Except you don't have good Mexican restaurants at all up north (believe me, I tried one in NY when I was up there last year, it was ***).
How is Taco Bell compared to a Mexican restaurant up there in Penn?

It depends where you are. Were you in NYC? Anywhere with a large immigrant population you should be able to find good, relatively authentic Mexican/Mexi-American cuisine.
Taco Bell is fast food. Just like my burger comparison, you can get fast food and you can get dine-in actual meals somewhere. I really don't know why people always try to equate Taco Bell to real Mexican food. No one who eats there (should) be under the impression that there is anything but a vague similarity in names and structures of some of the foods.
The Mexican fare here in my exact area is so-so ever since the best restaurant went out of business due to the owner being involved in a cocaine ring.
If you head into Pittsburgh you can get some okay stuff if you look hard enough.
Head up to Erie, though, and you can find some really, really excellent places because Erie has a large immigrant population from a lot of different places, including central America. A couple of the places I really like have food that looks pretty much exactly as pictured by you.
I used to go to Don Pablos in Monroeville every once in a while. They had pretty good food there until they closed suddenly. Is that the one that was closed because of drugs?
