MAYBE a bit too much:
http://www.foxnews.com/us/2011/03/21/angry-taco-bell-customer-fires-officers-police-say/
Guy gets upset that the price of his burrito is $1.49 instead of $.99. Attacks the Taco Bell worker and then fires at police after barricading himself in a hotel room.
???

If it was a 360 Gourmet burrito or a La Victoria burrito then I could sympathize. But a Taco Bell "burrito?"
[barf]

Fires with a BB gun.
Tillerson told police that the man got angry, pulled out a BB gun and fired at him before fleeing into the parking lot.

Then he moved to an "assault weapon" for the cops. That of course could mean anything but I presume it means a real gun of some sort.
queue the AK-47 poster!

Hell, I'm upset that they got rid of the 59/79/99 menu.
I eat a lot less fast food now that I can't get fast food for less than $5, but I can still go to Chili's, Applebee's or the local pub and get something decent for less than $10. The price differential just is too close.

Police say a San Antonio Taco Bell customer enraged that the seven burritos he ordered had gone up in price fired an air gun at an employee and later fired an assault rifle at officers before barricading himself into a hotel room.

'Cause your air gun is just for fighting your way to a rifle.

Here's a local news story on the mess. (http://www.ksat.com/news/27265989/detail.html)
He fired a BB gun at the store clerk, then fled outside and placed a "machinegun" on the roof of his vehicle. Fire a shot or 2 at the cops when they arrived very quickly. Standoff lasted about 4 hours once he was holed up in his motel room. CS cured that.

Hey, I've been likin' that double cheesy burrito or whatever it's called that has a bunch of the fire-breathin' fritos wrapped up in it - At $0.99, it'll set you on fire...
-
What if I told you that your 99-cent burrito had been replaced by a $1.50 burrito?

Kaos!
Really, the only Mexican food worth fighting over is that served at Joe T Garcia's in Fort Worth. You pay what they ask and pay gladly. If someone tries to take it from you after you've paid, then may God have mercy on his soul.
-
They love their burritos in Texas...
MAYBE a bit too much
Ya darn tootin'!
-
So isn't a burrito a little donkey ??? :lol:
There's a mexican place by Magic Mountain that I really like called "El Torrito" (little bull?)

If you get around Houston, try Freebirds.

Bad words in video, web site not work-safe:

Can anybody explain to me why use CS on an armed suspect who has no hostages and has shot at police before?
Why not just put a grenade into the room and end the conversation there and then?
-
Unlike many departments, SAPD prefers to take them in alive. I've seen them take 4 hours before rather than kicking a door and shooting someone. Now if an officer had actually been hit by gunfire, RoE would be different.

Yeah, I don't get that. I mean, it was worth eating, but I don't see why everybody raves about it. My theory about "Mexican" restaurants is that they're frequented by Gringos who don't have any Mexican friends who can cook.

Are we sue this didn't happen after he ate the burrito? 'Cause then it would be self defense.

Also found in the Austin and College Station area....good stuff.... =D
But, for a good Mexican chain restaurant, nothing beats Ninfa's...... :cool:

I'm about 95% sure that's the place my wife and I go to whenever we're in Atlanta for DragonCon - EXCELLENT food. Wish they had one here in the DC area.

That was true 20 years ago, but now I'm not so sure. Do you go to the original Ninfa's on Navigation St, or one of the newer ones?
The best Mexican food I've had in Texas was at Doneraki, on Fulton (also 20 years ago.) But the Mexican food I really liked was in Colorado; it seemed to be more American Indian-ish rather than Texan or Californian, and was probably more authentic "Mexican". It had a lot more peppers, and a lot less beef and cumin, and no tomatoes.
-
I've been to Ninfa's near Houston Hobby airport. Good food, excellent margaritas.
To continue the thread veer... there is a difference between Mexican food and Tex-Mex. I prefer Tex-Mex because it has more flavor, veggies, varieties, options, etc. I've had real Mexican food in Matamoros, Chihuahua, Torreon, and Cancun and it was all a little less rich and flavorful. A bit simple compared to Tex-Mex.
And then there is New Mexico/southwestern Mexican. That is wonderful, but hard to find. I need to get back to Santa Fe.
-
The one thing I agree with actual Mexicans about is that Tex-Mex normally has way way too much cheese.
Ninfa's in the Galleria in Houston is also very good. I think it depends on the individual restaurant.
Pappasito's in Houston has some of the best fajitas ever. They taste like prime steak cut into well flavored fajitas. Very good. I'm not sure the rest of their stuff is any better than anyone else though. I might actually understand the guy's reaction if someone tried to take his Pappasitos take out fajitas, but those are a whole lot more than $1.50.

Yeah, I figured Houston is a more likely destination than College Station. No one wants to go to Austin. =D
Freebirds was across the street from campus in College Station when was at A&M. It was a staple food for a lot of students. I think that is the original place, but I am not sure of that.
-

Never been to the original one....my experiences are in Austin, College Station, and Waco. All good places, but the restaurant design can get noisy sometimes.
Best original place to go is Chuy's in Austin....the rest of the chain doesn't compare to the original.... :cool:

Only thing I miss about CA is Santana's, which was cheap delicious drive through friendly and offered carne asada nachos. No Mexican joint I've found in WA is as good.
-
I don't. They are foul things in my eyes.
People don't seem to realize there was a reason Tejas wanted to be part of the United States, not part of Mexico. I continue to believe that this was because of the food.
-

I get that whenever I get to Las Cruces and have found hte Mexican chow around Terlingua to be of that sort. Yum.

Next time you're in Las cruces, go to Si Senor, or make the trip to El Paso to Carnitas Queretaro.
Queretaro is the best mexican place in el paso, hands down.

When I was little we used to go to a Mexican place in Austin. It seems like it was near downtown/Congress Ave. I can remember that it was in an old adobe type building/house with thick walls, arched doorways, and little rooms with only 2 or 3 tables each.
Probably long since gone - this was 50+ years ago... ;/

The Alamo? No wait, that's in San Antonio.

I've been to the Alamo at about that same time frame. The rooms were definitely bigger there ;)

Well, I could see being upset if Mamacita's in Kerrville was closed. However, can't you just go down the street to another taco joint?
-
We gave one of the Compound Kids a coupla crunchy double-cheesy $0.99 burritos. Kid made 'em go away, along with a buncha caffeine.
Somewhat later, there was a trip to the bathroom, followed by much bitching about "too spicy food."

Once you get used to good Tex-Mex, just any old place won't cut it.
