I don't know about "Mini Tacos," but here's what's in the iconic 99 cent tacos (assuming they're still 99 cents). It's been a few years since I had any, but god help me, those things are like crack. From Quora: "Taco, Regular Filling Ingredients: Beef, Chicken, Water, Textured Vegetable Protein (Soy Flour, Caramel Color), Defatted Soy Grits, Seasoning (Chili Pepper, Corn Maltodextrin, Spices, Bleached Enriched Wheat Flour [Niacin, Reduced Iron, Thiamine Mononitrate, Riboflavin, and Folic Acid], Salt, Garlic Powder, Hydrolyzed Corn, Soy, and Wheat Proteins, Monosodium Glutamate, Onion Powder, Natural Flavors, Disodium Inosinate, Disodium Guanylate, Succinic Acid), Salt, Tomato Paste, Worcestershire Sauce (Distilled Vinegar, Molasses, Corn Syrup, Water, Salt, Caramel Color, Garlic Powder, Sugar, Spices, Tamarind, Natural Flavor, Sulfiting Agent).

If you're too poor or tasteless to spend an extra $2 at a taqueria (or Taco Cabana) I have eaten them. Much like other things from my youth/early adulthood (Steak Umms, Hamburger Helper, Totinos pizza, Wolf Brand Chili, Maruchan Ramen, etc...) I will never eat them again. I prefer this one: https://uproxx.com/life/who-has-best-fast-food-taco-meat/
I see what you're doing here. Next tell us about your love of the tacos at Burger King: https://www.mashed.com/192852/you-should-never-get-the-tacos-at-burger-king-heres-why/
I get it. If somebody put one in front of me would I eat some? Yep. I prefer Red Baron French Bread Supreme for my el cheapo desperation lazy freezer pizza that usually sits in there for 4+ months. Never been so desperate for a Frito Pie that I couldn't whip up a pot of chili, even if it's a quick and easy version.
I swear DQ is a front for the mob or something. I never see anyone eat at DQ and yet they're still around.
i think it depends on the DQ. in austin there are several that are owned by the mayfield family and they are some of the best run, cleanest fast food restaurants ive ever been to. they are so well regarded that they are actually listed as "mayfield DQ" so you know its them. what really tripped me out was when i went to portland a few years ago and the neighborhood DQ had a long line out the door everytime i went by it. i guess its exotic dining for them.
Yes. I've mentioned this before, it totally depends on the owner/manager. Some can be damn good, some can be inedible (I'm talking about a basic burger and fries).
DQ here in colorado doesn't even serve food. Just dessert and Orange Julius, and they are all over the place
