Taco Bell

I eat here way too much, and I should cut it down to maybe just once a week rather. However, the staff is super helpful, polite, and friendly. They’ll be happy to answer any many questions you have. All these years, I didn’t know you could put grilled chicken in almost anything, or make almost anything vegetarian. Thanks for the service.

I like this TB. It’s close to my place. It’s not super sketchy like the 16^th St Mall is. It takes orders via the app unlike the one on Colorado in Park Hill. If I modify something my order they usually get it right. The staff is pretty friendly and the food gets out quick. The reason behind the ³⁄₅ is twice in the past few months they have left an item out of my order. It sucks to pay for something you don’t get but it sucks even more to have to drive back for a $ 3 burrito. I’ve emailed Taco Bell a few times about this but never heard back. Otherwise, TB is still one of the only fast food places I eat at. Hopefully they’re better about getting the orders correct.

I orderd the steak burrito supreme and when I got home I cut it in half and they had only put one tiny piece of steak inside that burrito. Tragic! Probably won’t go back to that location. «WHERE’S THE BEEF»!

Such rude service. Order person in the drive thru was so rude. I had read how bad the service was and guess they fit the description. Will never go to that location ever again.

It’s always an adventure discovering when this Taco Bell will close! Since their various sites on line have vastly different hours listed, you’ll just have to get in your car and drive on over to find out! One day it’s 4am, but then the next day it’s 10pm, but then the next day it’s midnight– you’ll never know until you waste your fucking time to find out!
Then, suppose you’re fortunate enough to catch them on a rare open hour– hope you weren’t expecting to receive everything you ordered and paid for. FAT CHANCE, YA CHUMP! Shoulda gone literally anywhere else.

Forgot lunch today.
Remembered I’d forgotten lunch as I was approaching the TB near my office. So I stopped in and ordered my standard «I forgot lunch» menu: a 7 layer burrito with lots of hot sauce. Saw that at 2 p.m. they had dollar specials on their new drinks which included what they called a «Sangria Blast.»
Got back to the office and found out they didn’t put any sauce in the bag they gave me. Ever try to eat a TB burrito without some sauce to give it at least a little flavor? Don’t put that on your bucket list. Trust me on that one.
Now the Blast, however, that was something a little different. I couldn’t identify all the flavors in it so I went into TB’s website and quickly found the ingredients list which I’ve copied below.
So here’s what I found out I’d consumed in my $ 1 drink (along with my dry/​tasteless 7 layer burrito): «Carbonated water, high fructose corn syrup, citric acid, natural and artificial flavor, yucca mohave extract, sodium citrate, gum arabic, caffeine, red 40 ©, sodium benzoate and potassium sorbate (P), calcium disodium edta (PF), glycerol ester of rosin, sucrose acetate isobutyrate, blue 1 ©.»
Yum yum. My favorite ingredients!
So why, you might ask, given that yicky experience am I raising their rating up to 2 stars instead of 1. .. Well, that person at the drive-​up window maybe couldn’t remember or give me what I’d asked for, but she sure was darn nice about it. So TB, the fact that you hired an exceedingly nice person gets you moved up from a 1 to a 2 star review. Congratulations!
Non mucho gusto,

If you really write serious reviews about Taco Bell than I think you forgot your at taco bell

Of all the Taco Bells I’ve ever been to this one is the best. The staff are always nice and the drive thru line usually goes pretty quick.

This is my happy place. I don’t know why in the world people are complaining about the area being sketchy (did you not realize you were on Colfax? Did that fact completely allude you when you made the turn onto what is known to be the most neglected street in Colorado?) or why people are complaining about the wait. The food at this Taco Bell is actually good. If you were to wait less time (by the way, there is no way you were waiting more than ten minutes) then you would probably be offering the same star rating but complaining about the quality of the food. I can’t eat Taco Bell every day, or even every month. Only because I enjoy wearing the clothing I have and not having to invest my limited funds in larger sizes. If I could I would eat Taco Bell every day. I would eat it and I would be so happy. For now, it will have to remain at being eaten only on my birthday and special occasions, but I promise you after I have a few kids and completely give up I will be sitting in this Taco Bell at every lunch hour for the rest of my life.

Mobile app works! Just needs a little tuning with the employees to understand. My order was almost giving to someone else and my name was never called.
I like my burros grilled the app does not have the option.

It’s taco bell. You know what you’re getting. They are constantly in the weeds. If they paid a decent wage they’d probably be able to have enough employees. That being said every employee I’ve interacted with had been super nice.

Honestly, I feel like the staff tries so hard with what their manager gives them. They are always polite and courteous, despite an otherwise terrible job (or so I assume). The only problem is sometimes it takes painfully long to get through the line, but that could easily be attributed to a management/​staffing problem.

If you’re drunk and it’s dark outside, they probably won’t have any caramel apple empanadas.

Another night, another time Taco Bell isn’t serving anyone in the Drive Thru after 2am, before 4. I did see an employee with a mop and bucket quickly scoot over to the restrooms though, passing the main side entrance; a total deer in headlights moment for her, as I stared her down.

Total downer. Made my guts super angry. Lots of crackheads eat there so someone likes it. Maybe I should try it on drugs.

Been here several times the past few days due to long hours at work only to wait FOREVER for my food. I get that Colfax gets some busy/​crazy traffic but holy smokes this was insane. Both drive thru and done in.
However, I do have to say, every order has been correct.

Hard time deciding. Everything looks good, especially when you’re in the mood for something fried and fatty. Beef and bean burrito really satisfied my craving. Worth the couple of bucks when you’re hungry!

Well, the Taco Bell itself is okay food wise, just watch your back in regards to the surroundings. I watched a crackhead chase a plastic bag blowing around in the wind, like a dog chasing his tail, for a few minutes, then finally went inside. Some shady dude came up and asked for a bite of my Mexican Pizza, and it looked like he had been sitting in there for hours. A new life experience was actually having to stand in line a second time to request to get access to the mens room — yeah, they actually activate a door buzzer from behind the counter, and buzz you in! If you like stepping in trash as a result of the can not being emptied in weeks, this is your place.
Customer clientele problem, perhaps? Gotta admit though, it was free entertainment, and a rather memorable experience for my first visit to this area of downtown!

I’m going to pretend like I just won a contest to be the Taco Bell Director of… Things for a day. Now, I may not be a marketing whiz or a business guru, but I know my way around a Taco Bell (well, I know my way around a taco).
Preface: Taco Bell GETS me. Their menu (except for the catastrophe that is the cantina menu– that would be the first thing to go) speaks to me, and their «fourth meal» branding resonates so deeply with me that I would keep eating Taco Bell through indefinite bouts of food poisoning (I’ve never gotten food poisoning from Taco Bell, btdubs).
However, having just experienced Taco Bell «breakfast» for the first time, here are the changes I would make in my 24 hours as Head Burrito at Taco Bell:
–Open at 4 AM. Taco Bell is known for being super late-​night. Why not also be known for being the super early option? Currently, their breakfast hours are 9 AM to 11 AM. Seriously. Seriously? If you don’t eat breakfast until 9 AM, there is something wrong with you. Being so familiar with fourth meal, I think Taco Bell doesn’t quite grasp what a first meal is. If I hit Taco Bell at 2 AM for 4^th meal, I’m not ready for first meal until well after 11, so Taco Bell misses the mark for both early risers who actually have jobs AND sleep-​till-​nooners. Rise and shine, Taco Bell. You barely rising right now and you ain’t shining.
–A few slight tweaks could rock the breakfast menu. It’s really boring. I expected more from Taco Bell (been fantasizing about Taco Bell breakfast since before puberty). Why not have a supreme option for breakfast? For a few coins more, throw some tomatoes (which you already have) on that vegetarian-​nightmare of a breakfast burrito. I love the vegetable-​barren burrito as much as the next bubba, but sometimes I want some spice in there. Also– have ya’ll ever had sour cream on a breakfast burrito? It is divine. So just go full supreme and throw some tomatoes and sour cream on that thing. Ya’ll probably also have some green onions or something else back there. Wouldn’t take that much extra inventory to enhance what your mama gave you. Plus, it gives customers the options.
–Speaking of options– I’d have more options. I like the Crunchwrap concept for breakfast (no brainer), and burritos are obvious. But I need to see breakfast tacos, quesadillas, and chalupas. Why not? I wanna see breakfast nachos. You guys are claiming to not be boring, but have you SEEN your breakfast menu? As COO today, I’m taking what you already have and twisting it up. I heard some locations have a waffle taco. Cool, but not cool enough. Also, you are TACO BELL. You absolutely must have the best breakfast burrito, and right now, Burger King is kicking your ass with the Southwestern. I might toss the school cafeteria hashbrown for some seasoned potatoes.
–Not sure locations could support it, but serving breakfast all day would put Taco Bell again ahead of other fast food restaurants. Taco Bell seems to jive with young, energetic, offbeat fast food regulars by staying open late. Be different by not punishing customers who like their eggs at 3 PM. Also, for those of you who have been savoring fourth meal since before Taco Bell «invented» it, you know that the ultimate fourth meal involves eggs.
–Ya know your taco meat? That shit would taste good on a breakfast burrito. See also: beans.
–Remember nacho cheese? You have it. Yet it’s not involved in the breakfast menu. Fail.
With the rest of my 24 hours, I would just walk around hugging Taco Bell employees. I’m a fast food connoisseur (just ask my blood pressure), and TB, hands down, has the best employees of any FF joint.
Oh… And with any extra energy I would also revamp their dessert menu. You have waffles now. I see big possibilities. Churros? Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz…

Quite possibly the slowest Taco Bell of all time.
One quesadilla and a taco will take them over 30 min to prepare. Lost and bewildered employees will scratch their heads in confusion as to where half your order went.
Good thing the place is clean inside, though I can’t imagine coming back here after experiencing such atrocious wait times.
