Is Taco Bell opening more restaurants in Mexico because they think Mexican food is not authentic enough?

MEXICO CITY - It sounds like a fast-food grudge match: Taco Bell is taking on the homeland of its namesake by reopening for the first time in 15 years in Mexico.

Defenders of Mexican culture see the chain’s re-entry as a crowning insult to a society already overrun by U.S. chains from Starbucks and Subway to Kentucky Fried Chicken.

“It’s like bringing ice to the Arctic,” complained pop culture historian Carlos Monsivais.

    Taco Bell is opening restaurants in Mexico so that visiting Americans have some Mexican food they can recognize.

    No. I’ve been to a Taco Bell on the Texas/Mexico border and it was much better than the ones we have in the middle of the state.

    Well, we have “American Food” restaurants everywhere (McDonalds et.al.) so why not put Taco Bell all over Mexico and Panda Express all over China.

    Does McDonald’s open more restaurants in the U.S. because they think the burgers that everyone else sells aren’t original enough? No, it’s just a cheap, fast food restaurant.

    Not that this is a religion question, but Taco Bell food is very different from authentic Mexican food.

    Hmm. I thought all the illegals were coming to America BECAUSE of Taco Hell, I mean Bell.

    I think it is America’s attempt to keep them in their own damn country.

    Look….we’ll bring you Taco Bell! Stay in your own f*cking country!

    It’s so that American tourists can enjoy the “Mexican” food they are used to.

    Besides, are there any true Mexican fast food restaurants? It’s a whole other market that the existing restaurants are not catering to. If real Mexican restaurants offer fast food, Taco Bell will be out of business in no time.

    Well they finally went south of the USA like the commericals, I would think they would be good paying jobs In MX. Thus this could help with illegal immigration they will stay at home and have jobs.

    It is not for the Mexican people, it is for the americans on vacation who miss US food.
