Taco Bell

I have been to so many Taco Bells and none of them are even close to this one in terms of consistent quality of food, service, and cleanliness. This place should be the poster child of Taco Bell. Seriously, bravo 2575 North Clybourn Taco Bell.

Have yet to have a problem with this location. Fast, well put together food, and from what I can tell, well managed. A go to staple for some late night munchies.

How can a Taco Bell actually have this many stars? I’ve pondered that, especially since I now live across the street. I can’t believe I’m giving Toxic H*ll four stars. My take — the people make an effort to appear they are enjoying work. I order no lettuce on my tacos and they provide my tacos with no lettuce (not even random pieces like most Bell’s would). I can’t ask for more out of this joint. Or maybe I’m just jumping on the highest rated Taco Bell in the country band wagon.

Maggots, bugs and maggots — oh my.
I don’t typically eat Taco Bell, but my husband swears by it. After convincing, I thought I’d try again. I ordered a soft taco (meat, cheese, lettuce, tomato), I took a bite and a maggot fell out onto my hand. I couldn’t believe it, so I put the maggot on a piece of paper-​towel thinking it was probably something else.
It started moving.
I will NEVER eat Taco Bell at this location or any other. The only thing the manager said when I called them to ask them to check everything so no one else would have to endure this is, I’m sorry, we’ll refund your money. I know there is a lot of liability when you have bugs crawling around in your food but she could have said something more.
Sorry, but this is just plain gross. I’ll be reporting this to the Department of Health.
Please beware when you eat here, you really don’t know what’s in their food.

Such a great selection, and what prices! I recommend this taco bell to my parents whenever they come to town!

I have to say, I thought it was hilarious that this place had such a high rating from hundreds of reviews and figured it was just an online joke. But after visiting, it absolutely deserves 5-​stars.
This is what every Taco Bell and every fast food restaurant in America should be. The place is spotless, the employees are friendly, and the food is carefully assembled and packed and actually looks like the food in advertisements and commercials.
Is it great authentic Mexican food? No, not even close. But if you enjoy the taste of Taco Bell, this is the place to go. It’s the best Taco Bell experience you will ever have.

Just super friendly and efficient. Get your quesoritatacochaluparitinas or whatever here.

Daisy is the worst cashier. She doesn’t make you feel welcome and is not pleasant. She should be fired.

What a time to be alive. This Taco Bell deserves the high rating because it is hands down the best one in the state. Great customer service and well prepared food bring this location to the top of the list. It is also clean and in a great location.

I’ll start by saying that I’m from Indiana, which means I’ve had some authentic Mexican food in my day. It’s pretty common knowledge that Chicago is not known for having fine eating establishments. However, every so often you find a gem such as this; a diamond in the rough. This Taco Bell has to be one of the most consistent in quality, service, and accommodation.
Being a family run business, the passion behind the food is outstanding. It is so fresh that I’ve seen these culinary jacks of all trades not only milk the cows to create such a fine queso, but then slaughter them for fresh seasoned beef; talk about the real Mexico experience right in the heart of Chicago. Locally grown vegetables contribute to the fresh (or «fresca» in Spanish) and healthy euphoria of Mexican goodness. The fusion of flavors make you feel as if you are riding a donkey down the sunny beaches of Cancun; margarita in one hand, burrito in the other; as if you had just downed 20 Coronas at the all-​inclusive bar. I have had just about everything on the menu and they’re worthy of being served in 5-​star restaurants. The flour tortillas used in most items are like a soft floury pillow, but consumable (think Snuggles the bear. PSA: please don’t attempt to eat bears). Don’t get me started on the outdoor seating. Can you say beach cabana? It’s like you are actually on vacation! I can go on and on about Taco Bell, but even my clients agree. Whenever I am in a bind and need a spot for a nice business dinner, this is my go-​to. They don’t take reservations, even though they could clearly be as exclusive as the Dorsia. Free refills on fine beverages and unlimited variations of sauces? What doesn’t Taco Bell have?
5 Stars!

This is the most unprofessional restaurant I’ve ever been too! I drove across the city to stop here because they have parking unlike most restaurants in Chicago. I pull up to the drive thru and ask for a nacho bell granda and I didn’t even finish my order and the lady says they are all out of them. I say What? She starts laughing. The manager comes on the speaker and says the other lady was joking! What the heck is wrong with these people! With this economy and everyone barely scrapping by and these turds are screwing around with customers! These are the same people who can’t figure out why people will not pay them 15 dollars an hour! I will never eat in a Taco Bell restaurant ever again. Now that I think of it, this company has a whole bunch of other restaurants they own! Time to find the others and not spend the little bit of money I have there ether!

I enjoy coming to this establishment. I’ll admit I’m here a couple of times a month. Service is normally fast and very friendly. I’ve never had an issue with food quality.
This evening my experience was nothing short of memorable all thanks to a shrimpy looking sea witch with a pastel blue bob dressed head to toe in black. Yikes! This girl was throwing the biggest hissy fit in a public place I’ve ever seen! She immediately began dropping F-​bombs all over the place. She was threatening to get people fired and stomping around, All over a damn Mexican pizza! Hey girl, crawl back into your cavern and come out when you learn how to interact appropriately in society.
Kudos to the T-​bell employees who handled the situation quite well. I feel for ya! Ugh some people.

I have been referring to this Taco Bell as the Cadillac of Taco Bells for years. I don’t eat at any other TB other than this one. Because it is not the same thing at all.
Also, they are ESP-​capable. One time I really wanted 2 bean burritos. But in order to make my meal relatively healthy, I ordered just 1. As I was driving away, I was mad at myself for ordering just one. Imagine my surprise when I got home and found 2 bean burritos in there !!!
Mind-​reading — now that is taking customer service to another level.
This review got featured on Ellen Degeneres show– sweet!
…few years later… sadly this taco bell fell in line with the rest of taco bells. Service is mediocre at best. Slow as hell at times. Bean burrito has no fucking beans in it. It looks like someone took a tortilla, walked next to a table of beans, and then rolled it up and gave it to. It kind of smelled like beans. But I could not find any in there. If I wanted a tortilla with hot sauce, I would have ordered a fucking tortilla with hot sauce. Are beans that expensive these days?
Good bye forever TB. Our 10 year friendship has run its course.

I want to give this place a 5 star, but its a taco bell… HOWEVER, it is the best taco bell I’ve ever been to. I was extremely skeptical when my friends were talking about a 4.5 /​5 star taco bell in the wicker park /​Chicago area. IT was a late Friday night (I was not drunk) and we went here. We ordered bacon chalupas nachos etc.
If you have ever seen those taco bell commercials with awesome looking tacos nachos and chalupas etc, this is the taco bell that makes it like that.
All the ingredients were fresh, and there was a perfect balance of sauce beans etc on the nachos and the bacon chalupas. Every single nacho had some type of sauce /​bean stuff on it; I posted a couple pictures to show the ingredients in the chalupa.
Unfortunately, its still a taco bell so ALAS, 4 stars. However if you want to try taco bell at its finest… come here baby.

Favorite Taco Bell! We came here super late and the the lady at the Drive Thru was so chill and cool! We told her we need hot sauce and we Indians love spicy food and she gave us a bag full!!! No Taco Bell on planet earth has ever been that generous to me!
Thank you drive thru lady, and thank you to the manager and owner for not being cheap and hiring fun people! I give you guys an A+

Where the magic happens. I found this Taco Bell back in 2010 when I made a wrong turn coming home from work and had to do a loop-​de-​loop in its parking lot. As I did the loopa-​loopa in my car, my roommate called me and asked if I could pick him up some Taco Bell. He was high at the time, so I pretty much blew his mind when I told him I was already in the drive-​thru line because of the loopapalooza. Food here is ¹⁰⁄₁₀. Works (aka magicians) that serve your food here are ¹⁰⁄₁₀. Parking lot is ¹⁰⁄₁₀. Chicago the city is ¹⁰⁄₁₀.

Best employees ever. Super friendly. Has gotten horribly dirty over last few months though. Check out the pics.

Staff is very friendly and helpful in determining new items to try! Weekly visits to the Clybourn location!
Thanks Taco Bell!

Open way late.
Staff is ALWAYS entertaining and friendly.
Good location and well kept. In other words I’m not afraid to get fast food here when I am low on cash and need to feed the beast.

Ok so if you are looking for authentic Mexican food, this is your spot. You can roll in this place with about 20 quarters and walk out feeding yourself and the the bbw you’re on a date with. I murdered a couple firey doritos locos tacos supremes and they were on a different level than anything else i’ve ever tried (make sure you soak them in fire sauce… yum.) Also any time I’ve went through there drive through they have been nice as shit. I mean come on, you feed me taco’s and burrito’s for pennies and still give me some baller ass customer service. Taco Bell on Clybourne, I salute you.
P.S — Give one of those Firey Cheesy Gordita Crunch’s a whirl, you’ll thank me later.
