Taco Bell

It’s OK.. It’s fast food so is good for that. Line moves pretty fast most days. .Never tried the KFC food but Taco Bell is good.

Nasty.
KFC Chicken was old. Mac & cheese was old. All rubbery & discolored. Mexican pizzas are my favorite at TB & this one I couldn’t even eat. ¼ of it was a huge chunk of tomato paste/​sauce. Tortillas were old almost like they’d been fried a few extra times? The ground need didn’t white taste r
High chairs felt like they hadn’t ever been wiped down — sticky nasty gooey wood. Floors were super slippery.
My kids comments: «X. Disgusting. Gross. Yucky.»

Taco Bell has been pretty good to me. It reliably offers Mexicanish, semi-​edible products that filled in the early gaps in my fast food education. It got my broke ass through the majority of college, one chicken fiesta burrito at a time. It offers my favorite condiment package-​based hot sauce, the oversold but undeniably tasty Fire. Taco Bells are usually boring, reliable, consistent, like any other fast food joint, and that’s a good reason to avoid reviewing them. But this one’s extra special.
This Bell has managed a remarkable string of botched orders, screwing up at least one part of the meal in each of my three visits. This place has the added temptation of being a half TB, half KFC, offering twice the menu and twice the opportunity for fuck ups. The first of these goofs was basic — a ten piece chicken bite order delivered as six, replaced after the correction by the same box shoved back to me with eight. I decided against going back and asking for the last two because I thought those would probably come back with some «special coating». The second time, Taco Bell suffered a registration error and started handing out orders one buyer off, meaning I got the order of the person in front of me, who ordered one of KFC’s special bowls of gravy-​drowned death. They fixed this by remaking my order, and then handed me the next guy’s order a second time. I still don’t want your bowl of death, Taco Bell.
The third goof session was epic. Reverse the above registration error, add a mix of «wait, now whose order is this?» second attempt, sprinkle a bit of «you said verde sauce, right?» after a Fire request, a double charge and finally a manager’s «wait over in the parking lot» request while he verbally accosted his obviously inept staff.
On top of everything else, the food itself is sad even by Taco Bell standards. The KFC chicken variants are often overdone, the burritos and double deckers tend to be underfilled, and I once received a Diet Pepsi that looked and tasted surprisingly like Sierra Mist. I’m also fairly certain this Taco Bell doesn’t actually have any straws, because I’ve never received one with my drink.
Look, there are Taco Bells all over creation, and by now I’m sure I’ve eaten at about fifty of them. Given the level of ineptitude here, which almost requires premeditation or some level of sick genius, it’s about time that I move on to another.
