Frequently criticized
- foodMy experience at this Taco Bell location has been consistently negative. My order is always wrong, and the food is frequently undercooked. While I generally like Taco Bell, this particular location is awful.
- Baja blastIf you ask for Baja blast, they’ll give you Diet Coke
- beans and onionsit just beans and onions
- burritosrealized there was chicken. Had to spit it out
- cheese quesadillasreceived 2 chicken quesadillas and I am vegetarian so I cannot even have these
- chickenBy the end, I was still hungry and ordered two more pieces of chicken. Unfortunately, the chicken was so watery I forgot I was eating chicken. The Famous Bowl should be renamed the 'Mashed Bowl' as it had hardly any chicken, and the pieces that were there were so crispy I couldn't enjoy them.
- chicken piecesthe pieces they had were so crispy I couldn’t enjoy it
- chicken quesadillaAccidentally got a chicken quesadilla instead of cheese
- chicken quesadillasreceived 2 chicken quesadillas and I am vegetarian so I cannot even have these
- crunch wrapordered a crunch wrap without making any alterations and for some reason they left out all of the meat
If youre considering dining here, be aware that while some have enjoyed the food, theres a significant chance of disappointment due to inconsistent quality and incorrect orders. It might be worth a try if youre feeling lucky, but dont go in with high expectations for a consistently great meal.
Service (3.5 out of 10)

Many appreciated the friendly staff and attentive service, with shout-outs to specific individuals like manager Paulette and Kevin for their helpfulness. There were even comments about food being ready fast sometimes, showing that when things go right, they really shine.
However, the service experience generally struggles, reflected in a low 3.5 score and a disappointing 25.5% customer satisfaction.

- customer serviceA female staff member said, "Be safe out there" as I grabbed my food. While I'm not sure if she genuinely cared about my safety, her saying it made this place have better quality in customer service than others. I would have given it a 5-star rating if they had a drive-thru.
- employeesemployees are very nice
Frequently criticized
- managerI always tried to be understanding towards the manager, but no one should ever go here again. She should not explode at good customers who try to get someone's attention after waiting for many minutes with no one taking food orders. The service was terrible, with a manager who was unprofessional and rude.
- managementthe management at this location is TERRIBLE
- serviceMy experience at this restaurant was marked by incompetent staff and incredibly slow service. The staff seemed more concerned with helping DoorDash customers skip the line than serving their actual customers who came in.
- customer serviceBad customer service they dont know how to treat the client
- employeesHowever, over the last 3-4 years, it continues to blow my mind that the "manager" is still employed here. If she's not talking down to customers, she's barking at other employees condescendingly. It's Taco Bell, and you get what you're buying into, but even being in that building while she's working is incredibly uncomfortable.
- waiting timeI always tried to be understanding towards the manager, but no one should ever go here again.

If service is a top priority for you, this place might be a gamble. While you could get lucky with a friendly face and quick order, be prepared for potential long waits, order mix-ups, and less-than-stellar staff interactions. You might want to consider other options if consistent, excellent service is what you're after.
Ambience (5 out of 10)
mentioned by 29% of the guests
Let's talk about the vibe! While the overall customer satisfaction for ambience sits at a rather poor 39.1%, there are some glimmers of hope. Out of 23 total opinions, 9 positive remarks highlighted a clean dining area and an open dining room, which was a welcome sight and a rarity for fast food.
Guests also appreciated the nice area and ample parking. However, the general atmosphere scored an average 5, indicating a mixed bag. Many found the building itself problematic, with mentions of constant flies and a generally uncomfortable location.
The thick plexiglass barrier also made interactions difficult, contributing to 11 negative comments and creating a less-than-ideal environment for some.

- atmosphereIf she's not talking down to customers, she's barking at other employees condescendingly. It's Taco Bell, and you get what you're buying into, but even being in that building while she's working is incredibly uncomfortable. I've only visited about four times in the last three years and have otherwise avoided the place due to her, as it's always the same experience: awkward.

- locationthis location is awful
- mask policy enforcementThey don’t enforce masks here.
- placeI am genuinely scared of the manager and worry she will yell at me. As a side note, I find the 5-star reviews very suspicious; there's nothing about that place that could ever deserve more than 1 star. Based on other reviews, the manager might be faking reviews.

- signagethis location needs better signage for the taco bell side of things.
- thick plexiglass barrierThick plexiglass barrier makes it super hard for the poor cashier to hear
- unmasked teenagersTeenagers hanging out unmasked coming from their cesspool schools
If you're looking for a pristine, comfortable dining experience, this might not be your first choice due to issues like flies and an uncomfortable atmosphere. However, if an open, clean dining room and easy parking are your main priorities for a quick bite, it could still serve its purpose.
Value (2.1 out of 10)
mentioned by 13% of the guests
Regarding value, its tough to find any glowing reviews. Customers havent shared positive opinions, indicating that this particular aspect isnt a strong point, and theres no positive buzz to report from their experiences. However, the feedback on value is overwhelmingly negative, with a score of just 2.1 and a customer satisfaction of 0%, both firmly in the poor range.

Great Service Made a Difference
My experience at this KFC was significantly improved by the excellent service provided by Tess. She was very sweet and patient while we took our time to order. Although there was a wait, Tess made up for it, even though it wasn't a problem.
She definitely made this not great KFC better. Thanks, Tess :)

Extremely Rude Service, Ruined Meal
My experience at this restaurant was unfortunately dominated by the extremely rude behavior of the staff. I ordered a box meal, but the girl at the counter was very impolite to both my friend and me. This rudeness made it very hard to enjoy my meal.
When I asked for the food to stay, they placed each item down individually, requiring multiple trips to the table. To add to the frustration, they charged extra for a tray or bag, which felt demeaning, like being treated like a beggar. Despite paying and being kind, my friend's expression of frustration was met with a suggestion to 'take it up with corporate.
' I will be emailing them with the details of my visit. As someone who also works in food service, I've never witnessed such inappropriate and rude behavior towards customers. I do not recommend this place until they improve their staff's education and conduct.

Wrong Order, Vegetarian Nightmare
I gave this restaurant 2 stars because the staff was friendly and quick. However, my experience was significantly marred by a major order error. I ordered 2 cheese quesadillas and received 2 chicken quesadillas.
As a vegetarian, I cannot eat chicken, making the entire order a complete waste. We also ordered 2 burritos and 2 cheese quesadillas, and upon realizing they contained chicken, we had to spit them out. Since we were just passing through town and picking up food on the way, there was no way we could drive back to correct the order.

Excellent Service and Food at KFC
My experience at this KFC was excellent, largely due to the exceptional service provided by Yvette or Yvonne, the shift leader with pink hair. She was consistently patient, kind, considerate, and helpful to customers. The staff also worked hard to produce good food.
I would recommend visiting this location if you are in the area.

Good Food, Poor Service Experience
My experience at this restaurant was a mixed bag. While the food was excellent, receiving a perfect score of 5, the service was quite disappointing. I asked for a receipt because the machine was slow, and the worker responded with a disrespectful tone.
Despite having a good-sized order for takeout, the interaction left a negative impression.
