The birria tacos are 3 for $10 on Wednesdays and so worth the trip. The meat inside is so flavorful and moist, and the cheese is so perfectly stretchy. They are authentically dipped in birria sauce and fried with the meat and cheese. They are so good dipped in the sauce! The dining area is small, but they also seemed to have a lot of takeaway business. Our server was friendly, and the bartender served up my Paloma quickly and perfectly, though I was told later that the blackberry margarita is their best drink. Check this place out. You won't be disappointed.

The staff was nice but when I got closer up the look of the kitchen was concerning. There was grime on most of the surfaces...stainless steel should shine when it's clean but everything just looked sticky. Needless to say, the whole experience left a bad taste in my mouth. No pun intended.

We sat at the bar and was greeted right away - they changed the way you order - the last time I was here I ordered what I wanted with a pen and paper this time I listed what I wanted to the waitress - I think I like the other way better as there is less room for error. I ordered the 1/2 order of chips with garden salsa (just a fancy way to say verde salsa) it was delicious and the chips were perfectly crisp and salty. I also got a build your own taco with the ranch seasoned shell and the chicken ( I wasn't a huge fan of the chickens texture).

I was literally threatened by what I can only assume was a shift manager at this location. I had been eating breakfast here for years as it is right on the way to my office. However, this morning I went through the drive thru and the cashier asked for my order. I gave her my order and waited around for a couple minutes for the confirmation. When she came back on the speaker she once again asked for my order (which I had just placed). So again I told her I wanted a #17 with Hash Browns and a Pepsi (breakfast of champions). They asked if my screen was correct, which it wasn't, so I politely told them I wanted hash browns and not Cinnabons. No big deal, but then a second person got on the intercom and pretty much yelled at me that "she has your order correct sir", even though the screen was wrong. Again, no big deal. Now here is where the fun begins. I got to the window to pay and I handed the cashier a $20 bill for my $5.62 meal. I got $4.38 back as she changed it incorrectly. So at this point I was irritated due to the fact I had to order multiple times, repeat myself over and over, and then they made the wrong change. Mind you, this was 7:45 am and there was NOBODY else in the drive thru or restaurant, not like they were slammed and overwhelmed. Anyway, when I tried to alert this to the cashier I was flatly told that "nope you gave me a $10." I absolutely gave her a $20 because it was the ONLY BILL I had on me and I looked right at it as I handed it to her. I literally only carry around a $20 bill, my drivers license and debit card so I know what I gave her. At this point, the "manager" or shift leader came to the window and yelled at me that I gave them a $10 (this woman was not even part of the transaction so how did she know what I gave them). When I protested and said "listen, this cashier has gotten everything wrong since my order began" I was again yelled at and told they didn't have to serve me. At this point they did because they had taken, sorry, stolen my money and provided me nothing in return. When I basically told the woman, "give me my damn money back" she threatened to "come outside" (I guess because she wanted to attack me physically - comical) and started screaming at me as she pushed the food at me out the window. I pulled away with food that was smashed in the bag and almost certainly tainted. So the end result of this visit was: 1. Money stolen 2. Verbally insulted and threatened 3. Food inedible and discarded I am sure this franchise owner doesn't care either because lets be honest, this is a low skilled, low education, urban Taco Bell. I suppose if you choose to eat there you have to potentially deal with theft and physical violence. read more

For some reason this location has the worse customer service out of all of the Taco Bell locations within the city of Cincinnati. I have visited this location on several occasions to pick up and place orders for delivery services. The wait time to place an order and the way that some of the orders were handled were quite unprofessional. I can understand that this is a fast food establishment, but from my experience, customer service should be at least one skill that the individuals employed by these establishments, should be taught or acquired. I think that those employed should receive customer service training or have to attend a seminar for how to handle customers, when they are distraught or even friendly. Besides the customer service at this location, the intercom system when placing orders is sometimes a bit loud or distorted. If other customers are able to hear the announcer and they are two to three cars away from the intercom system, that is entirely too loud. When orders are placed, we do not need to know that the announcer is frustrated at another co-worker, customers do not need to know that they are having a disagreement. Customer service please!!! read more

This Taco Bell is terrible. It is run by incredibly rude, ignorant, unprofessional, and uneducated people, most likely picked up off the streets from Clifton's homeless population. They can't get an order right, ever, they are rude on every phone call, and the drive through takes at least 45 minutes every time. Once, I was eating inside to avoid the terrible drive through line, and an EMPLOYEE ran inside who had just been PEPPER SPRAYED by one of her ghetto friends. Terrible restaurant. Terrible management. Terrible employees. This Taco Bell needs to be liquidated. The employees there don't even deserve the wage they get for the terrible job they do. read more

I absolutely hate this Taco Bell. It's sad to see the owner not taking any action to improve his business. I don't go here anymore because their always taking only phone orders or uber eats. Someone is smoking weed or worse outside always. They PRECOOK the food! It's so obvious when you get home and the food is cold and seeping oil through the paper wrap. I have to tell them to make it fresh...i just hope when I ask that, that they don't spit in my food. read more
