Taco Bell on Liberty Road has become one of my favorite late-night stops! The drive-thru employee suggested I download the Taco Bell app, and I'm glad I did--it made ordering easy and unlocked some great deals. I ordered the Deluxe Cravings Box with the Chalupa, Nacho Fries, taco, burrito, and drink, and it was a lot of food for a great value. Everything was hot, fresh, and packaged neatly, and the staff was friendly and efficient even during the late-night rush. The drive-thru moved quickly, my order was accurate, and the recommendation to use the app was definitely worth it. If you're looking for a satisfying late-night meal with plenty of variety, this location is a solid choice. I'll definitely be back! read more

It was just before midnight when I arrived at this Taco Bell (Columbia, Maryland). I knew the dine-in option was not available due to how late it was, so I proceeded to the drive-thru. As I approached this Taco Bell, I found the premises to be well kept and the signage was well illuminated. There were no other cars in the drive thru when I arrived. I had a simple order: Three regular tacos and a large Starry. The order was ready fairly quick, with no complications. But now, here's my frustration: When I was a little boy, I was taught good manners, especially saying "please" and "thank you." Later, when I was a teenager, this knowledge was reinforced by my employers while I worked in the fast food industry. All my bosses would always say to "show your appreciation to the customers by thanking them for their business. This helps our business stay alive, and it means you'll have a job." It seems to me that a high percentage of kids in Generation Z missed out on this fundamental knowledge, and I experienced this here at this Taco Bell. It's a reflex for me though; when the cashier handed me my items I said "thank you" to her. In response, all I got was a blank stare. No "have a good night," no "come again," and certainly no "thank you for your business." In short, this Taco Bell location is well kept, and my meal was good. But this Taco Bell, just like a lot of other fast food businesses, need to train their employees to be polite and pleasant. It should be a natural thing for everyone, especially for anyone working in customer service. read more

I went with my friend to pick something up nearby and she wanted to come here, so of course I had no choice. However, that wasn't a bad thing. It's probably been over 15 years since I've been to a Taco Bell. I saw a Facebook page about their crispy chicken taco so I thought I would give it a try and see how it compared to the old style McDonald's one. I ordered two and paid $1extra for guacamole, which I would not do again because it was a very tiny smear on each taco. The tacos were very good and crispy like they advertise. The tacos were just over $4 each with the added guac. I also ordered the "Happier Hour" strawberry passion fruit refresca. It was just OK. It could've used a little more flavor, but it was better than drinking soda. They are just. $2.00 for a medium. The ordering screen was a bit tricky for me as I like to see the menu ahead of time. Fortunately there was no line at 3 o'clock, and I didn't feel the pressure to order quickly. read more

THIS TACO BELL LOCATION SUCKS !!!!!!!!! i shouldn't have ever come here but oh well that was my mistake i pulled up to this taco bell at 210am and yes they were packed but nothing ever gets done here. i placed an order through the app because the drive thru was too long and I WAITED OVER 45 MIN to get my food literally it took so long i went to the drive thru to try to order and then now INCOMPETENT WORKERS HERE DO NOT COME HERE AT ALL AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS NOT WORTH IT read more

I ordered $20 worth of food here last night for my husband and I for dinner. Drove it 45 mins home (its near a work event) to find out that it's missing a $7 crunchwrap! I called the store multiple times to get my money back and no one ever picked up. This happened at this location about 6 months ago but I chalked it up to human error and now I know that it's an issue at this location. read more

The WORST fast food service, EVER!!! If it were possible to give this particular store a negative rating, then I would give them a negative 5. On three separate occassions; I had placed a mobile order, for pick-up, through the Taco Bell mobile app. And all three times, when the mobile app indicated that my order was ready for pick-up... I would arrive at the restaurant only to find out that either my order hadn't been started yet, or that my order was sitting at the drive-through queue ( even though I had explicitly indicated on the mobile that I would be picking up at the order counter ). The final time that I had ordered through the mobile app, it was indicated that my order was ready for pick-up at the counter, and I waited for 45 minutes, and still my order was NOT ready. I had asked multiple times about the status of my order, while waiting, and I only received evasive answers. I finally had to just leave without receiving any food, because I had needed to go pick up my daughter from a social function she was attending in Laurel, MD. I will NEVER place another order at that particular store again!!! read more

This a newly remodeled location. The customer service was great. I ordered a chalupa Supreme and it was fresh made to order.

thx for the free chips food came out quickly!!!!! workers seemed nice. the new touchscreens are cool read more

The food was delicious, the service was quick cause we were first ones there. The ambiance was quiet when we first sat down, but before we left the restaurant it became busy. read more

The revamp of this Taco Bell turned out really nice. The drive thru is new and the whole place inside is very clean. My husband and I were feeling VERY lazy and tired on Halloween and we did not want to cook. We ordered on the app for a walk in pick up. (Highly recommend getting the app, way more food deals there). There were some people ordering in front of us when a nice staff member asked "hey how can I help you guys" I let her know we had a mobile order to pick up. She immediately grabbed it for us and we were good to go. We were inside for maybe 3 minutes. It was effective, quick, and friendly. Something else I noticed is that the portions of the food were actually generous and filling. We had been going to the other Taco Bell in Jessup during the renovation and that one is always hit or miss - usually skimpy or just alright. read more

This Taco Bell is by far the best one I have ever been to and have also lived in other areas of the country. I hope after the remodel, nothing changes and the service is still top notch! read more

The actual food is good but the staff is so busy on their phones that they won't ask if you want a drink or side. The lady behind the counter would even give me napkins without me asking because she was preoccupied with scrolling. When I asked for napkins she slammed them on the counter instead of handing them to me. read more

My order took 45 minutes. For the last 15 minutes I overheard many employees in the kitchen discussing my order and uttering vocally my name--which I provided with eagerness in anticipation for my meal. I inquired multiple times about the status of my cuisine and was assured it was top of mind for the entire BOH (back of house) staff. I waited and waited with steadfast optimism forbearance. At last and as stated in the principal sentence--after 45 minutes of ravenous expectancy my order was finally called. The employee exited the bathroom with flagrantly dry hands told me "l'm sorry for the wait, we included a free taco coupon for the wait". Upon returning home and inspecting the contents of my bag there was no coupon. My quesarito turned to ashes in my mouth. I felt I had possibly projected too much onto this excursion but upon consulting my analyst I felt I must warn future patrons on of this vile Kafkaesque experience at the Ellicott City Taco Bell. read more

Definitely one of my favorite places to eat. No, it's not good for you, but boy does it taste great, and it's ready in a flash. I go there as often as possible and I recommend that everyone else does. However, please don't be there when I'm there, after all, that would delay my service quite a bit. read more

i hate to say it, but im a frequent customer at this branch. food is usually up to par. i do wanna say that people on the intercom are just the rudest people ever. they'll give you this crazy attitude when you take more than 5 seconds to think abt what u want. this place needed the re-work tbh and i really hope they do come back better and with new staff but i don't have much hope. also since this taco bell is under renovation the other taco bell nearest is like 10 minutes farther away so i don't really know what to do. read more

Shoutout to our local community heroes! This location is also open for breakfast!!! Yay! I have been to breakfast at Wendy's at other locations, so I am so excited to now see this location is a choice when I come to the area!!! That will be a game changer for me, because it is located around 3 of my doctors offices. I came today needing a chalupa fix! This has been my guilty pleasure for years now! Sour cream and Fire sauce is a must! It tasted as awesome as I remembered! Definitely my favorite! I have been to so many Mexican restaurants, but this is my go to and has never been challenged. If it ain't broke, don't mess with it !! This flatbread shell is where it's at!!! read more

Horrible service!! Online order was not ready and there were no customers. Staff was sitting around laughing. They asked for my order information several times without communicating what the issue was. They began to all talk loudly in Spanish and give me look. I said thank you when I received my food and the employee walked away. VERY RUDE AND UNPROFESSIONAL. read more

The food was terrible, to say the least. Cashier gave me a mean look while I was ordering. I didn't like it at all. The whole aesthetic of the place was like a prison cafeteria. read more

There was a huge line at the drive-thru so I went inside, thinking it would be faster. I was very wrong. This store is a good example of poor management and the opposite of a well-oiled machine. I had to wait 20 minute to get two cheesy $2 burritos, and there were only four people ahead of me waiting for their food. I'd rate 1, but I added a star are primarily for the courteousness and friendliness of the cashier, Garrett, who was diligent and professional. A new employee was being trained at peak dinner hours, only one register was open, the manager was barking orders, and chaos reigned. The area to wait in line is narrow and cramped. The pickup area is also small. I definitely will not return. read more

Best Taco Bell in the area! Always hot and fresh and the special orders are correct. Service is friendly.

This taco bell was one of the best i have been to. The food was great and the service was very nice. Will definitely return.

Perfectly fine for a breakfast to go, especially after the long wait at the Dunkin and the strangeness at the BK. There were no cars in the drivethrough when I pulled up to this Taco Bell. My order was taken competently by someone who I could understand through the speaker. My breakfast was ready when I got to the window and it was as ordered when I drove away. A few napkins in the bag, which is always helpful. Those cinnamon things stuffed with cream cheese? Wow, those were quite yummy. The crunch-wrap thing with steak was a good breakfast sandwich and easy to eat. No mess, no fuss. Can you be a "fan" of a Taco Bell? Well, I am. read more

Food was good. Staff was alright. Had to wait a bit in line tho

Ok, so it's midnight on Saturday night and you've had a few drinks and are craving some late night food. Nothing is open other than your standard McD's, BK or Checkers. You're totally unfamiliar with the area so this Taco Bell becomes a destination. You need to get there and get a grilled stuffed burrito in you stat. Well apparently, it seemed like the entire town had the same idea.......the drive-thru line was pretty long and I wish I could say it moved quickly......but it did not. A car full of hungry, somewhat intoxicated friends crept patiently towards the well lit menu board committing our order to memory. After finally receiving our food we dashed into the dimly lit parking lot and enjoyed our gourmet Mexican deliciousness al fresca, along with about 30 other vehicles. For a brief moment or two......it was pure bliss. read more

Extremely long drive thru lines.. Not sure if it's due to long wait times to prepare the order or just slow cars ahead. The food here is decent, however their wait times are long. Expect a minimum of 30min wait. About 15min wait to have your order taken and about another 15mins to get your vehicle to the window. Once you are in line, it's tough to leave the drive thru. The food was good, however customer service was a bit spotty read more

Taco Bell is Taco Bell. But if Taco Bell is advertising a product then they should all have it. Not just the corporate stores which is what the worker said. So I am a little bummed. read more

Alright BRUH I ordered a Baja blast. And they gave me a Baja blast FREEZE. The service was slow and the restaurant smelled like feet. read more

This place is down the street from my house and I love coming here late at night when every where else is closed. The drive thru stays open until 2am! The tacos and burritos are rather well put together. It's Taco Bell. You're not coming here for the dining experience, you're coming to fulfill your late night munchies! And this place never fails to hit the spot. Like most fast food restaurants, some Taco Bells I've been to have employees who are rather unpleasant and rude. This place is not one of them! Whether I come at 3pm or 1am, the person taking my order is always professional and nice, which I can really appreciate. Also, their sirarcha quesoritos are a MUST TRY if they still have them. They're maybe the best thing I've ever had from Taco Bell. read more

No problems here. I always get the same thing, crispy taco combo. Never had any issues. Food order was correct and hot.

I'm still waiting 15 minutes later. It's Taco Bell. Wow. This is the slowest I have ever been in. Unless you have a lot of time. Avoid this place. read more

This taco bell is always perfect! Thank you Abina and Gabriel! They make everything picture perfect and I've eaten here at least ten times this month and EVERY order PERFECT!

Fast, courteous service. My son and I have visited this Taco Bell numerous times over the years and have never been disappointed. The drive-through is fast and accurate. Never had a problem. On one occasion we arrived late in the evening and saw a long line at the drive-through, but the line moved very quickly! And before we knew it we were on our way with some delightful gustatory treats. I would highly recommend this Taco Bell as a fast food option over many of the other nearby eating establishments, and I again favor this restaurant for dining in or drive thru primarily because of the fast and efficient service. It is delicious food at inexpensive prices served with a smile. It is clearly well managed and a model for all franchisees on how to do it well! read more

If I could give this establishment zero stars I would. Bar far the worst experience I've had at ANY Taco Bell (on more than one occasion). Horribly understaffed, orders are always wrong, long lines and wait times. Won't be going back again. read more

food was fresh! hard taco shell went crazy. service was quick! baja blast was crispy af

NEEVER go and order at the window and never order through door dash or Ubereats. Always order from the drivethru. We waited for 50+ minutes for food as well as 4 other groups of people. Service is also pretty trash as read more

Went tonight at 1:00am to fulfill some late night munchies and even though online they close at 2:30 we never got our order. We ordered online and waited at the window for 5 minutes but they just stared at us and continued to ignore us. We even called their phone and we could hear it ringing but everyone inside just ignored it. Terrible service, terrible employees. We went to the Bowie Laurel location instead. read more

I've come to this location regularly for the last 10 years and this is about as good as it gets in terms of fast food. There's consistency, hot food, friendly service, minimal mistakes, and speed! In the 150+ times I've been here probably have been two errors, the same cannot be said for any fast food competitor. Or even other locations every time I go to the Canton location there's a problem. You can't beat the hours open till 2am every night but Friday and Saturday they are open till 4am. Driving down Snowden River Parkway at about 10:05pm you will see a line around the block for TB, probably because everything else in Columbia closes at 10. Also they've never been out of any major ingredient, kudos to their management (out of lettuce ... looking at you Chipotle). I do wish they'd bring back the chicken taquitos or chicken roll ups!!! So good. read more

I love Taco Bell and this is the closest one to me. They almost never mess up my order and the line even when long normally moves relatively fast. The employees are nice as well. read more
