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.

I got helped really quickly which is always a plus but what really blew me away was the state of their bathroom. I actually ate at the burger king across the street but the toilet seat in the men's room was covered in shit, so I came here. Not only was their toilet seat not covered in shit, the bathroom was actually very clean. I'm really impressed.
(5)Mackenzie C.
This Taco Bell has to be the worst one I've eaten at because they've screwed up both orders we've gotten within 3 days. I asked for a vegetarian salad and they put chicken in it. And my sister ordered a chicken burrito that had beef in it.
(1)Tom T.
Up all night binge drinking? Taco Bell Kids don't eat meat loaf? Taco Bell Late night sex for hours(or minutes)? Taco Bell These are but a few excuses to punish your body with tacos and burritos containing "meat paste". The price is right, but I wouldn't eat here on a regular basis. Only as needed. Taco Bell is every ones guilty pleasure.
(2)Mark B.
Very modern and cozy location. Background classical music is an interesting choice, considering it's a Taco Bell. I suppose it keeps rowdy kids from hanging out too long, or something.
(4)Brandon W.
I eat burritos from this restaurant. I've never been inside although it looks nice from the outside. The drive thru menu is backlit. The bean burrito came wrapped in crinkly paper. The tortillas are tough. They sell Pepsi products here.
(3)Hayden W.
I made my order at the drive-thru, no problem. I pay for my food and am then notified they are out of things for half my order. I asked for a refund for the items not available and they kept pushing me to order something else. I ask for the manager and get my refund with some hesitation. Being that I do not eat in the car, I get home (10min drive) and my XXL grilled stuffed buritto is cold and is about as stuffed as a quesodilla. There was barely ANYTHING stuffed inside the tortilla. It's 2:00 in the morning, I just got off work after a grueling, stressful day and I do not want to go back and have them remake my order. I do not recommend this Taco Bell unless you enjoy poor service and dismal quality food.
(1)Sara M.
How are you gonna rate taco bell poorly? It's fast good, not a five star joint! Anyway, I love tbell.
(5)Ric L.
I would like to tell you that I enjoyed my Chicken Soft Taco, but I can't, because it was a Beef Burrito. But we had ordered 4 Chicken Soft Tacos between the two of us, so a trade was inevitable. Unfortunately, the remaining three were a Chicken Burritos and two Chalupas... Whatever the hell those are. The real excitement came when I discovered that it was the NINTH time in a row that I had paid for guacamole, without actually getting any guacamole. I don't think they even have guacamole. I think it's a bait and switch item on the menu. You order guacamole, but they substitute it with a cup of white lead based paint that they like to call "sour cream," or maybe an extra one ply napkin. I'm giving two stars because we went back and they clearly felt bad, and replaced our items and threw in a free bag of styrofoam rolled in cinnamon and sugar for us to snack on after our binge and purge. Oh, I finally got my guacamole.
(2)Thee I.
Let's get down to it. Taco Bell, oh how I love you. You make me feel so good inside. With your spicy beany goodness, that I love so much. I love you soft and I love you hard. I love you full of cheese cuz I like cheese. The FIYAH SAUCE is so good. I like to put it in the tacos so that they taste so yummy. And I love how when I talk about it makes me feel so good. I should go get some but I won't. I'll TOOT and my girlfriend will kick me out of the house. Yes, the house. I'll go to the couch, but she'll start screaming she can smell it under the door. I tell her to roll up some towels, homeland security style to keep it out but she don't care.
(5)Jando S.
Here's the thing about Taco Bell and with most fast food chains, most folks should know what to expect. Feening for a quick meal fix? Taco Bell works. Drunk out of your mind and looking for ways to curb your intoxication by eating a Mexican pizza? Done. Fantasies of obesity and diabetes for one night? Taco Bell is the place to be. In my case, it's whenever nearby Muchas Gracias ( yelp.com/biz/muchas-grac… ) decides to suddenly close early, this is the next best thing. Since I moved to NYC years ago, these sorts of Taco Bells are a bit of a rarity. it's bad that when even fast food is made poorly in one of the greatest cities of the world. It's even worse when a mediocre version of the "norm" is considered solid by abnormally fast food deprived palates. This Taco Bell location is no exception and while it's far from the perfect tacos that weird critical folks will judge quickly, it's just fast food. If you keep that in mind, this place is as predictable as they come for the crappy food fix that everyone craves once in awhile. Cheesy beefy burrito for a dollar? Check. Double stuffed tacos? Gross. Mexican pizza? Done and done.
(2)Don D.
It was late and I had a few in me. TB seemed like a good idea at the time. Of course, it was absolutely disgusting. I would rather starve to death than eat here again.
(1)Brooks S.
Standard after the bar grinds. Nothing special about this location, but nothing bad either, except that they run out of stuff a lot.
(3)Skeletor S.
(Obvious Note(TM): I am reviewing THIS location, not the food of Taco Bell or the chain itself. ) The secret is out. Don't tell anybody, but this Taco Bell is... kind of incredible! They play classical music. The staff is friendly. Every time I've been in here, it's as spotless as a Taco Bell can get. Incredible people, special requests were politely accepted (I like my bean burrito a certain way, see?) and as pleasant as a Taco Bell is ever going to get. So, if you find yourself in a position where this is what you're after, THIS Taco Bell is the place to go.
(4)N. M.
Let me preface this by saying that I have a deep love of Taco Bell. That said, this is the worst Taco Bell I've ever, ever, ever been to. They mess up the food every single time and the wait for counter service has been upwards of a half an hour... for FAST FOOD. And if you sit too close to the bathroom it really smells. The people who work there seem very nice but it's just not worth it. Make the trip to the Taco Bell by the Fred Meyer on 82nd and Johnson Creek and even if you have to dive three times as far for it, you'll probably get your food faster and better.
(1)Leslie C.
Ya, this place isnt very good. Taco bell is..... well, "taco bell"... Enough said. I've been here twice to grab food for my child and they have really got to get there heads on straight. The first time we came here, we were shorted a whole order (mine, luckily) - by the time we found out, we were already home and didnt want to turn around and go back. It was upsetting to say the least. They are stingy with the sauce (usually give you 3-4 sauces for 2-3 people....???? really......). They do however seem to get the orders taken in a quick manner and out the window fairly quickly, but it seems that they take quite a bit of time when there's more than a bag coming out the window. all in all, still not happy about our missed order "that one time" and will not be returning.
(2)Frank T.
You know, i stopped eating fast food a few years ago, but when my TB cravings overtook me I was politely greeted by a SUPER FRIENDLY voice from the drive through window. I don't know when they became so friendly at TB, but i love it! Seldom do i eat here, but i have and it is always clean. It's cheap, it's easy, you know what you are gonna get. I used to be a Grilled Stuffed Beef Burrito kinda guy; now i'm a Cheesy Beefy burrito guy (it is only a buck!!)
(4)Misty R.
WORST. TACO. BELL. EVER. If I could give this particular Taco Bell location ZERO stars, I would. We've been here maybe ten times, and every single time it ends up making us say, "NEVER going back there again!" Yet we did, over and over. Hoping that things would change, but no more, I say! The service is slow and rude. DO NOT try to go INSIDE to order. Take the drive thru or sit in the lobby until you grow old and grey, die of starvation, or just give up and leave whichever comes first. Seriously though, they will take your order, and then they will forget about you in the lobby forever. Taking the drive thru is a little bit better. There are always tons of people in line, but at least this route will get you some food. The problem is that it probably won't be the food that you ordered. It's best to check your bag before you drive away from the window, because if you don't you are faced with a dilemma: Enter the lobby of eternal waiting, or get back in the drive thru line from hell. Dun dun duuuuun! Well, good luck to you, if you decide to face this horrible place, but I'd rather drive to a different Taco Bell to get my crappy "mexican" food fix.
(1)Libby L.
Let's talk about Taco Bell. It used to be reserved only for road trips and late night meals, but recently I have developed a love for Taco Bell anytime, anywhere. The cheesy, meaty goodness of the crunch wrap supreme however uncrunchy it proves to be brightens my day in any situation. Let's move on to the Dorito taco. Why has no one thought of this sooner? Ridiculously good. The chicken quesadilla also never ceases to amaze me with it's cheesy perfection and zesty baja sauce, clearly straight from the gods. My final note is the props I give to TB for continuing to entice my soda pallet with handcrafted flavors like blue and red mixed with mountain dew. Keep it up TB, if only you were locally owned you would have had that fifth star.
(4)Scott L.
I can't say I've ever been to a worse Taco Bell in my life. Scratch that, I can't say I've ever gone to a worse Fast Food Restaurant in my life. Taking in the quality of the place, you don't expect much. That was until the day they RAN OUT OF GROUND BEEF. Can you name anything on the typical order from this place that doesn't include ground beef? Another time I had walked into the store, stood at the counter for two minutes, then they told me they were closed and I would need to do drive through, apparently they forgot to lock the store up in time. The question was, why couldn't they just honor my order there instead of making me go back in my car and wait in the drive thru line? I've never seen slower service. Fast (keyword Fast) food people, I could always cross the street to Taco Time and maybe I would but Taco Bell keeps the market on unusually late hours for this kind of greasebucket feeding frenzy. It'll kill me to say that I may once again come back here out of sheer desperation for that late night chalupa but I will not enjoy it.
(1)Amado L.
What?! Five stars for a Taco Bell?! That's right, yo! Represent! I've been going to this Taco Bell off-and-on for the last 15+ years, and it's always for my fourth meal. And, you know what? They deliver each and every time. There's just something about how that greasy, mystery meat they call "beef" goes down my gullet just when I need it most. You know what I'm talking about...that point in the evening when you've consumed so much alcohol that you need something equally bad to counteract the effects. Works. Every. Time. And the other cool thing is that, regardless or how much under the influence I am, I always have enough of my wits with me to order the same thing without fail-- the #6 combo with baja 'beef" and Sierra Mist. BTW, this combo comes with two chalupas and a taco. What's with that taco anyway? It replaced the "Mexi-Fries" from long ago. And, although those "Mexi-Fries" were nothing more than tater tots, it still made more sense as a side than a taco. I mean, do you order a hamburger with a side of taco? I think not. But, I digress. Bottom line is that it doesn't matter how many cars are ahead of me at the drive through, when I have to get my Taco Bell on, I gotta get my Taco Bell on. And this Taco Bell on 49th and Powell has always allowed me to get my Taco Bell on with style. Hmm, did I just confess to drinking and driving? Probably not such a hot idea...

So lunch was aight. It was cheap & quick & satisfying enough in the taste department, but what really sets this TB apart is the amazing conversations I was privy today on my lunch. The first was a conversation about love & teh ladies between two middle aged D&D wizards. Favorite quote: 'Its not about how she looks- its about how she looks AT you'...effin hilarious. The second transpired between a random customer & the counter girl. RC: oh, hey cool, you guys don't have to do that up-sell thing anymore huh? CG: huh? I'm not sure what you mean. RC: you know, it used to be that the minute I walked in the door you would've asked if I was interested in shoving a Crunch Wrap Supreme up my butt & I would've said that I hadn't planned on it, but since you asked, sure what the hell. CG: (through stifled giggles) nope, I'm not really interested in up-selling or shoving food in you, I've only worked here for 5 weeks, but I do think that the new Big Taste Taco is pretty awesome. RC: I'll take 3 thanks:) Totally made my day.
(4)Kenny H.
The old lady that works with the young chick after hours *nearly half the time I go here at 2am* totally screws up my order! I ordered 2 bean and cheese burritos Fresca style and they made me one with beef and the other with the tomatoes..but it still had the cheese!! ?? Another time they gave me a burrito Supreme instead, and the other was made properly. WTF? Back through the drive through drunk and hungry with the DD driver to get it fixed is to be expected on Powell. I know to always do the "opening of the tortillas" before taking off to the casa.
(2)David M.
God I love trashy burritos. And tacos. I recently went to TB for the first time since I was in high school. See I don't really stray from the usual TB menu; I order the same items that I ordered when I was 8 years old. However they have apparently upgraded the menu dramatically - bacon club chalupas, encharitos, etc, I was astonished. I ordered it all. With extra fire sauce. On my way out a large herd of humans traipsed in, one that fiercely resembled the abominable Beth Ditto (lead singer of The Gossip, and Portland resident) - so I did what anyone who values their life would do - I instinctively shit my pants in an effort to throw her off my scent. SHE LOOKED HUNGRY! AND ANGRY! :( Anyway 2 hours later I remembered why I stopped going to TB. I'll spare you the details.
