Good news for Taco Bell fans in Bangkok

[Curt1591]

Many of the Thai takes on Western fast food have been surprising good. I haven't tried Thailand Taco Bell yet. 

Although Stateside Taco Bell isn't too bad, it will do for satisfying the munchies, I really can't understand anyone praising it or worrying that Thailand will screw it up.

You think Taco Bell's newest location is crazy? Burger King put a store in a Caltex gas stop, off Ratchadapisek, in Prachachuen! Talk about the middle of nowhere!

Don't get your hopes up if you've got your heart set on beef and refried beans.

The new location is not crazy but I think it shows they want to develop in the future their home brewed Thailand Taco Bell formula/restaurants away from from the farangs/Thais who have complained relentlessly on TripAdvisor  Facebook and social media about them straying far away from the original Taco Bell menu/formula........The vast majority of Thais have never had a Taco so would not know the difference.....

 

I still dont get why they absolutely 100% 1000% refuse to sell even one product with beans.....

Although I haven't met them all, I have yet to meet a Thai who likes beans, other than stink beans. 

My wife, who loves Mexican food, prefers to do without them.

Red bean is popular. But, the "bean" always seems to simply be a matrix for all the added sweetener.

Love this movie. Makes me want to watch it again.

We passed the Mercury Ville Taco Bell at lunchtime on a weekday last week and on entering the shopping centre there were four guests all seated at one table.  We left Mercury Ville ten minutes later and the place was completely deserted.

 

Had it been busy and hence more inviting then we would have had lunch there but the sheer lack of customers told its own story.

Interesting. This location had lines out the door for months recently when it first opened.

I'm sure some fellow posters can confirm that my eyesight isn't playing games on me.  Perhaps the repeat custom has dissipated?
