Old school building is kind of neat. Bathrooms are outside. Brick and mortar building, like it's been there since the beginning.

This Taco Bell is beauty in its purest state. Everything you order will be hot and loaded inside tortillas that aren't dried out husks. Your sauce of choice will be abundantly provided. This is the standard. You'll know it's true the moment your order arrives. Piping hot, and assembled with the sort of competence that renders any further explanation unnecessary. You've experienced it before - this is it now.
