The service is SO slow. I only ordered a taco and a bean burrito. It took 45 minutes after I arrived and ordered on the app previously. The burrito was about 2 inches long.

We went to get Taco Bell because we were really hungry, so we ordered from the screen, and our order finally came after a while, and we took all the food and drinks, and as we were finally going to eat we realized one of the foods that we ordered were missing, we were really upset about it and we had to eat something else to fill us up.

I mean, it's Taco Bell. I would have done a 4/5 rating but unfortunately the cheese in one of our selections was just not melted - otherwise everything else we got was solid.

Because I am a vegan I have been banning dairy for four years now. Taco Bell has fantastic black bean burritos that they customize and can make absolutely cruelty free. The food is fresh and they work hard. They also can customize nachos and other items to taste great and not contain animal products. I wanted to thank them today for keeping their prices affordable and they are friendly.

Let's face it, Taco Bell is not fast food in Ruidoso! Always great service! But food is not tops, like other Taco Bells. And since its Ruidoso it either dead or SUPER slammed, and when its slammed they can't keep up.
