Mighty Taco vs. Taco Bell

[jaymitch84]

I think the answer is already clear, but I just want to see if everyone else thinks so...

[HURLS]

Ya, the retarded Buffalo people say MT and their grayish meat, normal people take a chalupa and have a good day.

Man, I grew up on Taco Bell (since I'm not from the Buffalo area)... but first time I was taken to a Mighty in Orchard Park... I was sold.

[sukie]

I always liked MT at 3am. other than that I liked Collosso Taco in Tonawanda. Good ground cow ass and snout.

[HURLS]

Ever actually opened a taco up? Wonder why the "meat" is grayish? Mighty taco lasted about 1 yr here. See ya!! TB merged with KFC and rocks.

And BTW, Elmwood Sub and Taco blows both of them away.

[nehemiah]

colasso taco is da bomb for pizza roll-ups.

otherwise it's MIGHTY TACO!!

[smashingt2312]

Yeah, when your drunk mighty is the way to go, for mexican food at least.

Jims Steakout drunk or sober >>>>>> Mighty Taco


As for me, Taco Bell. Way more variety, not even because some are with KFCs, just their quesadillas, crunch wrap surpremes(my favorite) and stuff like that, its great.

I totally agree. When drunk in B-Lo, if Jim's is nearby, a must hit. Otherwise Bonzannas on the way home. Never MT.

[Sabres244]

the 19 years of living here, and all the Mighty Taco and wings is finally taking it's toll on my system.......but Mighty Taco is good every once in a while

Yeah Jim's Steakout is way up there too, but i dont live close to any of their locations, and the closest place to me is mighty, which is open 24 hours.

What the **** is Mighty Taco?

Sounds like a rubbish Taco Bell.

[Sabres244]

actually its puts Taco Bell to shame

[HURLS]

actually its puts Taco Bell to shame

Actually, it doesn't. There are MT's closing 'cuz they suck. There are TB's expanding and merging with KFC. You know KFC, home of the non-gray meat.

[JoeMama]

Hey look, I'm not crazy about Taco Bell, or any fast food for that matter.

But Mighty Taco sounds like a rubbish ripoff of Taco Bell.

Same as Del Taco in California.

One thing I'll give Taco Bell is that they make a mean ass Supreme Hard Taco.

Those shits are good.

[BabaGanoush]

Mighty Taco could be saved if they came up with something similar to the Crunchwrap Supreme...

[HURLS]

Yep, the Gray-"Meat" surprise. Never know what animal it came from. What a surprise.

[JoeMama]

Baba, I'm with you, brother.

Give me Jon Stewart & Stephen Colbert for prez any day of the week.

[Woody]

Mighty Taco for the win. It's one of the first places I go to when I visit home. Mighty Taco with a case of Blue is Heavenly Peace. :niterider

[Mouldsie]

arbee, BanditsRock11, and Hurls are terrorists

[Sabres244]

Don't get me started on KFC, its probably not even chicken...

[LVBillsfan]

Guys, this isn't even real Mexican, just America's watered down version of it. You want real Mexican you have to find these little family owned holes in the wall. They're everywhere here in Arizona, and they blow away the fast food franchises! But since you are in Buffalo, you might have to look a little harder. :)

[HURLS]

Cozumels

[BillyT92679]

I voted the Bell because, for as much as I like Mighty, I can't get how they don't have guacamole.

[HURLS]

So someone explain that? No guac? That's like no mustard on a hot dog. Also, what are the good items at MT, besides the gray-meat special? TB has so many you forget all the goodies.

[Dontdieman]

Ya, the retarded Buffalo people say MT and their grayish meat, normal people take a chalupa and have a good day.




The only gray meat ive seen is between your moms legs.

[ThomasVanek]

Hurls is probably an ex-Mighty Taco employee fired for splooging in the sour cream.

Mighty Taco on Sheridan and Delaware is the best Mighty Taco in Buffalo...I love that one.

[Mouldsie]

BillyT92679 is the newest bastard child to join the infidels.... led by Abu Al-Hurls I guess.

[pmoon6]

Actually, it doesn't. There are MT's closing 'cuz they suck. There are TB's expanding and merging with KFC. You know KFC, home of the non-gray meat.Just so you know, KFC and Taco Bell have been owned by Pepsico for 20 years.

[HURLS]

Just so you know, KFC and Taco Bell have been owned by Pepsico for 20 years.

No shit, but it's been in the last few years they put the TB and the KFC in the same building. At least here. Nice attempt at proving me wrong tho.

What are you talking about? I only see more and more popping up. Taco bell is not horrible but give me a MT chicken Fajita and day you Buffalo HATER! :D

[Scary Good]

Taco Bell is a joke.

Thats all there really is to know.

[Mouldsie]

I cant beleive that Hurls, in an attempt to knock Mighty, raises Taco Bell and KFC as being good food/meat......

They all suck as far as quality of food, but give me mighty any day of the week and twice on weekends at 2 am!

[pmoon6]

No shit, but it's been in the last few years they put the TB and the KFC in the same building. At least here. Nice attempt at proving me wrong tho.I wasn't trying to prove you wrong, just pointing it out. Maybe they are designing stores like that to get more franchise dollars.

I haven't had a Mighty Taco since the '70's when they just had the store on Bailey and one on Hertel and even then I only bought the bean and cheese burritos. ( They called them burritos back then, but were really soft tacos ) I never liked the ground mystery meat at either place. I know Buffalo doesn't have many, but if you want decent Mexican fare, go to a restaurant. Head and shoulders above the fast food places.

[Woody]

Both establishments are good.. especially for drunks who are looking for some rubbish to eat. I don't think either establishment was designed to cater to true Mexican cuisine connoisseurs. :niterider

[sukie]

MT used to have a burrito that had big cubes of steak in them... still do?

[SweetLee8 3PlayaWha?]

We have Del Taco here and it's not very good ish.

I am 6'3 170 yet eat Taco Bell damn near every day and somehow have low cholesterol. Go figure.

I've never had Mighty Taco, so I cant comment, but my brother was in Buffalo this past winter for the Denver game and told me our cousin "wished he could get some taco bell but it was like half hour away."

I've lived alot of places and there's always been a Taco Bell within a mile or so.

Whats the deal?

[SweetLee8 3PlayaWha?]

Your cousin needs to start accepting Mighty into his heart and find piece with the 2 am munchie run.


Basically Taco Bell can't compete in Buffalo because it has no chance against Mighty. Theres one near UB for all the freakin Long Islanders and out-of-staters but thats about it.


***wow i said piece

[SweetLee8 3PlayaWha?]

Dude, Jimmy loves Mighty taco, he was just curious.

[Sabres244]

the bottom line is you end up on the crapper for a long period of time a fews hours after eating both...

[Sabres244]

if we were to compare which one gave worse shits Taco Bell easily...

[GvilleBill]

When I go home, I hit Rocko's Tacos. Good fish taco, and I hate fish tacos (from the restaurant,anyway).

[pmoon6]

if we were to compare which one gave worse shits Taco Bell easily...+1
The last two times I had ate TB, I was on the toilet 15 minutes later. That's when I stopped going there even though the wife likes it. I'm guessing but I think they use an Olestra type product to cook with. It gives you the fat flavor without the calories so their nutritional info looks good. The only bad thing about Olestra is it runs through quickly....very quickly in this case.

[35Pete]

Have had authentic Mexican in Mexico City several times. No comparison. The Mexicans trash us when it comes to their own food.

But give me a MT at 2am, no, give me 3 Super Mighties and an order of nachos and I am happier than a pig in shit.

Grey meat? That is bad? Compared to the hot dog you are eating?

[pmoon6]

I prefer Tex-Mex at a good restaurant to authentic Mexican, but it's all good.

[GvilleBill]

All a hot dog is is rolled up bologna. I figured that one out one night drunk adn hallucinating in college.

Canes suck more..

I am a USF alumni but a HUGE FSU fan.

Neither !!! ........ any Mexican taqueria can beat both of those no problema :D

Hey, what would the Range be without a little ball bustin'? :toast:
believe it or not Pete, but I actually started out as a Nole to try to be different when I was transplanted many years ago. All it took was one trip to the Swamp and I was hooked. Hard to descibe the atmosphere there. Most electric feeling I've had outside of the Ralph (for my $, there is nothing more beutiful than when you come out of the tunnell and see the field.), or when I've been hooked by 240 volts at work... which sucks, by the way.

[35Pete]

AMEN!!!!!

Actually, I believe the first one was on forest, near Elmwood. I frequented the two you mentioned and the Forest one back in the day when they stayed open until 4 AM and served beer!

Taco Bell is horeshit. Mighty Taco forever.

[coastal]

ET&S bitches!

Totally agree.

That is the only thing I order at that place.

[The REAL Sabres]

Everybody except LVBillsFan, Victor, and a little bit of pmoon and Pete sucks!!

Anybody that eats fast Mexican food should be shot.

[Smapdi]

Mighty Taco blows Taco Bell out of the water. There is something about Taco Bell that gives me an upset stomach everytime.

How can you even touch the El Nino Burrito for $3??? The Nachos Supreme are amazing along with the fajitas and their new 3 cheese nacho crunch which is amazing also.

[Rockstar]

I’m not really interested in trying to convert anyone that isn’t loyal to a wonderful Buffalo intuition like Mighty Taco. But I will say this. Every time I go home, the first think I do is get two super mightys with sour cream and jalapeños, and one hard-shell the same way. Before wings, before pizza, before clams at the Boston Hotel I go to Mighty. (by the way pizza in Cleveland, NC, and FL fkin suck!!)
I used to live on Mighty back home. Miss it, love it..
And to quote Jim Rome. I’m out..

[35Pete]

Ft. Lauderdale pizza blows chunks. Worst pizza that I have ever had.

Come have pizza over here.

It is beyond horrible.

I know. I went to USF, remember? Ever had Gumby's Pizza? Bad enough to cause stomach cramps.

[coastal]

Never had gumby's but it really doesn't matter.

Order a pizza over here and its all the same...

Shit!

[TRIPLE P]

I like both..... Mighty is a staple when I'm in the Motherland. Toxic Hell is everywhere, and the cheesy gordita crunch is tha CHRONIC>.....

In college we had Taco Johns..... they had Taco tuesday which I got every tuesday.... two for a dollar beef, cheese, and lettuce tacos..... 6.49 got you 10 tacos and a large coke.... that was sweet.

[35Pete]

I'd give my left nut for a slice of Bocce Club pizza.

[pmoon6]

I'd give my left nut for a slice of Bocce Club pizza.My bother and sister are visiting and brought me 4 half baked Bocce pies. You can buy them online, Pete. They will overnight them, only problem, I think a cheese and pepperoni is 50 bucks. Go to Everything Buffalo.com.

[coastal]

The little pools of grease in the pepperoni......:drool:
I just cam.

[kr632]

taco bell sucks all cold and nasty. jims steak out sucks all plain and no taste(u want steak go to mikes or ikes on bailey when they open) mighty is the best i can eat it every day. ive never seen anything grey in the tacos and i worked there for a while

[35Pete]

The little pools of grease in the pepperoni......:drool:
That's the flavor!

[coastal]

Pete... you ever order a Bocce club and had it delivered to you in Florida?

[35Pete]

Pete... you ever order a Bocce club and had it delivered to you in Florida?
No, have you? I think it would be cold by the time the driver got down here. :D

But man would I love a slice.

[Rockstar]

I'd give my left nut for a slice of Bocce Club pizza.



Mmmmmmm.......... Bocce's

[K-Gun]

They both suck.

The best place in Buffalo for Tex Mex is Lone Star, a little hole in the wall on Hertel towards Main. Can't beat the steak fajitas.

[Sparx]

never heard of mighty taco, but F em! it's all about the nacho cheese chicken chalupa with fire sauce

[SHINEdown30]

I have to say Mighty Taco is by far better. Grey Meat??? Not sure what your talking about. It is better than Taco Bells ground meat that looks like a blob. And don't get me even started on KFC. There is more breading then their is chicken!!
Mighty Taco is popping up everywhere.

If you want taco's but not fast food ones................go to MOE's!!!

[SCBILLFAN1]

Ah the 4 am visits to Mighty Taco were fun. Met some nasty drunk people there. KFC is horrible. The southern ones suck. Bo Jangles or Church's chicken is much better.

[SCBILLFAN1]

Bills will go 0-16 this year.Bills suck azs. Miami 10-6.yeaaaaaa baby.

[Papaduke]

Pepsico is combining a lot of stores, I have seen KFC with A&W, KFC with Long John Silvers, and the grand daddy of them all.. the Kentucky Fried Pizza Bell... KFC, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell all in one location, but in my experience, when they combine franchises, neither the KFC or the Pizza Hut or the Taco Bell (Toxic Bowl for what happens in my toilet) are as good as the stand alone entities.

[SCBILLFAN1]

The previous message was from jerk off Dolphin fan. Please disregard.

[shotgun]

i like both places but can get sick of both places

[JoeMama]

I saw a package that Taco Bell meat came in once.

It said "Grade F but edible".

How ****ed up is that?

[The Buffaslug]

Mighty for the completely obvious win :D

[sabrills70]

For those of us who have left the area - we miss Mighty Taco. Taco Bell is awful. There is nothing better than leaving a Sabres game, going drinking after and then to Mighty Taco.

[bills02138]

My Buffalo/Niagara fast food favorites in no particular order:

1) Mighty Taco
2) Ted's Hotdogs
3) Viola's Subs
4) Hibbard's Custard
5) Charlie the Butcher

[Wojo1203]

Guys, guys, guys....if we r talkin simple fast food "mexican" its Mighty Taco all the way (Small Steak Roastito, Super Mighty, and Jalapeno Poppers). TB always gets me sick...and if ur goin for a real mexican place...COYOTE CAFE in the village of Hamburg is excellent....Jim's Steakout is great as well, only brought it up cause it has been talked about in this thread

[Sabres244]

Collasol Taco took over for me. I had never been there before, but man there is nothing that compares to a stinger taco.

[Wojo1203]

whats a stinger taco!!!!!!!! sounds very hot n spicy, which is what i love....i eat jalapenos for a snack and pour cayenne powder on everything...ooo where is this place too

[Canisius85]

Mighty has changed their recipe or something like that.

The last few times I've been there, it didn't taste the same.

They're still light years ahead of Taco Hell though.

[bozman949]

mighty taco is soooooooo good!

[TRIPLE P]

Last time I had mighty, before the Miami game...I was very disappointed... the meat was really plain.

[Sabres244]

whats a stinger taco!!!!!!!! sounds very hot n spicy, which is what i love....i eat jalapenos for a snack and pour cayenne powder on everything...ooo where is this place too

A stinger is a your basic taco with steak and chicken fingers

[emo]

I'm old enought o remember when mighty taco used dog food for its taco meat, and I remember that there was on on forest just past elmwood towards grant st.

[emo]

lonestar on hertel is really good

[HURLS]

I can't believe this thread's still going.

[jaymitch84]

I can't believe this thread's still going.

Me either. I was shocked to arrive to the Range see this at the top of the pile in the "Buffalo and WNY Life" category.

[D34dm4n]

i like them both but i have to go with taco bell because of the crunch wraps. but my dad recently moved to philly and the first thing he did when he came back to WNY for a bandits game was go to the nearest mighty taco.

[ICRockets]

I think I've gotta go with Taco Bell here, but I don't think it's necessarily a fair comparison, as I've never had Mighty Taco when I was drunk or high.

[D34dm4n]

A stinger is a your basic taco with steak and chicken fingers

that sounds quite tasty.

[BillyT92679]

my favorite Western NY establishment is DiBella's Subs

[Maz]

My Dad and family always hyped up Mighty Taco, so when I got to go I expected great things. It was definetly better then Taco Hell but I wasn't to impressed.

[D34dm4n]

sounds like im gonna have to make a list of these places and check them out sometime.

[shotgun]

i like both but i sent with tacobell because there steak and chicken tast better and u can't beat the crunch wrap surpream

[K-Gun]

Lone Star on Hertle

[Rockstar]

I’m happy to see this thread still alive. When It started I was crashing with my good friend Wagon Circler before I left North Carolina, and funny enough after fourteen months of drunken debauchery, bartending on the ocean in Fl, makin great money and knowin quite a few young ladies there, I am back on this thread once again living with WC and still proudly proclaiming that there is nothing as heavenly as MIGHTY TACO!!
Although I did eat Moe’s tonight and it’s pretty dam good Mexican. Hell, what else am I gonna do? I’m in Georgia now. Mighty is a long walk from here.

[FamousAmos]

What the **** is Mighty Taco?

Sounds like a rubbish Taco Bell.

Booo Joe!!! Booo! My first year at Fredonia we had a Mighty Taco. Of course I was drunk half of my freshman year so my best solution for inebriation was the MT baby! Then they moved an in came Taco Bell and KFC and I had to switch to Pizza Wings and Things which was especially not all that great but was open after midnight. Taco Bell sucks donkey balls.

[ricogarion]

Taco bell had neat commercials with the little dog, "yo quiero taco bell!"

But I have liked Mighty Taco as far back as when they were on Seneca Street
across from the Buzz-N-Bee.

Ahhh the memories......That is where i had my 1st taco, and Mikes Subs was right there too, some of the best sandwiches in the city right there.

[SHINEdown30]

BURRITO BAY or MOE's are much better than both.

[unklechucky]

Lone Star on Hertle

Yuck....tried it, very bad, tried it again, same result...I'd never eat there again.

Ahh yes. Mike's. Dat's a damn good sammich.

I'll tell ya what...I'm not sure if theyre in Miami...but Publix makes a hella sammich too.

[BillsPride12]

There's nothing like finishing off a night of partying with a 3 Cheese Burrito, Steak Fajata, and a Loganberrry from Mighty, but for those who say Taco Bell is garbage I used to think that too but then I started going there occasionally and they have amazing steak chalupa's as well as other things too. But Mighty and Jim's Steakout definately rule over everything...except for Duffs chicken wings

[GilPerreault]

I always liked MT at 3am. other than that I liked Collosso Taco in Tonawanda. Good ground cow ass and snout.

I like Elmwood Taco and Sub. Here in DeKalb, IL there is a large Latino population and a bunch of Mexican restaurants but I'd take ETS and Mighty over all of them.
