    “ "What does a girl have to do to get noticed around here!?"
    "Order a taco! It’s Taco Bell!"
    This exchange, between spoiled rich girl Michelle and a Taco Bell Worker, nails the problem of class warfare in the US, and is only one of many laugh-out-loud exchanges in this smart, funny two-hander that proves "...there really isn’t anything that Queso can’t fix." A wonderfully fresh, subtly political comedy, and very quotable. ”

    “ "Yeah we don’t have a taco called acknowledgement." Wow. Must be read to be believed. Spot on crritique of American society. Great dialogue. Nice ending. ”
