Autentica. Comida. San Bernardinista.2 o'clock, June 27, 2003Okay, so, like, my real question about this otherwise uninteresting article is: I guess I can kind of understand why the cold-blooded Scandinavians up here in Seattle do these crazy things . . . But why the hell would anyone in Los Angeles ever want to eat at a Taco Bell? (I mean, okay, I know Taco Bell was founded in SoCal. But still. My mole-deprived soul is in torment.) |

Tourists? Newly relocated types from lands without decent Mexican food? General idiots? If nothing else, there's no accounting for taste. |

They have Taco Bell in L.A.? |
|
See, that’s the kind of Angeleno I like. |
|
Not that my default Mexican food in L.A. is particularly sophisticated or authentic (or even entirely edible), but it's not without its charms. |

Tim - while I can understand your disdain, I must admit to being one of those who have patronized that particular Taco Bell. In that instance, because I was taking classes at UCSC and working in Scotts Valley and bound by an extremely unfriendly bus schedule, Taco Bell was close enough to the bus station that I could get there, grab food, and get back in time for the bus, and Jalapenos simply wasn't. |

It’s all your fault, Rob. :) |
There's a taco bell in Santa Cruz, a quarter of a block from my favorite taqueria. I find it wholly inconceivable that anyone would choose to eat at taco bell, rather than at the cheaper and far yummier Jalapeno's.
Sometimes I despair of humanity.
