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.

Its your average cisco burger joint, only with tacos. To be honest, taco bell has more flavor. I'm surprised.... Mexican food has such simple ingredients, and they all cross. Refried beans, taco shells, tortillas, Spanish rice. One goes into a nacho, one goes into a burrito, one goes into a taco. And yet very few worry about flavoring anything. Save yourself a buck and go to taco bell. At least some guy on a corporate level has been paid for a few weeks to analyze a flavor. Its at the bottom of my list.

Food is like art, we all see and taste things differently, the way I see it (and taste it) Taco Amigo is perfect!!! This is not authentic mexican food which is why I love it so much most likely, one of my fellow Yelpers said that Taco Amigo was, and I quote, "extremely Americanized Mexican fast food", which is to say that it is really good quality food, well prepared, that taste oh so good!!!!!! Taco Amigo has the best fires in the Utah valley, these are 1980's McDonalds fries, you remember when you were a kid and McDonalds fries were the best thing on earth before they changed the oil, well, Taco Amigo has the fries and the large is huge. The tacos and burritos are just like you make at home which is to say that they are homemade delicious. The hamburgers are juicy, tasty, goodness and everything else that I have tried keeps my mouth watering for my next visit. My only complaint is that some of the portions are a little on the small side, I wish they would add a Macho Menu, you know, the same food sized and priced for men which is to say beefy .................... just a thought. I love Taco Amigo. Until next time fellow Yelpers .......................... Be Local, Live Local, Buy Local!!!!!

Taco Amigo is head and shoulders above any other fast food Mexican place in the simple quality and freshness of food and cleanliness of restaurant. I would give it 5 stars all day long but it is CRAZY expensive and the portions aren't so big as to deserve the extra expense. I guess the quality is enough to keep people coming back cuz they never seem to be hurting for customers. They definitely need better specials and better kid's meals. No quesadillas for the kids?!?!? BTW, their burgers and fries are better than 99% of burger places. So, try those out - soft flour tacos and fries are awesome!
(4)Francis Q.
Great fries and shakes but everything else is just ok. Ordered a chicken burrito for $3.99. The burrito was about 1.5 inches in diameter and 6-8 inches long. Not very impressive.
(3)Charles S.
This is extremely Americanized Mexican fast food. It's good, but it's not great. I personally like the "other" local fast Mexi food chain much better and the prices are about the same. The hot sauce here really has no heat, but does have good flavor. The food is fresh and the service is friendly. I stop in here every now and then, but it's certainly not a destination place for me.
(3)Angela W.
Awwww nutts!!!! I was so sad because just a few days ago I got fries from taco amigo in PG and were so hot & fresh! I was so impressed I had been craving them and got some at the orem location (because it's closer to my house). Unfortunately I felt like I went to mcdonalds. The fries were stale, overly salty, and had all the little end pieces. Overall I will give this place another shot, just bad luck I guess. The staff though is extra friendly!!
(3)Jason B.
Always clean and quality food. It is a little expensive, but that is to be expected of a mom and pop place. They have been consistent for many years. They never have anything on sale, but their quality is better than the Del Taco places that are cheaper.
(4)Link S.
Mmm! A step up from Del Taco. They also have burgers and fries that are good.
(5)David R.
Overpriced! I would choose Taco Bell over Taco Amigo. I ate here twice this week as it is close to where I have been working. They are an Americanized, fast food, Mexican restaurant. I would consider them VERY similar to Taco Bell, except that their food is WAY more expensive and it looks like they also make hamburgers and such. Personally, I have always thought Taco Bell was overpriced, especially when compared to the prices of more authentic places like Betos/Rancheritos, but this place charges FAR more for the same amount of food. Today I tried a bean burrito and a soft taco. They were decently good, but a lot smaller and lower quality than I had expected for the price. I spent over $6 for just those two small items. I could have gotten the same amount of food (and very similar quality) at Taco bell for closer to $2! I can't say there is anything wrong with their food or their service, but I really felt that I didn't get even half as much bang for my buck as I had expected.
(2)Jake W.
The one in pg is better. Laugh out loud.
(2)Jacob W.
Clean with friendly staff, decent fast food burgers. It should be against the law to call their food "Mexican".
(2)Jeff C.
After hearing such much about this place from locals we figured we give it a try. The shakes are awesome we have had the peach and strawberry and like others have said we look forward to summer and those shakes. My wife had the bean burrito combo and loved it. I'd say the fry's are very good. I had the smothered chimichanga and it was decent. The foods very average, I can see why its a popular place because they are very consistent and customers will either love this place or hate it. There's really no middle ground. I'm a fan!
(4)Justin G.
Taco Amigo is great! It's definitely a go-to place when I'm in the mood for quick, easy, and pretty cheap american-mexican food. Why three stars? Because it's A-OK but not outstanding. I've never had a bad experience there, but I've never walked out feeling like my tastebuds would never be the same. Taco Amigo is consistent, tasty, and a good value for the price, but everything on their menu seems to be made from the same 6 ingredients, and it wouldn't be too hard to recreate their meals at home. The one exception? Fresh peach/fresh strawberry shakes! During harvest months for these two fruits, Taco Amigo is constantly making delicious milkshakes with fresh, locally grown fruit! Definitely worth stopping by when their signs let you know it's in season.
(3)Torch B.
All the prices of raise at least 30% there may have to lose me as a customer for a simple taco been three dollars now last time I checked it still had the same ingredients
(3)Kelly R.
I gave this place an extra star just for the strawberry shakes! Amazing! (Otherwise I would have given it 2 stars). We saw the sign and that's what we stopped for! But we were also hoping for some great tacos, per the name TACO amigo. A little disappointed to find they sell burgers and fries too, no mexican rice to be found and no quesadillas for kids. However, our kids did gobble up the chicken taco we ordered them! Overall the food is very average. Everything tastes pretty homemade but really quite bland. And there was only one kind of very mediocre taco sauce and no salsa to be found. The refried beans were deliciously creamy and not too salty! I would change the name of this place to Family American Diner (We specialize in shakes and we serve Tacos too!). LOL. It's just not what you think it will be because of the name.
(3)Skyler N.
Oh man, I used to LOVE LOVE LOVE the regular hamburgers here. Turns out they recently changed the buns and they are GROSS! What is happening here! You guys turned my favorite hamburger in Utah County to the worst one. Sad day!
(3)Jason R.
If I could give this place 0 stars I would. This is by far the worst "Mexican" food I have ever tried. It is disgusting. Not sure what all the other reviewers saw in this place, but it's bad, real bad. Fry sauce with a Bean and Cheese burrito? WTF
(1)Beanis L.
This is where senior citizens get Mexican food. Literally. You will see them when you go. Its even less authentic than taco bell. The hot sauce is watered down mild taco sauce off the store shelf. The burgers are actually decent though. So are the fries. Portions are small though. The only people I know that rave about this place are people that grew up in PG.
(2)Michelle G.
I grew up on Taco Amigo. It's still the only place we can all agree on going when we want a quick fast food place in Utah County. While I personally think they are over priced, it's never stopped me from going there. The fries are good especially when ordered extra crispy and their large fries are HUGE. The burgers and burritos are surprisingly tasty and their homemade "Fry Sauce" is good enough to eat alone, although I'm not sure I should admit that. This particular location even has pumps full of their pink sauce that you can help yourself to, which is nice, because at their other location they charge you for each little cup you order.
