Some things are just better when you are drunk as a skunk...like sex and taco bell. luis m is not so open about slapping his penis around just anywhere so needless to say it's more often than not a night with taco bell after a good bender.
From the time I first moved out here to the Bay Area I knew about this Taco Bell being *the spot* for late night drunken grub. After a Thursday night at Menconis many people would migrate over to this Taco Bell, order their food, and then continue the party in the parking lot. This really was the happening spot in Union City after 2am. Not only where they open late but they were pretty generous with the *stuff*.
True story, I once got ripped at Menconis and apparently was brought to this Taco Bell in order to acquire life saving nourishment. I woke up the next morning with taco bell wrappers strewn about the bed and a pretty sweet hangover. I peered over the edge of my bed and what do I see? A still wrapped grilled stuft burrito! In my half concious stupor I reached down for it then rolled back in bed and ate it while still laying down. It was probably the most tasty burrito I have ever eaten from Taco Bell. After finishing the burrito off I pulled the covers over my head, went back to sleep, and then woke up feeling fine a few hours later. Never, not once, have I ever woken up after a night at Menconis and had a girl magically lying in bed next to me but Taco Bell...oh precious Taco Bell.
Some of luis m's favorite items at Taco Bell...
Mexican Pizza - more like a tostada with crispy fried flour tortillas, I love how a fake mexican food joint has a fake italian food item! the cheese factor on this item is pretty sweet. a nice melted blend of cheddar, pepperjack, and mozzarella that forms a protective seal on top of the *pizza*
Enchirito - Taco Bells version of an enchilada. once upon a time this was their bean burrito with the red sauce poured all over it and a healthy amount of melted cheddar cheese on top. now they apparently include beef in the mix, which is fine with me. add sour cream, but make sure they put it on the inside, not on top.
Nachos Bellgrande - It's a big plate of nachos! extra sour cream is good.
Taco Supreme - the taco supreme used to come with a bigger taco shell in addition to having extra *stuff* in it. the best way to order it is without any produce, just cheese, sour cream, and *beef*.
Bean Burrito - this is a classic. the beans, the red sauce, the cheese, THE ONIONS! add sour cream
1/2 Pound Beef Combo Burrito - this is a new favorite. It's pretty hearty without being too much. It's great when they add a generous amount of the red sauce. extra sour cream is a must!
Chili Cheese Burrito (Chilito) - it's rare to find these nowadays so if you see it on your favorite Taco Bell's menu please let me know. As the name implies it's a no-bean chili cheese stuffed burrito. great with a dollop of sour cream! Taco Bell stopped calling this item the *Chilito* because it turned out to be hispanic slang for a tiny penis.
p.s. Thank you Jennifer R for helping me find this Taco Bell's address, since it doesn't show up on the Yelp map or Google Maps! read more
