Love Taco Bell. I was addicted to it while I was living in US. Fortunate to have this branch within an hour from Exeter. Even though it misses the drive through it wasn’t busy. Ordered a burrito, chalupa and taco. The burrito was a bit salty but everything else was tasty. Will visit again soon.
We took our daughter here during a shopping trip, I've never been in a Taco Bell, and even during our trips to the USA, I've never eaten a taco before.
When we arrived, it was a little worrying to see a line of folk sat waiting for their orders to be prepared, but we ventured on nonetheless. The venue was very clean and tidy and had plenty of room to move around, easy to navigate if you are in a wheelchair, although there are only 2 disabled spaces outside and one of them was being used by a delivery driver, the other an Audi driver watching episodes of the Simpsons on his tablet and no Blue Badge on display.
My daughter ordered her usual meal, and my wife and I studied the menu for a while before deciding that none of it was for us. We are not spicy food-eating folk, especially after 8 pm. There was a wait of about 10 minutes while the food was freshly prepared and then we returned to our vehicle where my daughter allowed me to taste a chip - I must say I was quite taken with the seasoned fried potato product, I would have gone back and ordered a portion but I was not inclined to wait another 10 minutes.
The sauce on her quesadilla was not as spicy as I had thought when I saw it contained "CREAMY JALAPEÑO SAUCE" - I feel that it may be a product I could order if I visited during the day, but I don't fancy indigestion in the evening.
All in all, it was a pleasant experience and I would return to try some food on another occasion. (No Scampi.... arrggghhh)
Writing this review just to express my pure happiness as a newbie vegetarian at how good the new plant based options are! I just recently switched and assumed that Taco Bell trips would be no more, but luckily I was wrong! I switched out my old beefy order for the new plant protein in my chalupas, tacos and burrito and am so happy with the taste. 10/10 Taco Bell! I’m also really happy with the way they have a “switch” on the menu for ordering, so you can switch to all the plant protein options and sub it into any item on the menu, even my favourite Bell Grande Fries. I wish more companies would do something similar. Cheers Taco Bell for being awesome 👏
Side note: the tables were all a mess when I came in but luckily the spray bottles and cleaning cloths were stored above the trays so I just grabbed some and cleaned up a table myself for us to sit at. No biggie but would have been nice to have more clean tables available.
