`I Liked Taco Bell's U.S. Taco Co. ...Until I Went There`

`So, when I found out that U.S. Taco Co. -- Taco Bell's attempt at cornering the more well-to-do market -- opened in downtown Huntington Beach this week, I messaged my editor, and asked if I could review it, and then I got ready.

I got ready to head down to Huntington Beach and enjoy myself. Sure, the clientele were going to be ******y. I would probably have to pay for parking. The food would be overpriced, the employees judgmental, and the décor would undoubtedly scream "2 hip 4 u" harder than a Bushwick DJ loft. But in spite of all that, I was ready to defend the place because I firmly believe that what matters is that food tastes good -- food isn't sacred, it doesn't have to be healthy, and it doesn't owe you anything except its flavor, and I already had a whole bunch of diatribes ready about who cares that tacos don't traditionally include gravy or fried chicken. I was ready to defend U.S. Taco Co.

But then I went to U.S. Taco Co.`

Taco Bell by any other name is still Taco Bell. Which means it is basically shit on a stick. Or on a taco, as the case may be.
Taco Bell, McDonalds, Burger King and the like appeal to the lowest common denominator. Namely those who don't care what they eat, as long as it is cheap.
There is no reason why anyone in Southern California should be eating pseudo Mexican food when so much of the genuine item is available.
