I ordered a "South of the Border" Taco at Taco Bell. If I scraped all of the meat from the inside of the taco and balanced it on the outside edge, it still wouldn't be half as much as is shown in the poster advertising this product at the "restaraunt". And have you seen the Whopper Poster? This is a conspiracy!

Remember Michael Douglas in "Falling Down" as DeFense, when he ordered the fast food? Same thing and all of the fast food resturants are guilty of this kind of false advertising. You get what you pay for but not what you ask for based on the pictures they post. Charlie

be glad you get less. the only time i ate? actually ordered a mcrib i spit it out into a mcnapkin and left the place without even using their mctoilet. my wife goes here to order happy meals to get the little beanie babys and gives the meals to the pigeons that gather outside. what do they know. how can you talk with such knowledge about cigars and even think about these places?

folks, at this I am an expert. I have picked up my lunch almost everyday on my way to my shop from Taco Bell for the last 8 years. In all that time, I have only received hepatitis once, not bad eh? Anyway, I have given up on hoping to get anything that looks like the product in the picture. I actually had high hopes of trying their new grilled stuffed burrito, but disappointed again as they skimped as usual, I didn't even notice any cheese in it. So just prepare for food there that has about half of what is in the picture, base your ordering on that. I would much rather eat at Taco Johns, but there isn't one in my area. And you wonder from my eating there every day, if I am some lard ass? Actually I am probably about 5 pounds overweight, probably thanks to their skimping and I didn't get very much food. I have a big glass of orange juice for breakfast, two items at Taco Bell with water for lunch, then I pack it away at dinner, my favorite meal.

Taco John's is the best!...They put soo much more beef in their tacos than toppings, unlike "the Bell"....Ah...To relive the college days again...Unfortunately, there are no Taco John's near where I live

yeah enjoy a nice merlot with your grilled buritto and then light up a black stallion. In fact call me I've got some(over price at the $10.00 for 25 price I paid). Or get some real food that takes more than 10 seconds to prepare and smoke a gloria cubana maduro, or padro or **** you get the undistorted picture.

Taco John? I think that's the place that I deposited my South of the Border Taco about 10 minutes after I ate it. As for WHY I went there: I was busy at work and needed a quick bite. There is only so much Lobsta and Clam Chowda one person can eat here in New England...
