Tacos meat and beans want held at proper temperature. Not that I expect a ton from taco Bell, but it was obvious that the burritos and taco I bought were mishandled to say the least. I realize when going through a drive through the food isn't always going to be made fresh specifically for me, but what I got was horrid and almost the same cold temperature as the vegetables in the respected food . I didn't complain as I know better at places like this late at night. It's better to take your punches and get it alive. Literally, they can do so many bad things to your food as I have witnessed working at even the fiber dining establishments in the area. For example if you ate at Ciattis when I was working there a few years ago, the chefs ( as they thought of themselves, lol) never washed their hands after handling raw meats. Fish, pork, beef, chicken, veal. After handling those things they would touch items on the cold side (e.g. fresh vegetables, sauces) with their bare hands and not think twice or about it at all. As a matter of fact, my coworkers didn't like me alot and one reason was cause I washed my hands ALOT. I really mean allot. Like I was supposed to. After touching anything other than clean food that wasn't raw I washed and sanitized. I had to walk away from what I was doing which drive my coworkers crazy and they complained to the point that I was talked to about it. Now that is what is considered fine dining in saint cloud and that stuff happens without anyone batting an eye out thinking twice about it. Now go to Taco Bell at midnight, order stuff, pay with exact change that takes a couple extra seconds with a line behind me. Then get your food, go back complain while in another line so the cooks are busy and they see that they have to remake your food. And it's a toss up on how crazy the cooks are and how creative they can get in disguising gross stuff they can do to your food. Oh, but it's got now though....

I went to this location to get lunch. I saw a line in drive thru. Naturally, I assumed that going in would be faster. Once inside, I waited behind a construction worker. Unable to find his policeman or native American friend, I ordered after him.
The cashier was friendly and greeted me with a smile. Apparently, smiles are free!! Placing my order took a whole 30 seconds from smile to receipt.
This must be the greenest food chain as the cup I got boasted having been recycled 3 times. I decided to let it commune with its kind by filling it with mango tea. I discovered a possible revolt took place as the mango flavoring created a stronghold which took a couple pushes to break through.
Being Latino, I decided to go where the music is. The new breakfast salsa isn't bad, it's just different.
The view over the counter was like watching a movie. Add a giant fan in the back with some high constrast lighting and you'd have the perfect slow motion scene for the big screen. It's a thing of beauty to watch when you have the time. After about 15-20 minutes of waiting for my food, the scene got a little old. I wanted more of a story. What's the motivation of the cooks?
I just couldn't help but notice they had great hair in the kitchen. They're so generous, they shared with me in my meal. Ah, the scent of suave products in your meal. Just makes everything more appetizing.
Altogether, this experience convinced me to avoid this location. The changes to the menu (specifically the cravings box) were undesired, but the store can't control this. It's the experience of waiting that really shaped my visit.
Oh, since Google asked, there's plenty of parking. Even in drive...
Read moreOrdered online. First off any order bigger then 50 dollars won't let you order. You have to split it up in to two different orders. So I ordered two orders for my friends and Ii had my friend go pick it up. First order was a meal for 4 and the second order was 3 quesadillas with extra meat beans rice nacho cheese sauce and extra shredded cheese. First off they didn't have half the order even tho they told my friend they didn't just one item for the first order but the rest was there. The second order the quesadillas didn't have extra steak, no nacho cheese sauce, and they didn't even put the jalepeno ranch sauce on the quesadillas even though I didn't take it off my order. And on too of that they didn't give me my hot suaces I had ordered. Worst experience ever. I will be taking my business to taco John's for now on. At least I know my food won't be made by imcompetant nut sacks. If I could give negative stars on reviews I would. I should mention to they were like 10 minutes to close but at the time of my order they were an hour to close. When my friend got there the guy at the drive through kept making comments on how they will be closing in a few minutes. We'll it's not my fault you guys take 5-10 business days to make an order for a customer. And if they didn't have the food to make an order I shouldn't have been able to submit my order online, which is usually the case when trying to order something on the app. Plus I have worked in food industries before and I understand not having some of the items to make something but for the most part when a customer order even 2 minutes to close we made the order to the...
