Taco Bell / KFC — Restaurant in San Diego

When I was growing up, going to Taco Bell consisted of deciding between "Hard Tacos" and "Soft Tacos" -- both featuring its signature mealy ground beef with flour filler, seasoned with chili powder and cumin. In more recent years, they've added gorditas, chalupas, "Mexican" pizzas (presumably either derived from tlayudas or huaraches), "grilled stuffed" burritos, quesadillas, "crunch-wraps," and now Doritos-shelled tacos. It is the latter product that has reinvigorated their brand and cemented Taco Bell as the pre-eminent purveyor of food to stoners around the world. For my part, I find the "Nacho Doritos Loco Taco" to be irredeemably salty, and hence actually a tick of a downgrade from the regular "Hard Shell Taco." The "Fiery Dorito Loco Taco" is a bit better if only because the added chili spice in the shell mutes one's taste buds long enough for the rest of the taco to slide onto your gullet without the usual alarm.

Regardless of which taco you get, be prepared to pay a price later. The side-effect of eating this kind of food is your body's sudden and utter rejection of it, often culminating in an exhausting and macabre spectacle on the crank.

Out of the various Taco Bells I've been to, this Clairemont location, shared with KFC, is far from the worse. There is a sense of pride on the part of management evident in that this location is generally clean and, unlike other Taco Bell locations I've visited around San Diego (cough Aero Drive cough), the staff here is typically focused more on taking your order and getting you your food than goofing off and flirting with each other.

Still, there has to be some better options for tacos in Southern...

Ok ok ok. I’m leaving my old review after this because sometimes you need to look back and see where you came from. I’ve gone back here now many times and wow I’ve seen an improvement. There’s a..well not in a bad way, but older woman who I think is managing the household here and she has turned this place around! She’s great and said some funny sassy shit back to me so I know she’s a real one. Anyway I take back what I said about the quesadilla. It’s cooked all the way now. Thank you. I’ll come back more. Your line isn’t as long as well so that’s a plus. thanks for the sauces still 💋 Here’s my old review for your remembrance you Karen’s: Look, I’m coming to Taco Bell so the bar is set pretty damn low, but for Christ sake at least melt the cheese when you give me a cheese quesadilla. If I’m going to knowingly pay money to treat my body like trash at least humor me. Thanks for the...

I had the worst experience today at tacobell. The manger was disrespectful and rude. It’s covid 19 didn’t even respect my personal space. The manger was touching food and drinks and making food while taking orders not 1 time did she wash her hands. After touching everything I watched her. Along with 2 other customers in the store. The manger was rude and interrupted my conversation I was having with another person in the store. She even told me I complain every time I come inside the store and she even told me not to come back. She said I’m not your homie or your bro making fun of the way I talk. Because I kept saying bro and homie. She said I’m not your bro or homie I’ll never be your friend. Funny thing is she walked up to me yelling while all her coworkers stopped what they were doing to look at what happen. She single handedly...
