LEO/LHB: ¿Taco? ¡Bueno!

[Robin Garr]

LEO's Eats with Louisville HotBytes

Remember last year, when the return of the old Taco Tico chain brought traffic jams to Southwestern. Jefferson County as crowds of pilgrims trooped out Lower Hunters Trace in search of a nostalgic lunch?

We're seeing something like that again this month as the iconic Taco Bueno chain arrives in the metro, luring lines of supplicants to form around its small new building in Jeffersonville.

The 40-year-old chain, based in Dallas, bears some resemblance to Taco Bell, although it's only a smallish competitor, with about 170 properties against the Bell's 6,000 stands. Still, local folks who know Bueno have been craving Bueno, and they're turning out in big numbers.

Full report in LEO and on LouisvilleHotBytes.

One of my "to do" stops on the way out to "Chuck-town" to have some pizza and great beer...

From what I have heard, This place is so busy, that they can't keep enough stock in place for the entire menu....

I probably isn't that great, but it's different than Taco Bell....(Most of those rubes on the Sunny Side will wait for hours for ANYTHING, as long as they have heard about it on TV )

I can only imagine what will happen when Our Best opens....

There will be a HUGE traffic jam up and down HWY 62....
