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.

Stopped by for lunch one day with my wife and we decided to eat there so I could get plenty of the fire hot sauce (usually they only give a couple in the drive-thru... I need at least 3 per taco). After waiting about 20 minutes for our food during this lunch rush I found there was still no hot sauce packets at the hot sauce bar and I asked one of the employees if they were going to refill it and she replied very rudely "I'm not going to but someone will." I was upset... Despite the horrible customer service, the new Fiery Chicken Cool Ranch Doritos Locos Taco was fantastic and would definitely go back to order it again.

Oh Taco Bell.....what a love/hate relationship it truly is....sometimes I get a crunch wrap and all the meat is on the left side while all the lettuce is on the right side. Sometimes I get nachos consisting of about 10% meat 20% cheese and about 70% of flavorless nacho chips with nothing to put on them but extra fire sauce. And speaking of fire sauce.....is it like a rule that you can only give 2 sauce packets away at a time??? Yes, I see the sign on the drive thru door that says "sauce only available upon request".....but I requested and you still only give me a measly 2 or 3 packets! Don't you realize that I have a fire sauce addiction and must drown my food accordingly in at LEAST 3 packets per item?! That means if I order 2 items I need AT LEAST 6 sauce packets....minimum. Anyways, the inside is clean enough although I can't attest for the bathrooms since I never used them. Some things on the menu they make better than others. For example, the supreme burrito is a crapshoot. You can either have an amazing one or you can have one with all the meat on one side and all the guacamole and sour cream on the other. You just got to hope you started from the right side depending on how messy the process will become. On the other hand, this place has never made a bad quesarito in all of quesarito existence! They are always consistently good! The nachos are a crap shoot. The Mexican pizzas are always great. You just got to gamble a little bit....and let's be honest....if your at Taco Bell your clearly already in the gambling mood so.

I really like this taco bell... Normally, it is very fast-paced and all the people who work here are normally really friendly. However, today and the last time I have gone here I have received less than awesome service and a 40 minute wait in the drive thru....make sure you bring a book with you....
(3)Jon G.
Very slow service. Took twenty minutes to get my order, and they didn't get it right. First they forgot my Volcano Nachos, and then when I got to work & started to eat, I found that my soft tacos supreme were missing the sour cream, making them just plain soft tacos. This was NOT a busy time of the day. Two folks in front of me inside, and maybe six cars in the drive-thru.
(1)Leigh A.
All I can say in this review is that I can confirm that this place is certainly a Taco Bell, and they make food that you'd expect from a Taco Bell. It's awful in the way that a Taco Bell can be awful, and they may screw up your order because of the nature of fast food, but again: yo, it's a Taco Bell.
(3)Jameson Q.
I feel a bit ashamed writing this review since I can not remember the clerk's name. I think it started with a 'T'. So let's just go with that. Travis, you are a gentleman and a scholar. You refer to your customers in 19th century fashion. I'm not sure how that plays in to the whole mexican theme, but you are extremely entertaining. When you called me 'Sire' I felt a vibe. I think we've got a good thing going, right? You told me you were my servant and that you would provide the highest quality mexican food for the low low price of $4.89. You talked to me like I was special, Thomas. I can't help that I felt a bit jealous when you also referred to the next customer in line as 'Sire', but I understand.. you are just playing the field. It was when you referred to customer #3 as "my queen" that I grew suspicious. You may be a humble Taco Bell employee, but your conversational skills are excellent. Waiting for my order I heard you discuss cardiology, gravitational research, the meaning of life, the potential for parallel universes, and the solution to all the world's suffering. When you spoke to customer #4 in fluent Spanish I was fully impressed. Almost as impressed as when you spoke to customer #5 in fluent French. Nevermind that she did not know French, I know enough. You are magnificent and really need to be working in sales for a fortune 500. In that 5 minutes I waited for my food I learned so much about the patrons because of you. You are a natural conversationalist, someone who knows how to connect, through 19th century verbiage. Tucker, you are a fantastic Taco Bell clerk, and I just hope the next time I visit your establishment I can be honored by being served by you, humble squire. (Wait, maybe your name just had a 'T' in it?) Victor, you bring joy to those Taco Bell patrons. You show them what it is like to be a king, Tracy. I'm not sure the management approves of your conversational stylings, and in fact I think it may have held up the speed of your *fast food*. But it was worth it to overhear your conversation with the cardiologist. You are clearly one of the most intelligent and interesting Taco Bell clerks I've encountered, and I hope your frequent apologies to customers are just cautionary, and not neccessary. Taco Bell Veterans, do not change a thing.

Okay just assume this is my review for Taco Bells nationally . . . Now I grew up eating a whole buttload of Taco Bell because my poor mother was baffled as to how to feed her vegetarian child (btw mom, chicken broth is STILL not vegetarian any way you look at it). Plenty of bean burritos, tostadas, 7-layer burritos, and sometimes that chips and queso . . . As an adult and vegan now, I still find myself resorting to Taco Bell every now and then when the wallet's feeling a little empty or I'm hard pressed for time. Yes I'm aware that Yum! Brands is a not so nice and ethical corporation to operate under, but again sometimes poverty and convenience trump my ethical concerns (so sue me!). Anyway, Taco Bell now offers a Fresco line for their customers seeking less fat grams. This automatically makes the bean burrito vegan and thank the good lord for that because I cannot tell you how many times I've asked them to hold the cheese and BAM - gooey cheese all up in my burrito. It still comes with the red sauce and onions, I believe, but just a measly sprinkle of tomatoes instead of cheese. I mostly just restrict myself to the bean burrito because honestly, I can't say I LOVE Taco Bell. I don't crave it as it does taste like low quality conveyor belt made fast food - but I digress. I sometimes get the Tostado, minus the cheese - a hard flat shell, beans piled on top, some red sauce, and a handful of lettuce. The 7-layer burrito used to be a staple in my weekly diet when my mom was in charge of my meals, but from what I understand, the sour cream has gelatin! Ohhh all these years of lies! I think if you remove the sour cream, cheese, and guacamole (not sure if it's vegan?) - you could feasibly make it vegan, but it wouldn't be 7 layers anymore, obviously. So as far as ubiquitous fast food goes, Taco Bell is my favorite strictly because of the vegetarian options. I'm not too keen on that Subway Veggie Delite which is basically salad in bread so when I'm especially poor, on the run, or just needing a protein fix, Taco Bell is my man! But really I rather not eat here if I have the choice. Ohhh I always drown everything in Fire sauce because it minimizes the poor quality taste of my burritos, hah.
(4)Dennis G.
It's Mexican fast food, of the most simplified kind. Actually, calling it Mexican food is a bit of an insult to actual Mexican cuisine. Even still, it can be tasty. Taco Bell specializes in tons of variations of the same seven of so ingredients. It may not be the best quality food but it's cheap as all hell, which is good for college students and poor bachelors.
(3)Erica M.
OK it's taco bell.......I don't expect much at all.......but DANG can these people get any more rude?!?!? Lately the service has gotten a *little* better but ...... I'm not sure if they know how to get an order right...ever.
(2)Jake K.
Taco Bell is a culinary cul de sac, but god is it delicious.
(3)matt h.
One star reviews from me are rare, but the twenty car line at the drive through on a Sunday night that did not move once, not once, in over five minutes will do that. The line was backed up to the point we were almost hanging out into the street and I did not see one car get any food or move at all. I have no idea if they prepare the taco bell staples properly because after nearly ten minutes in a line that would have lasted an hour I decided I needed to go somewhere else before my stomach ate itself. Hire some more employees for God's sake!
