Taco bell is Taco bell. This particular location in Arlington has always been pretty solid the 10+ times I’ve been to it. I’ve had some 5 star experiences, I’ve had some 2 star experiences, but most of them have middled between there. The staff is usually pretty fast when going through the drive thru or going in and ordering. They aren’t stingy with the sauce and are generally pretty nice! This is a solid Taco Bell

I am not one to review taco bells nor frequent them on a regular basis but the wifey had a craving so we made a stop! This is probably the best Taco Bell I have ever been to. Clean, great service, and good food.

What can I really say about Taco Bell that you don’t already know? The parking here is plentiful, the staff here is nice and they always get my order right. Fire sauce is obviously the bomb but the newer extra hot sauce doesn’t have to much flavor. Lava sauce is my jam.

*****TACOBELLCORPORATEPLEASEREAD***** You need to figure out a way to clone Kahsay. This guy is a perfect example of what good customer service is friendly, kind, professional, courteous and fast. Not to mention he got all five people that order while I was waiting for my food to help local teens by donating to your Taco Bell foundation to help local teens graduate.

I used to work as a fast food cashier and I know that this is unacceptable. I did not like how«trained» these cashiers are. The cashier lady i had to deal with had to repeat my order constantly, along with asking me again and again, «for here or to go?» dont know how many times it takes for her to understand exactly what the hell im trying to order, A NUMBER2WITH A SOFTTACO. in the end she didnt get the meat right.

It’s just so frustrating when you get home and were charged for items and they aren’t in your take out bag. I called and there was nothing that they would do about charging me items and then not giving them to me. It’s really sad to get home with dinner and one of your kids doesn’t have any!

Now I know much cannot be expected of fast food joints, especially Taco Bell which can run on the lower end of the spectrum, but my last visit to this location was terrible and I will not be back again. I went with my boyfriend and we decided we actually wanted to sit down inside instead of doing drive through. Now I know sometimes its hard for fast food workers to take your order, especially with iffy speakers in the drive-through, but its unacceptable for them to screw it up when you are standing less than 2 feet away from the counter. The woman who took our order BARELY spoke English, which is usually not a problem for me because I can interpret anything from babytalk and girlcry to Albanian and Ndebele/Shona(Zimbabwean, A-Z, see what I did there?) but this woman was quiet, and got quieter as my boyfriend and I tried to correct our orders with her. She ended up charging us for 3 items we did not ask for and when we went to correct the receipt, the manager could not be conveniently«found.» So we ended up paying for items we didn’t even eat. The tables and floors are sticky, the bathrooms look like they should be quarantined by the CDC and all of the drinks were overly watered down, so my Baja Blast and my boyfriend’s Dr. Pepper had a tint of color. He and I both got incredibly sick about 2 – 3 hours after eating there, but I guess that’s what you get for eating at low class fast-food joints?

First of all, it’s em-burrassing how much I’m here. I’m all gluten-free, dairy-free, organic and healthified, except for my indiscretions, my dalliances, my everyday epic fails at Taco Bell. I don’t know what it is with Taco Bell and me. I’m at the point now where everyone knows me here. We’re super close to «see you tomorrow» but we’re still officially in «we’ll see you soon» territory. I’m doing my best to keep it that way. I can’t help it. Everyone is just so, nice. I’m always greeted with a cheerful hello, fast service and reliably delicious eats. I can’t ask for more than that, especially when I’m not in the mood to cook. Which, is always. My favorite indulgence is their veggie cantina bowl — basically a southwest style salad with guacamole and rice. It seems like it may even have some nutritional value. I always order crispy tacos with chicken, which you won’t find on the menu, but they are happy to prepare, if you just ask. This drive-thru, like all other Taco Bells I’ve visited, is a well oiled machine and their employees are polished and professional. I always leave with a satisfied smile. Note to any prospective visitors — getting here is tricky. KFC and Taco Bell are next door to one another and there is only one entry to both restaurants. You actually have to go through the KFC parking lot, avoiding the drive-thru, and around back to link up with Taco Bell. It adds up to a lot of confusion on a regular basis. Make sure you’re on your game when you’re here and keep your foot on the brake pedal.

Taco Bell is one of my favorite food groups, but this one really ruins it for me. Incredibly slow service.

My experience with this Taco Bell establishment was sadly substandard. Twas 10:30am on the first Sunday morning after Taco Bell started serving breakfast. My friends and I woke up with an appetite for a Mexican breakfast, as we were still feeling the affects of the alcohol consumed the night before. Our first thought: T Bell. But alas, it was 10:20, did they stop serving at 10:30 like the Golden Arches? We then Unilocaled the nearest Taco Bell, and were disappointed at its low 2.5 star rating. We decided to ignore the reviews and hope the shrug guy wasn’t working, although at this point we might have just eaten an AM Crunchwrap that had fallen to the floor. We called this establishment and were excited to be informed that breakfast stopped being served at 11. It was merely 10:37 — plenty of time. We piled into the car with butterfly stomachs impending the unique experience our taste buds were about to encounter. We drove to said 2.5 star rating establishment filled with glee. PSA: make sure to concentrate on the signs of the road despite your excitement. It’s easy to go the wrong way into the parking lot and get flicked off by some bitch. Sorry bout it, just tryna get me a waffle taco. We walked into Taco Bell at 10:52, ecstatic that we had time to spare! The atmosphere was lively. A crowd of intoxicated foodies passionate about breakfast in taco form waited in line to order. I even saw three people I knew. This was a party! Just as we were debating the merits of the Waffle Taco vs. the AM Crunchwrap, tragedy struck. The cashier told the group of still-drunk people in front of us that they would be the last breakfast order of the day. Our shoulders dropped. Was this a joke? April Fool’s was 2 days away! Then salt was rubbed in our still fresh wounds: they were out of bacon. The drunken mob erupted. It wasn’t even 11 yet! We called and were given a positive confirmation that breakfast would be served until then!!! How could you deprive us of this food experience! Their suggestion??? Get this: they said we should come back TOMORROW, on a MONDAY. No, I don’t want to consume my first waffle taco in advance of a workday. I don’t have time to be sitting on the toilet all day. That’s what SUNDAYS are for. So we left.

Worst Taco Bell on earth. The dining room is a mess. The employees seem terribly confused. And it took over 10 minutes for a chicken burrito supreme. How is that even possible? And it seemed everyone was having this problem.

One of the most pleasant tbells I’ve ever been to. Thoroughly shocked at the cleanliness and enthusiastic employees. The food was fresher than most and delivered to my table at a rapid pace. If you’re looking for a late night meal or just want to enjoy a nice night at tbell, I recommend going out of the way for this enthusiastic establishment.

Approach without any preconceived notions about fast food, and you’ll be pleased. I remember the Taco Bell of my youth being soggy, limp, and just plain gross. Either my standards for food have deteriorated from my pre-teen days, or Taco Bell has picked it up. Veggies are fresh and plentiful, I don’t detect the strange chemical-is odor I find in McDonalds, and presentation is pretty clean. What you get actually looks pretty close to the advertisement version. Our standard pick-up is a beef chalupa for me and an extra crunchwrap supreme for him. Now I’m not fooling myself into thinking that I’m getting my daily fill of veggies and nutrients through Taco Bell, but on one of those days when you can’t be bothered to decide what to do for dinner, this place ain’t half bad. If you haven’t been to a Taco Bell for several years, I suggest you give it a try. As long as you don’t have particularly high expectations of fast food, I can almost guarantee you won’t be disappointed.

Terrible location. I’ve been to a quite a few Taco Bells in my time and this is by far the worst one I have encountered. I have given it several chances, trying both the drive through and the lobby service, hoping it would be good since its so close to my work. The drive thru service terrible, the kid at the counter tries to make jokes that are both rude and insulting. Everything about this place from the staff to the food to the cleanliness of the inside is absolutely below standard for any fast food establishment.

I’m normally a big fan of taco bell BUT This place is a walking health code violation. Do NOT eat here… Went by after work today. Ordered food. Watched the cashier DROP it on the FLOOR. Picked it up, shrugged at his coworker and then turned around and tried to serve it to me like I didn’t just watch it happen. When I questioned the guy, he lied, changed his story and lied again. Kid couldn’t keep a straight face, was obviously high or a complete idiot. The Health inspector needs to make a serious visit to this facility

Two stars because it’s horrible, or five stars because it’s Taco Bell? I can’t decide! This is probably the most poorly-run Taco Bell I’ve ever seen in my life. If you walk up to the counter you may or may not get to speak to someone within 10 minutes. And it doesn’t really matter anyway, because the odds of you getting what you order are about zero. And they’re almost always out of something. Usually napkins, or sauce, or something else important. It also seems like they have a major employee retention problem. I swear that every time I’ve been there, a manager was either teaching the employees in the back how to make items or interviewing prospective employees. But the food comes in bags from corporate, and it’s all made from the same 10 or so delicious components, so it tastes great!

Admittedly the drive up is slow as all can be, but the service inside is second to none. They are incredibly quick and friendly. The entire place is relatively clean, including the bathroom. The employees generally seem happy to be there, which is a sign that the place isn’t bad. I will also happily report that inside you can get the«green» sauce… which is the one step above fire. Availability for a while was limited, but it seems at this Taco Bell at least you can get it by the package full!

I think this is actually a Taco Bell, KFC(next door), Pizza Hut hybrid. Which is an impressive feat of culinary excellence; three entirely different genres of food squeezed into one little roof. And this used to be the best, most reliable, efficient fast food joint in the Arlington area. But recently the quality has dipped; they got some new staff, especially in the drive-thru, and I swear to f’ing god in like six trips they have never give me my Fire Sauce. They ask me if I want any sauce. I say Fire please, but when I get home there is no Fire Sauce! I want my fire sauce! Okay?! I’m not happy when I order an amazingly healthy Cheesy Gordita Crunch and there is no god damn Fire Sauce!!! Whew. There. I feel better. Let’s all take two deep breathes. Let’s calm down here. Let’s try and pull it together. There. That wasn’t so bad, was it?
