About Taco Bell
Taco Bell is a haven for Mexican delicacies such as tacos, quesadillas, burritos, nachos, and other specialty items. Owned by Yum! Brands, Inc. Taco Bell is one of the fastest growing American chains of fast food restaurants. The restaurant operates from 7,072 different locations which are mostly run by independent franchisees and licensees.
The background story of Taco Bell is interesting and inspiring for budding entrepreneurs. The fast-food brand is the brainchild of Glen Bell, who started his first food venture as a hot dog seller in San Bernardino, California. The year was 1948. After witnessing long queues outside a Mexican restaurant called Mitla Café across the street, Bell saw the opportunity and demand for hard-shelled Tacos. He reverse-engineered the recipe and later started selling Tacos and called the venture Taco-Tia.
Later, the name changed from Taco-Tia to El Taco. Eventually, Glen Bell sold the company to his partner and opened the first Taco Bell in Downey in 1962. By 1964, the restaurant also got its first franchise in Torrance. The 100th Taco Bell restaurant was opened by 1965. PepsiCo acquired Taco Bell from Glen Bell in 1978 and the restaurant brand is currently a subsidiary of Yum! Brands which looks after the restaurant business of PepsiCo.

I love this place by far more than the majority of my family members. I also acknowledge that if you didn't grow up with it, it's kind of gross. If you did grow up with it, there is nothing else in the world that could even compare to it. It's just that kind of thing, you know? Anyway, it is the home of the Wet Plate, so there's that. I actually prefer the Deluxe Enchilada plate, though. And I dream of those nasty little tacos. I can eat like a billion. I miss their old juke box. The modern one they have now is just not the same. I remember my mom used to give me a $1 and I would play "Girl on LSD" by Tom Petty like 5 times because I loved it. My upbringing was strange and wonderful.

Cheap Tacos. You get what you pay for. It's a dive that has a level of charm that is pure Terre Haute. The furniture hasn't changed since they opened the doors years ago. If you're looking for cheap Mexican that isn't Taco-bell and don't have Chava's level funds in your wallet come here and get full.
(4)Yvonne M.
Not the kind of tacos I expected. They serve minced beef tacos but I wanted Asada, Pastor type tacos on corn tortillas. They prices are very cheap though. It costs me $2.30 for two tacos and a medium drink.
(2)Jared B.
Move over Taco Bell, you have NOTHING on the Home of the Wet Plate! I hold the unofficial record of putting down 19 tacos in 30 mins at the South 3rd location. The use peanut oil, so if you are allergic to peanuts, STAY AWAY! I'm not, and I think it makes the tacos taste AMAZING! I also love the King Sancho! If you are in Terre Haute, you HAVE to stop by here. Dirt cheap, delicious, and guaranteed to make you come back for more.
(4)Ryan D.
This place (and the other location) are terrible. It is "mexican food" cooked up in a nasty kitchen. I have been there twice and got more grease than actual edible food on both occasions. It is a greasy spoon mixed with tacos...terrible.
(1)G S.
Taco Casita is a Terre Haute landmark and is still serving up great Mexican food as it has for 40 years. You've never lived until you've been to Taco Casita...
(4)Haley R.
This place is absolutely fantastic, but not for the purposes of eating. It is important to mention that I make habit out of finding the most questionable-looking Mexican restaurant while on road trips. I think the best place I've found so far included having to physically LEAVE the building and walk around back to find the outside "restrooms". But this isn't about that place. This is about Taco Casita. This place was so perfect-looking, I had to do a double-take and turn around. Upon first view, you notice the chipped stucco exterior, the empty parking lot, and the missing letters on the wall that now spell "TACO CASI". The best part, though, is the sign that faces the street. You see, once upon a time this was another fast food establishment. Taco Bell? Taco King? Taco Cabesa? Unfortunately, the former business decided to take it's gigantic sign with it, leaving only a bare post. Taco Casita, seeing themselves as problem solvers, decided instead to hand-paint a teeny-tiny sign on what would have originally held the much bigger sign to said post. It's adorable and hilarious and my entire reason for stopping. Upon entering the restaurant, I am greeted by what I imagine to be the entire population of Terre Haute's senior citizens. It's quiet. A little too quiet. I'm pretty sure that man in the wheel chair is asleep. I take a look at the menu (and corresponding "food photography") and make my selection. The food comes out fast. A little too fast. I'm pretty sure the kitchen consists solely of two microwaves and a stockpile of paper plates. The food itself was tolerable at best and the atmosphere a bit unsettling, however the staff were ready and waiting. I probably won't be back to Taco Casita, at least not to eat, but it does instill a certain kind of "charm." Thanks for the memory!
(2)Jess B.
I have only got wet plate from here, which comes with beans, a burrito and an enchilada. Three sauce choices: mild, hot, extra hot. THE WET PLATE IS LEGENDARY YOU JUST HAVE TO TRY IT OKAY???? Awful decor and they still use paper plates. But it's totally worth it. At least try it once for the full Terre Haute experience.
(4)Sara P.
As hole in the wall as you can possibly get, but I don't care. Taco Casita is one of the few things I miss about Terre Haute. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu, but I'd suggest a king wet sancho or burrito and some super tacos. You'll be glad you did!
(5)Roy H.
An anachronistic fast-food Tex-Mex joint that has persisted through the decades. It definitely has a "dive-y" feel, but the food is quick, cheap and delicious. Don't be intimidated by the appearance, try the wet plate or enchilada platter. The food is cooked with peanut oil.
(5)Kira F.
love, love, love this local taco joint!!!
(5)Aaron M.
This place has me torn down the middle. On the one hand, it's dirty and shady. In fact, it's quite fitting that the letters have fallen off the sign and it now reads "Taco Casi," which translates into "almost taco." But, on the other hand, there's something about the food. Because despite the fact that I'd normally never eat in a place like this, I keep coming back. Like an addict. Anyway, you have to trust me that if you have a hangover or you're sad, a wet plate and two beef enchiladas on the side will wipe away your blues. Trust me. You'll thank me later. By the way, as someone who grew up in the southwest less than an hour from Mexico, I'm not exactly sure where the idea for the Inca-esque decor made in China came from, but in some weird way, it's perfectly fitting. Check this place out. It's a Terre Haute institution.
(3)Fred W.
Ill start of by saying that the food is flavorful with a Midwestern Mexican flare. Its not exactly Mexican, its not exactly Hoosier cuisine either. The restaurant is very ran down in appearance, but its been that way for fourty years, so it would be disappointing if it were anything else. Not a bad value for the price, give it a try.
(3)Frank Z.
Ok Here's the deal Terre Haute Folk... Taco Casita's USED to be Taco Tico's YEARS ago... (Original chain started in Wichita Kansas) I grew up eating at the very first ones way back when... Then the chain got sold... Pepsico took it over... and it all went to hell! Complete menu change... no more wet plates.. sauce (that SUCKED) in packages.. terrible food! The Terre Haute locations (THANK GOD) were not sold to Pepisco, but bought by an individual who changed the name to Taco Casita.. but left all the recipes and menus the same... Imagine my delight when I moved to Indiana... happened to drive by one... and said to myself.. DAMN! THAT building looks JUST LIKE an old Taco Tico! Stopped... went inside.. and there it all was... the OLD ORIGINAL Taco Tico menu... Wet plates! Sanchos! Your choice of sauce ON THE FOOD! OMG! We ate until we were stuffed. I do NOT stop through Indiana without going there! When I later moved to Chicago, and had to travel to Evansville several times... I'd get 4 to 6 uncooked Sancho Wet Plates to go (sauce on the side) and pack em in a cooler on ice to take em back to Chicago! I now live Dallas, and cant wait to drive back to Indy for the 500 in May... Trust me I'll be getting Casita on the way up and the way back! LOVE THIS PLACE! YEP ITS A DIVE! WHO CARES!
(5)Fuzzy W.
It's the kind a place you take your best friend, unless they are high maintenance. You don't go to impress, but just go to enjoy. So just set back and enjoy!
(5)Joe P.
A staple in anyone's first visit to Terre Haute. Cheap? Yes. Quick? Yes. Authentic? Not exactly. Tasty? Always. Go there and say things like, "wet plate hot", "2 beef on 1, extra hot", "combination dinner, hot", "six tacos extra hot and a small cheese dip" and this last one is key: "root beer"...for some reason I can't explain, they have the best root beer.
