Taco Bell — Restaurant in California

Taco Bell on El Camino in Redwood City sits right next to the legendary El Elrullense—a local favorite for legit street tacos. But let’s be real: both spots have their own unique flavor, and Taco Bell earns its stripes in a very specific, very unapologetic lane.

This location deserves an honorable mention for embracing the art of trash tacos. Shoutout to the real ones ordering six hard shells with fire sauce and eating them to the face like you’re avenging every time you didn’t have lunch money in middle school. If Dante’s Inferno had a fast-food chapter, this would be the Gluttony circle—and we’d be posted up proudly.

There’s just something iconic about that shredded lettuce-to-cheese-to-dicey-tomato ratio. And the wrap? Lazy. Sloppy. Glorious. Just like my decision-making skills after 9pm.

Taco Bell here doesn’t pretend to be authentic, and that’s the beauty of it. It shows up, does its greasy job, and lets you spiral...

I don't go to Taco Bell often. When I do it's this location. It has always been slow since day one years ago. Today I was the only person inside. I ordered four tacos and a chalupa and it took almost 15 minutes. Also, the staff needs proper training regarding promotions from the San Jose sharks at the hockey team scores.

She smiled at me and said okay and then I added a few other items and she charged me for the tacos. I caught it and said hey. I thought the four tacos are supposed to be free and she said yes. You need to have a code. So I said let's walk through this. I asked you for the San Jose sharks for free tacos. You said okay and never mention needing to see a code or a screenshot. You just went ahead and charged me and she could not understand what she...

Obviously, this is still a Taco Bell and so the food is never going to be considered gourmet, but I am giving five stars for the consistent quality and service of this particular location. Every other Taco Bell that I have been to always end up making some kind of mistake, whether it is forgetting to put something in an item or just messing up the order entirely. Due to working nearby, I have frequented this establishment and my order has always been correct. The food here, at least for me, always comes out hot and fresh. This is especially apparent when I order the Nacho Fries or Fiesta Potatoes, which often comes out cold and stale at other locations. While this review may have been written after some herbal influence, I honestly do feel that this place is one of the better Taco...
