Taco Bell

Clean — sometimes can get a little crowded at night — nothing out odd this world.

I’ve been going to this particular Taco Bell since it first opened it’s doors in 1995 – 1996. I used to walk there as a kid. I remember they used to sell ice cream there. It was like a TCBY or something. Then after they closed the TCBY they started selling Choco Tacos for desert. I digress. This location has been through a lot. From 2000 to 2004 it was horrific. Bad and slow service tons of mistakes. Since it’s renovation and management change it has been good now. They are pretty quick at getting the good out and the mistakes are at a minimum. The one issue I have with this Taco Bell, and I’m not sure if this is a universal problem or even some sort of upper management decision. But the problem is, I will go through the drive thru and order say 6 or 7 items. They will say «Do you want any sauce with that?» I will say yes, hot sauce please. They will then either hand me 2 or 3 hot sauce packets or 1 hot sauce and 3 milds. So I have two options. Either I park my car and go inside or I will say «Can I have 6 hot sauce packets ?» If I ask for a specific number of packets they will still short me. If I ask for 6 or 7 hot sauces, they will give me 4 or 5 of them and one or two mild. So I don’t know if they have been given an edict or something, but the dispensing of their hot sauce is disastrous. If this wasn’t an issue, I would give the joint 5 stars. It’s in a rough area of new haven too. «Four corners «is a tough spot. A lot of the surrounding blocks are really tough neighborhoods.

It’s Taco Bell. You review the location, not the food.
That being said, it was clean, the employees were friendly, and overall was a good visit.

My bf and I love Taco Bell, so we have been coming had made it a point to come here weekly.
No more income stream from US Taco Bell!
The previous week, we tried a 99 cent grillers. They’re small but very good.
This week, we went and they gave it to us in a large tortilla with only maybe a spoonful of «stuff» inside. It was pathetic. I looked at it and it was literally 70% tortilla in each bite (because of the many layers the tortilla had to do to cover the spoonful of stuff. I asked her for another one but they refused, saying that that’s why it’s 99 cents.
They lied to my face, saying that was normal and how it was meant to be served. They wouldn’t let me have a normal one. I just asked for my money back instead.
The way they treat people and lie is really gross. I am never coming in again!

Normally, Taco Bell’s really not that bad — decent quick meal or snack for a decent price. THIS particular Taco Bell, however, is incredibly skimpy with the goods. I went through the drive-​thru and ordered some regular tacos — nothing fancy, just a taco with beef, lettuce, cheese, and tomatoes. When I unwrap my taco, the shell was barely filled with anything. At least half of the taco was empty!
Yo quiero Taco Bell? Find another one and forget this cheapo Taco Bell.

This place is packed late at night and it doesn’t help that they only have like 2 employees working at night on the weekends. Because of this they tend to take an extremely long time filling your order (especially if you have a large order for a few people) and unfortunately something consistently gets messed up.
