    Every single piece of food I ordered had hair in it. EVERY single PIECE. They also forget items in the order. Go to a different Taco Bell unless you want hair and half the items of your order missing. Here’s one picture of the $20 dollar order that had hair. Do better.

    If you order on the app and can't make it to pick up, they'll steal your money. It's happened to me twice at this location.... Really annoying I'm sure it's the same effort to cancel..... Every other taco bell cancels it at closing time. Gross.

    Shitty service impossible to get a hold of anybody & missing items or receiving wrong items constantly then nobody helps after. Waste of time & money.

    They should at least allow people inside later than 10, even if they only allow you to walk up and order/pick up. They're open until 3-4am, but close the doors early, and they're super slow at the drive thru. At least my order is almost always accurate, but they're easily the slowest "fast" food drive thru in dekalb.

    I've lived in the area for over a decade. The overall quality of this particular TB has gone straight down the tubes. Food portions are horrible. One of the "meals" we would regularly get comes with chips and cheese, or a lack thereof. The cheese consistently comes a quarter filled. They also constantly mess up whole orders. Everything from mixing items up, not adding or not adding add-ins, to straight up missing multiple items. And that's just from a customer's perspective. I sometimes also deal with this location as a delivery service driver. What I can tell you is basically the same as above, but also with the knowledge that drivers regularly request NOT to have pick-ups with this Taco Bell. It is that bad. I've literally had employees trash-talk me (in Spanish, of course) because I take care in my work, as they clearly lack. If you care about your money and self-respect from both a customer and a 1099 employee, do yourself a favor by steering clear of this place
