Bueno Nacho is the 6th episode broadcast (but 1st produced) of the TV series Kim Possible. Bueno Nacho is also the name of a restaurant franchise in the show, which lampoons Taco Bell. The episode is notable in that it is the first to introduce recurring background character Ned, and recurring snack fictional food the "Naco".

[edit] Plot Sypnosis
World-saving teen hero Kim Possible wants to buy a cool new jacket from the clothing store Club Banana. But she's running short on cash and is forced to get a job at her favorite place to hang out, the Mexican restaurant "Bueno Nacho." Joining her on her missions is her best friend and sidekick, Ron Stoppable. This time around, Dr. Drakken and his sidekick Shego are trying to penetrate the earth's crust to harvest magma inside a giant cheese wheel in the state of Wisconsin.
Ron, meanwhile, reluctantly joins Kim in her job, and realizes that he has a niche at Bueno Nacho. While Kim is struggling, he thrives, and is made assistant manager, rendering her his employee. When Kim wants to leave to go fight Drakken, Ron explains that her shift isn't over, which prevents her from leaving. When she quits her job, Ron refuses to go with Kim, and she leaves alone.
Upon arriving at the giant cheese wheel without her sidekick, Kim is overpowered and captured by Shego and Drakken's minions. Meanwhile in Middleton, Ron is bossing Ned, the former asst. manager around when he learns that Kim is in trouble. He immediately leaves to save her but is also captured. Drakken is just about to strike magma when Ron's naked mole rat, Rufus, wakes up. He frees Kim and Ron, allowing the disabling of the "magmachine", a massive spheroid device with a giant cannon, most likely a spoof of the Death Star in Star Wars.
It's not over yet, though - Drakken had stolen a laser drill to reach the magma, and the magmachine was supposed to handle the magma, ejecting it into the sky similar to a volcanic eruption. Ron sneaks into the laser drill's control room and outlines the situation: "Rufus, this is a precision implement, incredibly complex... better mess with everything.", spinning the beam all around and melting the cheese in the cheese wheel. Kim and Ron narrowly escape while Drakken's plan is foiled. Kim returns home still without money, but Ron, who still has his paycheck, buys her the jacket she wanted. Nevertheless, when Ned walks up wearing the same jacket, Kim and Ron agree to exchange it.
[edit] Fast-food franchise
Bueno Nacho (parody of Taco Bell, Taco Bueno and Del Taco) is the name of the fictional fast food chain Kim and Ron regularly meet and eat at after school. The fast-food chain is best known for its Naco and Chimurito.
A Naco is a combination of nachos and a taco served stuffed with tortilla chips for an added crunch. The Naco was invented by Ron. Through the vast popularity of the Naco, Ron received a royalty check for 99 million dollars one year after his invention; "A nickel for every Naco sold". That calculates to 1,980,000,000 Nacos sold in one year. It is unknown if Ron continued to get royalty checks since.
In the episode Go Team Go, it has been stated that the new, improved Bueno Nacho store in Go City chose not to serve the Naco as a result of consumer preference, much to Ron's chagrin.
A Chimurito is a fictional combination of a chimichanga and a burrito. Ron usually orders one in grandé size topped with Diablo Sauce.
[edit] Trivia
- This episode feature the most lines spoken by Ned in a single episode.
- although this is the first episode by production order, Tick-Tick-Tick precceds it chronologically.
- First appearance (in universe chronology) of Kim's grappling launcher.
- The word "naco", in Mexican slang, describes a distasteful person, much like English "tacky".
