        Taco Bell is definitely not real Mexican food! That’s why I specified “fake” lol

          Even in more traditional Mexican restaurants in the US where the staff obviously grew up in Mexico, if you ask right (in Spanish!) the staff will admit they don’t eat there because it isn’t authentic.

      Not really many mexican immigrants here so mexican food isn’t that big either. mexican food here is something you do at home for weekdays and it is often wheat tortillas with ground beef spiced with a ready made spice packet, salsa from a jar, perhaps also fake quacamole from a jar, cheese, french cream or often a local similar lower fat diary product i don’t know the name of in english, onion tomato and lettuce, sometimes also ketchup. Living in finland in my city there are taco bells(never tried and never will) and like 1 decent mexican restaurant(not authentic mexican but still actually good)

      That’s why they had to re-film the taco Bell scene in demolition man for the European release
