Type:  T a c o [space] B e l l [space] [backspace]

This will trick the AutoFill.

Sorry, there's no way to create a shortcut.  However the QuickFill should
be pretty good so you only need to type 'ta' and it should get close to
'Taco Bell'.  If you have similar descriptions, e.g. "Tace Bell" and
"Taco Hell" then you can use the right-arrow to get to the break.  E.g., you
could type:  t a [right-arrow] h       and it would auto fill as
"Taco Bell", then "Taco ", then "Taco Hell".
