Echoing amelia g's comments, this is high-carb bad-for-you stodge. Cheap, cheesy and occasionally cheerful. I've eaten in a few Taco Bill establishments, and the food's pretty consistent.
What sets Beaconsfield Taco Bill out from all the rest, though, is the service - and I don't mean that at all positively.
Recently I went there with a party of four and a baby (we'd booked ahead and made sure they knew we'd be bringing a baby) on a Tuesday night. A sullen teenage girl showed us to a table in the middle of the restaurant, a high traffic area hardly suited for a buggy.
It took a full 10 minutes for our drinks orders to be taken, and at least 10 minutes after that before we actually received our drinks. Bizarrely, the delay appeared to be due to the waitress preparing/bringing drinks for the surrounding tables at the same time as ours. Rather than do one table at a time, the waitress carried a laden tray with about 10 different drinks and glasses on it.
By that time our party had decided on their food, but our waitress wandered off before we could give her our order. 15 minutes passed unnoticed as we caught up with news, cooed over the baby etc. Eventually, though, we realised that the paltry ramekin of nachos was not going to sustain us the whole night, so we started looking around for someone to take our orders.
Minutes passed. Tumbleweed rolled down Princes Highway. Diners at nearby tables exchanged glances with us, "Where on earth ARE these girls?" In order to stave off a mass exodus, my mother-in-law (gawd bless 'er) embarked upon a one-woman search party.
She found all of the waitresses merrily standing and chatting, giggling, laughing, having a rare old time. A verbal kick up the arse persuaded our waitress to return and take our orders. We also ordered another round of drinks, and waited 15 minutes for those to arrive with our neighbouring tables'.
40 minutes after ordering, our stodge was thrust upon us - for all but one person, who had to chase theirs up after another 10 minutes.
In summary, if Beaconsfield Taco Bell is your only option, don't expect good or timely service. read more
