Tacos sin la cucaracha por favor!
I just had them the other week at Taco Bell.. bit light on the cinnamon, but certainly for the price of say $5.99, and getting the big box of goodies, I wasn't complaining..

I have never heard of Taco Time. I guess because they have so few locations in the US.

Higher quality than Taco Bell imo..
Must have been ugly seeing a roach over your taco meat.. Did it just crawl on, or was it served already in it?

if you want to avoid food places with roaches, i would recommend you visit almost every restaurant at about 9-10am, before they have the roach control people in. also, if you can get in before sunrise, and flip on some lights, you will find serious roach counts in almost every restaurant.

It certainly isn't a problem in every restaurant. There is no reason a restaurant that is well managed should have any more insect problems than a home kitchen. You get bugs when food is left out, surfaces, floors etc are not cleaned of food debris, and things like walls are not maintained properly. Restaurants should be on top of those things anyway, regardless of insect problems.

LOL. I wasn't my taco meat yet. I just walked out before ordering. It was crawling over the meat then scattered when one of the taco assemblers came near. The guy had to have seen it, but he didn't react in a way that indicated surprise. I guess he was used to seeing them.
I guess Roach is the ingredient of the day.. stay healthy..

Yeah, it was crawling over the meat that they keep in bowls that workers use to assemble the tacos. They always say there are at least ten roaches for every one you see.

These ones, of course!
Actually, as well as the name, they are rather tasty, and do a very good parsnip crisp as well. However, my current favourite has to be these:
as sold by my local coffee shop. They also do a fantastic root veg crisp packet - parsnip, beetroot and carrot. If we're allowed non root-veg-based crisps, then these are wonderful, but irritatingly hard to find:
