Taco Bell — Restaurant in San Fernando

VISA # WILL BE STOLEN HERE!!! On March 29, 2019 my husband visited this location for lunch. They were very slow at the drive-thru window and typically my husband always and I mean always pays cash. On this day he used his bank ATM card. It can be used as a debit or Visa. The very next day (3/30/19) we noticed that our bank account had fraudulent activity and over $1,000 was taken "over night"...literally....and all was charged out of the country. Of big importance, my husband NEVER uses this card unless he absolutely has to and in this case he had not used it for over 45 days. Upon contacting the bank and finding out that it was his card that had been used for this activity on March 30th 2019, we were highly suspicious that with the amount of time it took for him to get his food at the drive-thru (approx. 15+ minutes) for 2 burritos ,that his card was being copied or photographed inside the restaurant by an employee. In this particular restaurant the drive-thru window happens to be situated very high and is quite narrow and you are not able to see inside when you are in a normal sized car. The fact that the card had not been used in 45 days or longer and then was used on the 29th then revealing fraudulent activity the very next day makes us highly suspicious that someone had taken a picture of the card and sent it to someone out of the country as all of the charges were clothing related or store related. It makes you wonder if somebody was purchasing items to return to get the cash and perhaps split or share it somehow with the person here in this Taco Bell, Sylmar CA location. Without security cameras and visual identification from the driver's perspective in the Drive-Thru it is very hard to point a finger but it is highly coincidental as per the police and the bank. We have filed complaints and hopefully the perpetrator will be brought forward and prosecuted. If they find out who this is we will prosecute and pursue this to the fullest extent of the law... last but not least the service is especially slow the employees clearly take ZERO Pride or effort into this job... we have a Taco Bell in our hometown approximately 30 miles from this location and have never had one...

As far as public restrooms go, if you have to GO and you know you don't wanna GO whilst stuck in traffic on foothill going west at 2:30 in the afternoon, then GO in this restroom.

The Turkish drain is centered in the middle of the floor in the middle of the room so there's a slight grade that basically goes inward from the four corners. The staff keep it nice and the smell is, Well , what you'd expect from Taco Bell near the edge of LA proper. The lighting is OK. It's not sheriffs station 11/10 bright, but it's not Glory Hole 3/10 bright/dim depending on how empty or full the glass is for you.

The roaches that try to fight their way out of the Turkish Drain in the center of the room are of decent size and girth, as. You settle in to do big business on the Bowl, the shrieks and hisses and the sound of chitinous appendages attempting to thwart the thin metal grate over thee drain will have you thinking 'we are gonna need a bigger broom" when considering standing your ground, grabbing the nearest blunt object and preparing to defend yourself from the untold horrors below that floor

SYLMAR is after all not only the City of Thieves but also The Land of Roach. This is their land. We are the intruders. So it's best you just mind your own and try not to get involved with them, look at them cockeyed, or be rude to them! This land this their land!

Taco Bell bathroom isn't bad Most tweekers have gotten loaded here but would not choose to do so willingly. Chances of encountering homeless insane can be hit or miss but the staff just received surplus k-pots, vests, surplus rifles, magazines and ammo. The place really does have all the charm of an American checkpoint in Fellujah around 2004/5.

I'd use it again if I...

This Taco bell at 12910 Foothill Blvd Sylmar, is the best, cleanest, safest, best staff than most taco bells in the area, they give really big portions especially if you take the time to talk to the counter guy/gal (when you walk in) They always welcome you, they thank you, and if you come in at least twice, they call you by your name when you come in. They always clean up before you walk up and between customers ( using clorox) and are covid safe. If you ask for hot and fresh food instead of the already prepared stuff, they will get fresh stuff and give you an estimate ( usually 10 mins) which is worth it. I come here quite a bit because I live alone and can't cook and this my favorite place especially because it's cheaper than a $15 overpriced burger meal from most other fast foods. The bell gives you fulfilling meals and you feel full and satisfied. You can get out of here for under 10$ if you get a meal and 5 dollar menu items. Please consider this restaurant. I have not been paid or compensated for this glowing review, nor asked to write this. I just wanted to share about my...
