I didn't think I'd find something that could compete with Bakersfield but this does. It has unique flare without being over the top like some places can. Like pairing pickled veggies with my shrimp? Yes please! Ceviche was a little on the smaller side. Its flavor was there but price to size wasn't worth it to me. Recommend the grilled esquites as a side. I can't NOT get the charro beans because they were addicting. I could live on them in the winter. Tacos were so ed how you'd expect with homemade corn tortillas. Delicious, but I'd say Bakersfield pulls ahead just a touch with the tacos. Camerones Saadi's was delicious! I'd get it again, but still want to try some of their other mains. I did try dessert. Mind you I'm not huge on tres leches as it is so it might not be surprising that it wasn't my favorite. It was a tad on the drier side and textured (this was coconut tres leches so probably where the texture came from). I'd skip dessert the next go round maybe, unless they had some other fun seasonal things to try. Everyone enjoyed their cocktails as well! Especially the mezcal-based ones.

Cute bar!

I don't know why this location even pretends to be open. I have lived here for two years and I think I've been able to actually purchase food here four times. If you are not open TURN OFF THE OPEN SIGN! I am so exhausted hearing their excuses. "Our credit card machine isn't working." "We can't take cash either." "We're out of beef." "Well, we don't have that other food either." "We cant take orders right now" If you cannot do your ONLY job, then turn off the lights. I don't want to sit in line at 12:30 for 20 minutes and the. Hear "we can't take orders." Yes, you can; literally every other Taco Bell in America is beginning to feed their key demographic (drunks and pot heads) at this time! You are LITERALLY the only one not doing it. And don't tell me "it's not our fault"; bc it literally is. I passed multiple Taco Bell's that we're all open and poorly chose the one closest to my house even though I knew better bc I assumed it was only 12:30 so what excuse could they possibly have. Just shit down this location. It is less than useless. read more

Stopped by Taco Bell and had a Mexican Pizza along with some tacos, and everything was really good! The Mexican Pizza was definitely the highlight. It was hot, flavorful, and had a great combination of crispy, cheesy, and savory flavors. The toppings were well balanced, and it was just one of those meals that really hit the spot. The tacos were also on point. The shells had a nice crunch, the meat was seasoned well, and everything tasted fresh. I like that Taco Bell is able to put together a quick meal that still has plenty of flavor without being too complicated. Overall, I had a good experience and enjoyed my meal. I'm giving it 4 stars because everything was tasty and satisfying, with the Mexican Pizza being my favorite. Definitely a solid Taco Bell stop when you're craving something quick, flavorful, and filling! read more

Worst experience ever went to Taco Bell on Glenway near Bridgetown road. The worker was not wearing a mask. They were playing W.A.P. on their phone or radio so loud. I ordered 2 chili cheese burritos and come to find out at the window they couldn't make them. They asked me if I wanted beef burritos instead, I said ok. The messiest burritos ever. Then when I ordered 3 soft tacos with no lettuce, son cannot eat lettuce, when I got home all of them had lettuce on them. Just got to say check your food before you leave and make sure it's right. Tried to call them to get a credit to my order or my money back and no answer. read more
