Default Taco Bell

I know this is fast food but why is there no Taco Bell in Victoria? I had one of those crunchwrap supreme things when I was in the states and it was awesome.

The one that we had closed down. I don't know why.

I've only been to one and it was in Smithers, BC and it was horrible...

But yeah, I don't know either. Taco Time is pretty rank too.

The Macs contained a Taco Del Mar which I think is a separate franchise. I don't remember Victoria having a Taco Bell. [url=http://www.theimpulsivebuy.com/wordpress/2005/06/28/taco-bell-crunchwrap-supreme/:ee183]Crunchwrap Supreme[/url:ee183]? Meh, I don't eat restaurant food that's patented. I'd rather spend a few extra bucks and have a real Mexican meal at a grown-up restaurant. :-D :wink:

The only time I ever stepped foot in a Taco Bell was when they happened to run out of beef. As I stood in the line some elderly guy flipped out and screamed "Where's the beef. God damnit, this corporation is driving me nuts! Get some beef!"

No jokes.

Taco Bell was in the same building as KFC on Douglas that is now MAC's.

I only had one taco from Taco Bell it was really RANK!!!

Though I like Taco Time.

The owners of all the Taco Time's in Victoria just sold all the franchises. They owned them for twenty years. I played hockey with one of the former owners. (one of the brothers).

Word has it that the new owners are running it down.

You know, I'm pretty sure Taco Del Mar and Taco Bell are not connected and are separate American franchises.

Ya, they are seperate. The Taco Bell we had in the KFC sucked compared to what I've had in the states. I think it would do really well here for those in a hurry as Taco Time has gotten quite stale offering nothing new. I've gone to the taco place in the Sussex a couple of times, not bad.

That's almost as shocking as VHF not knowing St. Andrews had an interior mini-mall. You guys have to get out of your cars once in a while!
