Okay, so what was/is the taco restaurant near Leicester Square? Not the big Mex restaurant ON Leicester Square (Chichi's??) but I felt sure there was taco fast food joint on the corner of Cranbourne and Irving Sts. Convinced of it in fact. Maybe it went at the same time as Wendy's. I didn't eat there but passed it often enough.

Well it's better than Whitecastle!

Personally I'd like to see In-N-Out and Chipotle in the UK :ohmy:

Chipotle are on testing the water over here as well. I must admit I think they are the best of the chain fast food outlets in the US.

You think? But if we're going down that route, I haven't even started on the chicken in Taco Bell's stuff yet...

Look up a recipe for Mexican food. Make it. Don't go to Taco Bell.
 
wasn't there a Taco Bell near Leicester Square in the mid '80s?
