About Taco Bell
Taco Bell is a haven for Mexican delicacies such as tacos, quesadillas, burritos, nachos, and other specialty items. Owned by Yum! Brands, Inc. Taco Bell is one of the fastest growing American chains of fast food restaurants. The restaurant operates from 7,072 different locations which are mostly run by independent franchisees and licensees.
The background story of Taco Bell is interesting and inspiring for budding entrepreneurs. The fast-food brand is the brainchild of Glen Bell, who started his first food venture as a hot dog seller in San Bernardino, California. The year was 1948. After witnessing long queues outside a Mexican restaurant called Mitla Café across the street, Bell saw the opportunity and demand for hard-shelled Tacos. He reverse-engineered the recipe and later started selling Tacos and called the venture Taco-Tia.
Later, the name changed from Taco-Tia to El Taco. Eventually, Glen Bell sold the company to his partner and opened the first Taco Bell in Downey in 1962. By 1964, the restaurant also got its first franchise in Torrance. The 100th Taco Bell restaurant was opened by 1965. PepsiCo acquired Taco Bell from Glen Bell in 1978 and the restaurant brand is currently a subsidiary of Yum! Brands which looks after the restaurant business of PepsiCo.

Mexican Cuisine
If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.

Good food, filling and decent prices for large platters. Their breakfast burritos are pretty amazing, I can only eat half of one before I get full from it.
(3)Kevin K.
The thing that stands out every time I have eaten here is borderline rude service. I guess I have a reasonable expectation for friendly and helpful service but that's not what I get here. The food on the other hand is pretty decent and is pretty consistent with the other drive-through Mexican fast food places in Colorado Springs.
(3)Bradley S.
This is the worst place ever, they messed up our order for one thing so we call them back and ask them to fix our food and they agreed. We go back and they say "no, you didn't call," we decided well maybe we called the wrong one so we go to the taco star a little further down the road( clearly not the one we just went to). I pull up and they say "were sorry we haven't had any calls tonight." So at this point both my girlfriend and i are frustrated and try to call them back, no answer call again they answer and say " hello Dominos Pizza" then hung up. I will never eat at this establishment EVER AGAIN.
(1)Josh D.
Good Mexican fast food. The tacos are good with house fried shells but a little on the greasy side. The rolled tacos are killer, and their breakfast burritos are good too. I also like the carne asada burritos although it can be a little fatty at times. I also recommend the tortas.
(4)Carole D.
I am sold on their Colorado burritos! They are large and filling. It has spiced meat, potatoes, peppers and onions to name a few of the ingredients. One burrito is good for two meals. I especially like the green sauce, but they also have red. YUMMY!
(5)Jo L.
Taco Star is definitely not the best Mexican fast food I've ever eaten but it ain't the worst either. Right on par with Taco Bell, but more pricey. $2.50 for a taco stuffed with shredded lettuce, a smattering of cheese and just a bit more meat. The service isn't terrible but there isn't much in the way of communication or "thank you's" or "have a nice day's".
(2)Joshua G.
Best Mexican Fast Food Restaurant! Service excelent, fast, clean, great food quality, I don't why people think Mexican food is Taco Bell like the guy who give the review before me. Taco Bell is American Food based on Mexican ingredients.. I had the Nachos Supremes, Over the Top! 5-stars! I totally recommend it. Joshua
(5)Katie H.
Delicious food, this place is always busy. When I don't see a car in the drive thru I am surprised. Service is quick but not overly friendly.
(5)E G.
My husband and I were curious to see who has the better carne asada fries... Taco Star is barely on the list. The fries themselves are delicious... crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and have a good flavor. Everything else was underwhelming though. The meat was super salty, the guacamole was extremely smooth and runny, like it had been in a tube. There was also sour cream. No pico de gallo on the fries like other places. Pico de gallo would have been nice because it might have helped cut the saltiness of the fries and the meat. The salsas they gave us were thin and very mild with an OK flavor. Taco Star would probably make a great 2AM meal if you're drunk, but if you're actually looking for good carne asada fries, there are better places. On the bright side, the fresh tortillas were good. Service was quick.
(2)Brad G.
Great food but barely possible service. Rude girl at the window. The guys are a little better, but sometimes don't understand requests very well. Overall pod cheap Mexican food, just need to fix the service issues.
(3)Mike H.
Food's good but the chick at the window was rude and unfriendly and probably still wants $15/hour
(3)Debbie B.
My husband recommended this place to me. He said the breakfast burritos and rolled tacos are good. So I got the rolled tacos with cheese and guacamole and a carne asada taco. We are from CA and love Mexican food and have been on the hunt for it since we moved here over a year ago. My items were good and I tasted my husband's breakfast burrito and chips and they were good. So far, it's the best taco shack I've found in the Springs so for that reason they get five stars.
(5)Marissa M.
Look, it's mexican food. I'm not sure what else to tell you. Don't expect smiling faces or even to be greeted as a person, but do expect hot, good food (definitely a level up from taco bell, despite previous reviews) that is available 24/7 (the biggest reason why I visit). I used to tip but as a rule I don't anymore (see previous: borderline rude service). Make sure to double-check that they have your order right before you get to the window. Edit: Even with my double-checking I've had several encounters with 'what is this???' - I've become resigned to eating whatever they want to give me.
