Taco Bell Cantina

Chris Nicholson 8 months ago

I rember the first time I read about a taco bell cantina opening in. "I have to eat there someday!" Well it took over 5 years and I never eat at Taco Bell anymore. (Mind you I used to eat at the bell several times every week for years. Even competing a 30 day "Only Bell challenge".) But I digress. Right down the block from Capital One Arena I couldn't resist. At 11PM this place is wall to wall. You have to use the tablets to order but I saw food coming up quickly. My sister in-law insisted I get the Margarita. She also ordered it with 2 extra shots in it. 2 non alcoholic slushies and the Margarita were pooped quickly. The counter worked explained what they were and which was which. Well I have to admit. It was so much worse than I expected. I mean had to laugh. Cheap cuervo blanco and slushy mountain dew. Not mixed up at all. (Note the cup on the left.) If I were 30 years younger it would have been perfect. You have to dine in, so I drank it about as fast as I could so we could get back to waking. The place is well lit and like I stated... Busy. The staff was friendly and keeping up the best they could. At least I can say... "I finally got to go to a taco bell cantina." Probably won't do it again.

Staff were helpful when there was an issue with paying. The boozy baja blast was way too strong but I’m sure others wouldn’t complain about that. The vegetarian items with beans were good but the crunchwrap only had queso in one corner.

The food here is pathetic and embarrassing and is either indicative of employees who don’t care or employees who are instructed to rob customers by putting nothing inside the food. And before you go “what’d you expect? It’s Taco Bell” I’m fully aware that this isn’t a 3 Michelin star restaurant. But my complaint is proportionate to the price I paid. If I’m paying $8 for a Crunchwrap supreme I expect $8 worth of food. This is barely $2.

Food had potential, unfortunately it was raw. Asked for a replacement and the second one was raw also. Good service though.

I come here regularly and the place has really shaped up in the last few months with some great new staff - encouraged by new assistant manager, Fatima. It has a very clean environment, friendly staff who often greet customers at the door, and obviously great Taco Bell food. Occasionally, offbeat local residents can cause a minor disturbance, but situations have always been handled in a professional manner and shouldn’t be reflective of the restaurant or its staff. Five stars! I love coming here!
