Taco Bell

Taco bell on oracle is a good place to eat on a budget… not real Mexican food, but you get full on about 5 bucks.

Like my Mom always said…“if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all.”
On the other hand, she’d probably also tell you that I’m insubordinate and borderline oppositional defiant, so…
35 minutes in the drive-​thru is about 30 minutes too long, especially when the parking lot is desolate.
Was the food at least worth the wait? Well, the bean burrito was redolent of chicken and steak, which likely fell into the bean pan over the last couple of hours. The onions tested like BO. So no.
I heart Taco Bell in all of its GMOey transfatty gloriousness. Just not this one on 9÷1÷15 at around 4:30ish.

Ok, look, it’s TACO BELL and not some five star restaurant, so why I am doling out 5 stars? SERVICE, SERVICE, SERVICE!!! No, I’m not a fan of all the food (but try the Cantina Power Bowl for healthier fare here – beans, rice, salad, pico de gallo and chicken or beef. you can tell them to hold the sour cream if you’re off dairy/​high fat), but my 8 yr old loves it, it’s fast, and most of all, I feel like I’m stopping at a friend’s house for quick bite thanks to the warm hospitality of manager Kelly and her crew. She is a positive turbo force of superior customer service rarely seen these days which she inspires in her staff. She remembers our names and knows that my daughter hates tomatoes, so off they come on any meal. Her staff really care about your comfort and satisfaction and if you ever have to wait too long cause they are getting slammed at dinner time, they are quick to make it up to you with a smile and special treatment like a coupon or free meal. It’s kind of like the cheap Mexican food chain, non-​alcoholic version of the show Cheers… you can get a taco anywhere, but you wanna go where everybody knows your name and they’re always glad you came.

Ugh the drive through took 15 minutes! The cashier was very chipper though. Taco Bell is Taco Bell, just this location seems to be sloooww food instead of fast food.

Taco Bell is Taco Bell wherever you go, but at least this one is clean, has friendly service, and gets the order right!

The 12 pack is back. Taco Bell is clean friendly and usually not too busy.
