Taco Hell, never (ok, hardly ever). <br /><br />El Burrito (also good), local home of an old landmark-y cactus, recently added a bunch of Kissho Kans out front. Pretty nice, I thought. But Taco Time looks terrific, and wins this round of cactus-at-a-Mexican-eatery by a mile.

But I daresay the plantings probably won't be nearly as exciting as the cuisine or the photos you took. Ironically, just today I was working on a few Cylindropuntia entries for PL. I have so much to learn about dangerous plants. (Thanks for your kind words about my raised bed makeover.)

I've never eaten at Taco Time, but I like just about every Mexican, Tex-Mex, or Ameri-Mex place I've ever tried. There's usually something decent to eat. My favorites, though, are the smaller, local or regional restaurants. And, wow, having those plants out front would definitely be a draw, too! ;-)Beth at PlantPostingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10473637655960119672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-29416134309045963962015-10-20T16:08:09.796-07:002015-10-20T16:08:09.796-07:00Seriously!?

As for the food franchises, I can't remember the last time I ate at either, if I've even eaten at both. I do remember that whichever one I last ate at I didn't like, but I'm not a huge fan of Mexican food. I hate refried beans and sour cream and get tired of trying to find a menu item that doesn't have them, or asking if I can order something without. And don't get me started on that generic taco seasoning. So far my preferred Mexican chain is Qdoba.Evan Beanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06732413653862912387noreply@blogger.com
