What I find difficult to believe is that, while the Old El Paso range
of Tex/Mex food sells very strongly in British supermarkets, people
haven't taken to Taco Bell at all. The previous UK incarnation of the
chain did poorly and all the outlets closed after a few years.

If only three new ones have been opened in the last two years, it is
probably a sign that Taco Bell isn't taking off - again.

Also a pity that Quick and particularly Wendy's didn't last here.
On-topic, it's probably best that Casey Jones joined them.


I often ate at the Wendy's in West Ealing. At the time - mid to late
80s - Wendy's was bigger than McDonald's. I don't know if that is
still the case, but it seems odd that McDonald's is such a success
here and Wendy's wasn't.

The irony is that, if Taco Bell traded as "Old El Paso", it would
probably do extremely well here in the UK.


Perhaps they will come out under a different brand name?


More likely they will close again. I must go to one before that
happens. ;-)
