About Taco Bell
Taco Bell is a haven for Mexican delicacies such as tacos, quesadillas, burritos, nachos, and other specialty items. Owned by Yum! Brands, Inc. Taco Bell is one of the fastest growing American chains of fast food restaurants. The restaurant operates from 7,072 different locations which are mostly run by independent franchisees and licensees.
The background story of Taco Bell is interesting and inspiring for budding entrepreneurs. The fast-food brand is the brainchild of Glen Bell, who started his first food venture as a hot dog seller in San Bernardino, California. The year was 1948. After witnessing long queues outside a Mexican restaurant called Mitla Café across the street, Bell saw the opportunity and demand for hard-shelled Tacos. He reverse-engineered the recipe and later started selling Tacos and called the venture Taco-Tia.
Later, the name changed from Taco-Tia to El Taco. Eventually, Glen Bell sold the company to his partner and opened the first Taco Bell in Downey in 1962. By 1964, the restaurant also got its first franchise in Torrance. The 100th Taco Bell restaurant was opened by 1965. PepsiCo acquired Taco Bell from Glen Bell in 1978 and the restaurant brand is currently a subsidiary of Yum! Brands which looks after the restaurant business of PepsiCo.

Mexican Cuisine
If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.

My brother ordered some burrito from this place only to find some green wax substance on it. We don't know what it was, called police and the department of health. The police aside from suggesting the ER also said to save the food for the department of health. The man at the department of health however didn't care and didn't do anything. Shame on you taco bell putting others health at risk for carelessness!!
(1)Kathrine B.
Had to grab something quick before school and stopped in around 3. The food tasted as good as always, and the girl that took my order (ivory is what was on the receipt) was so nice. She greeted me with a genuine smile. This Taco Bell is way better than the one I used to go to in the city.
(5)Taylor M.
I was very impressed by the staff at this location. Very nice, attentive, and accurate order. We dined in and they even checked how we were doing and took our tray. Very impressed for a fast food chain! Way to go!
(5)Victor K.
Nice employees, clean place...but, I get sick everytime I eat at THIS place...other Taco Bells don't do that to me, but this place, yeah, I pay the price. Run Forrest Run! To the Border!
(3)Norm C.
I usually like this place; nice people, ok food. Last week, I got sick from the food. I noticed someone else had a similar review. Just wondering! ????
(1)Samad M.
This time it was a dine in and the staff was friendly and helpful.

Taco Bell serves a niche market. The franchise has single handily ruined white folks view of Mexican and I'm okay with it...it's like a hybrid form of Mexican that is constantly creating new products that shake up gastronomy. Sure that's hyperbole but shit, I really like Taco Bell. This location is great...i can get in and out in a minute. The workers do their job and the food is fresh to order. Recently I had the realization that I need to eat here more often..which i will. Some day I will die and I don't want to exit the world thinking about the cheesy gordita crunch I last had in 2010.
(3)Corrina J.
Usually pretty good. But so far I have been waiting 22 minutes for two Gorditas and a Rolled Griller. The cashier is also very rude.
(2)B D.
What do you expect. It is Taco Bell. That being said it's one of the better taco bells around.
(4)Sydney V.
Surprisingly excellent service. The ingredients, especially the lettuce, seems fresher than other Taco Bell's.
(5)Vikki Y.
Yo quiero this Taco Bell! I am impressed by this location because of the upmost quality service, cleanliness, and delicious food. The cashier was super friendly, made wonderful suggestions and was extremely articulate and helpful (unlike most fast food places where the cashier just sits there)... I love the Dorito taco supreme and I found my food to be super hot and fresh. My friend also enjoyed her food and was pleasantly surprised and delighted that this location has the cinnamon sticks (that brings her back to her childhood)! The manager, Francisco even came out to personally deliver the food we ordered! Since they took a little long to make my dessert, he even doubled my order! I did not expect that and I did not feel that my food took that long! In fact I was surprised by hot fast everything came out! I will definitely return to this Taco Bell!!! Bc I'm a pirateeee! Hand me your taco! arghhhh!! Okay just kidding sugar high!!
(5)Chet M.
Damn menu is too confusing with package offerings of the same thing with just minor tweaks. Just gimme crunchy tacos or Cool Ranch! And can you buy just gauc anymore? They need a lesson from In & Out Burger!
(3)Gee B.
Within the last few months, whenever I come into this Taco Bell, their customer service is WONDERFUL! No other Taco Bell has such kind employees that greet you with a smile and if really slow (in the morning) will make small talk while I'm waiting for my food. I also love that this place is open early in case I need a Taco Bell breakfast. The only mess up they had is once when they forgot to put the 4 cinnabon delights we ordered in our to-go bag. However, when we returned they apologized and gave us 6 of them AND some free cinnamon twists (which I don't care for but I totally appreciate the gesture). My fave Taco Bell location!

I had an earlier incident with this particular drive-thru cashier. Behind me in the drive -thru were a bunch of teenagers which seemed to be his friends because they drove up to the first window and they were chit-chatting for a long time. This made me not want to go back but I did anyways. The next time my family and I dined in and my husband ordered something that he had never ordered before and brought it to the attention of that same cashier that it didn't look like what he had ordered against the picture on the menu. The cashier said that's how it supposed to look. The cashier was not too happy about my husband challenging the food item ordered. Today, January 14, 2015!, I went through the drive thru, placed my order, drove up to the second window, paid, received my drink and waited for my food. The same cashier walked away and started to talk to the cook & staff. I waited what seemed longer than normal. The cashier emerged with the food and i left. When I arrived home and proceeded to take the food out of the bag, there was a lot of sauce. I asked for hot sauce and in the bag, there was a big handfuls of each kind of sauce; I counted 32 sauce packs. I'm really upset at the level of service we've received at this restaurant. We will never go back and will inform everyone we know and though social media channels of our experience.

I ordered from the drive-thru two crispy potato soft tacos and instead was given two 1/2 pound cheesy potato burritos. I didn't realize it until I got home. Oh my god. I'm not sure if this is a bad thing.
(3)Josh l.
Not a big fan asked for a diet soda once and they gave me a regular when I told them about their mistake it became a big process and a rude attitude just for them to give me what I asked for.
(1)Yousuf A.
I go here regularly because it is close to my work. They are generally ok, but they consistently find some way to annoy me: -suddenly increase prices -don't give me hot sauce I give them 3 stars because I don't think they have screwed up any of my orders yet (unlike other Taco Bells). ---- I just lowered my rating to 2 stars because I got really sick after eating there today. Probably not going to go back.
(2)george s.
It's a Taco Bell, so no point talking about the food, good or bad, it is what you'd expect. The reason I'm giving this location only one star is their disregard for inconveniencing customers. First, they have an "Open" sign in the window that never comes down, making it appear that the store is open even when it isn't. What an aggravating nuisance to pull in and park only to find the place is closed. Easy enough to fix, if they cared in the least. Second is the fact that their drive-thru speaker is nowhere near the menu board. So you can't hear when asked for your order and you have to shout to place your order. Otherwise, you need to drive past the menu board to place your order and hope you've decided and memorized what you are going to get. AWFUL design. I don't know what they were thinking - or if they were thinking. Worse, the issue has existed for some time now and they've made no effort to fix the problem. An easy workaround would be to have the employees working the drive thru speak louder so they can be heard, but they don't even do that. So personally I just choose not to give my money to anyone that treats me like I don't matter. There are plenty of other cheap eats (that are healthier and taste better) between there and my office.
