it's a taco bell. anyone rating this place poorly is probably showing up in the middle of summer or during a busy time in the winter. AKA a tourist. The food is excellent and comes out in a timely manner. I can't promise what happens on July 4 which is probably an absolute disaster, but nothing to do with the service or the people at this Taco Bell. Everything to do with the crappy people who decide to visit a place on a holiday like that. tourists ruin a lot of good places - even Taco Bell read more

They are so fast! and so nice here at Taco Bell! The workers are awesome! And the vibes are just great! Amazing lighting

Best taco bell i've ever had my burrito wasn't 80% tortilla 20% dried up beans it tasted freshly made and full

How this broken-grease-hood-smelling-hallway of a Taco Bell survives is by slowly putting out sub par things and being the only fast food for ten miles. Took 20 minutes and that's with the order at kiosk. Go to the burrito place nearby and avoid the stomach cramps. read more

Thank you Veronica and Leonardo for giving us a good start to our late morning. We appreciate the hard work you've put into customer care. Being so early in the morning the staff was very friendly and at the top of their game. We have claimed this the best Taco Bell between Reno, Carson, & Truckee. The order was 100% correct, they didn't hold back on making the food full, and the flavor didn't taste like the food was old (like most Taco Bells) read more

I paid $75 in food and they went and locked the bathroom and refused to let me pee. When I pay $75 that is so rude and disrespectful.

Great service and food , better than most other Taco Bell's !! Could be a little cleaner in dining room area but it's Tahoe !

Went there on Saturday (06/26), at 10:30 am. Yelp said they were open but when I pulled in the drive through, I sat there for a good 4 minutes before I drove to the window/ there were 3 other cars behind me. I pulled up to the window and the girl at the window said they don't until 11 am. Parking lot, area by the speaker and menu sign is overgrown with weeds. Glad I left. read more

It's rare to leave Taco Bell with a smile on your face but this one was so nice! The cashier yesterday evening (6/2) was so sweet. And I swear they must use different beans cause they tasted better lol. The food was just really nicely put together and hot and fresh. Thank you! read more

I have never been so disappointed in a local company! When I knocked on the door the employee looked at me and dismiss me immediately. As a local professional I would personally be embarrassing and Appalled at a staff so poorly run! I hope that this location can truly adhere by normal hours and be properly run by a true owner! It was embarrassing! read more

Taco Bell - Fast Food Near Me - Kings Beach, California

This is the only franchise fast food location located in the downtown of Kings beach. Every time I come to Tahoe my friends always have a craving for Taco Bell and this is where we go. The prices are reasonable, and you can also order Slushies here. There isn't much parking for this location however if you're walking around downtown you can feel free to park at the beach location then walk over. The seating is very limited in this location however you can always take it to go and walk to the beach or the nearby playground to consume your food there. Overall I think the location needs some tidying up, the location isn't as clean as you want it to be. read more

Hi guys I love taco bell but they hated us. I just wanted a quesorito ... and they gave me a quesadillazz which is NOT what I ordered. If you know the menu figure it out. read more

Okay, so I live in a town that only has ONE fast-food restaurant, a Subway's. The next nearest fast-food restaurant is this Taco Bell, which is a 15-minute drive from my house. Good thing, because only if I am starving and happen to be passing by this place and my blood sugar is dropping and I'm not thinking properly and I only have a few bucks in my pocket do I come here. How does one really rate Taco Bell? It's the kind of fast food that eventually kills people with its unidentifiable meat products, plastic cheeses and bizarre food combinations. IT'S SO DAMN BAD, IT'S GOOD. Good if you are desperate. Good if you have 10 minutes to eat. Good if you only have $5 in your pocket. read more

Hands down the best Taco Bell experience ever. I would give it 6 stars if I could. Quick and friendly staff! They didn't forget a single item and loaded up the sauce. Thank you taco gods. This was heaven. read more

This is a Taco Bell express located right off the beach. Hence the menu is going to be a bit limited. The interior is rather small. Service was a bit slow but otherwise fine. read more

Always fast and tasty food. Love taco bell! They always give me sauce and plenty of napkins!

I ordered via app and when I went to pick it up, I was told they never received the order and they were closing early so they couldn't make my order. I attempted to contact corporate to get my money back, but no response. I came back in a week later and Veronica was AWESOME. She was fast, professional and fulfilled my order within 5 minutes. The food was hot, well made and delicious. read more

Food and service was good only thing Open past 6 but smelled like burning electronics

I thought this Taco Bell served really good food! My friend and I ate here several times while in King's Beach and each time it was hot and fresh. read more

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeew! Taco Bell is so nasty. I know an ex-owner of several Wendy's franchises who told me that Taco Bell would come by every so often and pick up all the meat that had spoiled. A few hours boiling in hydrogenated repeatedly re-used oils, application of synthetic flavorings and who knows what else apparently makes it edible. Eating at Taco Bell = Barfing later. read more

I actually like taco bell. but this was very disappointing. They were missing half of the regular menu and it seemed to take forever to get the orders ready. There was a HUGE crowd of folks waiting for their food. The chips and taco shells were stale and all of my friends and I felt so sick afterwards. Doesn't the Taco Police regulate on franchises like this? read more

Taco Bell - Half empty menu - Fast Food Near Me - Kings Beach, California

I encountered the most rudest and racist worker here. My nieces and I were on our way to sand harbor for the day. We saw that taco bell by kings Beach had people going in and out so I asked if the girls wanted to check if it was open. We walked up to the front door as a white older bald man closed the door and locked us out. I asked through the window if they were open. Instead of saying "I'm sorry, we aren't opened yet" he turned around and said "we aren't open, stupid dumbass!". I was so dumbfounded it threw me back. I said "wow, you're rude! I just asked if you guys were open". WOW! Did he need to call us names? That was uncall for. Could have just said, "we aren't open yet". That's all. I've encountered all nice people in Tahoe till this dude. I'm going to give this taco bell a call today to either let the manager or whoever know that; that was uncall for and he needs customer training. I'm so upset at how he acted. I wish I had gone back to look at his name. read more

I can get over the fact that this is a Taco Bell "Express" meaning they have half a menu, which does NOT include the most delicious Taco Bell item ever, the chalupa (are you serious?). What I can't get over is how obnoxious the two women working here were. There were three of us, all of whom ordered a meal with a drink. Something was off with the fountain soda machine which was causing it to produce the most disgusting soda ever. Not like when one kind of soda has run out of syrup and it's only spitting out carbonated water. But like when something makes every single kind of soda taste horrible (we tried them all). When I told the women working that something was up, they totally gave us the 'tude. The first woman said, "sorry, that's all we have." And then after I complained some more the other woman said, "oh, ok, I'll fix something." And she proceeded to not do anything. Ridiculous! I hate you Taco Bell of Kings Beach. read more

I can't believe there's a Taco Bell in town, less than a block from two decent Mexican restaurants. Come on, Ski America. I know all about the comfort of the familiar, but the only thing you know about Taco Bell is that it's going to be bad. Do I have to actually eat a taco here to prove how bad it is? Okay, I know, reviewer ethics. I'll suck up and eat a taco for the team. One saving grace is that the local KFC franchise is a separate building a couple blocks away. Thank god because when KFC and Taco Bell get together they start to breed. read more

Taco Bell is Taco Bell is Taco Bell... but THIS Taco Bell has great people working there. Cashiers are very friendly (some of the only cashiers in the fast-food industry that smile constantly!), and the cooks make your order when you order it (not ahead of time!) which means the food it HOT! I have never had a bad experience at this Taco Bell in particular and I love having a simple, fast, cheap, and delicious meal in Kings Beach. Thanks guys! Long live Kings Beach Taco Bell! read more

Let's face it. I'm not a "local" by any means. But I do visit the entire Tahoe area often. Winter as well as in the summer. A regular for the last 30 years. What does this have to do with Taco Bell? Probably not a lot to many of the locals. But to me and some folks from the greater SF Bay Area, it might make more sense. Why do I give North Shore Taco Bell, "NSTB" such high rankings? Because it does what it does perfectly. It does not have gourmet Mexican food. When I walk inside I don't feel like i'm in a hacienda. I can't even be certain that the menu has one Hispanic word. (oops! Even the term Hispanic can be questioned) But I don't go to Taco Bell because I want a stamp on my passport. I go there to get six Taco Supremes or a Pintos and Cheese with a scoop of ground beef. And of course, a Pepsi and a fist full of Hot sauce. Then I drive my Nissan Armada to the parking lot across the street, spool up Pandora on my Android and mack out on the cheap grub while staring out across the magical Lake Tahoe. Perfect! And this past weekend of decent snow boarding at Diamond Peak, all I wanted was some tacos to soothe my battered old body. Taco Bell is Taco Bell. Nothing more. If you want gourmet then look else where. But your North Shore gourmet Mexican food will never be a good as the taquerias in the San Francisco Mission District. But that isn't a fair comparison. Right? read more

I spent $30 here and they refused to let me go pee in their restroom they said they want to keep it clean so it is for employees only.

it's a 4 and 3/4. They just remodeled. The store looks great. The employees are fantastic. The only thing that holds it back from five stars is that it doesn't have a restroom. read more

Service was terrible. Not sure if the young man didn't care or what but he wasn't paying attention to anything. We had to repeat our order many times and he still didn't care. Just shrugged it off. Signs were missing from the menu. I saw him making his own food with bare hands from the restaurants supply. He was then eating and drinking behind the counter helping guest with a full mouth. read more

I went to Taco Bell today. The line was at the door. Three customers were verbally abusive to the employees and they remained fast and professional. I got my food in the expected time, and it was well done. The proportions were perfect, and it was well wrapped. Despite the hostile work environment provided by the customers, the employees held their heads high, and did their job with pride. Much respect. read more

Just changed hours to 10PM. In line with every other place in town. If you're the only joint open until 11 and you change your hours to 10, people are gonna be annoyed. Where the f else am I gonna go on the way home from a beer league softball game that ends after 10? I'm looking for shitty/tasty burritos and tacos. And when I can't go there, it's rather annoying. Open back up to 11 you nerds. read more

Yelpers, please understand something: this is a Taco Bell Express. In reading the other reviews, it seems that customers forget they are entering a Taco Bell. If you don't like the food, don't go! As for this particular location, it is sandwiched into a tight spot with very little signage. Given it's size, it cannot support the deep fryers needed for the Chalupa (sad, but true). However, with very little quick service options in town, this place rocks it. Very supportive of the local community (the business helps the Boys and Girls Clubs, local schools at the NTBA), this little store is a wonderful option for cheap eats on the go. read more

In my personal opinion, it is sad to see chain restaurants moving into North Shore, especially King's Beach... one of the few places that hasn't been over-developed and still has that old Tahoe feel. But in all fairness, the place has probably been there for 15 years now. Back in my younger days, I loved it being there (back then, their quesidellas were amazing. These days, they have lost the magic... but at the time, I couldn't get enough). Now I see it as more of a scar on ol' Kings Beach's glorious mug. If you're hanging out around there and are craving some Mexican food, don't bother. There are many small Mexican restaurants within walking distance that are just as fast and offer much better food. Don't sell yourself short... you didn't come to Tahoe for the chain restaurants, did you? read more

At some of the tables they had water all over them from leaking air conditioner and the food was very messy and they had no public restroom and they also got my order wrong read more

People need to remember this is a Taco Bell Express, they don't have everything. But when it's late at night and you need a quick dinner its a great place. The food is always fresh, order is always right, they make it right in front of you and everyone is always nice. For a quick cheap meal it's the place to go. There isn't any other fast food around but this also does it :) read more

If we are rating this particular Taco Bell in comparison to all other Taco Bells and not against other legitimate Mexican restaurants (which, you fools, Taco Bell is clearly NOT) this location is on the top of my scale when compared to the countless other fine T-Bell establishments I've honored with my patronage. Since it's an express, you see the food prep area, which is a rarity in the fast food world. If you watch closely, you will observe that each and every item is made TO ORDER! No premade tacos waiting for their new owners for 45 minutes. Plus service is on point. These ladies are cheerful as fuck. And this is just...highly unusual in that line of work. I speak from experience. Obviously. read more

Denied bathroom even if your a paying customer.. your told to use the park across the street or walk down the road to the gas station... even though they clearly have an available rest room in the lobby. read more

The people who work here are always so nice and courteous. Love the food. Just wish this one would please have Mexican Pizzas. My only complaint. :) read more

Yeah yeah yeah it was Taco Bell quality food. Normal fast food. The biggest issue was the filth and dirtiness of the sitting area, soda station, and condiments. read more
