Taco Bell

It’s Taco Bell. You get what you expect from here. The place is looking nice now that they demolished the old building and built this new one.
Nothing special to say about Taco Bell. Quick fast tacos and nothing special.

This place was closed for awhile, and the building was torn down and rebuilt from scratch. So naturally it is pristine.
The food is your typical Taco Bell fare — crap. But sometimes that’s exactly what you want. I’m a junk food junkie. Embarrassing, yes, but true none the less. It is believed by many that I was Lorelai Gilmore in a past life. Sometimes you’re looking for a beef burrito that isn’t quite real beef with cheese that is one molecule away from being plastic. That’s exactly what you get here. Is it high quality food? No. But is it exactly what you’d expect to get? Yes. I think people tend to rate fast food joints too harshly. You gotta know what you’re getting into.
The food at this location is neatly prepared, which is not always the case at Taco Bell. So that’s awesome. This is just about the only Taco Bell in the area though, so it has been insanely busy since they reopened it. The past two times I’ve gone, I’ve probably spent an easy twenty minutes in the drive through. Ordinarily this would annoy me, but given the fact that they just reopened and that EVERYONE is flocking to it, they’re actually not doing a bad job. Even though the wait is long, the customer service is outstanding and quick. The people taking the orders are efficient, and the people in the window are always very friendly.
Biggest complaint about this place is the bizarre parking lot, which was not changed at all in the remodel. It’s very tight. It’s kind of scary even getting around the bend in the drive thru. If you’re parked in the lot, it’s hard to see, right, and you’re likely to have a car fly around the corner so quickly that you don’t see it until it’s almost too late. Plus with the way that the drive thru has been so slammed, good luck getting out. If it’s a busy time, you’re trapped. There is literally nowhere for your car to go. You’re trapped until the drive thru dies down. If it ever does. I’d like to check out the new interior, but it’s not worth potentially getting stuck in the lot.
I’ve got a particular soft spot for Taco Bell because there was one across the street from where I worked in California. Something about a Baja blast and a five layer burrito tastes like the west coast and the eternal California sunshine to me, despite how low quality the food is.

Let’s be real. .. The food at Taco Bell is not real food. But sometimes you eat here because it’s cheap or you are feeling the need for some comfort food. They just remodeled this location so it is cleaner, brighter, and modern. It makes it a little easier to eat here knowing it’s fresh and clean. My husband loves the food here. I eat here with him to deposit in his love bucket. ‘Nuff said.

Had dinner from here the other night and I have to say I’m a little nostalgic toward this place. We’ll not this one specifically but Taco Bell in general. Taco Bell was my first job while I was still in high school. So you see I have a bit of a soft spot for this chain. Anyways I had one of there asked things and it was pretty good. Wish there was a bit more meat but that can always be added for an additional cost. Bryan had these nachos that had shredded chicken on them and they were a lot better then I thought they would be. So much so that I plan In getting them next time we get Taco Bell. It’s not the best Mexican food out there but at least I know what to expect when I go here. Also I have to admit I’ve dropped an empanada or into the cinnamon auger for the Cina sticks and man it makes it so good. Also Cina sticks are just fried twisty past. Who would have thought.

The cashier was friendly, the service was fast, and the lobby was very tidy. \o/

This place sucks. I do not know why but apparently they do not know what chicken is. Every time, same thing, the past 5 years… I order the same thing — grilled stuffed burrito and ask for chicken. Sure enough, it always comes with «beef» inside, and we all they aren’t exactly serving grade A. To top it off, some guy is standing on the counter as I wait for my order, as though that was the best time or means to do so? He did however check on the quality of my meal, to which I nodded in approval. I will not be back.

While this location sucks at planning (they ran out of syrup for the pop machine), the food on hand was decent and filling. Not 5 star, but good value for the money.
