My friend and I came here on the first day of their liquor license to get the spiked freezie with 2 free tacos deal. It was packed with people coming with the same idea. The service we experienced exceeded my expectations greatly. After ordering our freezies, we accidentally dropped one on the ground which was entirely our fault. Afterwords, someone who looked like a manager came out to tell us it was alright and to clean up the mess. Another person who looked like a manager came out to give us another freezie for free and even two more free tacos. Even though we felt bad about the accident, they ensured us it was not a big deal. I would definitely come again. read more

wouldn't tell me estimated wait time before ordering and wouldn't let me cancel once i found out. 1 hour wait for one crunchwrap. insane

Great service, solid food, good crowd. Busy a lot but the service is quick. Tracy is great at the counter!

Taco bell has a reputation for poor food. Sadly this location ke ps the reputation going. Service was friendly and polite. And this is the best looking Taco bell I been in it was ok. read more

This place is the worst. Takes about 15 minutes per order...highly recommend not visiting this "fast food" establishment. Zero stars read more

What the fuck. I ordered a damn cantina chicken quesadilla and proceeded to recieve a hard and soft taco. What the fuck. Horrible service, horrible atmosphere. how can one man get two fucied up orders in one god damn day. what the fuck. read more

Terrible quality. No sauces, no lids. Worst Taco Bell I've been to. UW MADISON a joke fr

Great food and service! Visited here for the first time with a group of work colleagues- enjoyed the food, service, and authentic environment. read more

I like that girls these days don't have that Taco Smell that they used to. A lot more hygienic, and there are even places like the Pretty Kitty going to town on, well, people's kitties. You can put crap food in a wrap, in a panini, but you Can'tina taco. And yet they do anyway. Ew. This is located on State Street in the heart of Madison Wisconsin and there are so many cool and trendy and interesting and even ethnic College places around here to eat that if you end up eating at Taco Bell then I don't know what to say except I feel sorry for you. He says after eating here (I was dragged here by a pretty girl I was with, okay? Same girl that is responsible for every awful Taco Bell trip in the last few years of my life okay? So settle down). Service is okay at this location but the food will make you run straight to the bathroom explode and it's not Mexican food at all although you can't really find that much good Mexican food in this part of Wisconsin anyway but that's no excuse to come eating here. read more

Taco Bell Cantina - I can't ina with you - Fast Food Near Me - Madison, Wisconsin

I've come het multiple times after 12 am when they're supposed to be open until 1 am and the door was locked. Lazy work EDIT We came again 30 MINUTES before they closed and the lady said we had to hurry up and take our food to go because she's closing the restaurant. Honestly if you don't wanna keep your restaurant open just don't work there read more

Service is decent, but if you are there during any busy hours (no fault to the staff) you are waiting a 30-40 min minimum. It honestly just depended on when you go. read more

I arrived early morning to Madison, Wisconsin and was hungry. My husband and I decided to visit the area around the University of Wisconsin. Imaging my surprise when I found a Taco Bell Cantina open. We went in for coffee and breakfast and I had to ask what was a Taco Bell Cantina? I was told it was one of 8 in the United States and they are able to cell beer and wine. They had the usual menu with the added bonus of spirits and televisions. I felt like I was in a restaurant when the server brought breakfast to the table. I was thrown for a loop when I was asked how do I like my coffee. It arrived with flavored cream and sugar. I sat there in amazement eating while watching several TVs. When can we get one of these in San Diego! read more

I want to LOVE this Taco Bell because it's so pretty, but everything else really falls flat. Can you still get (VERY) affordable cheap Mexican food that actually tastes decent? Yes. Is it reliable that you'll get the food you ordered in 10 minutes or less? Hardly. I've been twice now: once for dinner on a weeknight and once for breakfast on a weekend. When I went for dinner, the cashier had trouble understanding what I wanted, even though I was trying to order off their vegan menu that's posted online. When my food finally came out (20+ minutes later), it was missing a burrito, so I told them, and they brought that out 10 minutes after that. They did give me free cinnamon twists for the trouble since it had gone so poorly. Recently, I stopped for breakfast and again had trouble ordering items that were on the menu online. The order came out correct this time, but again took about 20 minutes. I don't go to Taco Bell very often, but it's much quicker than that at ALL other locations. I half wonder if the fact that they don't have a drive-thru actually slows them down. Like other reviews mention, it was also not busy when I was there. The nice part? The restaurant is REALLY nice and clean, brand new. There are tons of TVs on the wall and it's in a very convenient location. My fingers are crossed that they get their alcohol license approved! It's a bit disappointing that a progressive town like Madison wouldn't want a one-of-a-kind Taco Bell in it. read more

Taco Bell Cantina - Fast Food Near Me - Madison, Wisconsin

This Taco Bell is probably the nicest looking Taco Bell I have ever been to. It was supposed to be one of the cantinas, but they didn't have a liquor license when I went, so at the time they were just like any other Taco Bell. Lots of seating, TVs along the wall, and very friendly staff made the experience better than most branches. The food was about the same as what you would get anywhere else, but it was a much nicer eating experience. read more

See all

It's a Taco Bell. It is exactly what you expect to get, which is mediocre fast food tacos. The only upside specific to this location is that it is fairly nice and modern on the inside Also, it was clean and the staff was friendly enough. I obviously only recommend coming here if you work or go to school in the area and you're looking for a lunch that's filling and costs less than $10. read more

Yummy Taco Bell know how to cut quesadilla correctly. I am genius Taco Bell connoisseur. Best in Madison yum yum

Been here a few times and the service was horrible every time. Most recently, a female TB employee refused to fix my order after someone else took mine and she refused to provide a refund. Complaints to taco bell corporate were a waste. I never heard back. I won't be going back to this location. Find another taco bell. I wound up going to my credit card company to remove the charge. read more

Awesome service. Got accidentally overcharged, I didn't realize and the man behind the counter refunded me for the items, gave me 2 free coupons as well as letting me keep the extra items! read more

I absolutely love this Taco Bell and I can't recommend it enough. They are super friendly and 90% of the time the food is served really fast--with an exception for late-night weekend times when they often get overwhelmed with drunk patrons. Nevertheless, I've been here many times both sober and drunk and they've haven't messed up my order once. I picked up a mobile order here a few days ago and I couldn't believe the attention to detail the manager was taking to ask each customer waiting for their name to update them on the status of their order and make sure no one was waiting too long. Also, the Cheesy Gordita Crunch I got with that order may have been the best one I've ever had from any Taco Bell location. I haven't had a chance to try their alcoholic drinks (which makes them a cantina instead of a normal Taco Bell) but I imagine they're delicious. Don't be afraid to come here for your next Taco Bell craving!! read more

To say that I was excited when I found out there was going to be a Taco Bell within walking distance of my apartment might be an understatement. Now that this Taco Bell Cantina is finally open and I walk by it every single day on my way to and from campus, I have to restrain myself and have consciously limited my Taco Bell intake to just once a week. But I make an exception for the spicy potato tacos. I mean they're only a dollar and vegetarian and even vegan if I get it fresco style (get it fresco style! they replace the cheese with pico and you get to feel a little bit better about stuffing your face with carbs) so they can't be that bad for me right? This Taco Bell is clean, the employees are generally friendly, the food comes out fast, and they've got a bajillion TVs. The food is just as good as any other Taco Bell I've been to. They didn't end up getting their a liquor license so it's basically just a fancier Taco Bell but honestly I'd eat Taco Bell sober any time. Especially those spicy potato tacos. read more

I just ordered from here, no meat in my crunch wrap supreme whatsoever that is....bogus

Terrence is my guy! Always working hard and open for friendly conversations. This man is America's treasure.

Likes: Food, as always at Taco Bell, and cleanliness Dislikes: Slow service (the workers were nice, but they needed an extra cashier and cook [the wait was 20 minutes]) and needed a bathroom key to use it (although I understand why.) read more

They forgot about an order? Idk how you do that with those stupid knockoff iPads hooked up to your system...

I know it's a fast food restaurant and all but geez I have never been to anywhere with less disinterested employees. It's like a huge burden on them just to take your order. read more

Food is good and it's a clean place but the employees are trash!!! No customer service. Employees act like that they don't want to be here. I have constantly correct him on my order and STILL GOT IT WRONG, talk about no listening skills. Employees are such trash that I didn't even want to ask to fix my order. read more

Nothing wring w food or timelines but DAMN the woman working in the back rushing me to pick up my food while IM STILL PAYING was rude. Raised her voice at me numerous times like damn... makes me not want to return. read more

It took so long to get our food. Why is there only one person working at the cashier? This is ridiculous and I am really upset by this establishment. #BRINGBACKWENDYS read more

If I could give no stars I would. My friend ordered a simple shell-less taco and not ONLY did they not deliver the simplest order, they were really friggin rude to her. She walked back up to establishment to dispute her order, and they stated they were closed.. after much debate, they let her into the restaurant and she was able to obtain the correct order. But then didn't give her utensils. Worst customer service ever. Shut it down. read more

Best food in the world! Food was great and the dollar menu is a steal! The service was excellent and food was cooked to perfection. The tacos reminded me of my time in Mexico with my friend Jose Cuervo and senorita empanada. read more

super good service very polite workers and food came super fast highly recommend this establishment it's very clean read more

Taco Bell Cantina - we got the Mountain Dew Baja Blast and Beef Burrito - Fast Food Near Me - Madison, Wisconsin

Like many reviews prior, my experience with this Taco Bell was pretty terrible. The customer service was fine, but everything else about the experience was subpar. The delivery was delayed and inaccurate. The food itself was incorrect as was the quantity. I got a pretty hefty order in order to feed a number of guests only to have that plan go to waste, given that I was not given the right number of items. Ultimately, I am very disappointed. read more

Constantly filled with homeless people just waiting to hassle you for money and food. Management does nothing about it..

Took 15 minutes to get my food at a fast food restaurant that was a quarter full. I've gotten faster food at high-end farm to table restaurants. read more

So... we go to Taco Bell at precisely 1:13 am, the website says they close at 2 am. We make the rigorous trek there and they deny us. 1:13 and they close at 2! Does this add up. No. Please either update your hours or stay consistent. So inconvenient. Luckily we stumbled upon a taco truck nearby but if it weren't for that we may have been left starving. Do better next time please. Thanks. read more

This place was great. The staff had my food out in around 5 mins and were polite throughout the process. I'd also like to raise a special mention to Dawn, an employee of this location. She was a very helpful and kind lady, and provided the service that I seldom see in this day and age. read more

UPDATE: 5/8 this Taco Bell continues to be comically bad. Here's a brief dialogue between me and the befuddled cashier this morning. Me: I'd like a bacon crunch wrap please Cashier: ok so uhhhhhhh... sausage crunch wrap? Me: No, bacon please. Cashier: ok....bacon... Me: *goes over to wait at food pickup counter* Cashier: Wait, you said sausage right? Me: No, bacon. Cashier: ok yeah bacon. Can you guess what I unwrapped when I finally got my food and brought it to work? Ding ding ding! One poorly wrapped sausage crunch wrap. These guys have reached a new level of incompetence, it almost scares me. I miss Wendy's. read more

I have been here for the past three nights at around 1:20 and they have said they're closed when online and their sign says they close at 2. Jokes on them are qdobas line is packed ‍ ? read more

it is an absolute disgrace to have anything on campus especially a taco bell that closes at 11 pm. one time taco bell gave me the most violent food poisoning of my life and i have still never been more disappointed in them than i am to learn that they close that disgustingly early. might as well just close down permanently with those hours. read more

ordered food online (big mistake) the official taco bell website said they open at 6am, I got there at 10:39am and the doors were locked. I had to go back 20 minutes later to claim my food and the cashier ignored me for 2 minutes while he had a conversation with another cook. i finally got my food and it was cold. hands down the shittiest fast food place. read more
