- ACAlisan CEVIK1 day ago1.0I waited exactly 45 minutes for my order, and when I asked a question, they gave me indifferent and rude answers. Even though the place wasn't crowded, they showed no interest at all.
- EAEhsan Azizi2 days ago1.0They were only taking drive-thru orders. I waited inside for an hour, but no one prepared my order, so I ended up canceling it.
- CHCam HershJan 5, 20261.0Consistently the worst service of any fast food restaurantive been to . I live right behind this store for 15 years and after years of their mistakes I will no longer visit. The last 3 visits to the drive thru....1. No napkins. 2. Guy calls me boss 10 times during ordering.. "how many sauces would you like boss?" Then no sauces or napkins. Why even ask then? 3. (Today). No napkins for at least the 6th or 7th time. Just go to del taco just up the street. They've never screwed up my orders in 15 years. The owner operator clearly has zero standards for employees. Definitely not deserving of 22 bucks an hour for constant mistakes. Pitiful management.
- MSMatt SmithDec 16, 20251.0Man i remember the old saying its called Taco Hell for a reason yep the 7 dollar box meal had me in the bathroom while trying to run my business way too often today! Food was falling apart too. Wont be back here anytime soon. Workers need to wash your hands handling the damn food your feed your customers jesus! Be careful people!
- VZVincent ZitterDec 12, 20255.0Before the remodel it had the worst service and food. Since the remodel, with new employees it is 100% better. The employees are pleasant and efficient. And the quality of the food is better.
