I'm not a troll. But where I live, Mexican food does not exist except
in the "Old El Paso" section of the grocery store where one can buy
taco kits and such.
I just looked it up, and there are only two "Mexican" restaurants in
the area, and they are about a one-hour drive from my house.

I've been to Lone Star once, but never the Taco Bell. I think I had
fajitas, and my DH had something else that had beans in it.
