Was way out in Goleta passing by TB and couldn't resist. Easy parking, a super-clean dining room, and friendly service. They will still make me an Enchirito... so good--regular crunchy taco, always a hit -- and a traditional Burrito Supreme. I have yet to try anything else ever. The soda fountain was malfunctioning and was unable to get the best Fountain Pepsi with lots of ice. The reason I'm giving 4 stars is that it's extremely expensive for what it is. Anyways... on my way home for some Alka-Seltzer, lol. read more

I mean... it's a Taco Bell. They don't f*ck up my order much and it's always done pretty quickly. What more could you ask for. read more

I had a great experience here today so I wanted to write a review! We decided to stop by taco bell after a long day at work and walked in to see these adorable drawings on our cups. The food was made to order and fresh like usual here, and the inside was kept neat and clean. But these drawings made my day and I saw the employee making them (young man with glasses and a hat) on all of the togo cups, and even switched to a white pen for the dark drinks! He was also looked very on top of the other work around the store like taking care of the trash and cleaning the tables. I hope he knows that his cute artwork is very appreciated! read more

Wouldn't give me the sauces I ordered because it's "for breakfast only." Mind you, never had I ever got denied FREE SAUCES just because it "wasn't the right time of day." read more

the one thing I wanted was the Grande Nachos with beef, brought it home and the box had no beef in it! SMH!!

The burritos are FANTASTIC and so are the tacos! I like the soft taco best cause it tastes like candy! P.S. every 100 views, I'll post 5 more reviews. See ya!! read more

They got our order mixed up, then we brought it up and they assured us it was corrected. We took the food home and it was STILL wrong. This time we went they couldn't be bothered to fill the freeze all the way, not sure if that's a management or owner decision but it's a terrible one. read more

Judge me all you want. Yes, I'm writing a Yelp review for Taco Bell. Why? They need love to! Although it is a chain, all of the employees are local and deserve props too. Not to mention, I love the food when I have an empty stomach or had a late night out. This is my go-to location--just don't get it confused with the Hollister (and Fairview) Taco Bell. I can place my order on the handy-dandy app, hop in the car, and have my order ready by the time I arrive 5 minutes later. Now they have installed mobile order parking spots in front and a shelving unit to pick up your food that make it even more convenient! They are truly the definition of efficient. Thanks for keeping me going, Taco Bell! read more

Taco Bell - Now mobile ordering parking spots right up front! - Fast Food Near Me - Goleta, California

$5 for a taco, burrito supreme and a drink! Tasty and they didn't skimp on the portions! Friendly fella at the counter... Cheap eats! read more

The service was fast. My burrito was good but everything was coming out of it making a big mess.

OK let's start by saying How bad of an experience we just had here. You can only order from the kiosk, and if you have any questions good luck getting any eye contact or any help at all. When I finally got my order and it was wrong, got nothing but attitude and said we ordered it wrong. Maybe that's true, but isn't the customer always right or at least not make them feel bad? So I had to reorder and toss first taco. We will never come here again and to think these guys get paid $20 an hour is an insult to those who do more and make less. Train your people to be helpful and kind to the customer. read more

I went in for the first time 3 days ago and ordered the Mexican Pizza because I had some of it from someone in L.A. and it was great. As soon as I opened the box, the smell was old and unappealing, however, I had to eat some of it as I was on my way to work and out of time to go anywhere else. The tortillas were fossilizing and the filling was sketchy. It jacked up my system for that day and the next. I called the next day and spoke with Luz who confirmed I could come in for a refund. The clowns that worked there did everything they could to do to NOT provide me a refund. They were so rude and ignorant, it was actually shocking. The main person was Jose, he's young and the one who is always bagging up the trash. He's also a cashier, who does everything he can to avoid ringing up or helping anyone at the register. The other on is an older dude named Pedro. Just as rude and ignorant and works in the back. I'll be following up with Luz tomorrow when she's back in the store. Don't eat here, the food is horrible and the customer service doesn't exist, the people who work there have no class or manners, it's a mess. Call it Taco Hell! read more

The food equivalent to a bad drunken decision. Some people don't need to be drunk to make this bad mistake. I like this Taco Bell, especially at night. It's pretty dead and there's plenty of parking. Employees seem to "get" that you don't know what you're doing because you're overwhelmed by the faux mexican options. Smothered burrito was surprisingly good. Don't trust anyone who won't eat Taco Bell. read more

Not often I feel compelled to review a Taco Bell, but damn! This food was great!!!! 10:30pm on a Friday and they made it fast, with forever proportions and very fresh. It's still Taco Bell, don't expect miracles, but five stars for this Taco Bell! If Taco Bell was consistently this fresh and well prepped, I'd eat there a lot more!!! read more

I really like Taco Bell food and live really close to TB on Fairview near Calle Real. But service there has been getting worse and worse: last time I went it was so bad, went back today and will never go to that location again. Staff are utterly rude, unhelpful, stand around chatting while people wait, make no attempt to get orders right, and overcharge without hesitation. NEVER going back read more

Angry for being charged $1 donation without being asked! What does the money go to? Very sneaky for not telling me. Is this what TacoBell wants to be known for? Sadly, my food order was quite strange. Ordered Combo #7: quesadilla & taco. Asked for chicken quesadilla & chicken taco. I got the quesadilla, shredded chicken taco &..& a beef taco. I don't eat beef! Why didn't the cashier Judith review the order with me to clarify I wanted two tacos? She didn't charge me either for the taco. So Judith charged me for a $1 donation & added a taco to my order for free. The food wasn't good :( I tried the shredded chicken taco and the chicken was pretty bland and not flavorful.. had to spit it out :( Didn't eat the beef taco, I don't eat beef. Quesadilla was decent. Don't charge people money without notifying them!! Shame on you Taco Bell! I left a review on their feedback site, tellthebell.com as well. read more

5 stars for this Taco Bell ONLY because one thing: **ARTHUR'S CUSTOMER SERVICE WAS OVER THE TOP, VERY PROFESSIONAL AND ENGAGING!!!!** I was hesitant to return to this location after my prior experience. This was around the same time of night (about 9:30 pm.) There was no sauce AT ALL, all of the sodas were out and I rarely drink soda, it came with the box I had ordered. The worst part was the cashier's customer service and overall demeanor. I normally don't include this in my reviews.. The cashier this night was very disheveled and lacked proper professionalism. Furthermore, she did not get my order correct because of the lack of communication.. (??) Maybe she was just tired from a long shift. ANYWAYS. ARTHUR had customer service 11/10. He made jokes, UPSOLD more items to our order, his personality and quirkiness made ordering at Taco Bell not just a trip to Taco Bell. He made our 4 minute adventure all more enjoyable. I can say for myself and my girlfriend that we will be very upset if Arthur is not managing! This employee DESERVES and NEEDS TO BE RECOGNIZED for his HARD WORK and POSITIVE ATTITUDE! read more

This Taco Bell is something else. The workers are passive aggressive. I asked if the order was mine and they responded with "They've been calling some name out so it must be yours" with attitude but I didn't want to take some order if I didn't know what the bag contained. I also ordered a drink and that bag didn't have one so.. When I asked for my orange juice I held out my left hand and the guy purposely handed it on the opposite side like he was messing with me. I didn't appreciate this as it was early in the morning. They also passive aggressively told my friends the restroom code when asked and didn't give their drinks with their order as well. read more

Love Taco Bell for the quick service and good food. When you step up the cashier, know what you want and how you want it. Check the print out of the check you paid for; to be sure it is correct. Wait a few seconds for your order and enjoy. Today was no exception the above RULES. German took my order, Arthur made it and I got my drink in less than a minute. Great food. Done the way I wanted it. read more

Horrible service missing items lady behind the counter was rude dont recommended coming here AT ALL !

We had been on the road driving and decided all we wanted was something fast for dinner. We love some of Taco Bell items so when we saw this one we stopped. Our order was for 2 enchiritos and 2 taco supremes. The taco supreme orders were just as expected and very good. However, the enchiritos were different than what we had always had elsewhere. There was very little cheese on top and a totally different sauce was used. It definitely was lacking and not as good as those served at other Taco Bell restaurants. Since that is one of our favorite food items to order, we probably would bypass this Taco Bell and travel on to the next one. Employee was very nice and super friendly .... thus the extra star. read more

Let's assume you are on Yelp and your looking at Mexican Food. Are you from Angola? Timbuktu? The North Poke? No? Didn't think so. It's TACO BELL. It's the same one in your town. Grab a chalupa and chill out. We're done here. read more

When I want food quickly and service in a hurry; this is my "go to fast food supplier" I have received the wrong order; once; it was still a good meal. The manager replaced the order; free; the next time I was in; with NO problem. If you expect instant service at NOON ; forget it. If there are twelve people in line; be patient. Do NOT be rude and ruin everyone else's day. We will be back again and again and again. Three of us ate at this Taco Bell yesterday. Walked in one person ahead of us; at 11:45. Ordered; filled our drinks; the order was delivered and 100% correct including extra napkins; before we were able to find a seat. Way to go Taco Bell! read more

Clean, super fast, only thing is it doesn't have a drive thru but I think in this case it actually is a good thing as there isn't anything else to distract the staff. The staff are attentive always taking time to clean and the food comes out exactly the way I orders every time. I always leave here with a smile and that's not usually the case after I visit a Taco Bell but not so here! read more

A taco with no cheese and a seven layer burrito with only four layers, missing cheese, avocado and tomato and very little sour cream. By far the worst Taco Bell experience i have had in town. Nice new building though. Guess there trying to pay for it one ingredient at a time. Sad that I've been coming to this location for years and this is what progress brings us. read more

Taco Bell - Wheres the Cheese? - Fast Food Near Me - Goleta, California

This is by far THE WORSE BUSINESS IN GOLETA,CA. I ordered one bean n cheese burrito. Two ppl ahead if me six behind. Everyone's orders filled n I'm still waiting. I ask for help from the manager, tell her I ordered ONE BEAN N CHEESE BURRITO - she tells me they helping other customers. I complain a little louder cuz no one can hear with masks on ! They deliver more orders n FINALLY I get my One Burrito n leave. Their excuse was someone probably took my order. YEAH RIGHT Driving home I find the wrong burrito in my bag, but I ate it cuz I'm hungry. This happened three weeks ago, same thing, one BnC burrito, long wait, finally delivered. Taco Bell needs to review the service provided by this location. I would rate lower but 1 star is lowest. DONT WASTE UR TIME AT THIS LOCATION - go the one on Hollister n Fairview read more

Poor customer service from white male in the morning. Doesnt wear a name tag, so I dont know his name. (Lets not get pc about this) Decides to talk on the phone to someone on how hes thinking about leaving out of the city for the weekend. (This all happening while customers are waiting to order) Once i get to order, he proceeds to give me some sort of attitude. To be honest im just bothered how someone can be miserable this early lol its 10am Like jeez you dont even need to smile, just be polite This new renovation is nice though and so are the rest of the employees read more

I ordered 2 chalupas and a soft taco. What I got instead was 2 quesarito's. They filled it with sour cream and nothing else. Disgusting. Worst quesarito in town, and I didn't even order it. Edit: After close inspection, I didn't get any quesarito's, they were actually 2 bean burritos, no soft taco. I got charged for something I never received. read more

It is back open with a new building. The building has a great new layout with much improved access for both cars and people. Previously friendly staff is gone. Manager used to work to improve staff customer performance. Now that manager is gone and I am often great with a I will be with you in a few minutes sort of I am busy greeting. Food is also put up on the counter and just left until you wonder what happened to my food. If you want a clean table, you can get a napkin and clean it yourself. Let's hope that improves because they are not making use of the great new venue. read more

This Taco Bell is like, the king of all Taco Bell's. I'm not even joking. They make everything so perfectly. The distribution of cheese, beans, rice and sauce in my cheesy bean and rice burrito was impressive. ALL THINGS IN EVERY BITE! Taco Bell University, indeed. read more

Oh taco bell. I used to come in here 3 times a week when I worked in Goleta during my lunch breaks. I should have just packed a lunch. It would have been healthier sure, but there would be no chalupas and bean and cheese burritos with fire sauce to make you feel like you could handle the heat lol. The staff are wonderful people and are very nice. I feel like I came in so much I should have been on a first name basis with all of them. Oh well. I will definitely come back when I am in town, just for the nostalgia and kicks. Someone stole my dukedom from this place, which IS HILARIOUS. There is someone besides me who loves this place more. My hats of to your sir or maam. Thank you taco bell for making my childhood amazing. -Tej read more

They are now open again! This place looks great inside! Much better than it previously was. The store is a bit smaller but there is more seating. The staff is friendly and the food has been tasty. Check out the new store! read more

Charged twice. I was told to use digital ordering system to order and pay. The digital kiosk did not give me a receipt to show proof of purchase. Then 5 minutes later told they didn't get my order so I needed to order at the counter. Both charges appeared on my credit card. read more

15 minute wait for ordering 3 items on the menu when the restaurant has maybe 5 customers sitting at tables? Sorry that is so 1990. I wouldn't recommend this Taco Bell if you're in a hurry. read more

Horrendous customer service, employee with the big stache was incredibly rude. I'd avoid this location for the far better one on Hollister.

My kids love the place. The remodel makes it much more enjoyable. The outdoor patio is comfortable and a great way to chill out at the end of the day. read more

Arthur is the best!!!! He brought my phone all the way to my car when I lost it! He deserves a raise! Thanks Arthur :)

I love Taco Bell, this location is nice, it's close to my work so sometimes when I don't go home I come here, it's clean and the set up is nice! They remodeled this place and it's different from when it used to be, a bit smaller but it works! The windows could use cleaning! Other than that it's a nice place to eat whenever! read more

Manager was a bitch. I asked if they had a taco i ordered in there and the employees looked as well as me. She came over pulled it showed me and gave me the bitchiest look and then grunted and walked off all pissed off. I said sorry to the guys up front. I gave three stars because the guys up front were nice and handled it professionall.y read more
