Taco Bell Eastgate — Restaurant in Christchurch

Absolutely disgusting, I wanted to give Taco Bell a fair chance as I wanted to see why some people like it and it baffles me that it has managed to be a franchise with such poor quality food even for fast food standards.

I ordered a beef taco supreme and a Stuft burrito and I must say it was one of the worst dining experiences I’ve had.

First the taco: the lettuce in the taco stank of chlorine and tasted even worse than it smelled also the tomato tasted like wet cardboard. The only saving grace was the poor sliver of meat and cheese it had at the bottom. For the price it astonishes me that they charge 6 dollars for off vegetables with chlorine residue in a tortilla with hardly a few grams of meat and artificial cheese. The tortilla at least was ok (hard to screw that one up).

The burrito was less of a disappointment as the few tomato bits it barely had were not as offensive to my palate, and the combination of ingredients made for a somewhat tasty yet mushy mess. Nevertheless it had the same problem as the taco since it barely had anything in it, I felt like I was eating a folded tortilla with a sliver of mushy dressings inside.

I must say I entered into this experience knowing full well that’s this wasn’t Mexican food just a cheap and sterilised wannabe knockoff americanzation of it. Yet even then and with these low expectations it managed to thoroughly disappoint me. It doesn’t even stand as serviceable fast food compared to McDonalds, Burger King KFC or any fast food chain I’ve ever visited.

After this experience I won’t be returning ever to this place and I’d recommend dear reader that you avoid it as well, since as I am writing this I’m already starting to feel sick from the food I just ate!! If you must, there are way better fast food options to choose from that will give you way better value for your buck, even if you just want to fill you up or have some comfort food.

Thank you for your time dear reader and...

Seeing as I'm getting no response via Facebook thought id leave a review here.

I'm not happy at all with the Taco bell eastgate (linwood christchurch). I purchased my meal at 8:30pm Friday night.

Walk in order #22 They will remember me because they remade my whole order.

Ordered a soft shell beef taco supreme large with coke 2 crispy chicken stripes With Chipotle sauce 1 sour cream 1 nacho cheese sauce

They ended up giving me 2 soft taco supremes instead of 1 and the 2 crispy chicken stripes and left out the Chipotle sauce.

So, I walked back in, spoke with a women named Jaspher, and she kindly offered to remake my whole order.

When given my new order, a male named Bailey, who made my new order, had then left out the Taco Beef Supreme.

Gave me some fresh chips with the 2 crispy chicken stripes and the missing Chipotle sauce but left out the nacho cheese sauce and sour cream.

Asked if everything was there, including the sauce, before leaving trusting, they would successfully make this order correctly the second time around...

Unfortunately, when I got home, it was a different story. Got to the point where I couldn't even be bothered eating the rest of the meal. It's not cool. I've never had a problem with this branch or their...

My partner and I had the dinner for 2, the crunchwrap supreme was so blad I was genuinely shocked, the quesadilla was bland too, all I could taste was cheep cheese. The fries were tasty but soggy so that was disappointing, the chocodilla was just melted chocolate in a soft tortilla so it was decent but really nothing special. The complementary sauces were bland too I was again shocked when tasting the "fire" sauce on my crunch wrap it was not spicy at all and just tasted like a watered down mild salsa. Most shocking part was we paid $5 for a mini pump bottle 400ml, and when I went to have a drink it was not sealed and the water came pouring all over me. I will never waste my...
