I love Taco Time.

It is a Pacific Northwestern tex-mex fast food restaurant, and it is old enough that it largely predates things like “flavor”.

Taco Time food is not good food, not in my opinion.

It’s reliably a little disappointing, but - not …bad.

That’s hard to put words to: that combination of microwaved beef and super mild hot sauce is exactly the right thing, sometimes. I think it just hits a nostalgic note with me. I like it because I liked it when I was a kid.

I do also think that it has always, always been better than Taco Bell, although that is the worlds lowest bar.
