Terrible service, predatory pricing. First off there prices are higher than the average Taco Bell for various items. Second when I tried to get $1 happy hour drinks for my kids, I had some young kid with attitude flat out lie to me and said that they stopped doing happy hour years ago. And he was trying to charge me $2.19 plus tax per drink, when every other Taco Bell I have been to in 6 other states abides by corporates happy hour deal (which is also all over their official website)I politely told him I changed my mind didn’t want anything and left. About 10 minutes later I received and notification that he still charged my card for something I didn’t get, that he saw I didn’t receive, and didn’t even bother to refund it. So I had to drive back and make them reverse the charge. When I asked him why he still ran my card, he gave me some pathetic response that I left. I told him that doesn’t explain why you would STILL run a charge on my card, then not cancel or refund it when I didn’t get anything. He then tried to crack a some unintelligible remark about my pride that honestly didn’t make sense. But what it equivalent to was him mouthing off at me trying to make himself feel right by insulting the customer. Bottom line if I were you, I would rather drive five minutes over to milpas to get better service and not to mention better prices than rather pay extra for cheap fast food, or potentially have an unauthorized charge then hear some insubordinate remark when you have to drive all the way back to make them reverse it.

I've been coming here for quite a few months now and I usually come here to get work done on my laptop due to my roommate needing our apartment most nights, so since this taco bell is open late and nearby, I come here to get stuff done for my photography and travel projects. Lately, I guess due to my frequency, the staff seems a bit annoyed or bothered and very stand offish by my presence. I usually order on my app and pick it up at the to-go counter, request the bathroom some visits, and stay to myself in the corner on my laptop. I don't bother anyone, I don't play music loudly, and the only interaction I have with the staff is when I pick up my order, and I say hi, and thank you. Then I go sit down and finish my work. I'm not sure if it's because of my race, or the fact that I don't speak Spanish to them, but I don't see the need to talk about customers while they're in ear shot and physically in the restaurant. I'm always polite and stay to myself. It's very discouraging and makes me not want to come as often. There are no other places to study late or get work done like most cities, so this is my only option some nights.

Ordered to go, and made the simple human error of forgetting to do the tedious process of inputting exactly how many sauce packets I wanted, therefore getting ZERO sauce packets. On a $35 order consisting of two tacos and a nacho belgrande combo. For that price, I wish they had good enough sense to actually include a few damn sauce packets. Meal sucked without. Soda also had a chemical, plasticky off taste. If you like a Taco Bell that doesn't include sauce packets, you would also like a Chinese restaurant that doesn't include rice with their stir-fry, or perhaps some Texas BBQ with NO SUACE. Last $35 I'll ever spend at Taco Bell. Next time I'll go order some spaghetti minus the sauce. Pancakes no syrup. Cornbread, no butter. Cereal, no milk. Sunday buffalo wings with no buffalo sauce. A guitar with no strings. Gin and tonic no gin. WTF TACO BELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No drive through, does have a walk up window that stays open late after dining room closes for the night but it is sketch and had a black widow above the window just waiting to fall on an unexpecting customer.

You need to decide if this is the place for them!Parking: Large parking lot in back.Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchairs are not be a problem here but they don't provide them.

A lovely, clean restaurant with a capacious dining room and speedy service. Ask for your favorite and they may find a way to make it even if it’s officially off the menu at the moment.
