no idea how things were put together here and what sloppy
service is given to things expected to be eaten. I walked out and
have not been back to any drive-through service since.

I think I only ate at Del Taco once. Got a burrito between two
clients' homes as emergency food. Despite all Bryan's praises I didn't
think it was anyting special.

I see why you call yourself Picky. My only problem with the "counter
mess" is knowing how much food gets wasted. Sounds like you're a
candidate for psychiatric intervention, who also needs a laxative.

But it's still fast food, and you don't like fast food. If one
compares it to Taco Bell, there's a pretty big contrast. THe beans
are boiled and mashed in-store. The cheese is freshly grated, so no
microcrystalline cellulose. The green sauce really is something
special. It is *very* similar to green chile you get at restaurants
in New Mexico.

When you see food being prepared by people with grease and sauce on
their clothes, and taking prepared ingredients out of the counter bins
bare handed and also talking on a cell phone while putting food
together, methinks that is not at all too picky.

OK, the cell phone crosses a line, but the whole germaphobe, wear
plastic gloves thing is a product of American neuroticism.

It does remind me of a song I wrote about 10 years ago, but that never
got played or recorded. It's called Fast Food Man, and I'll share the
lyrics. Remember, this is punk rock, and folks might wish *not* to
read further:



Fast Food Man


V-1
The food tastes good and I'm lovin' my meal
But if I got to thinkin', it could really spoil it.
When I think about whether you wash your hands
When you scratch your balls or use the toilet.

Chorus
Hey, hey, fast food man
I wonder if you washed your hands.
With all the things that you could do
I'm gonna be real nice to you.

V-2
You cough a little, and you rub your nose
You wipe your forehead, and I suppose
If I ****ed you off, you could spit on my food.
And **** and shit and semen too.

(repeat chorus)

Let's wait for sqwishy to rule on this question. As we know,
everything he says is a pronouncement from on high, and nobody ever
makes fun of his pomposity and bloated ego.

They were lucky that no health inspector was on site. Otherwise,
they'd get some hefty fines.

FastFood is Pig Slop by definition.

Even a blind pig finds an acorn every once in a while! ;-)

It's not possible to further contaminate typical border state Tex-Mex
Coozine, or any of those border state variations... real Mexicans
don't eat that crap. I can buy better Tex-Mex in NY... at least we
try to have health codes.

By some definition you just made up. While good fast food items are
the exception, they exist. Lion's Choice roast beef sandwiches,
Popeye's spicy fried chicken, and Del Taco's bean & cheese burritos
are notable exceptions. I hear that the burgers at What-a-Burger are
as well.

Since pigs probably depend more on smell than sight to find acorns
anyway, I imagine they find quite a few.

There's your problem right there. It's always better to not know how
your food is prepared. This is especially true for Chinese food. Just
fantasize about spotlessly clean shiny stainless steel kitchens if it
helps. If you're really picky, just make it yourself.

No. Maybe you should say it out loud (i.e. type it in your reply).

We have one and the food is nothing more than bland. Ate there once
and once was one time too many.

But it's still fast food, and you don't like fast food. If one
compares it to Taco Bell, there's a pretty big contrast. THe beans
are boiled and mashed in-store. The cheese is freshly grated, so no
microcrystalline cellulose. The green sauce really is something
special. It is *very* similar to green chile you get at restaurants
