I like nachos. I like cheese. But I am not a big fan of the Tri-ple Melt Nachos for a dollar at Taco Bell. This was my first time trying this entrée, and it left me unimpressed and unsatisfied. Maybe it wasn’t the fault of the nachos. Maybe they had the potential of being delicious. Maybe on any other day they might have been tasty. Maybe, maybe, maybe. The container that held mine had more unmelted cheese sprinkled on top than melted cheese attached to the nachos. I won’t order this again. It was a waste of my dollar.
The Cravings Box cost me five dollars and came with five items: a crunchy taco, a beefy 5-layer burrito, a chalupa su-preme, a medium fountain drink, and some cinnamon twists. My favorite part of this meal is the chalupa supreme. It is often the first thing I eat. I really like the simplicity of the crunchy ta-co, though I often find that it falls apart near the end. I solve this problem by getting a fork from the counter to eat the shell parts that break apart and the lettuce that falls to the table. I usually save the burrito to eat later at home, but today I was quite hungry and ate it at the colorful table I sat at (tables with a padded seat cushion). I’m not a big fan of the cinnamon twists, as they often arrive too crunchy and make an unpleas-ant sound in my head as I bite into them. They’re sweet, but I threw away most of them when I left the restaurant. The sodas were mixed perfectly, and I drank two cups of Mountain Dew, just the perfect mixture of syrup, water, and carbon dioxide gas (CO2, the bubbly stuff in soft drinks).
The tables were clean. The floor had no litter. And the temperature wasn’t too cold. The staff was courteous and on task, and quiet. I don’t mean that they didn’t talk, it is just that they didn’t force me and all the other patrons to listen to their loud personal gripes as so often happens in fast food restau-rants (yes, I’m talking about the Norfolk Taco Bell on Monticello Avenue). Overall, it was a pleasant eating environment as I sat with two friends and tried to wait out the rain. I left when there appeared to be a calm, but found myself in a deluge ten minutes later on the 64 Freeway, reduced to 30 m.p.h. with windshield wipers savagely trying to clear my view. Very scary, but I made it safely home.
Probably the best thing about this restaurant is that it offers both Taco Bell menu and a KFC menu. Definitely a good res-taurant with...
Read moreWe came here with friends after an evening at the beach and wished to dine in. The posted hours were not observed and much to my chagrin, it was all locked up when we arrived. So, we decided to hop into the drive thru.
Worst. Idea. That day. 25 minutes later we rolled out of the drive thru to drive home the 5 minutes. We get home and everything is cold. I had asked in the drive thru why the dining room was closed and why things were moving so slowly. The response was priceless, she looked straight at me and said:
"There are only two people in here working."
Two. Two people. Working the entire restaurant. Pardon my French but how in Sam Hell is this even allowed or ok? If this store can't function as intended it shouldn't be ATTEMPTING to function at all. It gives the whole brand a terrible name. I sincerely hope the franchise owner gets his or her head out of their a** and fix their sodding business. I feel bad for the workers. I feel disgusted at how many corners were possibly cut to get this place in a passable state, let alone safe to consume products from. This is coming from a prior Chick...
Read moreThis was the worst ive ever experienced. Waited ten mins at the speaker than pulled up to the window before someone came to service. Ordered two cheese bean and rice burritos and recieved two hard stale wraps filled with only refried beans so burnt the beans were turning colors and hard. Along with that ordered two of the beefy crunch burrito boxes. There were no boxes all items were thrown in a bag. The box advertises two tacos per box and we only recieved 2 tacos but ordered two boxes. Not to mention the frito burritos had nothing but meat and shredded cheese. They were extreamly small I have ordered these before and they were never like this. all wraps and taco shells were stale as if they have been sitting out or expired. Yet we waited about 15 mins for our food when it had clearly been sitting out. It was disqusting and I will file complaints further. I want comfensation. A refund or credit for this meal. It was horrible and I highly doubt it meats food saftey regulations being a food service manager I know and understand those standards and this is disqusting. WILL absolutly be...
