As far as Taco Bells go, I really like this one. The service is very friendly, the drive-thru is convenient and the food is spot-on. Of all the Taco Bells I visited, this one probably serves the best food. Hot and fresh. Also, the items are prepared very quickly i.e. about one minute for my order. The staff is welcoming and they accommodate my requests for extra fire sauce. Try the new quesalupa!

Only two requests when I walk into a Taco Bell… It’s clean and the team behind the counter is friendly. This place connected both of them. We just just looking for a quick lunching and that’s exactly what this was. We walked in to a bright(three window walls) restaurant and the girl behind the counter smiled at us and asked how she could help… We placed our order and two minutes later we were sitting and eating our meal. Some Tacos(do I really need to review) and the new crispy taco slider. They make this from a soft tortilla and person folds and grills… Not bad, I had the sriracha chicken which had plenty of tender chicken and was a bit spicy in a nice crunchy shell. They had a few different varieties which I think I’ll try on my next visit. Kudos to TB… I have been a fan of this chain since a teen and they have always been looking for was to shake up their menus from time to time… They do a good job and it always seems like I get the extra friendly person behind the counter.

gloriously giving this place 5 stars because I can shamelessly say I’ve been coming here for 23 years lol this place is a golden staple to those who live in there area and want Taco Bell to cheaply/deliciously fill up their tummies while catching up their friends. Shout out to Madhu auntie lol Honestly only thing I would say about this place is avoid annoying ass high schooler who are dumbasses who drink and come to Taco Bell after. Stop drinking and driving to Taco Bell. Do you really want to leave this world saying you were on your way to Taco Bell? Or worse from Taco Bell? Don’t be stupid. All right now enjoy your tacos you silly kids.

If you want fast food and the right order do not come here! It is anything but fast… walked into the place yesterday morning and there was another gentleman ahead of me and nobody at the front registers. He looked like he was getting annoyed and called out to the people in the back cooking. He yelled out HELLO and stated that he had already been waiting there 5 minutes. His order wasn’t even taken. After he put his order in me and my husband put in ours. I ordered a California Crunch Wrap since I saw this came with avocado inside and I am a fan of avocado. My husband ordered an am burrito with bacon. I also ordered a regular iced coffee. We waited around for our order which seemed to be taking a long time. It was about 10:45 a. m when our order was taken. Someone was joking with the guy in front of me saying the mail was going to be late today. I then realized the guy ahead of me was a mailman and he had parked the mail truck right outside. A group of young guys walked in and placed their order. We decided to take a seat and wait for our order since this looked like it would take quite some time. After what seemed like a few minutes the lady behind the register started calling out food orders that belonged to the group of young guys that had walked in after us. Huh! How you figure? My husband looked at me and said maybe breakfast is just not their thing. Maybe they ordered, lunch. At this point I see the mailman grab his order and head to the door. On his way out he looked at me and smiled. He said they take forever! Finally our number for our order was called. I was all excited to try out the Taco Bell breakfast. I have to say our items were very hot and fresh. I bit into what I taught was my California crunch wrap. It was a good crunch wrap just not the one I ordered. It had a lot of bacon in it. I look up at my husband eating his burrito and I noticed his burrito had avocado in it. Was your Burrito supposed to have avocado in it, I asked. He said no and then we realized that our fillings were swapped. It was too late to correct the order and I definitely did not want to wait around here any longer. I ate half of my crunch wrap then switched over to my husbands half burrito. What can you do right? My iced coffee tasted good. It had too much sugar. I know this because I was crunching sugar crystals in my mouth with every gulp. Not sure if this place is shortstaffed or just unorganized but I feel bad for them. I think something needs to be done to save this Taco Bell from going under. I had joked around with my husband saying that drive-through would have been faster, but then I see a previous review stating that her drive-through order took 20 minutes!

I will try and find some sort of goodness within this fiasco called a visit to Taco Hell. Pulling up to the drive thru, it was overwhelming. I cannot remember the last time I needed a laxative, but apparently today was the day. The ordering menu was full of stuff I was never aware of that Taco Bell even offered. I think there was a mini-anxiety attack starting as all I could think was. oh god, please let there be something I remember from the caveman era. Tacos, yes… oh oh… there is the Chalupa. I remember something about the Chalupa bread being tasty(my mind forgot the fact that the only thing good about the Chalupa was the bread). I just knee jerked and said I will have the #6. The voice then said, beef or chicken. Another choice, OMG… ok, chicken, no I mean beef. I did not know what I meant. I finally decided on beef. Then the voice said, what drink… ok…a diet??? What do they serve here. I now know its Pepsi products. So I ordered 2 Chalupas, 1 Crispy taco and a drink. This sounded like way too much food. Why is everything in the form of «last supper» type proportions. The lady at the window was nice, handing me my drink and taking the cash. I guess they take the cash so quickly incase the smell of that, I don’t know what to call the smell coming out of the drive thru window. But it was weird beyond weird. She then asked if I would like sauces with my meal. The brain area some what remembered that sauce factor, so I said yes, not so spicy please. Next thing I know the bag is out the window and she is wishing me to have a good day. Ok, so she was friendly enough and the process was probably ok, except for the fact that I have not eating at Taco Bell in years. Now I was at the point of no return. Well not really, but I felt committed. First out of the bag the Chalupa. The bread looked the same, it was crispy, really crispy. More like over crispy. I think I remember it being soft yet a bit buttery maybe, maybe I was dreaming, anyway it was take a bite time. At first glance this thing looks like a glorified taco. It is right. Its a taco with the different bread. The bite was stunning. Nothing had any taste. It looked like tomato, lettuce, cheese, beef… sour cream somewhere… but none of it had flavor. I take that back, the beef had flavor. It tasted and looked something like what would be a swirly meatish sauce, if I had to describe it visually… add a can of potted meat to a can of Kennel Ration and add some I don’t know, taco kinda flavoring. As I look around the car, I am asking is anyone around to tell me what the hell this is I am eating. This cannot be what they serve. I added the taco sauce thinking this surely would help it. No… nothing will help it. I almost would rather eat my most hated food in the universe than this taco wrapped in a bad Chalupa shell. Let me also add that whoever made this thing must be mad at the world for working at Taco Bell, because they put the glob of sour cream at the end, so that when you bite into it, the whole thing plops out. I some how made it through the Chalupa, thinking ok, the crispy taco might be better. Did someone seriously slip me some drugs today, or have I totally lost every bit of sense I have accumulated in my lifetime cause this is some irrational behavior on my part. The hand goes in the bag and I find the crispy beef taco. Seriously, they would not put that Kennel Ration beef on the beef taco, would they? Oh yes they would and oh yes I am clearly not using my intelligence appropriately today. I cant even describe this pitiful looking taco. Am I just too old now to understand this is what children of the 80’s are eating now and actually seem to be okay with this crap. Was I so young when I ordered Taco Bell back in the day that I don’t remember that it was crap then and its still crap now. No, I don’t think so. I remember when Taco Bell really cook up the beef and the beans and the cheese tasted like cheese, and the tomatoes and lettuce were freshly chopped… and sour cream did not come out of a container that looked like you should be caulking a bathroom. Those days we did not need Dorito flavored shells because the tacos insides actually tasted pretty good. The reason you need to order a Dare Devil Loaded Griller with Fiery Ghost Pepper is because without the hot as hell, burn your bum winker, this food is basically flavorless and looks like dog food. I think that dog food probably has more flavor. I would presume that the bad happened earlier today when I made the poor decision to turn right at the border, but something tells me that the worst is yet to come. I have plenty of Soft Charmin and Baby Wipes standing by for the what could probably be best described as Nuclear Warfare meets the King of Porcelain. All I can hope for is that the gaseous wafts of Kennel Ration Chalupa meet bad Taco do not somehow suffocate my loving mate.

I liked the chicken griller, but they take to long with walk ins. And drive through thry always mess up your order, and you cant do a left turn. But overall the food is better then other taco bells. So 4 stars

Every time I go to a Taco Bell chain restaurants I always get the #6 combo meal with the two chalupas and always asked for them fresh but when I get them they’re either cold and mushy or sometimes hard like a rock. This is about the third time this as happen and I always get the we just made them line to just get me to buy my food as get out there drive thru just to make time. The Baja blast barely had any syrup that my drink tasted like Baja flavored seltzer water. I really like Taco Bell but if this continues you will lose me as a customer.

I have been going to this taco bell a lot lately because it’s closer to me than I realized. I never go inside but I always use the drive thru service. Generally, the service is prompt and accurate. Last week, I went and ordered 6 things and when I got home realized one of my orders were missing. I called over to the store and they said it was there I can come back for it. I was a little annoyed that I had to drive all the way back when they could have just pit my food in the bag. However, I know humans make mistakes and when I got their the manager was so nice he gave me a free item to compensate for the inconvenience. Their new siracha items are great & the Cinnabon bites are heavenly. !

Very upset. If the hours say open till 4 am it is unacceptable to close at 315 am on a Monday. My husband works nights and wanted to grab a quick bite but instead he saw the employees leaving saying it was closed and to leave.

Always go here but One of the employees there was a major assh*le the last time I went because I asked him to substitute beans into my order. He rolled his eyes and was like you’re too much. Like OKKK. But whatever it’s fast food.

I’m not much of a fast food eater but I occasionally crave a quick«mexican» fix. I happen to be a vegetarian so I find taco bell the only fast food place I can go and order food other than french fries. I always order the same thing XL nachos substitute meat with beans, cheesy fiesta potatoes, and a large mountain dew. Seems easy to order right? WRONG. The workers are completely thrown off by the«substitue the meat for beans» line. Or if you say vegetarian they will literally just give you plain nachos and charge you for the meal. I don’t go to Taco Bell often enough to actually have a gripe… its a just sayin’ type of thing.

After God created the heavens and earth, seperated the seas and skies, gathered the waters and grew the vegetation, on the seventh day he rested. What the bible’s authors failed to document was that on that day, an overwhelming hunger manifested In Him, one that could not be satiated only with vegetation he had created. So after resting on the seventh day, Lo and behold the glories of the Crunchwrap, the luxurious hybrid Mexican Pizza, incendiary Volcano tacos with their mystery chili sauce, the unforgettable and unchallenged hot sauce packets, and thou shall enjoy Taco Bell and other tex mex institutions are overrun by real mexican cuisine!

It is a chain store and yet they can’t get the order right multiple times. It’s really bad when you take to go and you find that you are missing something

That Taco Bell food you’ve come to love. I’ve stopped here twice now because they are open late and I don’t really know the area. The dining room and bathrooms are clean. The food is well prepared and the service is fast.

The reason its a 1 star is because they do not look at the order. I order 2 veggie things and 1 beef and it came back all veggie. Only the 4th time this has happened to me. That is not coool. Food is okay but they never follow simple directions.

Whenever I come in here its pretty empty. Which is a great thing. No silly line to deal with. The food tastes like taco bell and is usually fresh. I’ve never had something and questioned how long ago did they concoct this. The workers aren’t particularly nice but they aren’t horrible. Nice enough. It’s usually well kept. Not a whole bunch of garbage lying around. It’s a pretty decent place as far as taco bells go. I’ve never ordered anything from the pizza hut menu so I don’t know about that side.

I rarely eat fast food, but Taco Bell and Wendy’s are the two I will occasionally tolerate. This Taco Bell is one of the few spots in the area that is open late night and sometimes after a night of Long Island style fist pumping you just crave a cheesy gordita crunch and nacho bell grande with no meat.

Why write a review of Taco Bell, you say? Because fast food restaurants are based on fast service and efficiency, and this one is the best of them all. You see, this TB is located right next door to Dublin Nightclub. For those of you not familiar, this is one of the biggest teen age dive bar hangouts on LI. Thus, the staff at this location are very patient with you if you are actually sober. Plus, the food is very fresh late at night due to the high turnover from the club patrons. One thing I will say is watch out for drunk teen drivers, they congregate here and make it a safety issue.

I have to say that the people manning the drive thru around lunch time are perhaps the nicest people ever to work in a fast food place ever. They are incredible and never messed up my order– I like to go here as it is real close to my job and there is never a huge line at the drive thru.
