Taco Bell — Restaurant in Chichester

First time visit to a Taco Bell I so have nothing to compare it to, so Chichester are the lucky restaurant that gets to set the standard.

I have to admit I was pleasantly suprised, the place was clean and tidy and we were the only customers and it was only 20 past seven in the evening, I can imagine it would get really busy when the cinema kicks out though.

I had no idea on what to order so went for the Chalupa box meal, for only £5.99 Really enjoyed it although I was not sure about the Cinnamon crunchy twist things at first but found them tasty enough. The meat sauce in the Taco was very flavoursome but also very mild on the chillies, so if I do visit again I will probably try the Volcano burrito as I do enjoy a bit of spice in my life. The star in the meal has to have been the fries, although I am not a great lover of fries, I much prefer a big chunky chip, these had been spiced up and did have a good crisp to them.

It would have been nice to have been able to sit inside, in the warm but unfortunately with only 40 minutes to go till closing and the staff having just finished cleaning we were told it was take away only. The young lady who served us did reluctantly let us sit at the outside tables as long as we promised to keep the table clean and take all our wrappings away with us. Which we did.

Not sure if I would come here for an after a ride dinner again though during the Winter as it gets cold enough on a bike without having to eat dinner outside too but once the warmer weather comes back for sure I will return to try that...

Possibly the most surreal series of events I’ve seen unfold in a fast food place.

We enter around 7pm and are served by a lovely lady at the till. What proceeds was like the lamest episode of Hell’s Kitchen you’ve ever seen.

The dude running the line was making it VERY clear to all that he was not happy. A Just Eat driver came through and asked how much longer his order was going to be as it had been 20 minutes, to which the guy (seemingly) running things in the kitchen scoured and said “It hasn’t been 20 minutes”. The driver walked out!

A lot of buttons were angrily bashed as he stormed around the kitchen area, loudly expressing his disdain for what his colleagues were or weren’t doing.

Another order came through in what must have been the wrong way because he kicked off very vocally again, all very visibly to all in the place. Dude needed to breathe but instead threw blue roll on the floor, was tossing orders in to bags angrily, throwing sauces behind him all while quite loudly muttering under his breath.

It was INCREDIBLY awkward and quite embarrassing to witness. I’ve worked in service industry businesses and not seen such a public facing tantrum before by someone who appeared to have rank. If this person is in charge of people, I would suggest they need a few extra courses in how to treat people.

All of this took… 20 minutes

Shoutout to the lady who took our order initially for trying to keep things calm and orderly....

Quick fix? Taco bell can sort that out for you.

The nachos were basic but tasty. Lovely and creamy with its cheese sauce to balance out the salty powder that covers the nachos.

Next favorite is their tacos. Simple but very good. Try it out with their sauce packets. I liked mild and hot combined. If you dont like the sauce, having it as is also works.

Quesadilla was melted cheese in a wrap but folded in half and pressed flat. We had ours with chicken and was simply good.

The chips were okay 🙃
