I'd not visited a Taco Bell restaurant in thirty-some odd years. In those days one could only order the soft or the hard shell taco. Perhaps a drink. Nothing more. It was a simpler time. A time I look back upon fondly as those years between then and now have been loathsome and torturous. But it was on a cold and windy night just a number of days past that I saw the light of the Taco Bell erupting from the otherwise pitch blackness on M-23. My hunger churned and burned and, as there were no other respectable establishments serving us men of the road at that hour, I made my way to the drive-thru. Before proceeding to the intercom, I quickly downloaded the Taco Bell app and began to aggressively peruse the menu as I had no familiarity with it whatsoever. It was bookish in length and, I must admit, a trifle confusing to mine [Taco Bell] virgin eyes. I did, however, quickly seize upon the burrito section; and then delving further, fixated upon the (Burrito that has basically everything on it. Sorry. I don't remember the name.) largest of all burritos that Taco Bell has to offer. I simultaneously came to the realization that one can customize each ordered burrito. And in coming upon this feature of the Taco Bell model, I took full advantage with immediate effect (i.e. I rolled up to the intercom). I would like your largest burrito! With jalapenos and beans and ALL of the trimmings! I spake with an unnecessarily giddy tone as I became strangely bashful. Who could this Taco artiste on the receiving end of my bumbling order be, I began to nervously ponder...after an appropriately (and justifiably based on the complexity of my request) contemplative pause, a sultry, smoky voice sounded back upon mine ears with a titillating, "would you like any...SAUCE...with that???" Sauce? I'd not anticipated the variable of sauce! Just how does one respond to the question of sauce? "No, thank you" I spaketh back to this faceless siren, expecting no reply. But alas, "make your way to the first window!" was relayed to me via the intercom in such a seductive manner that I could hardly bear to make that fifteen foot trek which would bring me to set eyes upon this phantomess of the night. Burying my fears and feeling as though one might under an untold creole spell, I gathered my wits and pushed on. Finally, I peered into the bright yellow light of the sharp edged drive-thru window. No movement. Silence. I must have stared - perplexed - into that glass for centuries. Or maybe it was but a few seconds. No mind. Suddenly, the shutters burst open! Before me stood a giant of a woman. A descendant of those ancient but beautiful Amazonians to be sure. She accepted my pay (plus tax) and then extended a paper sack, perfectly folded at the top so as to contain the warmth within. "Here you are," she spake again, "are you sure you dont want any sauce?" "Nnnoo," I stammered as her supple fingers deliberately brushed against mine. "Absolutely?" She crooned. "Nnnn...nnn" I snatched the paper bag and sped away into the night, feeling as if I had barely escaped some sort of wonderful but sinful Taco Bell rendezvous. Minutes later, hunkered in the cabin of my rig, illuminated by a singular lamp above an icy, abandoned lot, I discovered that I was gravely mistaken. I HAD been sucked into an illicit Taco Bell rendezvous. And it came in the form of a soft, warm, juicy, burrito. Complete with all of the fixin's. Give the Houghton Taco Bell a go. You will not be disappointed. You might just come back for seconds. And thirds. And fourthhhssss. And...
Read moreOffer only hot dog and or chili dogs with chips. Only one value meal deal $7 Chili dog with chips and drink. No onions, only packets of ketchup and mustard. I couldn't understand a thing she was saying. And her and other only staff member neither spoke very good English. If I wasn't so stumped I should have canceled my whole order of 3 hot dogs ( both value $7 and combo 2 hot dogs) with 3 small blizzards dripping over the sides. Almost $38 i could have went to a family restaurant, but on a medical run so trying to just keep moving on. Worst in last 2 days of medical traveling 😪. Im angry I didn't just cancel the order. They even only microwaved the hot dogs and the one chili cheese all together. Very disappointed 😞. Should just be a ice cream DQ not a quick dinner on the go. Gas station would have been cheaper. No area to eat other than outdoor patio table....
Read moreVery disappointed! Went inside to order and when I walked in there was a girl standing behind the counter, who just looked at me and turned away. I asked if its open to come in and she just grunts. I go in and stand in front of her at the counter and she just preceded to keep looking at her cell phone then after about 3 min of me standing in front of her she turns and walks away! There were 2 people at the drive thru window and 1 person on both lines cooking. Not ONE of them even acknowledged that I was standing there!! No one said we will be right with you no one even said hello to me, and I was the only customer in the restaurant! I slammed my purse on the counter to get anyone's attention and still not even a glance in my direction!! Of course not one of the people working had on a name tag, go figure! Worst...
