Taco Bell

I've been driving by this location so many times that I finally made the effort to stop in and try…read moreit out. I decided to order one of their 99¢ fish tacos and an order of fish and chips. The fish taco was satisfying and delicious. Paired with the fish and chips, it was a great and affordable lunch. The fish was crisp and flaky and they provided a mountain of fries to go with it. They inciuded all the fixings to go with the fish. Plenty of tartar and cocktail sauce and limes. I was impressed with this place The service was outstanding as well. Friendly and efficient. Next time I visit, I'll have to try one of their margaritas.

Don't believe reviews from 20 year olds about tacos on TikTok…read more Yes this place is cheaper than any Taco store in SD. Most of the tacos are $2.85. Some 1.25 but the quality is I mean cheap is cheap, and I was willing to give it a shot to prove me wrong. Also, when you order chips and salsa, there is no real salsa they give so you are just paying extra for chips. They give you free sauce anyway but it's hot sauce not salsa even if you ask them the cashier person doesn't understand this. And the chips are not good either!!! One more thing the elote in a couple was corn from a can with heavy mayonnaise I added my own lime and spice to make it better.

Inside was very attractive.

I don't think I've ever gotten out the fork to eat the lettuce and tomatoes that had fallen from a taco before. But I did this time! You may ask, "Do they make their own horchata though?" I'd have to reply, "YES!" Prices super reasonable too, and you can order per taco if you want. Just a fantastic taco experience

Cool, sports-oriented bar!

The menu includes most typical Mexican options including tacos, burritos, plates, tostada, and quesadillas. The prices are typical for most Mexican restaurants around $12-25 per entree. The food took a little longer but I appreciated the food was fresh and hot. The portions were generous, the food was delicious, and I liked how they used double tortilla so the taco didn't fall apart. Their hot sauces were really good too. Only thing is a lot of their specialty menu is on a white board that is weathered, half erased, and hard to read. Please refresh the board and rewrite the items so it's more legible.

I've been eyeing Jalepenos for a while and decided to finally try it tonight…read more It's bigger inside than I thought from seeing it from the parking lot of the shopping center. It's got a fun San Diego surfboard vibe mixed with sports jerseys and pictures on the wall which makes it a fun place to go with friends. I actually think it might be a better place to dine in then take out since it feels so clean and fun and surprisingly roomy inside as well. However I was a bit disappointed by the food. I was definitely underwhelmed by my California burrito - it was a little undercooked for my preference - no melted cheese on the inside and the tortilla seemed like it was just taken out of a bag and slapped on and it was actually a little tough to chew. The French fries didn't taste that good to me either and I felt as if I'd be better going across the lot to McDonalds and ordering a few fries to add in there. I was a little surprised the burrito wasn't cooked more because my to go order took a little bit longer than I expected to get to me and there wasn't that many people inside the restaurant so I thought at least it would be really hot and ready but I was a bit bummed by the overall taste when I bit in due to the way it was cooked and just overall taste. I still really like the vibe of this place but I thought the food was just okay.

My other favorite is the chicken enchiladas. It's a verde type sauce and had the right amount of cheese in it. It's a creamy bite every mouthful. The beans that come with it taste amazing. You know some places it's just beans nothing big but theirs are really good with the rice that comes with it. The salsa bar is really good as well. I love the different flavors of the sauces.

My recent visit to Taco Bell exceeded expectations, earning it a solid four stars. What stood out the most was the exceptional speed of service. From ordering to receiving my meal, the process was impressively swift. The streamlined efficiency didn't compromise the quality of the food. My Crunchwrap Supreme and cheesy gordita crunch were freshly prepared, showcasing Taco Bell's commitment to delivering a satisfying fast-food experience without sacrificing taste. The staff's attentiveness and speed were notable, making the visit enjoyable and efficient. The restaurant maintained a clean and well-organized environment, adding to the positive experience. Taco Bell's ability to provide a quick and tasty meal earns it high marks. If you're in the mood for a fast and satisfying bite, this is the place to be. Four stars for prompt service and delicious eats! read more

Every time I've gone here, they have gotten my order wrong. Even if I repeat it. Today I decided to go back through the drive thru after my order was wrong. I have never been so mistreated in my life. I had to talk to the manager (big Hoss) for some reason. He told me that the Double Decker was the Nacho Gordita I ordered. IT WAS NOT! He tried to make me feel stupid and he tried to make me pay for their mistake. Even though the Nacho Gordita was on my receipt. Then I only got cheese when I ordered a side of nachos. Why would I only want cheese? And they charged me for both. The manager is a fat prick. I bet he got bullied a lot in high school. He was on a complete power trip. Um loser, you're the manager of a crappy Taco Bell, sit your ass down. The worst part is that he made a racial slur while I was rolling up my window. This Taco Bell sucks! read more

It's taco bell. You obviously know what kind of food it is before you go there. Based on that I think it's good junk food, they have a huge selection and it is all super cheap. If you order 5 things you may have leftovers. They have a ton of hot sauces and as cheesy as the sayings are on them, I still read every single one. I tried the new burrito with the hot fritos in it and I have to say it was actualy good. It had a little kick to it and after drenching it in hot sauce it was even better. They also have a pretty good soda selection. Always fast and friendly and open late. If I am craving junk food that might kill me in the long run I will come here. read more

Taco Bell is my absolute go-to when I'm craving something quick, cheap, and seriously satisfying. I loveeeee how you can mix and match everything -- tacos, burritos, nachos -- and somehow it all just hits every time. The Crunchwrap Supreme is always a win, and the cheesy, saucy, late-night vibe of the whole menu just never disappoints. It's fast, consistent, and perfect when you want comfort food without overthinking it. Honestly, Taco Bell just always comes through. read more

I really like their bean and cheese burritos here. I know its not the most extravagant item they have but it is a tried and true classic and its what I always get although sometimes I just get a regular taco. Sometimes the lines can be long at lunch time but I then go through the drive thru. Parking is ok and it is personally very close to where I work which is great. If you want quick cheap food taco bell is the place. read more

Came the other night. They were not closing for 20 minutes but when I went through the drive through they refused to serve me. I was hungry, and needed some late night burritos.

I usually don't eat here, but I come here every now and then when I am on a busy schedule. The food is the average fast food place, it's not high quality and it is cheaply made. The amount of money you pay for the food is a good price however! You can get a burrito box for about $5 and that fills you up ! I don't recommend eating here as the food is not healthy though.. read more
