This might be the cleanest Taco Bell I have been in. You have to order at kiosk. Have I mentioned in past reviews how much I despise that? Otherwise, order was correct. There was a gentleman that may have been on break; he greeted us, had a great smile, and said goodbye when we left. I wish I had his name. The burrito I ordered was filled with meat, unlike the Tehachapi location that scrimps most of the time. Nice location! 8/8/25 read more

This is becoming our favorite spot in town for a Friday night dinner. It's affordable, the menu is fun, and the people who work here are pretty great. It seems well-managed and we always feel welcomed. I love to eat dinner at a place where the employees are free to be themselves, have a personality, and are empowered to be accommodating and personable. Thanks, Taco Bell! read more

Very slow, it's not even that busy. The employees only focus on the drive through and forget about the customers in the lobby.

We like the food here however, some of their staff leave much to be desired. We very rarely get to go inside to sit down, and yes it is fast food...however if you insisted that you needed $16 an hour please make sure you're worth it. We asked for a rag to wipe down a booth, and we weren't rude. As someone who has lots of years of experience in the food industry and a son that works in the industry right now, we both know that front of the house is everyone's job. The not so young lady that wiped our table off was snide and told us that the whole place was dirty so why were we worried about this one booth? Um, if it's all dirty that means that you're not doing your job. And we weren't rude to you we asked for it to do it ourselves as we saw that you were busy. So I think I will continue to just run my kids through the drive thru on the few times every 3 months or so that they decide they want TB. And sadly my food wasn't made right...oh well...they were busy and they tried...they at least got my sons right. That's all that mattered... read more

I'm in town for the week and decided to get something to eat. I ordered a bean burrito with extra red sauce. They charged me $.70 for the extra red sauce. I never heard of such a thing. Food was not hot. Could've been better. I went through the drive-through. The guy didn't offer me any hot sauce. So I left and I got back to my hotel and realized I didn't have any hot sauce. What a bummer. read more

This Taco Bell gets great marks based almost entirely on how nice the person at the front counter was. She was friendly, pleasant, and efficient despite the restaurant being quite busy during the post-church lunch rush. The restaurant was clean and bright, and we got our food quickly -- with all our special requests filled correctly. I'm not a huge Taco Bell fan, but this one really impressed me. read more

Food was typical Taco Bell. We enjoyed our meal. What we liked best is you could still order from a real person. We hate the electronic displays. They take too long and don't have everything on the menu. All Taco Bell's are not like this. Some you only have the display ordering. We walk out on those going somewhere else. I am glad our local one still has a real person to order from. read more

ROBERT OMG he knows the true meaning of excellent customer service. He remembers your name and even your order!! He's always cleaning and has a big smile on his face. The restaurant is always clean and the food is delicious! Even when the line is super long in the drive thru, they still serve you fast in the lobby. We keep returning for more read more

You people did not give us hot sauce even though we paid for it. I'm boycotting you!

One of the better taco bells that I have been to. Orders are always correct, service is good, and dining area is clean.

Girl and guy working the windows at lunch were so friendly and deserve a raise. Order was correct. For a Taco Bell you really can't ask for more. read more

You are not telling the truth about your hours. You closest 9 pm on Sunday Fix your website read more

Today I went to Taco Bell and ordered with one of their kiosks. It asked for my name so I typed Voldemort onto the touchscreen. My food is ready and the guy announcing the names said "to the character who's name shall not be spoken." I graciously picked up my food and celebrated with some fresh Baja blast. Easily a five star experience and 50 points for Gryffindor. I will be back. This is how I "Live Más." read more

food is yummy service is awesome Ambiance is probably the nicest in town read more

Taco Bell tried to double charge me at about 8pm on 26 apr 2024. I order 2 chicken quesadillas. After I placed my order, I was told to go to the first window and pay and I did. Then I was told to go to the next window to get my food. I was told by the girl who was working at that window that I needed to pay again. I said that I already paid at the first window. She said that I didn't. I show both her and the on duty manager the copy of the receipt of the order. They both claimed that I didn't pay. Because I used by debit card, I checked my bank account, the money was taken out of my bank account. They took my money and didn't give me my food. I did file a fraud transaction with my bank and I also went to the local police department to file a police report. read more

Really good Taco Bell. Never seem to have any issues with my order which is very odd compared to other Taco Bells. Now if only they could stop changing their menu every week. read more

I don't understand what the problem is here, I've wasted more money than I'd like on the staff getting my order wrong and not wanting to eat it. Probably 9/10 time I come here they get at least 1 item wrong on my order. What part of no sour cream is so hard to understand? read more

Today we took our special needs clients in for lunch! The gentleman taking our order named Robert was kind and patient !! Probably one of the cleanest and most quick fast food experiences I've ever had!! Everything was great!! Keep up the good work. read more

The workers here are worthless! They can never get my order right. Now, on my latest visit my drink was so full when I put the straw in it spilled over onto my work clothes. Still at the window I asked for napkins for my sticky hands and clothes. The guy at the window was being super slow and talking to a coworker. Good think I asked for napkins cuz there was none in my bag nor was there sauce, when they just confirmed at the window. Oh! By the way it was an online order in which I requested everything I needed. read more

I'm just going to keep it simple and say that I've made weird requests... including asking for a giant bag of ice multiple times (cuz summer temps get up to 117 degrees) and they always come through lol. BEST THING is they are VERY DIVERSE with who they hire and LOVE THAT... and I'm not talking about ethnicity... think beyond. This whole town is great I love this city lol. read more

Believe it or not, this Taco Bell is a step above all other Taco Bells that I've experienced. I came through around 11:30 at night, needed some food to make it possible to drive another hour, and settled on a cheesy gordita crunch, Mountain Dew Baja Blast, and a beef/potato burrito. The food came out the drive thru quickly and I was on my way. They provided plenty of hot sauces. The food was the same as it is at every taco bell, but somehow better. I have no idea how to explain this. Try it yourself, get an item that you've had at another Taco Bell and compare...it's a strange thing. With lots of food and drink I was ready to continue my journey and did so. Thanks Taco Bell! read more

Staff is super friendly, orders weren't messed up (that happens a lot at other locations) and food comes out hot! Taco Bell flavor with a warming drive thru experience due to the staff. Give them a raise! read more

Just took a snowboard trip with 6 guys. We went 25 minutes out of our way to stop here. Truly the NICEST Taco Bell we have EvER been too. I don't know why we talked about it so much but the food was very well made and all the employees were incredibly friendly. Nicely done! read more

This taco bell location is hands down the best fast food chain in ridgecrest, next to the micky D's. They offer fast service, and always good quality fast food (as far as fast food quality goes). The staff roatates often, but still very friendly. The inside is clean and spacious, while the drive through line can often get crowded at times, but gets the job done fast. I enjoy coming to this location, as i eat taco bell often, ot used to. 10/10 read more

I am very disappointed! I was so excited to come to Taco Bell to get the nacho fries I was informed there was no cheese (idk why cause I got cheese) but I still got them after I left the drive through they forgot all the fries when I went back they gave me my bag of fries and this is how I opened it up they were everywhere not even in the boxes they also didn't make my food how I asked It's ridiculous how little they care and it wasn't like they were in a rush there was only 2 cars in the drive through If I could give a Zero I would! read more

Taco Bell Is slowly going down hill. Don't Kno if the person making the food before is still there because I have to go down in stars. The food had less filling and dry not worth it. Made me want to not go back. Whatever the change was a bad one read more

Fast service and kind staff. Our seat was hard to access from the soda fountain because the tables were too close to each other. Loaded grillers are $1.99 here instead of $1.59 like they are at other establishments. Bathrooms were clean and eating area was as well. read more

Service and food quality has dropped. It used to be one of the best taco bells I've been too and now they serve stale shells and sloppy orders. read more

Very good service here every time I've been here. Sometimes at the drive through and sometimes eating in the dining room. I would recommend them to anyone. read more

Best Taco Bell I've ever been to. The customer service is on a whole other level. The staff is always cheerful, fun and welcoming. Food always comes out fast and it's a great value read more

i never thought in my 10 years of yelp life that i will ever write a review on Taco Bell. i guess living off of civilization for a few years does wonders. i am not a fan of taco bell, never was, never will be, don't visit here too often food, but only for drinks. but every time, food has been consistently good (or what i expected), warm, served right, and most importantly, crew here from cashier to cook look like they care about customers and food. i know i would probably get rocks thrown at me for calling taco bell items "food", as they should be called "product", but i think any restaurants, if things are done right or at least they are done as they are supposed to, they should be commended. if there is any down side to this place, one is the fact that this place is called taco bell, and sometimes fried items could be overly greasy and oil tastes pretty old at times. overall, i recommend here for taco bell treat at this location, you will be greeted with smile and good taco bell food. (not that you have any other fucking choice 90 miles radius of any direction, hahahahaa) read more

They've improved since our last visit. Food hot and made correctly. Friendly staff and clean restaurant. Mornings seem to be the better time to visit this Taco Bell. If you want a crowd visit when Burroughs takes their lunch break. read more

Stopped here for lunch on the road. I'm a fan of the triple double crunch wrap, from time to time it can be soggy but it wasn't here. The cravings menu (value menu) is also a safe bet and you'll get fair portions for the dollar and change items. Great experience here, even a decent playlist! read more

Came by the drive through to pick up lunch for work, mind you it's midnight, i work graveyard.. i order 2 tacos with shredded chicken, another box desk with shredded chicken.. i get to work attempt to eat lunch then i look in the taco, there is literally 1 piece of shredded chicken meat, i check the other tacos, same thing.. addy this point I've paid an extra $1.40 on each taco for the shredded beef upgrade.. not only did they rip me off, i don't have anything to eat for lunch, really pissed me off.. i called and spoke to the manager Ashley and she stated she could fix the situation and give me a refund, hate to break it to you but im not eating lunch tonight, how are you fixing that? Your not! How about starting by educating and training your employees on how to put shredded chicken in tacos it's not rocket science. I will not be spending my money at this taco bell and as a matter of fact i will boycott Taco bell indefinitely ! read more

Taco Bell - This is what an upgrade with chicken looks like - Fast Food Near Me - Ridgecrest, California

We've been to way too many Taco Bells, but this has to be the best one. Every time we've gone, it's been Taco Bell food at its best. No burned beans, stale tortillas or messed up orders. When going through the drive thru, they confirm your order 3 times: at the drive up speaker thingy (that's the technical term for it I think), at the pay window and at the last window. The times we've gone inside, it's been very clean and nice. Also, every one of the employees we've encountered there have been very friendly! Overall it's the best Taco Bell we've encountered and the best fast food place in town. We'll definitely keep going more than we should. read more

I swear they forgot my mild sauce on purpose, I will ask for it at both windows and while ordering and they never put sauce in the bag. I normally don't leave review but 9/10 they forget my sauce, just like they did ten minutes ago. read more

Best fast food service in any of the 5 states I've lived in. Tyler even offered to go check the ingredients on the Baja Freeze for us today, since our daughter is really allergic to some food dye colors. Love this place!!! No matter what stuff we ask to be omitted or added our order is always right and gets to us quickly. And you know how in some towns you don't go to the Taco Bell because it's gross? This Taco Bell is EXCELLENT. read more

I'm not going to give you a bad rating but please pay attention to the order when it says no sour cream. Yes I know I can come back and get a refund or whatever but I shouldn't have to drive back across town for that. Sour cream is like the only thing i hate to eat. You're usually really good and I was told my exact order at each window. So just please pay attention because I hate wasting food and money. I work food service too and it's not that hard to get it right. read more

Probably the best taco bell I've ever been to. Clean inside, nice customer service, tacos are actually filled with meat instead of mostly lettuce! Lol. The value menu is pretty good if you want something different than what you would get at McDonald's or burger king (which, btw, the McDonald's in this town is equally as great as the Taco bell! Plus, McDonald's offers a military discount). The drive thru is almost always busy, but it moves pretty fast and even if it's slow the food is worth the wait! I like their cinnabon delights, who knew a taco place had good cinnabon snacks? read more

The only redeeming factor of this Taco Bell, as well as the reason I continue to go, is that it's food tastes better than other Taco Bell's. Although almost every time I go now they will not give you all of your food or will not make any changes you request. Once I ordered a lot of food including 4 grilled cheese burritos and received none of them, called to let them now I was coming back for them because that was what most of us ordered for our main food item, and then when I was getting the forgotten burritos I was treated rudely. I don't really recommend. read more
