Taco Bell Costa Rica
There are quite a few Taco Bell Restaurants in Costa Rica, mostly around the Great Metropolitan Area (San José, Alajuela, Heredia, Cartago) and they offer fries as well. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.197.172.148 (talk) 19:49, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

I haven't looked up information to cite, but I lived in Costa Rica last summer and I ate a 2 different Taco Bell restaurants near San Pedro. They had fries and make a Crunchwrap Supreme with chicken. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Joewrong (talk • contribs) 17:43, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

100% American
Taco Bell specializes in Mexican-American style food and American-style Mexican food. The article incorrectly describes the American products distributed by Taco Bell as "Mexican". It would be more accurate to describe them as an all-American type of Mexican-American food. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.255.234.37 (talk) 22:07, 21 February 2010 (UTC)

Adobe Facade
I think my dad helped come up with the "adobe" brick facade during a economic downturn in the early 60s. - Sparky (talk) 23:21, 21 February 2010 (UTC)

Taco Bell Shootings
It has been a recent turn of events where some dumbasses shot up a local Taco Bell in Grand Rapids,MI. The stupid assholes shot the fuck out of the place and didn't rob it. I blame Urbana.

I'm not certain this is Encyclopedia worthy. If so, we may have to list every Taco Bell robbery or violent disturbance ... which probably woulndn't exceed 5,000 incidents world-wide. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.86.230.202 (talk) 20:35, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

controversy
taco bell changed their refried beans a bit ago and didnt seem to tell anyone. many people have complained about the new dirt-like flavor and stopped eating there. worth noting? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.54.90.61 (talk) 01:50, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

Can you cite a reference, or should we put the reference as "User 208.54.90.61's memory"? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.86.230.202 (talk) 20:32, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

Taco Bell's Mexican Pizza are known to contain silicone dioxide,also known as sand.Silicone dioxide is put in the beef to keep the meat from clumping together during processing. NellzBellz (talk) 18:58, 16 June 2010 (UTC)NellzBellz

Just found an annoying problem in this section. After the part about the Taco Bell in Greenwich Village that was infested with rats, it says "The outbreak has caused the closings of several Taco Bells in the Northeast". This does not make sense at all, it was copied and pasted from the article, but the article was referring to the e. coli outbreak that took place at several taco bells months before. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Timjohn2 (talk • contribs) 00:07, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

Official UK website
http://www.tacobelluk.co.uk

I read on this legal forum that they are pressuring the owner of tacobell.co.uk to turn it over, so the official domain may change if the courts rule in TB's favor. http://www.justanswer.com/questions/3hv2u-dear-sirs-it-seems-that-i-have-registered-a-trademark-well / http://www.justanswer.com/questions/3j4o2-nick-did-you-receive-my-letter-which-i-forwarded-to-you —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.209.100.157 (talk) 14:14, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

What about a "In Popular Culture" section? At least one reference would be the movie Demolition Man, where sometime in the 20-teens (2011-2019) Taco Bell won the franchise war and all resturants were thereafter named Taco Bell. It would have to be left to highly notable references, not just that there was a taco bell in the background of some movie. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.99.65.10 (talk) 15:26, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

Strange wording
"2009 commercials for the "Frutista Freeze" frozen drink feature Snowball, an Eleonora Cockatoo noted for his ability to dance to human music."

...as opposed to cockatoo music...? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.9.234.201 (talk) 16:34, 24 August 2010 (UTC)

Founding and growth section
I made some edits to the section on founding and growth within the history section because it was awkward to read and contained some rather speculative information. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Aardvark23 (talk • contribs) 19:34, 9 September 2010 (UTC)

Domninican Republic section?
"The Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico and Canada are the only countries where Taco Bell offers french fries"

Problem is, Puerto Rico isn't a country, and anyways I'm not sure this is the rightly titled section to talk about a US Territory and Canada. Not much of an editor yet myself so not sure the right way to modify. Cheers 218.185.92.250 (talk) 23:13, 24 March 2010 (UTC)

Also, they aren't the only countries where they offer fries, they have them here in Guatemala too. 190.121.194.167 (talk) 05:03, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

Additionally, on the island of Aruba, they also offer these fries. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.125.102.9 (talk) 12:52, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

Costa Rica
Taco Bell opened its first branch in Costa Rica in 1990. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rodvarmo (talk • contribs) 16:09, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

Terrible article
This article reads like a cleverly disguised attack against Taco Bell. Most articles with a "Controversies" section have that section further down the page. Here, however, it's the second section. Before the "Menu" section. On a page about a restaurant. And the majority of the information on this page is presented in unconnected, trivia-style factoids. The only seemingly fully-fleshed out section is the aforementioned "Controversies" section.

I'm not arguing that we not present any problems created by the subject of this article, but in the land of reality, people go to a Taco Bell to eat cheap tacos, not rail about the degree to which 50 Cent is pissed off. By which I mean: an article should begin by describing what its subject is, its history, and what it's known for, then present controversies it may be involved in. You know, like the overwhelming majority of articles on Wikipedia are written. --Cogniac (talk) 07:17, 30 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Buried by all the human rights and activist minutia, the article mentions nothing about when the chain was sold by Pepsico to Yum!, which was the thing I wanted to know.69.37.2.254 (talk) 06:46, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

Notability versus temporary notability
We must understand the difference between true notability and temporary notability. Even if events are covered by a reliable source, it does not mean they are notable. We must remember that even if an entry is verifiable, it may not be notable. If you look at the notability guidelines for events, you will find that allot of these "controversies" are mainly recentism and would better covered in Wikinews and not in the article itself. I removed several one time incidents that clearly fall under these guidelines and will look into others. --Jeremy (blah blah • I did it!) 17:34, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

Kuwait
Taco Bell opened its first branch in Kuwait (outside of the US Military base) on November 10, 2010 at the Avenues Mall. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 168.187.119.157 (talk) 14:27, 2 December 2010 (UTC)
