RECENTLY REMODELED 100% TACO BELL. No longer sharing space with Long John Silvers.
The new remodel looks nice. It has a more updated, almost industrial vibe with more earth tones and geared towards teens and young adults. No children's play area.
The food is basic Taco Bell. Crunchy or "soft" (flour tortilla) tacos, burritos, nachos, etc. They have creatively arranged the same ingredients in different ways, given them TexMex names to produce "specialty items" such as "enchiritos" and "Mexican pizza." Everyone this close to Mexico knows this ain't Mexican food, but for some strange reason I like it and keep coming back.
As compared to what Taco Bell excellence should be, and based on my experience, this location is below par in food quality and customer service. My tacos were half empty. No greeting as I entered. It took a couple of minutes for the employees to notice me and come take my order (no one in front of me). No smile returned the smile I offered... Just deadpan faces of zombie people... barely functional.
On the positive side, when they did take my order, they got it right, and it was made promptly. The building, dining room, and what I could see of the kitchen appeared clean.
The dining room was empty except for one tall table occupied by a group of young people who were actually talking to each other rather than texting. Nice! I would have hired them.
Will I return? Yes. Turnover at these places is high and, most likely, it will be a whole new crew next week, and I'll take my chances so I can get more of this fake "Mexican", if not...

I asked in astonishment what was the meaning of this? He said "Sir,This $5.00 was stuck to the other bills this is your money" this young man could have easily ripped me off but be didn't! I've never seen or experienced such honesty anyone else would have pocketed my money...Its simple David is honest and because he is I will bring my family here...this is where we will feel...
