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.

Delicious! I got the Chipotle barbecue burrito with chicken and my husband got the same thing with steak, very tasty!
(5)Edwin N.
Sure it's in a better part of town. It appears cleaner, and the hours are convenient, but aside from that? Bland meats that are only helped by over spiced extras. At $7 a piece? You can get three superior tacos for $6 at the Mexico Lindo Taco Truck on Allison Hill near 15th and Market. I was not impressed enough even with a wider selection it just isn't worth the cost verses the inferior product.
(1)Eric W.
Good Tacos - fresh vegetables - good selection on drinks. Solid 4 star experience. Watch out for the $3 an hour parking - not this places fault - the garage has cheaper parking - not much cheaper :( Stop Reading - review is over - This experience is one I will not soon forget. In order for this review to live and fulfill its destiny as a review, there must be more to it - if not it will only live as a tip. Yelp, sometimes I don't want to bore readers with trite, useless thoughts. Some reviews are too long in my opinion.
(4)Emily K.
The recently revamped menu added a selection of delicious seafood options. I highly recommend the shrimp tacos, they are flat out amazing! They also added a stylish new dining room, so there is room to just sit and relax while you eat.
(5)Betsy H.
Totally bummed! We love el sol so thought this would be amazing. Guacamole was great. Tacos were way too spicy (chicken and pork). We stopped for dinner and no one else was there, yet the counter service was not exactly welcoming! I have two young kids who love Mexican. Unfortunately, they only could handle the guac.
(2)Katherine M.
To the owners, thank you! This is deliciousness - hands down the best taco place in this area, easily. I've been here three times now, and I'm probably going to keep coming back for the guacamole alone. It's just SO damn good. Better than what we make at home, which I never, ever say. The tacos are full of fresh, yummy ingredients. I've tried the carne asada and the carnitas taco and each were amazing in their own way. The meat is really amazing, especially for a little taco shop, it's cooked and seasoned to perfection. Their salsas are really good too - my favorite is the salsa verde and I tend to get it with whatever taco I get! It's good for pick up, but not eat in because it's so tiny. There is only a counter to eat at. I suggest taking it outside and eating at the capitol or taking it back home or back to work or where ever.
(5)Sarah G.
Delicious. super friendly and helpful staff. Just the right amount of cilantro. Awesome salsa.
(5)Sara N.
I felt inclined to provide a review after a first (and last) visit to "Taco Solo". We ordered the adobo chicken tacos and they were dry and unflavorful. I also don't believe the staff behind the counter has ever heard of the expression, "service with a smile". And to add insult to injury, they questioned my friend whether or not she had paid for her soda as we left the place--she had paid for her bottle of soda no more than 2 minutes previous. Go across the river for real tacos and better hospitality.
(1)Molly B.
Really great addition to Harrisburg! Even though the line was out the door, I was in and out in under 10 minutes. 3 tacos are $7.99 and you can add sides, like guacamole for around $1.50. I got the Al Pastor (signature) tacos and they were amazing! Everything was well cooked and seasoned and seemed really fresh. The guacamole was really great and they give you a lot. I also loved that the salsa was on the side to prevent soggy tacos. Definitely not a place to eat-in. There are some seats, but its more of a take-out place.
(5)Caitlin C.
Not sure why I've been to this place twice, because I only needed to go here once to solidify my feelings. The second visit just reinforced the same thoughts. The atmosphere is horrific. The fans are blasted so high that it's freezing cold inside. The only stools are facing a wall, so while there are seats, sitting inside is a completely awkward experience. The food is acceptable at best. It is not delicious by any means. It relies on spice over flavor, which to me, feels cheap. I should also mention that I felt sick after the first time that I went here, but I was always unsure if the food was the cause. After my second visit, I think it was the food...
(1)Kevin L.
Authentic and delicious. El Sol carries on their strong tradition of great food and now quick takeout. Shawn does a great job making sure customers are happy. Well done.
(5)Lou L.
Tacos were fresh and delicious. Generous portions of filling and salsa. Kind of annoying to have to pay extra for sour cream or cheese, as that seems like a standard for tacos.
(4)S D.
I like, pretty yummy. Fast and easy. In and out deal. :)
(3)Annaliese B.
Filling, flavorful and fresh! This location just opened and they are great. Service was quick and freindly, they prepare your tacos or bowls right in front of you. Small simple menu but easy to custom order to taste, good variety, has vegetarian options. Meat and veggies were seasoned well, hearty but not greasy or overcooked. Tacos are stuffed so they arevworth the price, just be prepared to get your fingers a little messy... wish I'd gotten a fork! True to 'street taco' style seating inside is minimal, but there are a few seats and counter. I'll be back with friends :)
(4)Becky M.
Small spot, good for take-out. Only a wall bar with stools to sit at otherwise. The are advertising that they are now delivering to downtown workers at lunch too. The man behind the counter was friendly and helpful. My food was ready in 5 minutes or less. Decent portion sizes. Not as fresh and flavorful as El Sol, but not bad for take out. I ordered a fajita salad with grilled chicken added. The chicken could have been hotter, but overall, it was very good. I also got a soft-shell taco for the next day, which held up very well until then. If I would have wanted to eat it right away, it probably would have needed warmed up some as when I checked it, it was a little cool. Definitely not too spicy as I saw in another post. Everything was well-packaged. The bathroom was also very clean and smelled clean and fresh.
(4)A K.
Living on the edge of the Mexican neighborhood in NYC (Sunset Park, Brooklyn) and having about 70% of my calories come from tacos (~4 nights a week) I know my tacos. Starting with the strong points - the salsa. If you like spice you'll get it. Same salsa as Papa restaurant El Sol. No Tabasco or other cop outs here which one might fear passing it on the street. The sour cream used to douse the spice is also well done and came at no additional charge. Service is friendly and fast. Perhaps too fast, and this is the most concerning issue. The meat, the core, although well seasoned is a bit too dry. On the first bite it is obvious that the meat was already cooked and reheated/regrilled. This saves an enormous amount of time but also dries out the taco. The exception is the chorizo which contains enough oil that this would've been almost impossible. I understand this to be a special and not a permanent option, which should be an adjustment ASAP. Generally, a dried out taco could be somewhat revived with a dose of lime juice but this approach is not recognized as it is at many taco joints that make very lime-y tacos . Overall, the price is right and the tacos are slightly above decent. The meats are marinated well, but they taste reheated and not at all freshly grilled from raw to order. I could be wrong but the point is they are dry. As far as balance the tacos contain way way too much meat but in 'merica this is overlooked. This place is good, but with fresher meats cooked straight from marinade to table it could've been great. I'll be back, partly because it satisfies my fix, and partly because the authentic Mexican taco spots in Harrisburg are ~20min drive away. If you have time, a car, and a sense of adventure combined with a love of tacos check those out. That aside, this spot is convenient and will most certainty hit the spot if you're craving a fix.
