Got a late night craving for Taco Bell, drove across town to the only one open until 12 in Escondido... got there about 10 minutes before closing and was just ignored in the drive thru. I totally understand that coming to get food 10 mins before close is not ideal (I miss the days of late, late night Taco Bell!), but if you're not gonna serve customers, you might as well change the hours accordingly as to not waste anyone's time. This was my first trip to this location and it's bummer it'll be my last! read more

Haven't been 2 a Taco Bell in decades. Popped into this one 4 a kwik bite. Place wuz very clean, staff wuz genuinely polite, and as expected, the food was served up fast. Got their most simple item off the $1 menu. A bean & cheese burrito. Expected it 2 be mediocre @ best. Happy 2 report that it wuz quite tasty & well dun. Bathroom wuz clean too. May have 2 become a regular again. read more

Was there the 24th of April. Ordered two tacos and a quesadilla. Almost $7. Asked girl if all in bag, she said yes, three items. Well, got home, one taco missing. Contacted corporate...no response. Avoid this store. They are thief's. read more

This location sports an upgraded look and quite refreshing in the 'hood. It's amazing that they can have your order pretty much ready by the time your done paying for your food. Just love the Mango Strawberry Freeze drink. It's AWESOME! They put real strawberries, and it's just smacking fresh for a warm afternoon! read more

Taco Bell - Fast Food Near Me - Escondido, California

See all

My roommates and I come here way toooo often and have become regulars with the AMAZING April that works there! She is always in a good mood and knows our order even through the drive through! Haha just wanted to give her a shout out for being AMAZING and always making us smile when we come through. Thanks for taking great care of us April! The 3 girls who modify the hell out of our burritos hahaha read more

It's not often what is served in fast food restaurants look like the delicious food seen in marketing pitures but the 3 taco supremes I unwrapped looked like a picture. Good staff. I'll be back. read more

Blech ugh the worlds worst place. I don't even miss it, I'm never coming back I mean there is cool service at this place. Yeah no kidding but.. you gave me onions and I HATE onions! I don't see why other people like Taco Bell probably because they have different taste buds than I do or something like that. read more

I came in here while working in the area. Full of kids because of a charter school right next door. Place was filthy. As a plumber I wanted to use the restroom and wash my hands before ordering and eating. I asked the worker behind the counter if I can use the restroom first. I was told it's for customers only. I intended on ordering but it was an emergency so i ask him if he was serious. His reply was YES IM FUCKING SERIOUS. Completely unprofessional. I walked out. If that's the caliber of employee taco bell is hiring I think I will refrain. If you are in the area avoid this cesspool. I may even avoid taco bell altogether. read more

This is the slowest moving drive through I've ever been in. I feel physically ill. If you want Taco Bell in Escondido I recommend the one on Escondido blvd. read more

Hands down best experience time after time at this Taco Bell. April J is the nicest, on top of it employee that this establishment has. I really hope that April is a manager because she truly deserves this. April works the drive thru window and she is spectacular. She always gets my order right, every time. The few brief moments I have with her while I pay, she always says it's nice to see me and asks me about my day. This is the best service I have ever received from a fast food restaurant that I frequent. I come to this location because of her memorable attitude. She always has a smile on her face and she seems to generally enjoy her job! I've had other interactions with a few other employees, but none of them compare to April. I wouldn't let her go if I were you! If you need anyone to train on customer service, it should be April. She meets and very much exceeds expectations of the customer! I wish I could give a higher rating for her work! I hope this gets passed on to April's superiors as she deserves proper praise for her outstanding work ethic. Thanks April! See you soon! I frequent this Taco Bell often since the service is so great! Daniel is an awesome employee! He takes care of me every time and he's always so polite! He always gives me my receipt before I have to ask for one! Always service with a smile with Daniel(: I look forward to coming because of how awesome the people are. Thanks so much! See you soon. read more

Service is usually pretty good. One thing that is it is usually a 50 - 50 shot if our tacos will be cold, which is really frustrating. Another is when asked what sauce we want and how much they never give us enough. For example today we asked for 8-10 fire packets and we get home to see that there was only 4!! Why ask how many we want if you're never going to give us that many anyway. Other than that the employees there are very professional and when we could eat inside the seating area was kept super clean. read more

Tried placing an online order for the first time and ended up waiting 45mins for my food. I got to the store 15mins after the order was placed. They said my order isn't in the screen. Turns out their online system sucks and their order receipt doesn't show the "name" you enter online for pick up but the "card name" you use. So because of that, I ended up waiting an extra 30 mins for no reason. Left pissed... never again. What a WASTE of time. read more

Let's face it.... 99% of Taco Bell's are the same as far as quality. I base my Taco Bell experience purely off the hot sauce distribution. These folks know how to handle a handful of packets. When I get home and dump out that bag and find 30+ packets of that sweet nectar, I'm a happy boy... read more

Long story short from tonight's visit ....Hubby and dad went to get food for the family tonight. The guy takin the order didn't know what a "GREEN BURRITO" was after telling him repeatedly. Forgot my supreme burrito in the bag making hubby do another round trip to complain and pick it up. Mom orders the taco salad and they forgot to put on tomatoes, cheese, and very little meat. Also the taco shell looks much smaller like Taco Bell is scamming people from little food with higher prices. This isn't the only time that this place has fcked up. Our word to the manager...make sure your people speak English, know what your menu items are, don't fck up people's order, etc. In other words...GET YO SHT STRAIGHT AND IDIOTIC EMPLOYEES TRAINED! You just lost an entire families worth of customers now for your royal fck up! Peace out fckers!!! read more

So last night I went to the Taco Bell late night into the drive-through and the young lady was superb lighter skin lady she told me her name but I forgot it she has the best customer service and I was so so so so happy she made my experience a great one just by being polite and kind and considerate where are the rest of the cashiers like her she deserves a raise thank you young lady have a great night you guys outdid yourselves with her read more

So extra sauce is 3 whole packets in total??!! Come on, girl at the drive thru window, your job is not that hard! The lid on my large drink is so flimsy that it doesn't fit tight, and it spilled! read more

The business us still good but the quesarito just doesn't hold up... I have tried it 3 times and taco bell needs to take it back to the recipe kitchen... It definetly never looks like the picture and they shouldn't use cheese sauce for the quesadilla.. Cheddar please! It looks beautiful on the outside but just doesn't taste good.. Back to the drawing board read more

Who writes a review for Taco Bell, thereby admitting they eat there? I guess I do. Anyway, this Taco Bell has the friendliest service of any fast food restaurant ever. I asked for a water cup to go with my possibly carcinogenic but delicious burritos and the person working the drive asked me if I wanted soda instead (I hope this doesn't get them in trouble). I'll gladly go back. Again. And probably again and again. Mmmmm, Taco Bell. PS Bring back that lava sauce stuff. read more

The staff here are on the money. Very customer oriented, happy, smiling, and this inviting personality makes for a great dining experience you can't find in most places. My 10yr old daughter wanted a big box but when ordering asked for the crunchy burito (mistake) when all she got was the burito we went up to the counter and told them what happened. The staff quickly gave my daughter a whole new box for free even though we wanted to pay for it. Thank you to all the awesome and hard working staff at Taco Bell on Valley Prk Way in Escondido. KEEP UP YOUR AWSOMENESS... read more

This place is too legit to quit. It my go to Taco Bell. The staff is great. Anytime I go they always get the order down right, which is pretty good because I usually order for my whole family. They always hook you up with the sauce. If you tell them you want all the sauces, you will get all the sauces. They aren't stingy with the ingredients either. They will fill your nachos, tacos, chalupas, whatever, with all that delicious meat. Also if you order something meatless they will remember. I have family members who are vegetarians and they never mess it up. I highly recommend this location whenever you are craving that Americanized Mexican goodness! read more

It's a give us your money and get tf out type of place. I ordered 6 mini shredded chicken quesadillas with 3 sides of chipotle sauce, two sides of sour cream and lots of mild sauce around 10:30 p.m. on August 12th 2019. The total was $18. And guess what. They didn't even give me their overpriced sauce that I PAID for. I was f*cking ROBBED. I didn't even get the mild sauce which is supposed to be free! Way to rub salt in the wound! What was the incentive for that move? Now I'm stuck with 6 dry a** quesadillas. When I calmly and politely complained they refused to rectify the situation. I suggest that absolutely everyone involved in the situation should be FIRED and forced to provide free labor around my home such as carrying me from room to room, cooking for me, finding the remote, cleaning and fixing broken items...or...you know... JUST GIVE ME BACK MY F*CKING MONEY YOU GREEDY F*CKING @SSHOLES! read more

Service was slow, but their tacos had a nicer presentation. They were filled to the top loaded with more sour cream and veggies than normal. Inside the restaurant was pretty clean and they had a larger fountain drink selection. read more

I really like it cause it actully have a lot of good task but del taco it's alright but taco bel is way to yummy for my tummy!

Rude as hell. Forgets stuff in your order and acts like it's your fault. Every single time I come. The day manager, the mexican lady doesn't know how to do her job. She said it's not her problem they didn't give me my food, I wouldn't recommend this place. Trash place. read more

Every taco bell ive been to, they give a HANDFUL of sauces. But at this taco bell, the woman only gave us a few sauces. We asked for more and she literally gave like 2 more lol, also there was no fork or spoon in the bag. If someones ordering at the drive thru, its your job to make sure they have all the things in their bag before they drive off.Giving this place two stars because the food was good, no stars for the woman who gave us our food. read more

Leo was my cashier and he was enthusiastic and in such a happy mood. A really great guy for greeting people. My friends and I took a while to decide but he was very patient and careful making sure our order was correct and then we got to the window and towards the end of the purchase he mentioned donating to help scholars and I did $3. Apparently every dollar you donate you receive some kind of taco in return in another visit. But Leo has excellent customer service! Definitely the kind of guy that deserves a raise. Looking forward to seeing him again! read more

Doesn't give military discount. Drinks are a cup of ice with barely any soda. Bathroom was disgusting

I drove through tonight (12/22/19). I ordered a taco box and 2 Enchiritos. They tried to charge me over 30.00. When I called them out on it at the window the manager gave me two dollars back. So after tax my 12.00 taco box and two enchiritos still came out to over 30.00. The manager didn't do anything about it past the 2.00. When I got home the tacos were cold and the shells on the hard tacos were stale. This is the worst experiance at this or any taco bell that I have had. read more

When you wait forever in the drive through for them to forget half your order and then make you pay the difference when it was their mistake and then to have attitude about it. Suck it up you messed up. Make it up to me? Then people won't leave mad and never want to go to your location again! read more

It's Taco Bell. Service ppl are great. Here's the problem. I've had Tb all over the country. Most times it's a good deal however if i'm going to pay 7 bucks for 2 buritto supremes they could have a lot more in them. Everywhere but in Cali they fill me up. These? Just a snack. I will go elsewhere in the future read more

So painfully slow. Not only did it take forever to get my 'fast food', but the customer in front of me asked about every ingredient in every possible item then deliberated for two minutes per order... Which is not the poor employees fault, but maybe a training on how to hurry and assist slow orders is necessary. No one eats fast food because it is so delicious or valuable... It's supposed to be convenient and... FAST. read more

DISGUSTING!!!! I will never eat here ever again!! COLD AND SOGGY!! I have eaten at many other locations but AVOID this place at all costs... NEVER EVER AGAIN!! read more

I went in today with my grand kids and the service was great! We got our food on three different trays because it came at three different times so the lady threw in an extra fiesta potatoes! Honestly it was only about a minute between trays but she went the extra mile to show she appreciates my business. She also now has me wanting more fiesta potatoes Good job Taco Bell!! read more

Been to this Taco Bell a couple of times at late night. Although the service is slow, I do take into consideration that only one employee is actually working at this time, and there is a long line at the Drive Thru. The lone employee was working her tail off and obviously looked overworked, although she did try her very best to present customer service. read more

This is one of the best Taco Bell locations that I've ever eaten at. It is far above average in cleanliness, speed, accuracy, and customer service. I eat here a few times a week and every item that I order is custom. Sabrina, the front counter gal, remembers me by name and can accurately remember my order without hesitation. Her and Danielle go out of their way to make sure the eat-in experience is superior to other similar restaurants in the area. Fantastic customer service! The food is always hot and fresh, rarely do I have any issues. I used to work at a Taco Bell and I would recommend anyone coming to eat here. If you want a throwback, get a chalupa minus the sour cream and tomato / substitute spicy ranch sauce and pico de gallo. Thats the classic BAJA chalupa! read more

Not real Mexican food but taste pretty darn good. Service is good and I recommend the Doritos locos tacos nacho cheese shell taco. It's a lot to say but the price is worth it! read more

Food was regular , but the customer service I received made me sleepy if that makes sense. It was obvious she didn't want to be there.

They forgot to put my other order in the bag and I had to drive back. I wanted to order something else and got it for free! Good save #nothingbetterthanfreefood read more

Who bothers to write a review about Taco Bell? Well, when the customer service is as good as it was tonight, I definitely do! William was both the cashier and "busser," in which he was extremely kind and courteous and had a smile on his face the whole time. He treated his job as if he were working at a high end restaurant and took great pride in his work. Thank you William for being you! read more

I love this Taco Bell! All of the employees are so nice, it is kind of mind blowing. I am never disappointed when I come here :)
