They were good back in the day, 80s. Now just count on diarrhea

@NYKID10014 That's doesn't sound like much fun...

[spershall]

I'm in the US and I've never seen a Taco Time, but we have Taco Bell everywhere.

[GrubcoTV3]

I never saw a Taco Time either, so they obviously didn't stay here long.

Deleted from Kuttyswood:

What you just said, proved the theory right, that tacos don't work as mainstream fast food in Australia, as the homemade versions (i.e Old el Paso) sell like hotcakes. Just ask Taco Bell... (I wonder if they still have Taco Bells in Sydney)

I dont think taco bell is with us anymore there was one in george st near the cinemas but thats gone now

[GrubcoTV3]

Yes I remember that one and went there a few times. There was also one near where I live, which was a KFC/Taco Bell (both shops under 1 roof).

Perhaps I can explain. Taco Time is legendary here in the Seattle area. Oregon and Idaho too. It is excellent, for fast food, that is. examples: Clean restaurants, helpful staff; no lard nor even any oil in beans, yet they are very good; the choice of having whole wheat tortillas; they bring the food to your table (no tip expected) and maintain current standards of health food. It is the best, and we here could never compare it to Taco Bell. It was based , in Maple Valley, WA, but now in AZ.

We also have a whole bunch of them here in Utah.

@Editor5899 Hi. Yes, I live in Bellevue. I love the Seattle area. It is the best place to live in the world. You have a great channel!

[Editor5899]

@SeattleLA Lol you can tell your from Washington or live their or both. You can tell I live in washington from my videos :P

[SeattleLA]

@Editor5899 Yes that is true. A few items are way overpriced, but I can always eat a meal there for under $4.

@NYKID10014 I've never had that probelm going there. Maybe if you had something called a immune system you wouldn't have issues/

[Editor5899]

@SeattleLA Food is AMAZING

I work at a Taco Time in Washington state. They don't mention the stores in Australia on the wiki page.

There's like 5 Taco Times here in Vancouver.

Oh, and the slogan I remember so well, "Any time is Taco Time."
