I’ve never gotten sick from there either in the US but i also typically eat the local Mexican food instead. I think it’s just become an internet thing

Same, and I'm in the state where it was founded, so I doubt it. It's more just a running joke because it's low quality pseudo-Mexican food.

It's just a meme because white people can barely handle salt and pepper, I've never had an issue with taco bell but then again I rarely eat from fast food Mexican places when the real stuff is readily available

Canada has stricter rules, and higher standards. I still feel like McDonalds is the worst fast food in Canada, compared to every other place that sells burgers.
