    Sounds like most of the tex mex places I go to now and days…every time I eat at Taco Bell I don’t feel well.

    That’s nothing, Rat; a lot of “Mexican” eateries will subject you to Montezuma’s Revenge.

    If Rat’s new restaurant is located in the Lone Star state, would it be a Tex Hex Mex?

    Tex Mex restaurants I’ve been to in Texas are (at least some of them) quite good. Pseudo-Mex chain restaurants I’ve been to in midwestern states tend to be mediocre at best, oft worse. But I digress. Rat’s pun is lame. I reckon it’s time to confront that Pastis-dude. He’s Greek, not Hispanic; why not a gyros joke?

    I always thought that Taco Bell was the Mexican phone company.

    Taco Bell tacos are like shape shifting aliens. After you eat them they turn into gas clouds from Uranus.

    I’m too lazy this morning, so you can use the following words and snippets to build your own pun expansion:Lex, Dex, Wex, Rex, T-rex, Sex, Vex. Use all 7 and get 50 bonus points.

    I like Taco Bell, and I like La Mesa (local joint), both good at what they do, just very different.

    Taco Bell’s good once in a while. Taco John’s is the one that gives me grief.Sit-down Mexican restaurants, actually run by Mexicans, are usually pretty good.

    The last few strips that have involved puns and/or wordplay have been initiated by Rat, so that is probably why Cartoon-Pastis has been spared…

    I think a Sex Mex restaurant would be a lot more fun.

    From dippin’ into a granddaughter’s salsa at the new Taco Bell in Plymouth, WI, I recently discovered a way to make the Nachos Bell Grande more toothsome (for me, anyhow – that’s about all I can eat, with my food allergies [hold the beef]). You put in for two side orders: salsa and guacamole. Totally delicioso (said with a California accent, since Taco Bell is Cal-Mex)!
