Susan's Place Transgender Resources

Just for fun it's a taco war.In recent times I have came to expand my taste buds to food cooked local and fresh. Be it whatever. Still growing up as a kid there were few things I liked more than tacos( indeed few things I still like more). As a kid I went to both as were I was living we had both. That was until about 2002 when the last Taco Bell in my city closed and never came back. I then started to eat at taco time far more regularly the following year. I still missed Taco Bell and when we moved east the places I lived in had one near by. But no Taco time. Moving to Manitoba the places I live in have both and as opposed to being in where I was in BC (no Bell) or the places in ON (no time) I genuinely find myself in a delema when I was greasy tacos as I am hungry but running around. What's your pick hahha?

Well I got to a place in downtown Louisville called Santa Fe and for $9 they make you a burrito the size of your head it is so good it is truly amazing and you can get it steak or chicken bee and it's an authentic Hispanic restaurant

My all time favorite is "Taco Stop" in Mexico City. Best tacos I have ever had; wish they were here in the US.

Best Always, Love

Taco Bell is not the Mexican phone company.   ;)

I do not go to Taco Bell, but I do buy the Taco Bell seasoning packets at the store when I make tacos at home. Their seasoning is good.

There are Taco Johns where I am at and it is better because it is much saltier. I really like salt now.

Taco Bell over Taco Time.

I have never been in either of them, and do not plan to change this.  If I want to eat Taco's, I go to a Mexican place or make them at home.

Tehehehe nice stuff y'all. It's true preferably I prefer fresh made to order Mexican food. But sometimes I can hardly help but eat a fast food taco. That said I ironically was offered Taco Bell for lunch today by my mom (which I didn't really expect to get) for the first time in months. It's ok but I think I have eaten it too many times. When I lived in Petawawa there was a brand new store, I think a new chain even, called Quesada. It was so good. Burning mouth hot sauce, burritos nearly bursting with food in it. Omg do I miss it hahaha

Del Taco for cheap and decent, Tacos Guaymas (a local to the Puget Sound region) for good and not expensive Mexican food, there have been a multitude of occasions where my partner and I have been the only gringas in the place. 

Here in South Florida, if you cannot find a non-franchise Taco shop, you must be blind.

We have them here on every corner and shopping mall. We even specify what nationality the cooks come from. Each nation south of the US makes a taco slightly differently. The independent Taco shops are the best.

You say it sister!  If you can't find decent, fresh made Latino food around here, you will not find it anywhere in the US!

I prefer mexican food.  ;D

Lol awesome for you Florida people! I think I have only had taco del mar one time since 2004/05.

So I finished my Taco Bell 10nhours ago and don't think I will be going back for a while. My tummy has the taco thunders :(

I prefer tacos from my kitchen!  Always fresh and made to order. :)

For a fast food place in the USA that I have tried, where the tacos are better than from Taco Bell,  I will get tacos at the Carl Jr's / Green Burrito (Western USA) and the Hardee's / Red Burrito (Eastern USA). 

But I make tacos better at home and can get better tacos at non fast food taco places.

I'm from Oklahoma, and we have Taco Bueno.  It's pretty good.  It's way better than Taco Hell.

Then again, you have to go to Oklahoma or Texas to get it. 

Taco Bueno is ok but I like Green Burrito best.

Never had it.

Here I am, living in the US for more than 40 years, and have never set a food into a taco chain restaurant, or for that, in a lot of other fast food places.  I just don't like the factory made fast food (no matter whether it is hamburgers or tacos), but definitely appreciate a hamburger made from scratch in a ma and pa type restaurant.

If I had to pick a gringo-mex chain I would have to go with Del Taco.

It is not authentic at all, but it's my drive through guilty pleasure when I'm out West.


Nothing beats a Southern Arizona "erto's" or Nico's though.

But I mostly love sit-down Mexican/TexMex restaurants.  My go-to meal is the beef chimichanga with rice and beans, lettuce, tomato, and some chips and queso.  Keep in mind that I rarely get outside Oklahoma.

Chico's Tacos    multiple location in El Paso Texas.........any street taco vendor really

Any good Air Defender can rattle off a dozen good taco places on Dyer St.  :)

My apologies.

My apologies.

If you are sorry there is an edit button. The only arguments I want over Taco's is who gets the last one? ;)

Still for a Chain Del Taco is my go to... Here is Washington we have an OK selection of non chain places, still the best are the one's my partner makes, think that is the main reason I keep her ;)

I just took my post down.

Anyway, too bad they don't have a Taco John's where I live.  They own the trademark to Taco Tuesday.

I sure hope your partner doesn't read your posts; she might decide to not keep you.

Best Always, Love

It might be cheaper and I would have some privacy! I will show her the post ASAP!

Being a Texan, I make my own.  When I was young and worked at a sheet metal shop, we would stock up on .39 cent tacos at Taco Bell and put them in the break room freezer.  They would last us for several weeks.   Taco Bell tacos are like Ramen noodles to Texan.

I rarely cross the Red but I am going to be in OK City this Spring to visit a Shipmate and to tool down the Mother Road for a piece to experience Route 66 before she is all gone.   I am sure that all of the original taco stands have long gone.

Nice.

I sure hope so.  It has been a dream to take that trip before it is all gone.  Would love to hit the road fully transitioned in a convertible muscle car and see what kind of trouble a girl can get into. :)

I wouldn't mind a trip up and down Route 66 with some lady friends.  Hell, I was born in a town on the Mother Road; Claremore, Oklahoma.

I highly suggest it.  It is fast disappearing historical resource directly connected to America's golden age of motoring and vehicle vacation travel.  Doing a little online research is now required to actually find the Road and to see sights, venues, destinations and eats that are still available and in what condition.  Many have gone into disrepair or abandoned.  Then there is a cadre of hearty Folks who have purchased, restored and reopened these historical treasures.  Many towns have realized this treasure and has sought to preserve it.  I spent nearly 3 months in Flagstaff, Arizona 2 Winters ago and it was treat to be right there on the former Right of Way of 66.  It was a damn good treat.   Over past the Continental Divide, I jumped on the actual road bed that parallels the Interstate.  Let's just say the ride was  bit rough!  Also suggest riding the Steam/diesel historic excursion train from Williams, Arizona (preserved portion of Route 66) directly into the main part of the Grand Canyon.  What a beautiful and relaxing way to travel!  Being Arizona, there ARE some taco stands that can be found.
