I never, ever have eaten at Taco Bell but for some crazy reason I decided to get a quick drive through meal for two. Awful stuff, chicken tacos, tasteless, tiny and the window server charged me extra for some green salsa which wasn't in the bag when we got to the office! Crummy fast food for $24 I'd rather eat dirt. Gross place on Lockwood, yuck! read more

Good Taco Bell. Been coming here for years and the employees see me at my worst on late nights. I have a personal connection with this one Because I've ran straight to this Taco Bell during the toughest times in my life such as deaths, family issues, heartache etc... the employees don't judge you or care if your stoned or look like shit and I respect them for that. They do what they have to and get you out of there. Good Taco Bell. read more

Good Baja blast it was yummy. Yummy yummy yummy frozen Baja blast yummy yummy yummy yummy yummy yummy yummy yummy.

9:15 pm on a Wednesday night I stopped by to grab a bite to take home. They must have been running out of ingredients and too lazy to replenish their supply. The Nachos BelleGrande consisted mainly of crushed chips, a lot of crumbs. Bean burritos which are my go to at Taco Bell were the size of what you may give to a toddler not an adult. Usually I do not get enough sauce when I just say give me mild sauce. This time I specifically asked for 13 mild sauces. This showed up on the order screen and my receipt. Unfortunately it's not possible to count to 13 at this location, I only got 8. I have visited this location only twice and no more. From other reviews this location is only consistent in giving poor service and poor quality food. Avoid at all costs. read more

Taco Bell - Bean Burrito - Fast Food Near Me - Sarasota, Florida

Tried to order two different times and was told they couldn't make any of the menu items presented on the screen. Everything was down.

What you'd expect from fast food lately.. mediocre as hell. And just thrown together like an ungrateful millennial is running the place.. oh, wait, that is what's happening. Gets two stars cause I could at least eat it, after heating it up. read more

Taco Bell - They literally just throw your food together.. I had sour creme and cheese all over my bag, napkins, and hot sauces.. and it was cold. - Fast Food Near Me - Sarasota, Florida

always great service and amazing food . this is definitely my favorite location and makes me enjoy getting my late night snacks (:

The food is terrible and doesn't deserve not even one star! This certain area is the worst. I had to check one star to even suggest. The food taste precooked and zapped in a high heat oven. I live in this area with the WORST NASTY TACO BELL FOR SIX YEARS.SUPPER NASTY STUFF!! SHEWW WEEEE read more

To the Area Manager or whomever is responsible for restaurant 02452 at 8405 Lockwood Ridge, Reference receipt: #239151 Order Number: 251 I'll preface this with: I am probably wasting my time writing a review. I see all the other terrible reviews. The first thing I think is: "What are they doing to correct all these problems?" The answer is: Nothing. Some supervisor is coming by to check on the store, probably jokes around with the employees, eats a taco while dummying up a report and leaves. My wife gets Taco Salad's on a regular basis from different Taco Bells, so she knows what to expect. Her Salad had almost no chicken in it. We took it back and the employee,(you at Taco Bell can see her name on the receipt, I covered it.) who took our order said there was chicken in it and she could see it. It was shredded. I was ready to get very "stern" with her but thought better of it and we went back to our dirty table. By the way, it wasn't very clean but it was the cleanest available. The others all had bits of food on them. And we were the only customers. Not like it was swamped. After a couple of minutes, I went back up. The manager was there, so I told her what was going on and let her know the employee said there was chicken in it; it was shredded. Well, sure there was a half teaspoon at most of chicken. The manager apologized and offered to add chicken. Well, by then it was to late. We had an appointment to keep, so she ate the lettuce and whatever else it includes besides a lack of the main ingredient. My point is, Someone is responsible for training these employees. Is that how you train them, to say there is chicken in there? And the manager, who was not more than 5 feet away and not wearing a name tag with "Manager" on it should have immediately intervened. Look at all your reviews and the pictures that go with them. Doesn't that tell you something???? The employee is a reflection of the manager's training; the manager is a reflection of his or her supervisor. Everyone is a reflection of TACO BELL! People must be accountable for their action. You need to do a better job of hiring and training. It's pathetic. We have IN and OUT Burger in California where I used to live. The kids there are the same age as the people you hire and always are polite, greet you with a smile when you come in, welcome you. You feel they really care. You should check their reviews. You are probably hiring good people, maybe not, but you will never know their potential without guidance, direction and accountability. The employee is only as good as the training received. If you properly train your employees, you will know who to keep and who needs to find a job more suited to their goals in life. Bottom line, to upper management; Its YOUR fault. The employee we dealt with was obviously under performing. Any employee and the manager who act like that need to review, on a consistent basis the supposedly proper training they were given. If nobody held me accountable when I was young, I'd probably be in big trouble now at 66 years old. I have been to this Taco Bell before and found the doors locked at 7:30 p.m. I went around to the drive through and was told they were out of ingredients. What??? This will probably go in the circular file with the rest. But... be careful your boss may dig it out because you probably don't even empty your garbage can. read more

Taco Bell - TACO BELL DISASTER - Fast Food Near Me - Sarasota, Florida

We've eaten at taco bell on Cortez Rd by our home in Bradenton. Each time they did not follow directions. I won't go back...they are sloppy and apparently don't listen to the customer. read more

You can get fast food anywhere. What I like about this Taco Bell is that they are always friendly no matter when I go. It makes for a better experience. read more

Have gone to this location twice in the past week around 8:30 both times. Both times service was pretty poor. Drive through was unable to serve food and had to go park out front. Both times there were items missing in my order. Food itself was ok for Taco Bell . Hope they can step up the game given the proximity to where I live read more

Exactly what is expected from a Taco Bell, good food, and good service. Also was a good location.

Not one thing was right. Screwed up order. Tried to overcharge. Food was disgusting and cold. Most went into the trash completely disgusted. read more

See all

Ordered a Black Bean Crunchwrap Supreme and i got a beef one... i really wanted to try the new vegetarian menu and give taco bell a chance. And normally I understand mix ups, but i had to repeat my simple order 3 times in the intercom! And they still got it wrong... if your team is going to begin to serve vegetarian food you need to understand the importance of getting it right! read more

If I could give less than one store I would the manager was so rude Mikal or whatever her name was was a rude rude lady the service sucked I will never come back here I will never recommend it to anyone read more

I hardly eat fast food but when I do its taco bell and what a disappointment and waste of calories this was. Food was disgusting, expures and cold. Bathrooms were nasty! Worst taco bell I've ever been to. Avoid at all cost read more

This is the worst Taco Bell I've been to. Do not go there past 11 because they might be out of ingredients or just be closed even though it says they're opened till 2am...just a big plate of disappointment is what you'll get read more

Dumb bitch at the window told my husband and I that we were yelling at her in the drive thru but whispering to her about hot sauce??? The fuck read more

If you're coming here after midnight, it gets a little shady no cap. Saw everybody on smoke break and didn't want to come to the drive thru just to have them angry so I just went so I just went to the McDonald's across the street. read more

Rude rude manager. Do not come here. Wow she needs to learn some serious manners. The clerk at the window was very nice though so I'll give a one star for her. read more

Bruh i stg how hard is it to remember to put sauce in the bag the last five times ive gone they forget sauce. How am i supposed to eat a burrito with no sauce taco bell? Please tell me read more

Corporate needs to take a look at this store. I don't know who is running it but it completely sucks. I ordered 4 crunchy tacos got 2 soft 2 crunchy Tacos Plus I ordered a crunch wrap and I don't know what the hell they gave me. I will never go to the store again. read more

The guy at the window today 5:30pm 2-16-21, offered the best customer service I have ever gotten at a fast food restaurant. Quality service like that is hard to come by these days and he went above and beyond and the food was fresh. I've never written a review before but was inspired after leaving with a smile on my face! read more

Food comes out fine except they expect you to eat your Mexican pizza with your hands as they are sparing with forks. Make sure you have your jacket to wipe your face and the tbell sauce off your shirt as they apparently don't give out napkins unless asked. Forgot our chips. Other than that it tastes good. read more

Awful service. Never has freezes. Last time, they didn't even give me a receipt even after I asked for it. Taco Bell should shut this store down and fire the management. That's the only way to fix how awful of a store this one is. read more

Sunday afternoon, 5:00, no other customers in the restaurant but us, and there was not one clean table. Employees were having a great time. Two were outside talking to a friend until the manager came out to get them. The person at the counter was having a conversation with someone in the back-- yelling. The dining room was so hot sweat was running down my back. On a positive note, the food wasn't bad. read more

Never had an issue with this location until recently. But the last 2 or 3 months it has gone to shit. The drive through, at any time of day, takes far too long. I have sat in this drive through for 30 minutes before when I was only the 4th car in line. If you go at night, be prepared for your tacos to be practically empty and/or cold when you get them. Luckily they've only messed my order up twice, but both times have been in the last week. Today they ran out of cinnamon twists (in the middle of the day!!) and instead of telling me and asking me if I'd like a substitution or just a refund, they decided to substitute for two Cinnabon bites. Two. When I ordered cinnamon twists. Regardless of how comparable they are, that's not what I ordered and I wasn't consulted at all when they weren't able to fulfill my order. They decided for me. Makes me really glad we're moving away from this location soon. read more

I know it's just Taco Bell, but I always come to this one because the staff, no matter how busy, is always cheerful and seem to appreciate you. Even when I'm having a crappy day, I can't help but smile when I'm told to have a "Taco-tastic day" read more

What time does this location close? According to many sources this location closes at 4am. Even if it's 3am, I arrived at 2:30am. After pulling up, a woman answered the drive thru (all lights were on) and then proceeded to send me the automated message telling me they were closed. Corporate needs to at least make sure employees are aware of closing hours. read more

This location almost never opens when they say they do. Their signs on the windows and on google say they open at 7 am. I pass by here almost every morning at 7:15 and the store is completely dark. Sometimes there is someone parked out front and sometimes not but there is no one around to serve you. Disappointing when I am on my way to work and can't depend on going through the drive thru, as it never opened. read more

This is THE slowest taco bell i've ever been to. Slow at all times of the day. And of course, freeze machines have never worked one time i've been here. One star because you have a 70% chance your food will taste okay if you're willing to wait 35 minutes in the drive thru. read more

this is the best taco bell in america. the kindest people work here and the "tacotastic day" is totally true, the employees are so funny and sweet! they are very good at customer service, way elevated from other taco bells and even better than some more upscale fast food/fast casual restaurants! once, my roommate waited for a few minutes for his food (less than 10) and the manager came out with a coupon for a free item for his next visit! for real this taco bell is the best read more

This place used to be the best, but lately it has been horrible. They never get my order right. I ordered a meal with no meat and no sour cream, yet there were both in my food. I went to complain about the meat, and they fixed it quickly, but there was a hair in my new order. It was disgusting and frustrating. I will never be back. read more

The food at Taco Bell just keeps getting worse. I refuse to set foot in another Taco Bell when I can go to an authentic Mexican restaurant and get a good to great meal for the same price. This goes for them corporate wide. The last 3 I have been to were terrible. I am done with this chain. read more
