The Top 5 Americanized Mexican Food Restaurants

When it comes to fast-ish food.. you know, the not really fast food, fast food, that involves sitting down usually and ordering at the counter, but is a little slower than your usual burger and fries... there always seems to be a lot of controversy surrounding the Mexican fast food area. Yes, I know, it really isn't real Mexican food. It is Americanized Mexican, that is basically just burritos, burrito bowls, tacos and quesadillas. But whatever your technical terminology is for this food style, you probably have a favorite. And when you have one of these favorites, you will fight to the death in order to claim it is at the top of the burrito chain.

So here is the definite list of the best fast Americanized Mexican food around.

Disclaimer: Mom, I know you will claim until the cows come home that Baja Fresh is the best fast Mexicanish food around, but it isn't even around anymore, so that was not even a consideration during the creation of this list.

5. Taco Bell

Taco Bell, or as my neighbor calls it, "Taco Hell" is actually real drive through fast food. It is the fastest and also the cheapest of the options. Sometimes, when you eat a Dorito Locos taco, you question what you are doing with your life. Actually, I question it whenever I bite into one of those gross but addictive crunchy things of processed meat and cheese. It really is not quality, and it's not even that appetizing, but sometimes you just have these hardcore cravings where you need a cheap taco. Also, BAJA BLASTS FOR THE WIN.

Confession: Once my friend Dara and I ate a 12 pack of Dorito Locos tacos by ourselves in about 15 minutes.

4. Qdoba

Q'Doba is not necessarily bad, but not necessarily mind blowing either. It is pretty salty, and the guac is sub-par.

It does not have nearly as big a following as Chipotle or Moe's, but it seems to be growing which I do give it a thumbs up for.

3. Moe's

Moe's, I think, is pretty good. I do like Moe's and find it above subpar. Recently, I had some Moe's because our whole hall got it for free and I found it pretty good. I also heard a lot about Moe's Monday, which I plan to eventually try out.

2. Chipotle

I enjoy Chipotle. It is pretty good, but I find it super overrated, because it has a huge ridiculous and obnoxious following of people who never had the number 1 place on the list so they really need to be quiet.

Chipotle is good, and they do have the biggest burrito bowls, but their mild salsa is slightly bitter, which is a little weird.


AND THE WINNER IS...

1.PANCHEROS

Pancheros is the most amazing fast burrito you can ever find. It is delicious and fresh and they press their tortillas made to order for you. It is literally heaven in a tortilla or a bowl. It is the most delicious scrumptious and amazing chain item you could ever get.

I advocate strongly for them because they are the most life changing, bomb.com food in the world.

They are so good that on the way to junior prom, we stopped there and took photos. Because, Panch is the most A1 food around.

Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
