My Favorite Fast Food Restaurant: A Journey Through Taco Cabeza

Fast food stretches its tentacles far and wide, offering a range of quick and delicious options. Today, let's delve into my personal favorite, a place that's as fictional as it is delightful. In 2020, I was caught between a number of different options, but ultimately chose Taco Cabeza, a name that might conjure up some amusing images in your mind. Here's why:

Why Taco Cabeza?

My first encounter with Taco Cabeza came about 10 years ago when I was writing a children's book. I needed a name for a Mexican restaurant that was both authentic and quirky enough to appeal to young readers. In a playful twist, I came up with 'Taco Cabeza'—which, if you ask me, could mean "Taco Head," "The Boss Taco," or even "The Head Taco". It was a whimsical choice, and surprisingly, it stuck with me through the years.

Then, fate took an interesting turn. While watching the TV show Breaking Bad, I noticed that the character Jessie was frequenting a restaurant named Taco Cabeza. The name sparked a memory and a sense of déjà vu. Was it possible that the fictional name I invented for a children's story had found its way into the world of television? The show took place in a fictional town in New Mexico, but I couldn't help but feel a connection. Perhaps someone out there had a similar vision, imagining a place where 'El Jefe Taco' might be in charge, fitting the burger king concept perfectly.

Is Taco Cabeza a Real Restaurant?

The concept of Taco Cabeza as a real restaurant is intriguing. While my initial reaction was to assume this was a case of stolen intellectual property, the possibility of it being an actual eatery in New Mexico or Arizona can't be completely ruled out. The name, with its unique blend of authenticity and humor, could very well have appealed to a keen entrepreneur looking to tap into the Mexican cuisine market.

Despite the ambiguity, Taco Cabeza remains a favorite in my heart. It's not just a name; it's a concept that evokes a sense of joy and imagination. The idea of savoring a taco under the guise of a head or boss might seem amusing, but it also represents a blend of flavors and traditions that make Mexican cuisine so appealing.

No Fast Food for Now

However, it's important to note that in 2020, fast food wasn't a part of my daily routine. While I don't claim to abide by a strict regimen, it simply hasn't been a necessary part of my lifestyle. I do hope to try more fast food options in the future, as they often provide a taste of convenience and comfort.

So, while I haven't personally experienced the delights of Taco Cabeza, the mere possibility of its existence—or at least the name itself—has certainly left a mark on my culinary imagination. How about you? Do you have any favorite fast food restaurants or fictional names that intrigue you?
