I've moved back to my country of birth and Taco Bell seems to be a thing here now.

I've tried the quesadillas and the crunch supreme and it's been... life changing.

What else should I be trying?

True Mexican food from an actual restaurant. For your health.

[โ€“] Bremmy@lemmy.ml 4 points 6 days ago

Mexicans love Taco Bell though. (Am half Mexican) And it's probably the healthiest of the fast foods. Plus, OP asked about what to eat at Taco Bell, so your reply isn't helpful

[โ€“] tetris11@lemmy.ml 27 points 1 week ago (1 children)

When I visit the US I do this exclusively from family-owned restaurants, hence why I've never tried Taco Bell.

But very few exist here, and none within delivery distance from me.

Not sure why so many people are proud to have beaten their gut into submission with years of abuse.

[โ€“] tetris11@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 week ago

Mexican food is good, I would say that Spanish food I'm more used to is still playing catchup!

[โ€“] teawrecks@sopuli.xyz 21 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That's a completely different genre of food. That's like someone saying "I like ring pops" and telling them "you should get an actual diamond ring, much higher quality".

[โ€“] hydrospanner@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Maybe not the best parallel but a good point nonetheless.

A more apt comparison might be:

"What's the best all-beef hot dog I can buy at my local supermarket?"

"Ugh! OMG! Don't do that to yourself! Why would you even want to bother with eating beef if that's the shit you're going to put in your body?! Just get some Japanese A5 Wagyu ribeye and thank me later!"
