Taco Bell

I ordered quesadilla chicken and cheese but hardy any inside, might as well give me just the tortilla. Wait. I’ll buy that from a store. It’s cheaper.

alright, yeah, I’m writing a review for Taco Bell. Their yummy Cinnabon Delights and interesting ‘freeze’ flavors intrigue me. But this Taco Bell is the absolute worst…
1. Every time I’m visited, it takes over 10 minutes to get my food. in the drive-​thru. kinda defeats the purpose of «fast food».
2. The staff doesn’t pay attention to what you say when you order, so be prepared to repeat yourself 2 or 3 times. Then the order might not even come out right.
3. Staff is rude, unprofessional. A bunch of kids with attitudes. they called my friend «bro» one time because she had to repeat her order for the 3^rd time.
the last time I was here, they asked me to pull to the front of the store and wait. so we waited… and waited… finally I went inside, and as I was approaching, the young man with my order sucked his teeth loudly and went «man what da fuck» or some nonsense.
yo, «bro», it’s Taco Bell. I’m sorry you hate your job, but don’t ruin my deliciously greasy taco experience with your nasty attitudes.

As an avid proponent for Taco Bell I am embarrassed that this store exists. I’m writing this review from the drive through where it consistently takes extremely long. Don’t bother coming here if you have anything else planned for the rest of your night as it will likely be spent waiting in the drive through line.

I just went thru the drive thru and the gentleman that took my order was one above all the rest. Never thought I’d have such a great experience with a drive thru. He was friendly and suggested the Cinnabon dessert which was warm and great. I wish the receipt had a name on it so I could give him a proper shout out. Very impressed with him!!! Thank you! You put a smile on my face!

beef quesarito. it’s goooooooooood. i like to douse each and every bit with their fire sauce.
but my all time favorite is still probably the meximelt.

Worst service ever. The workers have attitudes and gave me the wrong orders and charged me more.

disgusting i found a cockroach in my food and i will be suing!!!

It’s a Taco Bell. On Rainier Ave. Of course there’s weird creepy people here.
Of course there’s the occassional naked man behind the drive through window flashing you. I mean, it happens, it’s T-​Bell, right?
Regardless, I still go here because it’s Taco Bell and what else am I gonna do, go to McDonalds?

Taco bell gives new meaning to my life

Hey, I’m sorry. If your Taco Bell is closed on Friday and it isn’t even midnight you’re getting one star. For all I know this restaurant could be run by a team of the most highly commendable staff in the world and they could produce Taco Bell food that approached perfection. It doesn’t matter. I mean seriously, is there anyone who eats regular daily meals at Taco Bell? That can’t be healthy.

An ok spot to have lunch at during the daytime & during lunch hours (11:00AM-1:00PM). Mainly because the manager whos working during the days is pleasant, & generally makes things speedy.
It’s located in a seedy area however.
The knock on this particular taco bell would be that they kind of prod you into ordering more. Kind of asking like…“and what kind of dessert will we be having with that?” Thats annoying if you ask me. If I wanted one of the desserts they have, I’d include it in my order.

What an awful taco bell this was.
Went yesterday and was greeted by a friendly employee who was more than nice to me.
However, the food sucked. Plain and simple. Yeah yeah yeah its taco bell, what do you expect… WRONG! This is one of the worst taco bell locations i have ever been to. The 7 layer burrito tasted like it was filled with cigarette butts and axe body spray, my taco supreme, that i asked for no tomatoes on, had tomatoes that tasted past their prime, the sour cream tasted like butter… ugh all in all this «food» was terrible.
Oh wait, my nachos were

but thats it…
if you want a GOOD taco bell in seattle, go to the one on 4^th in sodo. they are the best around.

Taaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccc­ccooooooooooooooooooooooooooosssssssssssssssssssss!
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUU­UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!
This place is great, cheap, and sexy.

Imagine, for a moment, that a company is not its brand or its products, but its people.
In the fast food industry, what do we think about? A big drive-​through menu, and the voice on the other side of that menu nasally asking us what we’d like. But do we really associate that voice with the food that winds up in our bag? Rarely; only if that person really distinguishes themselves in some way or another, and usually, when they do, it’s bad.
This particular Taco Bell, however, has a manager named Thep. Thep’s real name is a combination of letters that are put together in a way that I have never seen before, and have no idea how to pronounce. However, Thep told me to just call him Thep, and if that works for him, it works for me.
Thep is, in a word, awesome.
See, if you don’t work in the fast food industry, and instead you work in an office type setting, a «professional» setting, you tend to walk into fast food establishments with a certain set of filters running in your mind about the people who DO work in that restaurant. Like maybe they’re still in High School. Or maybe they’re not smart enough to have a ‘professional’ job like you. Or maybe they’re struggling with English and this is the best they can do. Or maybe… or maybe… or maybe… go ahead and fill in the blank. Don’t be embarrassed, it’s just you and this review, and it’s perfectly normal and fine to have pre-​conceived notions. We’re human. That’s how we work.
I say this, because as progressive and open minded as I like to tell everyone I am, I did the same thing. It’s like I had a veil over my eyes, but I didn’t realize it, because it’s always been there, and then all of a sudden, someone lifted it and I saw Thep a whole new way. And what other veils still cover my eyes? I’m human, and we have veils. I look forward to pulling more of them off.
But let me take a step back here for a moment. Whenever I have a business check to deposit at the bank that shares the parking lot with this Taco Bell, I treat myself to Taco Bell. Read my previous review for why. Every time I walk in, Thep looks up and says, «Hi Will! How are ya man?!»
And I’ve seen Thep in action with disgruntled customers. He’s honest and straightforward. He’s respectful. He doesn’t condescend and he doesn’t patronize. I thought this was pretty amazing, because I, mr. progressive, mr. open-​minded, assumed that Thep maybe is a high school drop out or something like that. «I mean,» thinks I, «he works at Taco Bell.»
How fucking condescending and small minded is that? Would you like to see my veil?
I found out today that Thep has a degree in Pharmacology. Thep works at Taco Bell because he really loves it. He loves to train incoming managers. He really loves to see people inspired and happy, discovering that they can do things that they didn’t think they can do. Maybe one reason they don’t think they can do those things is because one of the side effects of working at Taco Bell is you have all these asshole customers like me coming in assuming they can’t do ‘anything more.‘
So the food at this particular Taco Bell is typically Taco Bell. It’s got ground beef, and cheese, and lettuce, and tomatoes, and tortilla, and it’s served pretty fast, and the tables upon which you eat that food are as clean as is reasonable in a fast food joint.
But today I realized that most of the people working in there are the same people that were working there last year, in an industry known for rapid turn over. Why would that be? Except maybe there’s a guy working there who loves what he does, loves «the concept of thinking outside of the box (or the bun, in this case: P), of breaking paradigms,» to quote Thep. Regardless of what any of the rest of us assholes think or assume or judge.
All of a sudden, my Taco Supreme was, in a word, awesome.

As I hark back to the good days, Taco Bell stands out. Their old adobe style architecture with an iconic bell suspended at the top.
To be honest, I have no idea where I’m going with this.
This Taco Bell kicks ass. The service is quick (even for fast food), friendly (considering it’s fast food) and clean (considering it’s fast food). A skip and a hop away, it’s one of my default lunch locations when I’m at home. I can go vegetarian with a bean burrito or I can go crazy with a greasy chalupa and nachos supreme.
My complaints reside in the fact it’s not open past 10:00 (or 11:00) — didn’t Taco Bell come up with the fourth meal? And unlike other Taco Bell locations, they don’t offer KFC and/​or Pizza Hut products.
To the Taco Bell staff, I salute you for your service to my stomach!

Sadly, this Taco Bell does not successfully make it to the border.
In fact, more often than not, the border is closed! On three occasions, we have tried to «make a run for the border» to enjoy fourth meal, a late night concept that Taco Bell created, only to discover that they were closed. (Note: in our cases, late night was 10:45, 11:15, and 11:20, so we aren’t talking about a 3 a.m. quest for huevos rancheros.)
The one or two visits that we’ve had have been lackluster at best. Tacos Supreme arrived as just plain tacos. The mix on the soda was off. And the view from the drive thru made us glad that we weren’t dining in and left us wondering whether or not we should even what was coming out of the window.
Alas, we now wander farther, knowing that the King of Burgers will always keep his borders open for us, no matter the hour.
