About Taco Bell
Taco Bell is a haven for Mexican delicacies such as tacos, quesadillas, burritos, nachos, and other specialty items. Owned by Yum! Brands, Inc. Taco Bell is one of the fastest growing American chains of fast food restaurants. The restaurant operates from 7,072 different locations which are mostly run by independent franchisees and licensees.
The background story of Taco Bell is interesting and inspiring for budding entrepreneurs. The fast-food brand is the brainchild of Glen Bell, who started his first food venture as a hot dog seller in San Bernardino, California. The year was 1948. After witnessing long queues outside a Mexican restaurant called Mitla Café across the street, Bell saw the opportunity and demand for hard-shelled Tacos. He reverse-engineered the recipe and later started selling Tacos and called the venture Taco-Tia.
Later, the name changed from Taco-Tia to El Taco. Eventually, Glen Bell sold the company to his partner and opened the first Taco Bell in Downey in 1962. By 1964, the restaurant also got its first franchise in Torrance. The 100th Taco Bell restaurant was opened by 1965. PepsiCo acquired Taco Bell from Glen Bell in 1978 and the restaurant brand is currently a subsidiary of Yum! Brands which looks after the restaurant business of PepsiCo.

Mexican Cuisine
If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.

Taco Boy is inexpensive, fresh "fast food," but the recipes are homemade. The food is very good and the portion size is great. The taco meat is ground beef that is seasoned and cooked daily. The "green" meat is diced pork that is mixed with green chili sauce. The "red" meat is diced steak with a brown gravy sauce. The refried beans are cooked from scratch, starting with dried beans. And contrary to an earlier review, the enchilada sauce is not canned. It begins with tomato sauce and is prepared in the kitchen! The hot sauce is made from scratch, but the mild is in packets. I can state these facts as a former employee. The prices are great - especially the Wednesday deals, and they have daily specials too. There are many options for vegetarians and the chicken meat is a healthy option. It is marinated with peppers and onions. The food is generally not greasy (of course there is a little from the meats and cheese). As for the styrofoam plates, as I said, it's fast food. If you are looking for a quick bite, don't miss out. The owner is in the process of getting approval for a drive-thru. If you didn't like the item you ordered, try one more time and get something else. At least give it a chance. It's way better than the chain taco fast food; at least it's homemade.

Anyone who has has written a positive review for Taco Boy either 1) was drunk as hell when they went there, or 2) has no idea what decent, or even MEDIOCRE mexican food is. I've been almost everywhere in Mt Pleasant, but I had sort of forgotten about Taco Boy. The girlfriend and I finally decided to head there. We walk into basically an empty knock off of Taco Bell. Their menu, which basically doesn't explain anything, was tough to work through and pretty tough to figure out what we wanted. Just no explanation of what was what or what things came with. Finally, I ordered the super wet burrito. Ground beef, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and sauce over the top. What I ended up with was probably the worst thing I've ever had. Ground beef was completely under-seasoned - it had literally no flavor. Anddd, that's about it, since the whole thing is based on the beef. Of course the lettuce and tomatoes and onions had nothing wrong with them - they're raw vegetables! The burrito is covered in some sort of canned tasting enchilada sauce, and the burrito was clearly microwaved. Once I got towards the center, it was hardly warm. My girlfriend ordered some sort of combo meal that came with a taco, tostada, and beans. What came out literally looked like wet cat food on a plate. The refried beans, clearly right out of a can. Again, the beef was bland and the cheese looked disgusting. So, a super wet burrito, a nasty combo, and a regular pop for nearly $17.00!!!!! I could have gotten just as much, if not more food, and BETTER food at Taco Bell. I will never, ever come back to this place. The fact that they're still in business and people go here is sad. Oh, and one other thing before I end my review - I understand this is supposed to be a "locally" owned version of mexican fast food, but come on!! What kind of mexican places doesn't have sour cream!?!?!?!?! No tubs of it, no sides of it - what I got was a plastic packet of it that you would get in the Middle School cafeteria. Anddddd they charged $0.35/packet. Unbelievably disappointing.

Great cheap tacos from homemade recipes. Regarding the reviews that compare it to Taco Bell, I question your culinary exposure. Maybe you have been raised on Taco Bell and consider that food, but to knock other people and tell them they don't know what good food is when you are eating Taco Bell's 35% meat should demonstrate your culinary expertise; or that the "meat tastes funny" maybe because its real, and not oats and soy? Taco Boy makes cheap, great food. They have a menu different from the other taco chains (thankfully) so don't expect the same. It is not authentic Mexican food; it is the American version. I have had just about one of everything on the menu, and I enjoyed everything so far. It is a bargain for good food. Try it on one of their deal days (Mondays and Wednesdays) where many items (tacos, tostadas, small drinks, beans, rice, chips, and cinnamon snaps) are $1.05.

Literally the worst "restaurant" I have ever been to. I guess this could be considered authentic Mexican food if you lived in the slums and had to eat from a dumpster. The flour tortillas are a soggy mess because literally every thing is cooked in the microwave by someone still striving to get their GED. Avoid at all costs unless you have a taste for burnt turds. If taco boy was a real person I would punch him in the face, take his lunch money, and go buy some real Mexican food.

On the advice of a local, I decided to stop here for dinner when I was in town. It was a Saturday and they had a "Saturday Wet Burrito Special" so that's what I ordered. The ground beef inside the burrito had a weird texture and tasted like it was hardly seasoned. I was grateful for the onions inside because they were the only real flavor going on here. The burrito was ginormous but mediocre. The sauce they smother it in was canned enchilada sauce and actually had a sugary flavor to it. Yuck-o! Should have gone to Taco Bell instead of Taco Boy!

We ordered take out here on our way back from the lake. I ordered the chicken quesadilla with spicy green sauce...what a mistake! I was expecting a crispy flour tortilla with a nice melted cheese and chunks of chicken with some sort of green spicy sauce (figure it would be the green tamatillo sauce). What I got was a warm flour tortilla, soft, filled with bland cheese and somewhere swimming in that mess was a few pieces of chicken. Nothing else. Maybe it was a cheese burrito? Either way, couldn't eat it after 2 bites. My wife liked the hard shell beef tacos though. She said they were flavorful and fresh.

Back again this year for the holidays and managed to fit 2 trips to Taco Boy in during our 4 days in Mt Pleasant. Some things remain the same - Taco Boy is one. I've been eating here for over 20 years, bean and cheese with sour cream and 10 mild sauces is still my favorite. Also love the super veggie wet burrito with extra onions, sour cream, and extra extra homemade hot sauce.
(4)Tara L.
Oh how I miss your wet burritos even living in NYC. Taco Boy and Stan's in Mt Pleasant are two of my must go to restaurants when I am back in town. I like their wet burrito with both beef and beans and black olives on top. Put a little hot sauce on that and I am in heaven :)
(4)Dustin J.
Taco Boy is nothing special, but the food is good. Gotta love the Super Wet. My roommates and I used to make it a point to go get a wet burrito here every once in awhile.
(4)Kayla B.
The best wet burritos ever!!! I love this place. Although the address they have on here is wrong. It is on Mission St. Pretty close to on the corner of mission and high streets. Nice employees =)
(4)Jennifer M.
The food here is reasonably priced, after all this is a college town. The mini wet burrito is plenty big and very good. Their tacos are delicious as well as their tamales. I highly recommend this place. They are very quick to prepare the food, and carry out is also an option.
(5)Jalen G.
I found the food to be utterly disgusting and vomit inducing. When ordering nachos be aware that off-brand tortilla chips are plucked from a plastic bag and discarded on a styrofoam plate then drizzled in shredded Walmart cheese and microwaved on high.
