Mexican food has become one of the most popular cuisines in America, and in the chain restaurant sphere, there are two spots that absolutely dominate. While burgers still dominate the lists of largest chain restaurants in the U.S., for years, the "international" food that the country couldn't get enough of was Italian. Propped up by pizza's enduring popularity, it was the food Americans ordered most, and it still is, but Mexican restaurants have been rising rapidly, and Mexican has already overtaken Italian with younger generations.

Irish restaurants may be struggling amid soaring costs, but a growing number of giant American chains - including Popeyes, Wing Stop and Wendy's - are opening outlets here. So what's behind the US fast food boom? It has been a fortnight since Ireland's first outpost of Taco Bell opened, but the queues remain lengthy. Such has been the demand for the Mexican-inspired American fast-food chain that a canopy has been erected outside its door at the big new Applegreen service station outside Dunshaughlin, Co Meath.

The creamy condiment was much like a spicy nacho cheese sauce. There's no word yet on if and when Lava Sauce will come back for good, but Taco Bell still sells gooey cups of nacho cheese that can be ordered on the side and poured over any item. Add some heat from two or three packets of Taco Bell's Fire sauce, and you have a Lava Sauce taste-alike for under two dollars.

That's right, nowadays the Soft Taco Supreme falls squarely on the list of overpriced fast food items to avoid. Prices, in general, have gone up at Taco Bell quite a bit in the past few decades, but the current price for the Soft Taco Supreme stands out as a bit ridiculous. A standard soft taco from the chain features a flour tortilla stuffed with seasoned ground beef, lettuce, and shredded cheese, and goes for around $1.89 these days.

Taco Bell's value menu would break the internet today, but even among the secret menu items, some discontinued products have Taco Bell lovers dreaming of days past. In the 1990s, instead of tacos or nachos served alongside any combo meal, sides of tater tots flavored with taco seasoning was offered as a choice to hungry customers. Known as Mexi-nuggets, these savory bite-sized pieces livened up the palate in between bites of Taco Bell meals.

Of all the great American fast food chains, Taco Bell is by far the most vegetarian-friendly. Knowing most barely offer a single option aside from salad and fries (with McDonald's being the exception), you may think that's not saying much. While you are right, Taco Bell goes above and beyond all expectations at the drive-thru by providing the possibility of making anything on its menu vegetarian, or even vegan.

I loved the crispy tortilla base, which added crunch to every bite, and thought the beef was nicely seasoned and tasted delicious. I also enjoyed the fresh tomatoes on top and was a huge fan of the pizza sauce. I only wish the beef and beans had been more evenly distributed. While the slices I ate had plenty of beef, my parents - who were also trying Mexican Pizza for the first time - said they could only taste the beans.

"We're learning a lot, I'm going to be honest with you," Taco Bell chief digital and technology officer Dane Mathews conceded to the Wall Street Journal , in what sounded like an awfully weary tone. The response on social media suggests that most customers probably don't want their drive-thru to "surprise" them. At best, there 's short-lived amusement in messing with the AI with outrageous requests, like "18,000 cups of water." At worst, customers just get annoyed or weirded out .

"We're learning a lot, I'm going to be honest with you," Mathews told the WSJ.

one manager said they'd never order steak - even at their own restaurant - and that their employees refer to the meat as "deer ankles." In another thread, a diner posted a photo of a steak quesadilla that looked decidedly unappetizing. They asked if Taco Bell had changed its steak, since the texture didn't even resemble the meat anymore. The user complained that it was extremely salty and had a consistency more like roast beef.

Ordering hacks at Taco Bell reveal ways to enjoy meals for less by creatively swapping menu items. For example, mimicking the Beefy 5-Layer Burrito is possible by modifying a Cheesy Bean and Rice Burrito for only $2.79 total, translating to a savings of $2.20 compared to the original.

The bottled sauces are made with slightly different ingredients and produced by a third-party distributor, affecting the taste when compared to restaurant packets.

The Miami-Dade police reported that the attack was unprovoked, occurring late at night at a Taco Bell parking lot in Kendall, highlighting concerns about public safety.

Taco Bell has partnered with Tony Hawk for a promotion involving the launch of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3+4, featuring a new Build Your Own Luxe Cravings Box.

We are really excited to announce this partnership to launch the iconic Taco Bell brand in Ireland," said Seamus Stapleton, Managing Director of Applegreen's Republic of Ireland business.
