Nothing about it makes much sense.

The food is barely Mexican. Waffle taco? No chorizo? Heck, Whataburger's breakfast menu is more Mexican-themed than this dog's breakfast of choices.
Logistically, I ended up having to wait 3-4 minutes for my food, where McDonald's can throw it at me as I'm pulling up to the second window.
They have to staff for 7 AM openings from a crew that previously was oriented to working graveyard shifts.

IMO, they should just be offering the full menu from 7 AM, rather than messing with these off-the-wall items. That would be a differentiating entry into the AM market.

I guess Taco Bell has indeed entered into the Calgary market with their extensive brekkie menu.

I may have to go down and try one of these days. No Taco Bell around me though, so I'll have to drive out of the way.
