Taco Bell — Restaurant in Santa Clarita

The newly renovated location right across from Canoga High is a well needed restoration. That old place was so run down and well abused by high school students, which seemed for decades is now a modern-day taco bell. It's the closest taco bell to my house. I think they missed the visual presence from the street. The big sign and store are so far set back that it's very easy to miss as you drive by, i missed it twice, and i know where it is. The signage is very poorly placed for such a grest location on topanga canyon. With that said, i went inside, and they highly rely on unmanned kiosks to take your order. I stepped up to just get a snack and was perplexed how to order what we expected to order. , no onion , extra sour cream, or our own personal concoction we have become used to ordering for all these years. I find these kiosks are not user-friendly, and every fast food place that has one expects us to know how to use their propietary system , like we took training on using it and unless yiu est there that often i dont plan on learning how to be a cashier at taco bell. Fine, it's not that important since most of the patrons go through the drive thru anyway. It neds a Ai screen persona that you talk to and takes your order . It would be great if that in screen ai presence was of famous people taking the order . Imagine orsens well or tupoc taking the order. Or even the Taco Bell dog. But something you talk to insread of you . . pressing the buttons. The food was good and as expected from the simple items they have. It was hot, and it was actually correct now . I used to go home and have asked for no onions. It would have double onions, so that is something addressed with great success. It's funny, but you have to order how many taco sauces you want now, lol. All in all, good job cause it was well needed. It does have better technology and belongs in 2024. I like Taco Bell. Always have and am glad to see this 🙏 location back. I think ownership should really consider making thre sign mpre visiblr from the street that can be fixed, so do it. Congradulations and welcome back to the neighborhood from your vacation. Back to business and remember your rootts of sucsess by keeping the food inexpensive and good. , emphasis on the inexpensive. This is why people ear there. It's not supposed to be a 2o dollar meal place. Remembrr the 59 cent taco if you want to win the fast food race. especially during this tragic food inflation times. Be there for people , dont clown atound with a meal cost like the big burger joints...

This Taco Bell location consistently turns off all of the outside lights for the restaurant by 11 pm during the week. The sign on the street is turned off, the menu light is turned off and the name of the restaurant is turned off. The first time I went through the drive-thru, before 11:30 pm, I noticed that all of the lights were off and I had trouble reading the menu because it was so dark (there were no backlights on the menu) so I mentioned it to the cashier when I paid for my order and I was scoffed at by the cashier. It was an unpleasant experience but I decided to give them another try and again, the next time I went before 11:30 pm, all lights, signs and any indication they were open were turned off. It seems like it's more important to the night staff to intentionally drive customers away than to generate revenue and business for Taco Bell. Very disappointing management in the...

Drive-thru. Food was hot. Watched the breakfast burritos get pressed. Quick service. Polite and professional. A little surprised at just how good the experience was as my typical experience with the Bell is not great. This however was stellar. I'm only taking a star off because the burritos were not very good. Not terrible, just had a strange taste to the flavor that I didn't enjoy. However, I think that's more of an anomaly IF you typically like Taco Bell offerings and generally speaking I do. I just don't order breakfast here and probably won't in the future but that aside, good trip the Taco Bell this morning. Pictures are a Cheesy Toasted Sausage Burrito and a Grande Toasted...
