    ....and it's kicking Taco Bell's ass wholesale.

    Been one in Denton for a while now, a new one has opened at 380 and 75
    in McKinney. Recommend the Macho Taco, slaps Taco Bell's Taco Bel Grande around like a retarded stepchild. Shells are thin and crispy, meat is
    well seasoned and plentiful, wonderful grated cheese, and topped with a
    great tasting pico. When you get to the middle, it's a perfectly
    stratified taco, not that all-too-often thrown together mishmash you get
    at Taco Bell.

    I don't care what Demolition Man says, Del Taco is going to eat Taco
    Bell alive.

    Which corner? (I'm guessing not SW; that's where Taco Cabana is.)

    Anyway, thanks for the recommendation.

    More accurately, Del Taco has returned. We had them in these here parts back in the 80's, but they pulled out of north Texas a while back.

    It's good to have an alternative to flavorless "No Bueno," bottom of the barrel "Toxic Hell," and the overpriced "Toxic Banana."
    Now I just have to wait for them to get down to civilization from southern Oklahoma.

    alive.

    It's good to have an alternative to flavorless "No Bueno,"

    I can't describe how much better it is than Taco Bueno's tacos - which I
    have never, ever cared for, though I do like greatly their taco salad
    with their pico and hot sauce... Mexidips and Chips is pretty decent as
    well. But their tacos - bleh.

    bottom of the barrel "Toxic Hell,"

    I actually think their Taco Bel Grande is a decent taco (and the Burrito Supreme is decent as well), though most of the rest of the food there
    makes a taco truck look like the Morton's. They create menu items like a
    child would - let's put a taco in a taco! Lame. Their patented Food
    Poisoning Rollup is a clever creation (this describes half their menu).

    And worst. Nachos. Ever.

    and the overpriced "Toxic Banana."

    Trying to remember if that's where they served me a taco salad that
    actually was like a tossed salad with purple cabbage and carrots, like
    that bagged supermarket salad with a leftover taco broken over it.

    Now I just have to wait for them to get down to civilization from southern Oklahoma.

    I have to think the expansion will happen soon - everything else good
    from California is moving here, Del Taco should be no different...

    I wouldn't use the word "good" to describe all of the imports, however. Some of them are the product of spin more than substance.

    What are you putting the category of "everything else" and "good" that is coming in from the left coast?

    They can keep the things that have made that state a sinking ship - the
    good stuff, like Del Taco and In-N-Out, those can come. Wish Islands
    Burgers would come back too...

    They can take California Pizza Kitchen back any time they like...

    Okay, just had lunch there (well a few hours ago). On the Taco
    Bell / Taco Bueno / whatever scale: not too bad. I'll be back,
    but I probably won't go out of my way.
