Today we are looking at a fast food snack that was available at the chain Taco Bueno, before we get to the item, lets talk about this restaurant first. Taco Bueno is a fast food restaurant chain that was founded in Texas. It specialises in Tex Mex cuisine and has over 140 locations in the USA including Arkansas, Kansas, Louisiana and Missouri.
