    Well for someone who hasn't eaten here in many years, I was actually a bit more cautious eating here again after my bad experience at the location in Willow Street that took nearly 30 minutes to get my food. But honestly, I think I came at the right time. Why? Between 2 and 5PM, they have a Happier Hour special in which you can get a Medium Soda or a Loaded Griller for $1. So with the nachos I got with my Spicy Chicken Griller, it only cost me $3.17, so very cheap late lunch. Its been such a long time since I've eaten here as I never liked stuff with peppers, lettuce or onions on them (I will eat Onion Rings, but everything else can go) so I don't get too much in terms of stuff here. The inside has drastically changed since I've been in this one last. And it only took like 3 minutes to get my food, even though I can still taste the spicy chicken in my mouth (bit too spicy maybe?) But if you need a cheap lunch, come here and get a stuffed griller for a buck. Can't beat that. I don't do drive thru, ain't got time for that! I just ate it there!

    Hit this 'Bell again twice last week, and starting to think they don't care anymore. We had tickets to a concert on Thursday and stopped in with some friends to eat quick. My vegetarian friend ordered 2 bean and rice burritos -- instead he got rice and ground beef! What? How do you screw THAT up? Then again the other day because we didn't feel like cooking, and it's only a couple of miles from our house. Ugh -- we should have cooked. I did the drive through to bring the food home, and when I got back realized they had shorted our order by 2 items and made 2 other items wrong. Seriously, no wonder their menu is more expensive than other locations -- they keep having to give away double the food because they get it wrong the first time! At least they did this, so I won't give them one star. And clearly I'm too much of a taco fiend to boycott them. But I'll be paying closer attention in the future!

    This location has a drive through which is always very crowded. My experiences there have been fair.. The service is usually slower since the drive through is slammed 24/7, but the food is OK. I wouldn't pick this location if you have a short lunch break.

    This is taco bell, do you expect great things? Overall, it has been remodeled, the new paint probably hides all of the existing stains, but appears pretty clean.

    Question what it is that you are ordering. Many unidentifiable meat products and many questionable fillers in your taco or burrito. Has a long way to go to be recognized as a fair or adequate restaurant. Think hard before you throw away your money.

    I love Taco Bell. It's just one of those guilty pleasures. Sometimes you just get in the mood for a taco supreme or a mexican pizza, and that Taco Bell flavor is just what el doctor ordered. But this review is not a rating of how much I enjoy Taco Bell's food. This review is dedicated to their drive thru window exclusively. If you're in a hurry to get a taco at this location, do not use the drive thru. Let's start with the ordering menu that speaks at you. This is your first step in an agonizing experience. When you are asked if you want to be helped, be prepared to hear what sounds like a house party going on in the background. And of course, the place is run by 16 year-olds, so they're most likely doing all sorts of slap-happy things in there. If you are lucky, they will get your order correct the first time they repeat it back to you. If you're lucky. Then begins the wait. I don't know if they're throwing banana cream pies at each other in there and whipping each other with mops or having soda fountain water balloon fights or what, but there must be a carnival of zany distractions in that fun house, because it sure doesn't seem like they're putting tacos together. If they were, you'd probably have your food within 2-3 minutes. It usually takes closer to 10-15 minutes to get to the window where you finally get your food. Of course, this is the only Taco Bell within a reasonable driving distance to our house, so when we get that craving, we really don't have a choice unless we want to drive 30 minutes outside of town and deal with all sorts of traffic. Of course, whenever we go inside, it's usually pretty fast. So, I don't know if it's just coincidence that we always get the super long wait in the drive thru, and the short wait inside, or what. Perhaps the drive thru orders are put together in a vast underground cavern by malnourished, nearsighted, handicapped unicorns and delivered to the window on the backs of slow-moving, unintelligent gremlins, while 16 year-old gangstas fire off their nines in celebration to some hedonistic taco sauce-drenched ritual. I don't know. Long story short, don't use the drive thru here.

    Oh my god. this is the worst food Ive ever had. You forget just how bad it is until you go around trying food for the yelp of it.. --------- FOOD: I got a bean and cheese burrito and some cheese nachos. Seriously, you can buy stuff out of the grocery store freezer thats better. The cheese in my burrito wasnt even melted! I couldnt even finish my meal, thats how tasteless it is. DECOR: Its a fast food chain. Plastic tables, a soda fountain, a counter to order from.. and the front door is locked. You have to go in thru the side. SERVICE: Good. Actually Ive never gotten my food so fast (and cheap). But that comes with a price. Fast does not equal good, and the faster it comes, the worse it is. The cleanliness was a little on the lax side tho. Dirty tables and floors and such.. ---------- FINAL THOUGHTS: Avoid taco bell. Its just eww. In thinking about it, Mr. Bell (yeah, it was a real person) probably spins in his grave when he hears what Yum brands and Kraft foods have done to his restaurant. What a collaboration those two are! Two companies that have no real food anywhere near them..

    Full of idiots who half the time don't answer the drive thru and half the time can't take credit cards. Drinks watered down when the fountains work at all. Thugs frequent the dining room.

    It's Taco Bell. Sometimes it's good, sometimes it's not. Sometimes, when I have the munchies, it's amazing.

    I don't recommend this place for anybody. After speaking to the district manager more than once, I've found that their orders are still wrong, condiments don't exist in the drive-through, and worst of all it just isn't Mexican. At best this is stoner food late at night, and it leaves you with a long, uncomfortable day ahead if you eat there. If you want Mexican food in Lancaster, try El Pueblito (on Dillerville Rd. near the Waffle House) or Cocina Mexicana on Prince St. (next to the Hager parking lot). Or take a drive down toward Delaware, where the mushroom farms have brought in Mexican labor and the restaurants that go along with it.

    As far as Taco Bell goes it was what I would expect from Taco Bell food BUT I must say on this trip the staff was exceptionally nice and attentive. We were finishing up our repast and someone came by and asked if they could take our tray and cleaned up for us. Nice.

    I am raising them to three stars. The last couple times I have went in there they have had everything that I wanted and got my food quite quickly

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.
