If you excluded the failed ones that opened up in Sydney the 1980,s. For the most part they are in the residential areas of South East QLD, Sydney, Melbourne and Perth, not really places any traveler or tourist would normally need to go to. Haymarket in Sydney been one notable exception. I go past one here in Brisbane quite often, though have never stopped and tried it.

I think the best TB menu in the US was in the 90's. 7 layer burritos, Steak soft taco Supremes & Enchiritos. The Mexican pizza,prior to the deletion of all the yummy toppings, was truly something to relish. I love the grilled versions of burritos they serve now and the cinnabons. The cinnamon rocks as a finish to your meal. Of course, the cinnabons are a great sugar rush any time! Thank you for sharing this video. I always wonder what "Mexican McDonalds" is like elsewhere.

My favorite Mexican-esque food item is not sold by taco bell....crunchy flour tacos. In my town, we have taco tico and taco shop chains that do offer crunchy flour tacos....but they don't deliver like taco bell does.

Yes there is a Taco bill near me - its not great but it may depend on the franchise you go to. Its known largely for their fishbowl margeritas (it is what it says - a fishbowl of margerita) and a cute sombrero hat that comes with it when you order it. Taco Bill is more of a sit down mexican restaurant and not a fast food and the food felt very microwaved last time i went there and you dont feel well afterwards.

Criminal not to highlight the creamy jalepeno sauce. Best item on the menu

i love these videos, but they also miss the how custom some of the orders can be. Chicken chalupa or steak versions of certain items are real game changers flavorwise

I wouldn't really trust the weights of everything. Just because the spec is the standard, most employees don't follow the spec so your weights will definitely vary depending on store, on location and on employee. I was famous for my "fork n knife" burrito when i worked at a Taco Bell. It was so big and so out of spec that you needed a fork and knife to eat it! (Unless you wanted all the toppings to fall out the bottom when you eat it with your hands!)

Taco Bill has been around in Victoria for decades. They are okay, not fast food though. They are a restaurant (maybe they do delivery now). They are more famous for their margaritas (including the fish bowl margarita, which I think is about two litres). I used to go to Taco Bill, but there are better places to go now.

Taco Bell Australia is trying to be a little upscale. The one in Prahran has alcohol and live music. Which one would I rather eat? American TB. We don’t have refried beans here, just black beans. I found that AUS TB was bland. It’s not 5 star by any means, but when I went back to US I was much more pleased by the cheap and cheerful TB flavour.

Aussie prices are a lot 😮 In the UK there are box deals for much less, there's one with a burrito, taco, fries, 2 churros and a drink for £8.50. It's probably some of the cheapest chain fast food for the quantity you get, I reckon

Personally if I’m in the mood for Mexican, I’m getting Guzman y Gomez - I just had their nachos Thursday for lunch. I’d like to try Taco Bell, just because but the nearest one is probably 4 hours from me

We do have authentic Mexican restaurants, but not necessarily more authentic Mexican chains/fast food. Where I live in Melbourne we have a decent sized Latin American community, some beginning in the 70s/80s and over 30% having moved here in the last five years. Most people are from Colombia, Chile, Argentina, and Brazil, with some (but not as many) people from Mexico. I don’t think our Mexican food would be more authentic that states in the American southwest, considering their proximity to Mexico, and that they used to be part of the country. Australia is really good at authentic cultural food, particularly Asian, better than the UK or anywhere I’ve travelled in Europe. But there are some ingredients which aren’t very common here so it would be more difficult to get authentic Mexican food. If I want Mexican then I won’t get fast food, I’ll go to a good restaurant or generally just eat at home. I get food from Guzman y Gomez very often, but like Taco Bell in the US, I’m not expecting authentic food as I usually get the nacho fries. GyG is really good food, we go there because most of the food is gluten free and the only place my partner (who is coeliac) has not gotten sick from gluten contamination. Zombrero have decent burritos, I haven’t been to Mad Mex or Taco Bill in years but they’re okay. I thought Taco Bell wasn’t in Australia, I’ve never seen one and don’t know anyone who’s been before.

I think the NZ menu is pretty similar to the Australian menu. Honestly the menu is pretty small and just meh here. I don't get why we don't get some of the popular USA menu items
