Taco Bell Cantina — Restaurant in Sacramento

When I went in last, I ordered a drink and the guy at the counter was eating when I went to go retrieve it. He was just standing up at the counter eating food off of some tray, then didn't wash his hands before serving me my drink. That's a pretty gross violation of some basic food safety rules, so I'm not sure how clean the rest of this place is. It's a bit concerning to me that he was allowed to do that with a bunch of other employees around.

Overall, I think for something like a Taco Bell Cantina that they would want to put their best foot forward, but that whole experience made me not want to go back based on cleanliness and food safety.

Also the man who served me was pretty unconcerned about the whole thing. When I went up to him, he asked me what I ordered and then when I told him something, he waited to finish eating before finally pouring it for me. It was pretty annoying to me personally (having worked in fast food) to see someone so careless. I know not everyone likes their job and that's okay, but I do think that at the very least he should've washed his hands or something, or just not been eating up at the front counter in the first place. All I know is that if I see him again (that is if I ever go back) I will not order anything knowing he could be touching my food. I hope a health inspection comes through when...

Is this supposed to be one of the new 'upscale' Taco Bells?

It was kind of fun when it first opened, I came here to check it out. It was a Taco Bell that serves beer and tried to have the atmosphere of a fast-casual place like Chipotle.

I went there yesterday and it was definitely a lot more run down. I saw a lot of random broken screens including the menu board screen and also some of the screens facing the cashier.

I tried to order from the touchscreen kiosk, but since I couldn't order a drink there, I had to wait a long time for the attendant to come out.

After I got my order I wandered around the restaurant looking for a clean table, and not finding one, eventually sat at the bar type thing (made of reclaimed wood). I finished quickly and got out of there quickly.

I guess they can't do much about it, being on K Street, and being the easiest way to get cheap food and a quick drink on K Street, it probably attracts the worst of the K Street crowd. Don't expect the Demolition Man experience of a 'nice' Taco Bell. But if you want cheap food in a quick drink, it's lower commitment than actually going into a...

If i could give this place a 0 i would. i went there last night around 1:45 am. I was with my girl friends and we ordered a mountain dew baja blast, just one for us to share, i tried it at first and it TASTED extremely nasty. Like i was drinking chemicals. I took like 4 sips and my friend took one and said “ no this taste weird what the heck “ and i immediately threw it away. About an 30 mins later i started having stomach pains and nausea. I got home and got insanely sick. I was violently throwing up and my stomach hurt incredibly bad. I hadn’t drank or had anything to eat that night other than the baja blast. I was insanely lethargic when i was throwing up, and super not aware of what was going on. I am a MA and i know what chemical poisoning is. I am 95% sure i got chemical poisoning from their machine. It’s the next day and im not throwing up anymore. But possibly will need to go to the emergency room due to my symptoms still. i’m EXTREMELY...
