tend to try vs. want to try

[jokaec1]

Person A: Have you tried that restaurant?
Person B:
1) That's what I want to try.
2) That's what I tend to try.

Are they both correct? If so, what is the difference and which one is more common?

#1 and #2 are not natural responses to that question.
Say:
"No, but I'd like to."
or
"No I haven't, but it's on my list."

Thank you! Maybe my example is not good. What I am curious is if "tend to try" is more euphemistic than "want to try"?

"Tend" and "want" have different meanings. I don't see it as an issue of "euphemism".

I think you're mixing up "tend" and "intend".

Have you been to that restaurant?
No, but I plan to try it.
No, but I intend to try it.
