    OVERALL : Taco Bell has opened their "Live Mas Cafe" concept here at the Unuversity Town Center Irvine! They sell the usual fast food that you'd find at a normal Taco Bell, but with a variety of coffees, refreshers, freezes, etc that are only found at the cafe. The inside was open and clean, with plenty of seating and a "coffee bar" time vibe with bar seating around the counters where they prep the drinks. Plenty of self-service tablets to order on and they call your name when the order is ready for pickup. Our order came out quick! Def nice for a quick pick me up. PARKING : This is located at the UTC Irvine (near UCI) -- there's a parking lot out front! FOOD/DRINKS : Wild strawberry churro chiller - vanilla ice cream base w strawberry syrup and churro crunchies Mexican mocha iced coffee - iced coffee with dark chocolate, cinnamon, and vanilla flavors. With whipped cream and syrup on top. Surprisingly good drinks! Perf for a fun sweet treat that doesn't break the bank. I liked the Mexican mocha iced coffee the most out of the 2 I tried :)

    Checker board with drinks

    Cutest rendition of cafe and Taco Bell. You get the whole Taco Bell menu and more Their drink menu is like having a Dutch Bros in the same shop. The front counter is filled with 10 blenders waiting to prep your orders. Tables are welcoming for you to hangout with friends. Checker boards are laid out on several tables too. You get the coffee shop - bar feeling. Enjoy your ice blended drinks or variety of coffees and sodas. Prices are reasonable too. Many sodas are only $1 Located down the road from UCI in a large strip mall

    Poorly made taco.

    This is the 3rd time that my tacos have come out like this. The only day they look good is on Tuesday, so whoever works on the tacos on Tuesday's you're doing great. Wednesday's and Saturday's...the person working on the tacos just needs to be retrained by the person who does them on Tuesday... I have to ask for extra cheese each time, and I have showed the employees what it looks like and they were apologetic (one time a cashier thought I accidentally clicked no cheese and double checked my order on the register because they couldn't believe how little cheese was on there). Just thought they would understand after 3 times to tell the taco person to not put 15 strands of cheese. Let alone the smaller beef portions, but I pick my battles.

    55 minutes waiting still 3 cars front of my car it's ridiculous

    Absolutely under one star but this opinion not ecx One of the worst Taco Bells I've ever been to. This location on Campus Drive is a total disaster. The staff are rude, lazy, and completely unprofessional. Orders are ALWAYS late -- no matter how simple. They clearly don't care about customer service at all. They take advantage of the fact that most customers are students from UCI -- young people who may not feel comfortable speaking up. It's honestly disgusting how they treat people here. What's shocking is the location. This is Irvine -- one of the cleanest, most respected cities in California -- and this Taco Bell acts like it's in the middle of Compton. No offense to anyone from there, but the way this place is run is just that bad. Go check the reviews -- it's flooded with one-star ratings and complaints. And still, the owner or manager does NOTHING. Either they don't care, or they're just as bad as the staff. It's like they've accepted being terrible. Taco Bell should be ashamed to have their name on this place. Avoid it if you respect your time, money, or basic human decency.

    They will take your money and not give you any food. This is the craziest experience I've ever had in any restaurant... point black period. I have always been patient and understanding, as I have been in the food and service industry myself for years. When I pulled up in the drive thru to pick up my online order, the employee at the drive thru instructed that I wait in their restaurant lobby. I obeyed and parked my car and walked on in. Here is the kicker: I waited 30+ minutes for my order. When I asked for confirmation that my order would still come out after the half hour had passed, they o roceeded to laugh in my face and wondered loudly why I was still there. Mind you, there were people inside the restaurant and out that were patiently waiting as well. Their audible jeers and pointing was so embarassing and not even an ounce respectful. I'm 22 years old with my own apartment and bills to pay. And I wanted a meal to eat tonight and they didn't even bother telling me that my order wouldn't come out. They just kept saying it would eventually come and continued to contribute towards laughing at my plight. Eventually, after waiting a ridiculous amount of time, I just left on my own accord. I probably waited until 3:30 am after I place my order a little before 2:30. Mind you, they were open until 4 today and had the workers confirming their hours over and over again when asked. No sympathy. No human connection. No lack of understanding. I literally lost money and spoke to a person behind the counter telling me to keep waiting. Over and over again. For nothing. I will never come back here again and I hope this business understands the jeapordy they put real people in looking to get a freaking meal to survive. These are college students that want to eat for God's sake. Look at the location. Prime area. Right next to UCI. They stayed open on New Year's Eve this time of day knowing orders would rack in. However, regardless of the targeted population, if something clogged up the orders or business was going way faster than man power could handle, customers would completely understand and accept a valid y such as that. If I was told that it was too much trouble to get to my order today I would have understood and walked away with a refund. It's 2025....just say the app should have closed and online orders should not have gone through. Do NOT make false promises that orders will go through and then laugh at people that wait for the meals they've been promised. LIKE HOW TWO FACED CAN YOU BE? To promise a meal then expect people to give up after waiting half an hour is insulting and ridiculing. And to top it all off it was my fucking birthday. I was born on 12/31/2001. I can show you my drivers license. I ordered my first and last real meal of that day. I could have been fine with everything that went down, but that laughter and rude attitude will forever be engraved in my mind.... especially on a day like today where I could have spent it at home with people who actually cared about spending my birthday with me. I already opened a ticket with the customer service at Taco Bell, and I will be expecting my payment back to my card in full. It would be ridiculous if I did not receive it. I didn't get any of my food! And they confirmed the order??! Like what the heck. If receipts are needed I am happy to provide them. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me and contact me about this situation as I am happy to explain exactly what happened. If Zero stars was a thing I would leave it for the heartless people who left me insecure and sad on my fucking birthday. I asked so many times if my order would be ready and they continued to confirm it would come out at a reasonable time. Yet, it didn't. Figure out what happened that day because I am not the only one filled with promises and empty pockets. You stole a lot of money that day and had too many rude individuals employed. There was a couple that waited an hour. I spoke with them. Embarassing. Sad. Pathetic. Do Better.

    Chesupa, Doritos Locos Tacos and Nacho Bell Grande! Yummy!

    Drive-Thru open during construction! Dining area is not available at this time. Check in a few weeks!

    Nacho Nachos Bell "Grande"

    This is what the Nacho Bell "Grande" looks like now. No more Grande!! Basically just chips with a little cheese and beans and maybe some beef hidden underneath if you're lucky. And all this can be yours for $6.99. Ugh.

    Bean and cheese burrito, always a classic

    Ok, first things first. I haven't been to Taco Bell in literal years. And before we get into the details, was it bomb yet underwhelming at the same time? Of course. It's Taco Bell. You come to Taco Bell expecting just that and they deliver, you can't be mad at it lol I went through the drive through for my order, and the first thing I noticed was that they have an AI interface at their order speaker, I was impressed not gonna lie lol I had already placed a mobile order so the second I noted I had a mobile order a real life human came on the speaker and asked me to pull up (AI was short lived but still cool lmao) I ordered a little bit of everything (which is ironic because we know everything at Taco Bell is same same but different haha) My order was as follows: Crunchwrap supreme Beefy 5 layer burrito Cheesy fiesta potatoes Soft tacos (GOAT no matter what anyone says) Doritos locos taco Bean and cheese burrito Chalupa supreme (another GOAT) Chips and cheese Baja Blast Zero (I think this is new? I don't rameee there being a zero option before but I am here. For. It.) The employee at the window was super friendly. My order was correct with no misses. And I was given more than enough sauce to actually suffice for all my items! Also- the drive through at this location was the widest I've ever seen (you could legit pull up 2 cars side by side with ample room) and for some reason this really elevated my experience lol Overall solid 4 stars, Taco Bell always hits, and if you have the app and catch one of their promos, they're a really good value as well!!

It is next to a gas station. It looks like a pretty popular place during the lunch hour. It's a smaller place inside, but they do have an outdoor patio. We were able to find a small table, not too far from the front counter. Ordering at the front was easy. The staff was friendly and quick. We could see the cook grilling up the meats as we placed our order. There were at least five different salsas to choose from as well as cucumbers and a chili oil at the self-serve salsa bar. I noticed a customer in front of us ordered a kids plate which included two street tacos and rice and beans. That's what I ended up ordering with Carne Asada and chorizo. There were four or five proteins to choose from for the kids plate. I loved the grilled meats with the char flavor. It was delicious! Everything was well seasoned. I wish I would've ordered a third or maybe even a fourth taco because it was that good! I will definitely come back many times and it's going to be on our lunch rotation for sure.

Great flavor and very authentic tasting was her comment. Now the street tacos flavor was good. But the chop meat was so fine I felt like a baby being fed steak. Bigger bites people!
