Taco Bell

I frequent this place more than I like to admit, being that it is on my way home from work and open late, but the last two times I came here I can only believe they are messing with me on purpose. They inexplicably added beef to by 7 layer burrito (I’m a vegetarian) and today the woman at the drive through actually screamed at me when I told her I had the wrong drink. «I didn’t take your order! It says this drink on the order! It’s not my fault!!» And refused to charge the happy hour price first because she said it wasn’t 2 yet when I ordered (the receipt says 2:03) and then she claimed it was because I didn’t specifically ask for the happy hour price which I’ve never had to do.
Taking out your bad day on customers is super lame, I’m always overly polite to fast food employees, having been one myself I know how tough the job can be. Doesn’t excuse this level of bizarre hostility over some darn tacos. Sheesh.

God, I love taco bell from the bottom of my heart, and this food at this one is not bad and is usually all correct, even with special instructions for all of my girlfriends food, but every single time I come here I wait in line for an hour. No joke, the last two times I’ve been here now I have waited in line for an hour. 60 minutes. I have never waited so long to get food a monkey could make. Not fast food at all. You need to be determined to eat some taco bell to go through this taco hell

I love me some Taco Bell, but this particular location straight up sucks. Of course, the ONE Taco Bell they decide to put Uptown has to suck.
My normal order is a combo 11: 3 Doritos Locos Tacos. Always Fiery. Always Supreme. They never fail to charge me for Supreme, yet twice now they forget to put the sour cream and tomatoes on the tacos. The first time was Mardi Gras Day. Of course the restaurant was a clusterfuck, so I tried to be very patient and understanding. After waiting for over 20 minutes, I noticed that people who ordered after me already had their food. I mentioned something to the cashier/​manager, and she went back to ask them about it; it was obvious they had forgotten/​skipped my order. After I finally got the tacos, they were not Supreme as I had ordered. I went back to the register and the same manager said, «I didn’t charge you for Supreme.» I then had to dig up the receipt and point out that she did, in fact, charge me for Supreme. With a MAJOR attitude, she took the tacos back and added sour cream and tomatoes to them.
This place seems to run like all the other fast food joints in NOLA: terribly.

In the last 3 visits, twice they forgot the quac and salsa in the California am crunchwrap. Eggs and hashbrowns are good but when you are looking forward to the item you actually ordered and don’t get it that’s annoying. Time to educate your employees on what the menu items are.

They have definitely stepped up there game!
I had a pretty complicated order but the guy at the drive thru was very patient and read me back my order.
They nailed the order, food was great!
Will return here more often!

As opposed to most other reviews, which are generally written for people questioning whether or not they should visit a certain establishment, this review is specifically written for the sole purpose of convincing any and all people giving Taco Bell anything less than five stars that they should either change their reviews or kindly fuck off.
Taco Bell is the epitome of everything that is ideal in our present day society. Taco Bell is the solution to all the world’s problems. Taco Bell is life.
Drunkenly pontificating about the future effects that Taco Bell will have on my soul whilst attempting to finish my 32oz can of Steel Reserve has led me to one and only one conclusion: Fire sauce is fucking fire.
The Chalupa, however unoriginal it might be in the grand context of pseudo-​Tex Mex cuisine, cannot be dropped. The Gordita, with all its charming and versatile characteristics, will soon bestow endless warmth upon even the most languid of all starving souls once the world is yet again deserving of its mere presence. The Nacho Belle Grand and the Mexican pizza would bring the likes of Michelangelo, Picasso, or even Salvador DalÍ to shame with all it’s colorful and imaginative grandeur.
The secret to Ash Williams’ triumph over the dark powers of the Necronomicon? Taco Bell. The reason why Drew Brees was able to overcome the favored Payton Manning in Super Bowl XLIV? Taco Bell. The reason why Al Roker, despite all his misplaced political passive-​aggressiveness, is so fucking happy in the morning? Fucking Fire Sauce, brah.
Taco Bell, no matter its location*, has shown consistency, stellar customer service, cleanliness, superior staff knowledge, speed, accuracy, agility, endurance and, most importantly, honesty right down to its core. So go, now, and get you some Taco Bell. It will make your days brighter and your nights more magical. Each new scratch you put into your front fender as you hurriedly pull into the drive-​in will be met with choirs of angels gloriously tearing back every layer of the firmament as they sing praises of your triumphant return.
*Please note that the ambience of the S. Claiborne location is particularly enchanting.

This is by far the epitome of poor service. Workers who are not on the clock sit around swearing and yelling before their shift starts, yelling «y’all aren’t busy» even though I’m clearly in line and no has taken my order.
The service is also quite slow. If I can help it, I’ll never come here again.

Taco Bell have some good prices. They also have some nice food. I love the that spicy sauce they serve the customers. Those cinnamon twist sticks are wonderful.

Taco Bell saves my life every week. Specifically this Taco Bell.
Especially when you’re making a complete fool of yourself after 2am.
God Bless this location.

Good for a drive-​thru on the way back from work when no other alternative exists.

Well, I drove up and ordered and they gave me the food in a timely manner. It doesn’t get much better than that, right?

Have you ever felt like you were going to get shot in the face while ordering a chalupa? Great location…

Clean, quick, friendly. The cashier didn’t bat an eye when I asked for my tacos «no meat, beans instead.» Just rang me up and I got exactly what I wanted. You can’t ask for more than that.

I don’t usually like fast food, because it’s so bad for me and the veggie options fries and those disgusting cardboard veggie patties. So pretty much the only fast food with options for me is Taco Smell. So I was pretty happy to know there is a new one on Claiborne. Only 2 blocks from the previous Taco Bell that closed years back.
Well, as with most restaurants in this franchise they’re slow and you better check your order since it’s wrong or missing items.
Tonight was our second visit to this location. Drive thru was speedy around 10:30pm. Forgot to check the bag, got home, and half the order was missing. I’d go back, but they didn’t give a receipt and I’d spend more in gas than the $ 3 in food I was missing. They did remember to sub beans for meat though, so I could eat what we did get.
In short, edible, late night, fridge is empty, munchie food. But don’t forget to check the bag.

That crazy ‘couture’ menu with the female chef? No beuno.

Seriously… it’s a Taco Bell. Which is Spanish for Explosive Diarrhea!
It usually lives up to it’s name but that’s not necessarily a good thing.

I was excited to know a taco bell is near. The location is new and clean… but still Taco Bell~ (I tried a huge burrito, with avocados. I enjoyed it and left stuffed!)

Not worth the wait. We stopped in last weekend post-​parades when we noticed that the drive thru line was not overflowing onto Claiborne for a change. There was only one register open despite a lengthy line and a number of employees working. We waited 15 minutes to get our food. When we finally did get our food, there was a hair stuck to the outside of one of our quesadillas and the soft tacos were half hanging out of their wrappers. I know it’s Taco Bell and expectations aren’t very high, but it was just overall slow and sloppy. The place has been really getting slammed recently, so maybe they’re just overwhelmed and hopefully the service will improve with time.
