Famous Taco
Various Locations
Famous Taco occupies the space between fast-food burrito joints like El Oasis or Taco Bell, and sit down restaurants like El Azteco, Chevy’s or Chi Chi’s. It’s the typical northern rendition of Mexican food that features plenty of unseasoned meat, cheese, and lettuce. If you want spice, you can dip into the salsa on the side or have a bite of Spanish rice. Famous Taco is nothing spectacular, but if you want a quick, sit-down Mexican meal, it’s a good place to start. Sort of like the Denny’s of Mexican food. $10 for a larger than average burrito with beans and rice.
