TACOSMELL? Nah more like TACODELICIOUS! my TWIN fraaand and i rocked the party and drank all the bacardi on a cold 12/31/2015…translation we just drank a lot and needed food to soak up said alkeehol on said New Year’s Eve! he called ahead and they said they were open… on the way there… they actually called back and said they were closing soon and that they’d stay open for us. how cool is that?! and they are a chain restaurant… good people are errywhere even at fast food eateries… see where your cynicism take you… nowhere. the kind folks at this Taco Bell did stay open as we dynamically duo-ed across East Harlem streets ready to order. the staff was really nice as we attempted to make an immaculate order of tacos, burritos, gorditas, nachos, etc. total damage over $ 60! the Taco Bellers quickly assembled our monster order and had us on our way back to boozing the night away as 2016 leapt in. the food? mucho awesomeO. salty, cheesey, meaty, crunch gluttony. so good it was bad! these guys make a mean BACONQUESARITO which be RIDIC! indulge my friends. the staff? super nice. called us back to let us know they were closing(which was super cool of them). food prep was fast and the TACOBELL itself was super clean… however it was end of shift so they just cleaned it. this TB location has the old Taco Bell layout not the renovated look, but the place still looks newish. it’s well-maintained. brightly lit. and should be a solid quick breakfast, lazy lunch or late night food spot. drops mic because i have a burrito supreme and a quesadilla to HANDLE! i out. zzz

Ok! The food was delicious. I have been sidetracked for awhile, so I finally got around to finish my review. Anyway, the food was hot and fresh! The only grievance I have is with the long wait time. Fix that, and the restaurant would improve.

This taco bell is conveniently located on my way home from the 103rd st station. I’m a regular and most of the staff seem to remember me. I usually order the same things over and over, mainly soft tacos, bean burritos, and doritos locos tacos. They always get those right so no complaints. I cant really vouch for the other items, except that their quesadillas seem to be sub par. Its a reliable place to get a taco and I’ll continue to go there.

Two stars for accessibility. I felt that the cashier and shift manager had a less than stellar attitude when it came to picking up my order. It’s a Saturday, it’s nice outside, and you have to work with the general public. I get it. However, A little patience goes a long way. I guess I must have caught them on a bad day. The food, as always is good.

After countless pass bys, the huge signs of am crunch wraps, waffle tacos, and inception attempts from Anthony P, I finally crumbled and decided to try tacobells breakfast. Décor: Its a smaller store, limited seating. Relatively clean Service: No complaints, my order was made really really quickly Food: The AM crunch wrap — smaller in diameter but thicker than the regular crunch wrap, I went for the steak option. Filled with steak, egg, shredded cheddar, and a crunchy hashbrown! I found the quality of the ingredients to really outshine other fast food options.(ahem McDonald’s). The cheese was not a processed sauce, and the steak did not taste like rubber. ++points for all you can eat self serve hot sauces, try the fire sauce Coffee made to order with coffee pods

This is the 2nd time I’ve went to this Taco Bell. I was going to skip it based on my first bad experience but all I kept thinking about is how my friend Pete told me about their new breakfast burrito and that’s all I could think about. I went in, there were 2 other people in line, whom both looked annoyed. All I had was a Fifty dollar bill and he said he couldn’t change it. «It’s early in the day, ask your manager» I said. The woman manager came out and gave me a snarl of death. She looked my bill up and down to make sure it was ligament which was kind of offensive but whatever. She gave me back my change and I’m quite certain that her way of punishing me for making her make change was when she gave me my change, which included 50 cents, she gave it to me in all nickles and dimes. «Seriously?» I said. She didn’t say anything and walked back into her troll layer where she belongs. She was very ugly so I’m sure when she can she likes to abuse her power because it makes her feel better for being so ugly. The guy behind the register was nice. He seemed a little confused but he was nice. I l liked him. As for the food, I had a disgusting chewy thing in my Burrito. I will NOT be going back to this Taco Bell again as I think they should either fire the current manager and replace her with someone that is actually capable of doing her easy job.

Terrible service at night. Showed up around 10:15PM(closing is 11), ordered my food, then they decided to serve the person who ordered after me before taking care of my order… To top it all off, my order came without my side of lava sauce, and without my Doritos. Took about 20 minutes, maybe more, before I got my «fast» food, and I was pretty much the only person in the store. I walked home(5 min) and unwrapped my food, of course, all of it was cold, lukewarm at best. I’ll be going back since they’re the only taco bell around. Edit: After further examining the food, I’d like to add that the crunch wrap supreme had no melted cheese in it, and the 5 layer burrito was nearly empty, it was basically just a roll of bread with a little(emphasis on «little») beef and sour cream inside it. Maybe I won’t be going back, at least not at night.

This is a pretty unique taco bell-pizza hut express+ hybrid. It offers the regular expected menu plus an expanded pizza hut menu including full pies and even some of the specialty pies. They offer a real nice daily special of a personal pie and drink for $ 4. Unfortunately the taste of the food is always off. It might just be me but it doesn’t taste like any other taco ball pizza hut I’ve been too.

After a drunken excursion at nearby dive bar The Duck then Taco Bell is pretty boss! It’s a Taco Bell by itself only which is a rarity nowadays as most have another fast food restaurant co-located with them. This location is fairly new and clean. Nice counter staff. Plus, they were playing 80’s metal when I stumbled in here the other night. Winning! Nothing better than to soak up all the cheap booze I just drowned my liver in than a bunch of cheap bean burritos, hard shell tacos, gorditas, and cinnamon twists. Washed down with a diet Pepsi of course! Now two days later and my butthole and toilet bowl are still really pissed at me.

There was a piece of wire in my burrito today. As a human being — and as a woman 6 months pregnant, I don’t think this is the safest or most sanitary thing. Not going back.

Stopped in to try the Doritos Locos tacos that people are going absolutely batshit loco about, and they weren’t bad. I ordered up both the Ranch and Nacho cheese varieties. I’d get it again if I wanted something different. This is a standalone location, not merged with another restaurant. That’s great considering there’s a KFC like 2 blocks away.

I ordered the new Cantina Bell Bowl with chicken and have to say I was pleasantly surprised. It was full of flavor. The place was clean and employees were pleasant. I could do without the crazy homeless lady striking poses right next to my table though.
