A Tale of Taco Bell Trials: Sour Cream Saga and Smoky Surprises
Step right up, ladies and gentlemen, for a rollercoaster ride of taste bud twists and managerial mishaps! Strap in as I recount the comedic calamity that was my roommate and I's recent Taco Bell expedition.
Our adventure began innocently enough, with dreams of Crunchwrap Supremes dancing in our heads. But alas, fate had other plans. No sooner had we placed our order than the employee launched into a sour cream sales pitch that could rival a late-night infomercial. "Would you like sour cream with that?" they chirped, their enthusiasm for the creamy condiment bordering on evangelical. We politely declined, only to be met with a relentless barrage of sour cream upsells, as if the fate of the entire dairy industry hung in the balance.
Undeterred by the sour cream saga, we soldiered on, eagerly awaiting our feast. But just as we were about to sink our teeth into our Doritos Locos Tacos, tragedy struck. A whispered rumor swept through the dining area like wildfire: it was Tuesday, the holiest of days at Taco Bell, and yet, not a single soul had whispered a word about the elusive "Discovery Meal Box" special. Oh, the injustice! The betrayal! We were left to wallow in a sea of FOMO, our hopes dashed like so many crushed taco shells.
But wait, dear reader, the plot thickens! Just as we were lamenting our taco-induced woes, the manager sauntered in, cloaked in a cloud of cigarette smoke that could rival a vintage jazz club. With a nonchalant flick of the wrist, they greeted us, blissfully unaware of the olfactory assault they were unleashing upon our delicate senses. It was a moment so surreal, it could only be described as a spicy hallucination.
In the end, despite the ups and downs of our Taco Bell escapade, we emerged victorious, bellies full and spirits (mostly) undaunted. For in the grand tapestry of life, it's not the sour cream upsells or the missed specials that define us, but the shared laughter and camaraderie of enduring it all with a fellow taco enthusiast by our side. So here's to you, dear roommate, and to many more Taco Bell adventures yet to come. Just maybe next time, we'll BYOS (bring your own...
Read moreJust had the weirdest experience. We were leaving lagoon and needed dinner. My kids suggested Taco Bell which is usually a favorite. I GPSed the nearest Taco Bell on the way home and found this one. I wish I read these reviews first. Went through the drive through. I ordered 2 tacos, no lettuce, beefy 5 layer burrito, 2 bean and cheese burritos and a luxe box that had a 5 layer burrito, a crunchy taco and cinnamon twists. This is a picture of my daughter’s tacos. She doesn’t like lettuce. There was barely a sprinkling of meat and it doesn’t even extend the full length of the taco. I wouldn’t complain but I got a regular taco and it had a normal amount of meat and cheese with lettuce. Clearly this isn’t how they do their normal tacos and both of her tacos looked like this. My taco was great…unfortunately it was the only thing that was great. My Beefy 5 layer burrito and my other daughter’s 5 layer burrito tasted like it had only 1 layer…beans. Like literally no beef, no cheese, no other ingredients. If they were in there it was just a small amount and couldn’t be tasted over the amount of beans. Neither of us ended up finishing our burritos. Then my other daughter had the 2 bean and cheese burritos. They must have put all the beans in our burritos because hers was mostly red sauce. She took a bite and a pile of red sauce poured out. As someone else mentioned about the cinnamon twists…tasted like old oil and not much sugar and cinnamon on it.
This location is clearly struggling with how to prepare the food. It is not consistent…nor good. I feel like I wasted $20 since every single one of our food items was near inedible. Since it isn’t local to me I can’t even go in to complain. But I can guarantee you I won’t be stopping here again on the way home from...
Read moreThis is one of those “I could give this 0 stars I would” reviews. I’ve been to this location so many times. Tonight was BAD. Half the staff (4/8 people) were right outside one of the doors, and had the door propped open. The wind was blowing in through that door and out towards the drive thru window, which is a good prep area. This filled the whole building with the smell of cigarettes. I saw two of the girls who were outside smoking come back inside. Only one of them washed her hands. The other came in and said to her coworkers (who were super busy and blantantly frustrated that the rest of the people were outside instead of helping), “ok I’m going to help you guys and then dip.”
We had our food about two minutes at this point, the smell was so strong and revolting that we didn’t even take a bite, and I went to the counter to ask for a bag. He asked why and I told him because the whole place smells like cigarettes, and pointed to the door that was propped open with smokers outside. He came back about a minute later and said, “she said thanks for letting her know.” I was confused and asked, “who?” He said, “the manager” as he pointed to the second girl who came in from smoking outside, and didn’t wash her hands. I shook my head and said, “ok but I asked for a bag, so can I get a bag?” He took another two minutes to bring a bag.
This is a critical health code violation according to Davis County Health Department.
In addition to that, the cinnamon twists tasted like chemicals. They had an extremely bitter aftertaste. We couldn’t eat more than one. The nachos had a similar taste but...
