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.

Taco Bell delivers one of the most authentic fast food tex-mex experiences in Philly! Their hot sauce packets are always fresh, the refried beans are always reconstituted perfectly, and the onions are my favorite frozen then microwaved veggies in the city. I also have a beef with people that say they get diarrhea and or nausea/vomiting from eating Taco Bell's food. I have eaten at Taco Bell hundreds of times and have never ralphed or sprayed one t-bowl with sewer gravy as a result of eating here. Do yourself a favor and head "south of the border" and throw yourself a personal mouth watering "fiesta" at your local Taco Bell Restaurante Mexicana.

This Taco Bell is NEVER open until its stated hours. It's is ALWAYS closed before its posted hours. DO NOT BOTHER.
(1)Anupma S.
I LOVE TACO BELL. But this location isn't the best. They take forever to fill orders. I've experienced really crowded Taco Bells and this one really doesn't know how to deal with a crowd. They also keep all the sauces behind the counter. Probs because people take a million each and it's Philly, but still inconvenient to have to ask for this sauce and that sauce, espec when you've been waiting forever for your food.
(2)Eric L.
Eating at this Taco Bell was like a breath of fresh air, if only all taco bells were like this one. Service was great and even the food tasted better than any Taco Bell I've had. There was a problem with me trying to enter the ps4 giveaway with my phone, and the manager (Richi, sorry for spelling) was more than willing to help me out with it. Will definitely return!
(5)April L.
I love this place! I got really excited when I saw that a Taco Bell was opening nearby, the other closest one is in the gallery, which I rarely go to. The place is extremely clean and the employee are so friendly! I will definitely be back.
(5)Jordan P.
I have to resist specifically writing a review for the quesarito even though, realistically, that food item is what this T. Bell location symbolizes to me. If I WERE to do that, I'd say this establishment was meaty, melty, gooey, and best when it's covered in hot sauce. But I'm not reviewing the quesarito, I'm reviewing the Taco Bell. And as far as Taco Bells go (I've been to more than I can count), this one takes the cake (or the Caramel Apple Empanada, as it were.) Clean, well-tended drink machines, plenty of seats.... I'm shocked that folks are not flocking here every night for late night munchies. Shocked, but elated, as it has become my personal munchie oasis after a trip to Yakitori Boy or a fish bowl at Graffiti! Nestled comfortably on Chestnut, it's accessible from nearly any spot I might visit in Center City. A must for a one-track-taco-mind after slinging back bevvies. The staff has always been courteous, quick, and, on 2 of my 3 visits (SO FAR!), hilarious, making jokes like we were old pals. The bathrooms are clean (again: SO FAR) so use them at will. And if you don't leave here either a) armed with a quesarito or b) bellied with a quesarito you've already eaten... you're doing it wrong.
(5)Dan A.
This was a late night trip to Taco Bell to specifically try the Cool Ranch Doritos Loco Taco. I tricked it out as supreme with beans instead of beef. And as much as I was looking forward to it, the Cool Ranchness was lost on it. Just like the Loaded Doritos at 7-Eleven, it left me underwhelmed. The best bite of the night was the Carmel Apple Empanada. It was warm, crunchy on the outside and Carmel Apple goodness on the inside. I also wanted to mention that the service was really out going and friendly. And I imagine this was partly because they were closing soon.
(3)Doreen D.
Very clean, nice staff and the food is always hot and delicious. It's open late even without a drive thru, which is good because I work late. Thumbs up Taco Bell!
(5)Sammy P.
I don't personally eat here because I hate taco bell. But what I can say is that all the women I surround myself with absolutely go crazy for this place. We always seem to find ourselves there on Friday night at 2am and I get to watch them scarf down burritos and chalupas. They really seem to enjoy it. Oh and the staff is really nice too.
(5)Christine B.
I'll be first. Taco Bell is a rare guilty pleasure of mine. I got excited when I saw this one was opening near my current place of living, and thought that's nice I deserve some Taco Bell in my life. I have yet to try the breakfast, but I did try the new cool ranch chicken taco. It wasn't bad, but overall I've been pretty disappointed with the Doritos taco shells. No major complaints about the restaurant/store itself. They didn't put napkins in the bag. It's new so everything is relatively clean. I'm sure this will do well with the Jefferson crowd and people heading home after a late night.
(3)Elva L.
Well you know, the food is not good. You already knew that. It's not even good with alcohol. The only thing that changes when you add alcohol, is that you might want it, believing it will be good, but it won't be. But that's why we were here, wasn't it. The four stars is because I avoid fast food like the plague due in equal parts to the bad food and the mean people who work there, and this place had some seriously sweet and upbeat workers! They were so nice to me! I tried to give the guy a hundred, and he was very apologetic about not having the change for it. Then while I was waiting and minding my own business he said "sweetheart?" and I was like "wuh me?" turns out he got the change for me! I know, why did I do this, try to break a hundred in a TB? Okay you gross tacky girl. But my point here is: when has anyone working in a fast food restaurant actually gone out of his/her way to help you? It's never happened to me. The super tall lady sweeping around gave me a big smile when she passed by. Um, that never happens either! Fast food workers in my experience are always so discourteous and gruff they look like they're nursing an abscess in their mouths. Anyway, then someone called my name and, as I always do when someone calls my name, I experienced a flash of panic, but the large lady just wanted to give me my awful food, smile at me, and tell me to have a great day. If you like TB, you should go out of your way to come to this one. Lastly, I'm sorry I kept abbreviating it as TB, which also stands for tuberculosis.
(4)Eleanor M.
This is second time I've been here and I must say this is the cleanest T.B I've ever been to and the service is nice, no drama. The food..... Well , hey it's Taco Bell !
(4)Jennifer G.
5 Stars? Really? Yup!! Well, first off, I love Taco Bell no matter what. I know it's junk fast food, but I still love it. It's one of the few fast foods I refuse to give up. Since the only other location is in the Gallery, I don't eat it that often. But then, they decided to open a block from my building. I heard a heavenly choir the day I saw the sign go up. The location is new so it's crazy clean inside, which is a rare sight inside a Taco Bell. The employees are all super friendly (of course I go fairly early when it's not busy so I don't know how they are in a rush) and will usually chat with you while you wait for your food. The food is just standard TB, nothing special really, but still somehow very delicious. If you're a fan of other TBs, you won't be disappointed.
(5)Sean S.
Check it - if you don't like Taco Bell or fast food or have high expectations, go to Chipotle. That place is bangin. Myself? I'm a fat ass who likes Taco Bell and fast food. That being said, this is the best Taco Bell I've been at. It's super clean. The decor is modern and they play the latest pop songs so the place isn't depressing like other Taco Bells (Suburban station, The Gallery, etc). The food is as clean and edible as a fast food joint gets. The employees are either friendly or normal. The customers are mostly Jefferson students/employees so you never get the vibe you're going to get stabbed (like other Taco Bell locations). The only downside is no free wi-fi. But it's ok, sit by the window to piggyback Jefferson's free wi-fi ;)
(4)Brad S.
Sometimes, it's okay to give in to temptation and have something you should not. That's why TB exists, I guess -- maybe also to remind you that you should not give into temptation often. The food was okay, but the counter staff left a lot to be desired. My name isn't Brayan (said that twice) and I didn't want my order to-go (said that twice, too). I wish I had a job where I don't really have to pay attention to what customers say. I could not wait to leave after eating my to-go order inside the joint...
