I don't understand the obsession with mexi fries? They're at every taco time. Not a Canadian thing. :-s

Saxitoxin claimed there are two separate and different chains in the United States that both use the Taco Time name.

In Canada we only have the good one that started in Eugene, Oregon. https://www.tacotime.com/about/index.html

Saxitoxin posted, down there it's only in Washington and Oregon.

Mookie said he could get them when he was a kid. Now he lives in California, excellent actual Mexican food but none of the good Taco Times with tots near him.

No Taco Times in the 7th largest economy in the world sadly. looks like there are a couple in NV, and one in OR next time I venture out of the greatest state in America.

So now I presume https://tacotimecanada.com broke away from https://www.tacotime.com at some point. Their origin story says they started in 1978 in Lethbridge.

I kind of want to investigate the other chain Saxi was writing abowt. Possibly a bad idea.

I wonder if it's a mix of the two chains? I was looking here - https://www.tacotime.com/locator/index. ... 0&q=oregon
and it seems like there are maybe 5-6 in OR but I'm putting in minimal effort

What a weird site.

I enter my zip and there's 5 less than 10 miles away.

I enter OREGON and it shows a total of 5 several hundred miles away :lol:

There's a bunch. I see them when we travel and I love the mexi fries, so we stop.

This is the site I found
