Actually I haven't done any Spanish since High school and that
was many years ago but I think that neither of you are correct.

Yo quiero Taco Bell is I want Taco Bell. Tu quiero Taco Bell is
You (fam) want Taco Bell. Neither is in the form of a question.
Perhaps the question form is "Quieres tu Taco Bell? 

What is all this stuff about Taco Bell anyway ain't that a Mexican
phone company? Are they in Texas now?
