665089 Thu Nov 05 21:18:10 -0800 2009 11 2 Los Angeles Area 0 5160028 I used to work at Taco Bell as a teenager and we used to make and sell an item called the "Bellbeefer" that was basically the same taco meat served in tacos but served on a hamburger bun with lettuce, cheese and tomato. I have been searching for such an item and literally fell upon a small restaurant in Long Beach that does a great version of the Taco Bell original. It is a bit more spicier and you have to ask to have the cheese and tomato added but they've never charged me more for those requests. The restaurant is named Great Mex and they have other locations in Costa Mesa and Newport Beach(www.greatmexgrill.com). On Sundays the burgers are only $1.00 each. The normal price is $1.95. They also have Mexican Coke to help wash away the heat. Tuesdays and Fridays have tacos for only $1.00 each. For those of you who remember the old "Bellbeefer" I think you'll be very happy to know you can still find a suitable version after Taco Bell got rid of "the bun".

It is not on the menu but they do make them at this Taco Bell. Thu Nov 05 22:50:18 -0800 2009 5160028 11279 Burger Boy 1 5161233 Speaking of Taco Bell... I am still questing for a chili cheese burrito, or "Chilito" There is a site that documents the places that are supposed to serve them, but I've called all the SoCal locations on there and none of them actually serve this wonderful little piece of Heaven!

Fri Nov 06 11:38:34 -0800 2009 5161233 11279 Burger Boy 2 5162164 Google it, and you shall receive: http://www.chilicheese.org/ OTOH you could make the BB or chilito yourself with some ground beef filling. Except Burger Boy, he has an Unlimited travel budget when food is concerned :-). Fri Nov 06 15:28:08 -0800 2009 5161233 23712 DiveFan 3 5163467 It is called a Schwinn 10 Speed bike, circa 1971.

I have a Traveler 111 Sun Nov 08 21:40:20 -0800 2009 5163467 19139 Bruin2 5 5166268 Varsity of course! Sun Nov 08 21:47:23 -0800 2009 5166257 11279 Burger Boy 3 5163480 Hard to replicate their sauce and those cheap soft buns come in a 24 or 36 pack. Unless we are doing a BB party at your house for a dozen people I do not have the freezer space. Sat Nov 07 11:35:24 -0800 2009 5162164 11279 Burger Boy 1 5165180 Thanks sounds awesome.

When they went out of business I started on the Bellbeefer, and remember eating those at the Taco Bell in Isla Vista. Loved them. Sun Nov 08 21:42:58 -0800 2009 5160028 19139 Bruin2
