    my mate went to the VIP night and said it was lush. then again, it was all free. don't get why people would ever queue to go to a chain restaurant though. just go next week, surely..

    Apparently they serve beer too.

    Which is a bonus.

    I've been to the one in Manchester and tried this one out earlier, It's decent. Then again, I love Mexican food!! People just need to remember that it is a fast food place. Expectations should be no higher than McDonald's and KFC etc.. Costa is opening next door (QFM franchise a shed load of KFC's, Costa's and now Taco Bell in and around Yorkshire) there's also a third unit within the old Blockbuster building. I'd heard plans that it was going to be a Baskin Robins ice cream place but not sure anything has been confirmed yet.

    Surprised there's none in London.

    Looking at the pictures on the website the food doesn't look that appetising but worth a try for a change.

    One in Sheffield is shockingly expensive. Assume queues in Barnsley as was free. Be empty next week

    They're all franchised so I suppose it's dependent on who's willing to invest! The next one due to open is in Bradford - once again franchised by QFM!

    It wasn't free today! Sure there's a lot of hype as its new :) I paid £5 for a meal... Can't imagine the prices are much different in Sheff!

    You want to try Five Guys Burgers & Fries. They're American based but have started to pop up in the UK. There's now 2 in Leeds. Very nice, but your talking £8 for a burger. They also sell beer.

    Might work out a bit more expensive when I factor in the plane ticket.

    Big fan of taco bell, driven to the one on Eccy Road in Sheffield quite a few times in the last year and glad I won't have to do that now!

    Similar prices to McDonalds but it's mexican food, and their grilled stuft burritos are something else. Great value for money.

    They're a lot better than McDs and KFC - at least they are in America!
