Taco Bell

Slowest drive thru ever. Been in line 10 – 15 minutes already and I’m only 4^th in line. No napkins. No straw. ugh.

Taco Bell is the best, it seems to hit a magical sweet spot where the food is just trashy enough to be a guilty pleasure, but not so horrible it’s inedible. Definintely go to this taco bell in Ann Arbor. This AA’s gourmet Taco Bell, whereas the one on State st. has a sign that says «most improved» behind the counter, and that one’s still not great. The only bad experience I’ve had here is when the ran out of fire sauce, but I was okay since I make sure to keep a stash in the glove compartment.
The number one item on the menu, for me, has got to be the cheesy gordita crunch. Check this out– it’s basically a beef taco supreme inside of a gordita shell, but it has nacho cheese in between. I like to turn it sideways, like a sandwich and then slather 3 – 4 packets of fire sauce on top. If you like this one, the quesarito is another great addition to Taco Bell’s Russian doll approach to Mexican food.
Another great go to is the #6. I’ve been ordering the double chalupa combo since I was little and it’s never disappointed. Unfortunately, Taco Bell doesn’t have a cheesy chalupa crunch, because that would easily be the best item to ever grace the Taco Bell menu.
You’ve also got to try the Crunchwrap Supreme. Once you’ve experienced it, you can even make it at home. They take a burrito-​sized tortilla then put a bunch of beef and nacho cheese on top of it. On top of that goes a crispy corn tortilla and then lettuce, tomato, sour cream, and cheese. Where do you come up with this stuff Taco Bell?
The holy grail of Taco Bell food has got to be the grilled stuft nacho. It’s a triangle of heaven. Nacho cheese, sour cream, ground beef, and those little red tortilla chips all wrapped up in a tortilla and grilled.
All in all, when it’s 2am and you’re starving, you just can’t do better than Taco Bell. This one even has a McDonalds conveniently situated next to it, so you can head out of the drive through, hang a right on Stadium, then pull right into the McDonald’s parking lot to pig out. I think WE ALL KNOW it would be sacrilege to eat the food in the actual Taco Bell parking lot, and this location has got you covered. While admittedly a McDonald’s parking lot next door is not quite as good as a Denny’s parking lot, it still solidly beats the state st location, which only has the taco bell parking lot that, unless they repaved it, looks like it was hit by an asteroid. So what do you say, wanna go to Taco Bell?

Came in because I was hungry for tacos. Drive-​thru is absolutely full, going out to the street. Could barely get into the parking lot. Once in, no one is staffing the front counter and there is a customer ahead of me. Looks bad.
A young girl in a Taco Bell hat comes to the register and she is on a mobile phone on a PERSONAL call! I do not care about your personal affairs, I want my freaking tacos! Register needs to be set up with cash drawer and receipt paper and the whole program. After patiently waiting 8 minutes (yes, I timed it), I left. Apparently they did not give a rat’s backside about me nor my business. So did a bunch of workers call in sick or no-​show today?
Keep it up this way and this location will no longer be in business. Guy who came in after me was pissed and he left too. More lost business and pissed-​off customers. FAIL TODAY. Will try again some day in the future or elsewhere. Oh well.

Consistently the slowest Taco Bell ever. One time I couldn’t get in from the drive through line being backed up into the street. As I write this I’ve been waiting 16 minutes and counting for 3 tacos. I’m the only one here. I’ll always eat Taco Bell, I’ll just be sure to avoid this one.

The food is delicious, obviously. The staff at this Taco Bell often seem flustered, but are always friendly. I wish they were open later on weeknights, more than once I’ve sat in the drive-​thru trying to order to no avail.

I’ve been to this Taco Bell before, and the service was amazing. Giving me free large pops and a deal on a meal. But the last time I went there, I was with about 7 of my closest friends and it was at about 10:00. We’re trying to sit down go to the bathroom and eat. But when we walk up to the door, it’s locked. The poster on the door said that their lobby was open until midnight. So we walk up to the front and a worker says «We don’t have enough to run the lobby, just use the drive through.» At this point we got kind of aggro, so we didn’t get anything from there. We thought that running both is the same as running one or the other. We’re students that were hanging out at the arb for a while. And instead of going to the wave field, we go to get stopped and turned around. That put a damper on the night. Don’t go at night. Because they don’t know how to run lobby’s.

Some good and some bad which works out to a decent Taco Bell location.
First, the good stuff. I love the soda dispenser, a truly excellent selection of pop to drink while you wait for your taco or burrito. Also having the all of your various hot sauce packets on the table is a HUGE plus… I use a lot of the stuff (and may or may not have pocketed some for the road) so this is clutch. The restaurant is acceptably clean and fairly conveniently located just a mile off the interstate for hungry, weary travellers such as myself.
On the downside the service wasn’t super. The person taking my order was friendly enough but my 7-​Layer Burrito took forever and I’m pretty sure they actually forgot about me until I piped up. There’s a row of three parking spots (where I of course happened to park) that are impossible to get out of if a lineup develops in the drive thru, as was the case when I tried to leave! One nice person finally let me out but those three spots are really ill-​advised. And finally like I said before, just average cleanliness… could have been better, although the bathroom was in good shape.
As an aside, why is the 7-​Layer Burrito not available as a combo? I’m pretty sure that’s a head office thing but still fairly annoying. And also, Taco Bell Canada really needs to get with the program and start carrying the «Fire» sauce…“Hot” just isn’t hot enough. I know that no one who can actually do anything about it will read this but seriously this is why I had to swipe some. Just sayin’.

I don’t go to Taco Bell often and depending on which location you go, the quality of service differs so much… on this visit, my nephews were visiting and we went to this location on our way to the Outlet mall… it wasn’t busy and the cashier that was taken drugs seemed out of it… it took a while to get our order (I understand, we ordered a lot)… and my sister ordered a coffee and we waited…
As for the coffee, looks like they use the K-​Cup (single cup) machine… so the same cashier that took our order started the coffee… the coffee just sat there for five minutes as the cashier was just walking around… then I finally asked the cashier for the coffee and the only thing the cashier said was, ‘Oh yeah right’… then grabbed the coffee and gave it to us.
It took some time to get our food, but we were happy to get it since we were hungry… the tacos are still the same from my younger days, nothing has changed… the tables could be cleaner… as for the overall experience, I guess one can say typical Taco Bell experience? Like I said, it all depends on which location you go to… but at least the food should taste the same :)

I’m not proud of this but my fella and I do get Taco Bell fairly regularly these days. We both have such weird schedules that a lot of time a drive thru late night run ends up our dinner every so often. So, the bulk of my review here lies with the late night crew and how completely AWFUL it’s gotten.
The building is newer and inside is clean. Going inside during the day is ok, but at night. Man, I don’t know. Understaffed? There’s always an older lady running the drive thru and while she’s VERY nice and sweet she’s always a bit harried and prone to mistakes. Sometimes I seriously get the feeling that she’s the only one in there late at night. In which case, is it really her fault? IDK. All I know is that more than once we’ve gotten home with an incorrect order. Hard tacos that should have been soft, tomatoes when we asked for an order without, etc. Also the quality REALLY drops after 9pm. I mean, it’s Taco Bell so the quality is questionable in general but dang. This is extreme.
For example, last week I got three soft tacos and they were a hot mess. Or maybe a lukewarm mess is more accurate. I’m not sure how they managed to be both mushy and stale at the same time but they were. They were rolled up and the filling seems like it had been sitting there for a while, and the soft taco shells were so stale that they were crunchy. Gross.
A few times we’ve gone and there has been a really nice younger gent running the show and each time we’ve gotten him our order has been fine. But lately I’d say 75% of the time it’s a disaster.

Customer service is really good here. I always go at night time here and they always put extra ingredients in what ever I order

Went there with a couple friends. It took a little bit longer to order because it looked like someone may have been on break so the woman working the register was also working drive thru but she was flawless! The line went super quick and the food came out to be the freshest taco bell I’ve ever had. We dined in and while we were eating they brought us all complementary cinnamin twists to apologize for the «wait». Those were super fresh too! Oh and they picked up our trays after we finished. Best taco bell ever. Team Rio rocks

This is one of the better Taco Bell’s in the area. The food almost always comes out good and the employees are nice.
I’m addicted to the new smothered burrito, it’s SO good!

Are you drunk?
Is it 2:30 am?
Do you live anywhere west of Main St. in A2?
Do you have a sober person to drive you?
If you answered yes to the 4 questions above, the W. Stadium Taco Bell would be a good option for you. In addition to some predictably mundane loosely taco-​based fast food, you’ll be treated to delightful conversation with the friendly and professional staff. Also, anything that they serve in a flour tortilla, you can request to have grilled. This is particularly awesome because it gets the ooey-​gooey cheesy «meaty» beany filling nice and hot and makes the tortilla pleasantly crispy. Nummers!
What’s really great is that they patiently put up with your drunk ass, then for a few meager dollars give you a sackful of the best hangover prevention medication money can buy.

This is definitely the classiest TB in town. We love the napkins and sauces being right on the table! And the staff is really friendly. My husband and I are huge TB fans, and this is our favorite one!

Oh boy … I picked up two taco salads on a Sunday around 11 am. My wife and I took them home and our first bites were our last. There was something clearly wrong and we phoned the restaurant to let them know they had a big problem. It took 15 rings for someone to finally answer the phone and grudgingly, they agreed to check their ingredients. We rushed back with the salads for a refund and the manager discovered the problem. It seems they hadn’t changed their cooking oil so that’s why the food tasted horrible. They did provide a refund but we’ll never go back. If they can’t remember to change the cooking oil, what else are they forgetting? Hmm…

The service at this Taco Bell is unlike any I’ve encountered before. It keeps me coming back! They seem to try really hard here.
The napkin & taco sauce setups they have at the tables are adorable.

My order included a chicken burrito and cinniminis and i got a chicken taco and no ciniminis. Everything else was cold. The left turn is actually past the left turn lane so it’s sort of dangerous. Idunno, is this too harsh for taco bell? I know you get what you pay for, but well, i didnt…

Holy god. Don’t expect to go in here and get out in anything less than 20 minutes. I do kind of enjoy Taco Bell – I’ll admit it – and I have gone inside to get food maybe 8 times in the past year and a half. Every. single. time. it takes an insanely, obscenely long time to get my food. And it’s not even busy at all. One time I was the only person there. The employees move at a snail’s pace and they seem confused by the most basic orders. The problem is, this is the only place I can grab a 99 cent bean burrito within miles. Oh, the life I lead!

I normally wouldn’t write a review like this, rate it like this, or write about a chain that’s this big period, but I do have a story that gives this Taco Bell a special place in my stomach.
I was having a hard day last year, hearing that I’d been spurned from an internship I’d wanted pretty desperately and pursued quite aggressively, and to cope, my friend and I went to Taco Bell. Hah.
We dined in — and the gentleman at the counter delivered our food to our table on a tray, asked us if we needed anything, and then came back for a 2-​bite checkup to see how everything was. That’s almost better service than I get at some other kinds of sit-​down restaurants…
It was just the experience I could go back and tell everyone about and to get the rejection off my mind.
Taco Bell on Stadium, you rock.
