Is Taco Bell dying?

Taco Bell restaurants have been removed from 4 of the closest malls around me with no real notification, yet I still see commercials all the time for it. There really isn't competition in the area in terms of tacos (we have some burrito places that are good but not in the mall), anyone else in the Northeast seeing this happen?

I stopped eating there when i discovered Chipotle and Baja Fresh.

They're all I have. No Baja Fresh or Chipotle for me. For the record, I live in upstate NY and go to school in Indiana.

I think I've seen 1 or 2 in the san diego area. I am sure there are more, but definitly not as prevelant as they are in Louisiana Then again I don't look for them. Chipotle is better.

I live in Louisiana and we have more taco bells than white people.

Chicago has an abundance of TBs and Chipotles. I like Chipotle a lot better.

Comparing TB and Chipotle is kind of silly. It's like comparing McDonalds and Fuddruckers. Not really the same type of restaurant.

I find TB and Chipotle very similar actually, the only differences being Chipotle has classier atmosphere and better food.

I think Chipotle is definitely cutting into their business. I know they stole me away. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
