Berkeley Taco Trucks

stewiethegreat — Wed, 22 Oct 2008 22:53:21 -0800

Where are the taco trucks in Berkeley? I just moved from Oakland, CA to Berkeley, and I've only found one taco truck (the one next to campus at Bancroft and Telegraph). I've heard great things about it, but it's not open (or, apparently, even there) at night, which is when I generally want tacos.

I *love* taco truck food. I adore it. And I don't want to drive back to Oakland twice a week to feed my nighttime taco cravings. Are there any in Berkeley?

I live on Dwight between Shattuck and Telegraph.

Taco Bell in London

Taco Bell in London. My pregnant wifey is desirous of the taste, but there are, alas, no branches here. Anyone know of anywhere that has a similar taste here or some recipes that actually do approximate their burritos etc? Apparently the hot sauce is to die for (?)

I need my taco fix.

I'm looking for a great breakfast taco joint in north Dallas... Recently moved to Little Elm and born and raised in San Antonio so I know what's good - any suggestions?

How do you give a cat medication under its tongue?

How do you give a cat medication under its tongue? My kitty had surgery yesterday and the vet gave me a bag of syringes with a liquid pain medication (Buprenex) that I am supposed to give my kitty twice a day. She specifically said to administer it under the tongue. It sounded easy in theory, but after calming him down, talking nice, gingerly tacoing him up and pinching his mouth to get it open, I can get the meds in his mouth, but not quite under his tongue. He laps at the air and it is impossible to get anything under there without it going everywhere.

Is there a trick for this? Does the medication absolutely need to be under the tongue, or just absorbed in his mouth? I'm new at the cat-medication thing, so any advice from experienced cat owners would help.

Taco Bell Commercial

Taco Bell has been running a commercial this past weekend during many of the bowl games with Carmen Electra in it. Can anyone tell me who the female actor was that was sitting in the room with the two guys talking about how unlikely it was that one of the guys had broken up with Carmen Electra? Also, is there a database similar to IMDB that will allow me to search actors names based on the commercials they're in?

Taco Bell Bean/Meat ratio?

Darth Fedor — Mon, 18 Sep 2006 12:32:30 -0800

TacoBellFilter: What does the sign on the tortilla warmer that says something like %71 Bean %29 Taco mean? I can't remember if that's exactly what it says. If not, it is something very similar. Is this propaganda reminding the employees that on a menu item containing both beans and taco meat, the prescribed ratio is 71% beans to 29% meat? If so, that sucks! 70/30 is bad enough...but 71/29? I don't like the idea of subliminal suggestion being used to shaft me out of getting the taco meat I deserve! Can any former employees shed light on this?

Mmm ... tacos.

Taco Bell Beans or Fancy Feast?

roguescout — Fri, 17 Mar 2006 16:26:17 -0800

I hope this doesn't wreck the experience for anyone... But why do the refried beans at Taco Bell smell just like canned cat food? This really bugs me.
