I wouldn't even give this place one star. I'm very understanding of businesses and the fast food industry. This place continuously is a let down- everytime you let the past slide they will give you another reason to not return. I live and work in the area so I've give it several chances despite my bad experiences. First of all, the crew who work there are all extremely unprofessional. They are rude, dismissive, and unhygienic. When you go in there expect to be treated like complete garbage and either demeaned or ignored. Music might be blaring from someone's phone in the back and it is extremely hot due to the employees altering the heat and smells a skunk due to the overuse of marijuana in duty. I'm used to not having what I had in mind in the menu. But today I went in around 8 pm at night and was first informed they had no chicken (but I'm understanding so I was going to settle for something else) Only to be informed in a condescending way that anything off the menu was going to have to be vegetarian. Listen, I know damn well there is at least one form of a meat in that entire restaurant. Especially due to the delivery of that message. The staff is so high there that they find the use of their phones more important and cackling in the back while eating for free. This place is dirty, the staff is disrespectful!!! Shut this place down or find new management. Could be very successful with a different crew given the area it is in. read more

Holy heck. This is probably the slowest Taco Bell on earth. They must be growing the beans back there and making the tortilla homemade haha.

Taco Bell has nasty food! The service is bad they always get it wrong! Its dirty but the location is great!

Closed 45 minutes early 4/27 Could change your hours online it's just a waste of time and gas read more

Drive through worker was really nice! Great service and very welcoming. Those workers made my night.

There is no point in reviewing Taco Bell food as it is consistent across the board. It isn't Mexican food. This review is for the store location itself. I came here one evening (9PM) with some friends for a quick bite. The parking lot was at least half-full but upon entering there were only two customers eating together and a couple of employees in the back. The manager confided that most of the cars were for the Tipsy Moose next door. We ordered a couple of things and they came up quick enough so no complaints there. However, finding a clean table was near impossible as they hadn't bothered to tidy up the dining room. I don't know if they were slammed just before we arrived or not, but the drive through had many cars in it. Other reviews here mention how slow it is, so it might be a staff efficiency issue. Having managed a fast food place, I can say that some things are out of your control but this appears to be systemic. At 9PM, with only 2 customers in the store, you should be able to send someone to bus tables. The food was average, as expected. However, I would have preferred a cleaner environment to eat in. I have definitely experienced cleaner Taco Bell restaurants, which is why my review is so low. read more

Food was messed up really bad. It was mashed into paper, missing alot of our items. It was just a horrible experience. VERY DISAPPOINTED !

This establishment needs to get their employees to actually do their jobs the other day I waited for 40 minutes for my food and now I'm waiting for my food and the food and the girl is just standing there on her phone these guys are also very understaffed every time I come here you guys need to do some firing and hiring read more

Your employees are thieves. Someone hacked the Taco Bell app and ordered themselves a soft taco for delivery to the address of your store itself and gave themselves a $10 tip, 4 times. Did no one there think that was odd when the address came in? Where did the tacos go? Did the manager investigate? Sounds like an inside job. I called the store and all I got was, "sorry the app was hacked". Not my password, the app. The person changed my phone number to what I assume is theirs as a part of the hack. Perhaps you should cross reference 518 275 7676 with your employees. Now, you can redeliver my Tacos to where I live, in Georgia. I at least want something for my $71.96 that's I'll probably never get back. read more

Saw a man named Cody had some orange chicken he said it was good very good orange chicken

NOTE: No more Long John Silver's at this location. The closest location is in Hudson (Greenport). I've been stopping at this Taco Bell for many years since the place opened in the 1990s. Before Taco Bell, there was an old brick house on the site that housed Rexford's restaurant, which served great food. Located at the top of Morrison Ave, it's a great location because it's very close to Harvard On The Hudson (HVCC). I can remember those crazy lunch runs to/from here during my high school years, when things were very cool. I had to rush down here, get the food, and rush back. I used to consume my tacos and burritos in economics class, which was allowed by the "unnamed" teacher. Most of my other classmates would go to the Brunswick McDonald's on Hoosick Rd, but I preferred "ringing the bell." This place is also great for late night snacks too and I'd hit the drive thru before heading to the clubs with my crew. (http://www.tacobell.com) A few years ago, this location was remodeled and cobranded with Long John Silver's, which was on hiatus from the Capital District for several years. (http://www.longjohnsilvers.com) With the Bell and LJS under the same roof, this allows me to pick up lots of greasy battered fish, fries, hush puppies, slaw, soft tacos, bean burritos, and Mexican pizza all in the same order. Free refills on self serve Pepsi fountain drinks (dine-in), score!! The main reason I stop here now is explained below. Here's a cool idea, combine the soft tacos/or burritos (without beef) and the battered fish and you've got FISH TACOS, similar to Rubio's (minus the shredded cabbage & neat salsa bar). I've done this many times to recreate the tasty West Coast favorite. I could travel almost 3,000 miles to Cali for the "real thing," or take a short drive to "ring the bell" for battered FISH and TACOS and combine 'em!! Mmmm good!! read more

Honestly just close the place. Waiting for half an hour in store, placed order 10 minutes before arriving and when I politely as possible asked for an eta they tell me fuck (order name). If you are so incapable of finding staff with half a brain cell just close down the restaurant. The wait times for the amount of staff was ridiculous read more

They dont hire enough people And the people they do hire clearly can't read and need to go back to kindergarten

Terrible service. Drive through worker gave us the middle finger due to us complaining to an incorrect order. No one should support this location. read more

This has been one of my favorite Taco Bell's, but my last experience was horrendous. I ordered nacho fries and the buffalo chicken nacho fries burrito. For one, the nacho fries were undercooked and had no seasoning on them. They must of been left out for a few hours. Now, the burrito was one of the most repulsive things I've ever eaten. It tasted like they dumped a full gallon of buffalo sauce in it. Also, the nacho fries in it were mushy and disgusting. In addition, there were chunks of tomatoes that were nasty and the chicken looked old and disgusting. Also, I don't think they put any nacho cheese sauce in the burrito. I almost threw up when I bit into it, it was sickening. Furthermore, when they employee gave me the food he sneered at me and gave a weird laugh, making me think they did this on purpose. I used to love this Taco Bell, but now I don't know if I can come here anymore. read more

Taco Bell - Buffalo Chicken Nacho Fries Burrito - Fast Food Near Me - Troy, New York

See all

It's Taco Bell. Not the best food in the world but certainly not the worst. It's really close to where I practice hockey, so we popped in here to undo all of the burned calories. I order everything without meat...so it's simple..a shell of some kind with shredded lettuce, tomato and sometimes a form of sauce/moisture...like sour cream or that cheese sauce. We ordered the nacho fries. I've seen the commercials and decided to be the ultimate consumer. Meh....fries were soft, soggy and not very hot. The other food was fine...it's Taco Bell. The girl behind the counter was pleasant and had a nice way about her. She's the reason for the third star....otherwise it would only be 2. Why? The place is a mess....including the bathroom. It's Taco Bell. read more

wouldn't remake my food even tho it wasn't my fault I was late. hoosick street had a huge accident that made me 40 minutes late. saying it was a "waste of product".. like it's fucking some expensive ass food? TRASH read more

If I could give them less than one star, I would!! First off, they never have change, you either have to use your debit card or pay with exact change!! if you have over that amount, you done get your change back!!!!!n This has to be illegal somehow. Second, has anyone ever got the correct order? I haven't..I've gone back numerous times because they ALWAYS mess up my simple order..Ive gotten smarter though, I stay at the window annoying the person behind me to check my order before I leave.Its still usually messed up but at least I dont have to bring it back 2 miles..The person or entity that owns this shithole should be arrested for running a business like this. read more

Wow. We just drove 20 min off our path to enjoy some drive through. They closed 2 hours early. Change your hours. So lazy.

Staff is always incredibly rude so we stopped going to this location even tho it was close to home, we started driving the extra 10 minutes to the next closest one. One morning staff ignored us at the drive thru, we thought maybe the speaker wasn't working so we drove up to the window, they were standing in the kitchen looking at us but didn't come to the window, we honked and kept waiting then finally just drove away. Another time I went inside to pickup an order and I didn't know the lobby was closed I waited ten minutes at the register patiently for someone to assist me, they all kept looking at me but didn't come over I was too shy to say anything and thought they were just busy so I kept waiting. Finally my partner came inside and said "excuse me we're just picking up two orders" they then yelled at us saying we weren't supposed to be in the lobby and we'd have to go through the drive thru. I explained I didn't know because I didn't see any signs on the door and that it was unlocked, and I said it gave lobby pick up as an option and explained that they had all seen me standing waiting for ten minutes and hadn't said anything the whole time. They just yelled at us and we left and canceled our orders. read more

I'd leave no stars if I could. Ordered over 40 dollars worth of food and they got nearly the entire order wrong and was missing the most expensive items. Straight robbed. Arrived late over an hour and the food was cold. Horrible experience. Will never order from this location again. read more

horrible service. they messed up our order and proceeded to yell at us and flip off when we asked for it to be corrected. our foot was cold. overcharged for food. will not be returning read more

This place is the FREAKING WORST. I'm a vegetarian. The ONLY meat I've eaten in the past 10 years has been disgusting bits of puke flavored carrion served to me by THESE IDIOTS. I live a block away, and am often out playing shows late. So I stop by this GARBAGE DUMP on my way home. Or I did. At least a DOZEN TIMES these stupid fools have "accidently" put meat in my VEGETARIAN 7 layer burrito. So many times that tonight, as I was headed home with desperately low blood sugar and had to stop by here again?! I ordered a VEGETARIAN 7 LAYER BURRITO. As there was no food at my house, and as my blood sugar was in the toilet, it was VITAL that they GET THE FREAKING ORDER RIGHT. In fact, 7 layer burritos ARE ALL SUPPOSED TO BE VEGETARIAN. But these stupid a$$hats have gotten this wrong SO MANY TIMES, and this time the wrong food could FREAKING KILL ME, so I asked the dude at the window, "there's no meat in there, right?!" And he goes, NAW, it's a 7 layer burrito! And I go, no really. They KEEP putting meat in. If I get meat in my food here one more time I'll scream. He calls back to the STUPID GONAD who made my burrito: "THERE'S NO MEAT ON THAT 7 LAYER RIGHT?" Tells me nope. So I pay them AGAIN, I take my food all the way home. I wash off my show makeup, climb into PJs, get comfy, take a bite... AND THERE'S F#CKING MEEEEEEAT INFO IT. You STUPID STUPID STUPID freaking people. read more

I ordered spicy tostados and they were made awfully even by Taco Bell standards. The meat was just in one meatball looking scoop.

The site AND the store says the lobby closes at 10 but they lock the doors at 8, and out of an almost $20 order I'm missing half the items I ordered read more

I wish my kids didn't like Taco Bell! This place has screwed up almost every order I have. I used the app today and it took all my customizations off the order. So i I had to explain it at the window. I was talking in my car and said f####in app. The manager comes out and tells me not to swear at my employees. I wasn't talking to the employee so that was insulting. Any way everything I explained at the drive thru was wrong. Had to go back they again! I really don't like complaining but I always feel disrespected here as a customer. I could write a book! There was one time where they screwed up and they gave me two free taco coupons. That was nice actually. Then I went to use one. I asked for a quesarito. They said I couldn't get that with that coupon. Fair enough. I asked what I could get, they said a taco, burrito. So I asked for the burrito. I get to the window. They gave me a taco. I said I ordered the burrito, they said that's all I could get with the coupon. Then why would you tell me otherwise?!? I literally go there 5 days a week but that's over. read more

literally comical how bad it was. apparently they couldn't add sour cream to a burrito? the person taking the order interrupted me at literally every step of the order. we ordered a beefy 5-layer burrito, a nacho box thing, some hot sauce packets, and a baja blast (and attempted to get a bean and cheese burrito with sour cream but, as i mentioned, that's apparently not possible). we received from the window: two tacos, one crunch wrap, one bala blast freeze (that tasted,,, weird, like the machine was broken or something?), and two burritos that were essentially like, a huge amount of nacho cheese, and a sprinkle of ground beef on weirdly burnt tortillas?? and zero hot sauce packets. every step of the process had a mistake. it was ridiculous. read more

I recently ordered taco bell for my boyfriend and myself and more than half of it was missing, they also gave us the wrong shit and the shit they did get right was halfassed. Clearly you'll never dealt with a hangry girlfriend. read more

Service here used to be great. Not sure when it changed but about a year ago the wait times jumped dramatically. I only ever bother when it's late and nothing else is open. Food is sub-par, but then if you expect excellence you probably shouldn't be at a Taco Bell. read more

First, let me start by saying I normally love Taco Bell. However, the location on Vandenburgh Ave needs serious corporate scrutiny. I've never had a positive experience at this location. Today was no exception, after work I stopped in for some lunch and was greeted by a very pleasant person behind the counter. She proceeded to take my order and I waited for my food. A few minutes later I was presented with a bag that I assumed would be my correct order, so I looked inside. I noticed that my food was very messy and my crunch wraps were burnt. The same nice employee who took my order noticed that I appeared concerned and asked me if everything was OK to which I replied "no I don't think so". She then asked me if I would like the items in question remade and I replied that I would, at that point I heard remarks coming from the woman behind the grill who had originally made my food. This foul mouthed employee continues on to say that there was nothing wrong with my food and that it certainly wasn't burnt, I should've taken pictures to prove how wrong she was! She then continued her offensive remarks. But honestly that's not even why I am so upset, I'm more concerned that she felt it was appropriate to badmouth a customer when that person was standing right in front of them! When her superior heard the comments, she immediately told the employee to be quiet however the employee continued the profanity completely disregarding her supervisors request. I couldn't believe the disgusting behavior I was witnessing, I am a frequent customer and do not deserve to be treated this way! In fact, I am a manager of a retail store across the street from this building and am actually quite curious as to how this employee has managed to maintain her position when it is incredibly evident that she doesn't give an actual crap about her appearance, the customers, her work ethic, or the products that she takes part in producing! What a horrible employee, on top of a horrible experience! Oh, and the restaurant was filthy too! Food on the floors, and on the condiment stations. Tables not wiped, and the soda fountain area was a disaster. It's a shame how customer service isn't a priority at this location, I think a few people here could use a refresher. read more

1 star is too high of a rating for this location. I will never spend another dollar at this particular Taco Bell. The employees are grossly incompetent. They have no understanding of the benefit of Grubhub orders and instead choose to let the orders expire, or accept the orders and then cancel them after making the customer wait for over 30 minutes. The hiring manager deserves the most flak for hiring such an incompetent crew of employees. Highly disappointed. read more

Just took 26 minutes to get food in the drive thru with only two people in front of me. The car behind me was yelling and throwing stuff while waiting to order. We were all stuck once we pulled in with no one taking orders. read more

Just about everything about this location is great. It's right next to a CC, so it's always open late and it's at the intersection for a red light, so it's easily accessible. I have always loved Taco Bell and their usually lightning fast response to orders. Occasionally, if it is not too busy, I will place an order, walk over to the napkin/hot sauce/etc. stand and my order will be ready in the matter or moments. Truth be told, I have had a complaint about this location once, and to be clear, only once. I feel that everyone, both people and businesses, can make mistakes, but it is our reaction to said mistakes that defines us as poeple (and as businesses). One night (years ago), I was at this Taco Bell location and the order seemed to take forever to make, for whatever reason. I do not know whether they were short-handed or simply had lazy employees that night, but I called the 1-800 Taco Bell customer service number and let them know that I was displeased with the service I had received. Within a matter of days, the manager from the very same Taco Bell that I had visited called me and offered his sincere apology and offered a free value meal during my next visit. While this would have been enough to satisfy me, he surprised me even during my next visit. As was my custom at the time (I'm a creature or habit ... speaking of which, it's been YEARS and this is still my customary order at Taco Bell when I visit), I ordered a #8 (I believe it was a #8) ... two gorditas: beef supreme with a soft taco and a chicken quesadilla. When the manager recognized the fact that I was the one who made the complaint, he even comp'd the quesadilla, even though the coupon I had received only called for the free value meal (gorditas + soft taco). I feel that this is spectacular customer service and is the type of thing that will keep a customer coming back for years to come. read more

Taco Bell is Taco Bell, really I don't think I need to rate the food. You know what you are getting. What is unique about this location is the atmosphere; depending on the time of year you go. Obviously during the college semesters, you see lots of students. The remaining times of the year you are sure to find an interesting group of characters at this location. Whether it's the "entertaining" staff, the litany of 420 customers or just the locals, it's often entertaining just to sit and people watch! Dinner and entertainment. read more

Orders are (usually) accurate and food is the quality you'd expect from Taco Bell. The wait at the drive-thru has been atrocious every time I've gone in the past few months. It's become a running joke with my husband that one of us keeps thinking we can just "stop at Taco Bell to grab dinner" on the way home and ends up texting the other after 10 minutes in line lamenting, "I have chosen poorly." Apparently we just don't learn... or the need for mediocre tacos is too strong. read more

While I may enjoy getting a quick treat here every now and again- everytime I get in the drive thru lane I remember why I only go every now and again. The drive thru takes so long! I have easily waited at least 10-15 minutes on average with only 1 car ahead of me on several occasions, or even at the window. The manager at this location is very nice, even though he seems a bit abrasive at first, and more often than not, food is ok. read more
