I Honestly Don't Know Where To Begin. I Thought The Food Would Be Delicious But It Was So Disgusting I Got Sick The Next Day, My Stomach And Head Started To Hurt Extremely Bad. Never Getting Taco Bell Ever In My Life Span.

I’m not mad… I’m just disappointed. I removed the beans from my beefy five layer burrito and had it grilled. I added on rice and chipotle sauce for $.30 each, only to get home and have the same beefy five layer burrito from the menu with the beans and nothing that I added on for an additional charge but at least they toasted it… I guess.. Not what I needed at the end of a long day.

I came here during my lunch break for school. looking foward for some taco bell. we’re on a 45 minute time crunch so i placed a mobile order. i get to the speaker and the guy is already very nasty. “we don’t have drinks right now” in a rude voice. i asked him if i could get a refund and said i could only do it in the app so i asked to replace them with the Cinnabon delights. i pull up to the window and wait at least 10 minutes for them. i drive away to look in the bag and see absolutely nothing i ordered. i went in and they gave me my stuff. happy ending right??? no. my nacho fries and Cinnabon delights were upsidedown in the bag scattered everywhere. if you can’t get my very simple mobile order right the least you could do whe you make it is put it in there the right way. not that hard. there was also another time i had came with my friend. i had a mobile order and she wanted a baja blast. i literally said i have a mobile order and want to add a baja blast. they for some reason couldn’t figure that out. i see full grown people working here and im a teenager working at dunkin and i could’ve figured that out easily. im so incredibly disappointed with my experiences at this taco bell. they either need to step up their game or hire some smarter people.

How is it that every time I come here, everything is messed up. Is everyone here high? Is anyone trained? Its crazy how stupid this place is. I legitimately believe they only are surviving because theyre next to the mall and target. Ridiculous.
