I'm not sure where you're located in Mexico City, but where I am there is a restaurant called Taco Inn (I think). They may have the bean burrito and possibly the supreme.
The pictures they have outside looks like it's a close resemblence to Taco Bell in the States. I'm in the south part of the city and the Taco Inn I saw is in Cuicuilco. I can't find anything online so I'll go by tomorrow and see if I can get a number and more addresses for you.

i am in the tlalpan area.

i used to love chili's but after working there for a few weeks i don't think i ever want to see another fajita plate in m life.

thanks for any suggestions, dudes, sometimes it's like i could eat an entire hippo made of beans and cheese. and chocolate.

My Mexican friends in Petaluma, CA, wouldn't be caught dead in a Taco Bell.

While I loved the bland gringo "tacos" made out of a curled tostado, American hamburger meat, lettuce, American cheese and tomatoes, they cringed when I ate them - even with a good dose of "hot sauce" from the little plastic bag.

I don't really think this franchise would be popular in Mexico but does anyone know where I can find an Arby's? Razz

from what i have found online they have at least two somewhere in mexico city, but they never say WHERE. they also said when they opened, due to a failed attempt 15 years ago, they took out half page ads in newspapers explaining that they were most certainly not mexican food, just something...else.
i love that something else. if i knew what they did to their bean and meat, seasoning wise, i would just make it.

it's also totally cheddar cheese, which is so much better than that poo called american. i am being a cheese elitist here, talking about fake mexican food.

Arby's I've never seen in Mexico, but damn, you just gave me a craving for a Montreal smoked meat sandwich.

I wonder if the airport here has a Taco Bell or an Arby's? Cajun Grill there is pretty good.

Check this: http://mx.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080824222259AABOOjz. No idea how reliable it is, but one person suggests that one is a couple blocks from the cathedral in Coyoac�n and the other might be in Plaza Universidad.

This is the only clue I've found.

I sure hope you have a Taco Bell! We have one here in Monterrey. I'm also pregnant, and can NOT explain why Taco Bell has been figuring heavily into my cravings - both the disgusting nachos and the bean burrito. Why is this? The sodium? Is it a strange alternative to pickles? I don't know. I wish you luck!

Taco Bell is in Mexico at least according to this report- http://www.usatoday.com/news/world/2007-10-09-tacobell-mexico_N.htm?csp=34

Taco Bell is good stuff.

Oh, no! Who will tell me I'm going to hell now? Laughing

I can't understand anyone's craving the stuff that Taco Bell dishes out, especially when you're living in Mexico! Confused

The one time I made the mistake of eating at one (in the States), I got sick to my stomach (literally, sort of NOB "turista"!). Not to mention that the tacos I ate were greasy and tasteless.

It's the height of cultural-culinary chutzpa to think that Taco Bell's desecration (oops, I mean interpretation) of Mexican food would have any kind of success here!!
