It wasn't too crowded when we arrived and we were seated fairly quickly. The menus on the table are paper and specials are on the board. My husband and I both decided to try fajitas which were on the Tex-Mex menu. I ordered the steak fajitas and he ordered the chicken fajitas. These were some of the best fajitas I have had in my life! I don't know what they use for marinade, but I would love to have bottles of it in my cupboard! The green sauce they give you with the fajitas is amazing! The black beans are some of the best black beans I have had out anywhere! If I had any complaints it would be that you need just one more tortilla. Three is just one short of enough. I really wish this place was close to home, but it's probably good that it's not. The next time I come I definitely want to try some of the real Mexican dishes on the menu. We were told that we cook was from Mexico City, so we were not surprised that the food was so good. I definitely would recommend trying this place out as soon as you can! Great food here. The drinks looked really good to. We ordered the chips and salsa also. The chips were a little on the thick side but definitely fresh and still hot and the salsa was good too. For dessert we shared some flan. It was a little under done in the center but it was still very good. Can't wait to come back!

Their fresh chips were cooked perfectly and seasoned just right. Mexican pizza with chorizo and jalapeños - it was good but I couldn't get my brother to try it. His wife didn't care much for it. This was a better choice than the carne asada tacos I ordered for the meal and was substantially more food. Carne asada tacos - I really wished these were better, but the asada was lacking much needed flavor. On top of it being disappointingly bland, it was also extremely dry with the 2 tortillas per taco. My brother had some delicious sauce with his burrito that spruced up the dryness and flavor. I would not recommend this. The margaritas - my bro had the mango margarita - it was very sweet. His wife and I both had a taramind marg and it was pretty good. She also tried the cinnamon marg but it was way too sweet - as I anticipated - and we left it mostly untouched. The cool thing about their margs is that they serve it in individualized shakers to fill up the glass when it gets low.

I ordered the special birria tacos, but became a bit concerned when they asked if I wanted cilantro and onion on them. Is it even a taco without cilantro and onion?

If you're looking for something reasonably priced with fairly quick service, then this is the place for you. However, there's certainly better tacos in the region.

I'm actually shocked to hear any review saying anything negative about the workers here. This Taco Bell is like my go to fast food joint, tacos are not even my favorite fast food but going here I don't have to worry about anything. Any time I go to this place the person at the window is amazingly kind which makes all the difference. In all the times I've gone here they have only messed up twice in like a 3 year period, once by giving me the wrong taco but when I got home I called and they told me any time I go there that I could get another from them and it worked out fine. Another time, on one of those chicken flat bread things they were supposed to not use hot sauce and someone forgot but I brought it right back with no issues. The people here are so nice that mistakes are easily forgiven but again, that's only happened 2 times in 3 years. Who ever decides the person who is at the window must put a lot of thought into it cause that guy is perfect! read more

the food is OK for Taco Bell but too many times I saw employees (with or without gloves is irrelevant) touching misc things such as: pens, registers, MONEY, doors, cups, THEMSELVES, dirty dishes, and bags of food. They didnt even have the HEALTH CONCERN to wash their hands after doing these things. The customer service leaves ALOT to be desired tho. The Taco Bell in New London is wwaaaaaayyy better! read more

Usually it's a disappointment, at least to me. This is the hot sauce they call the "Suicide Habanero Salsa" and it definitely made me sweat, but in a good way, if you like that kind of stuff.
