This restaurant stinks by all standards, even the food is bad.
Just look at this place, no children playground? What does that tell you about the owners? Do they even like children? What a shame! It would have been nice if they created something personal!
Why would we think about a children's playground? Well, it isn't that it is required, but it is that Bakersfield has a varied weather pattern. Sometimes it's hot, sometimes it's windy, sometimes it snows, etc. Therefore, parents out there may want to go to a place that has a park inside. Fortunately though, there are many places around here that do, but this one doesn't.
There is a Burger King across the street with a playground. There's a playground inside Del Taco at Rosedale and Coffee. How come this place doesn't? Just off that, location is quite a failure. Dang nang duty!
The only reason there is a Taco Bell here is because someone built it. All someone needs to do to build a location is to have a permit from the corporation. From there, they do everything themselves.
Remember folks, there are thousands of Taco Bells around the world, and most of them would beat the heck out of this place. No playground, cold food, expensive prices. I'll go to Del Taco on Rosedale for cheaper tacos, plus they actually have a children's playground. Or, I can always just find a different Taco Bell.
Taco Bell is a corporation of tex-mex type food. While offering tacos and burritos to customers, they still are not cheap. Why? Well, because Taco Bell is usually good. Forget the bad locations, the good locations make very authentic meals, especially compared to some other places.
So, at this location of no playground and slow drive-thru, a taco is still for 89 cents. Uh, what? Customers pay that much? Way too expensive, especially for this store!
89 cents for 1 stinkin' little taco is ridiculous for this kind of service that we get! Not only is the service horrible, the prices are too expensive!
89 cents... right! I can go to Winco and get 18 taco shells for 2 bucks. That's right, 2 dollars for 18 taco shells. Just add the meat and lettuce and you pay an extra 2 dollars. 4 dollars for 18 tacos sounds waaaaaay better than 1 taco for 89 cents.
As a result of the prices, which are nowhere near inexpensive, there is a need to be selective of which store in town serves you best. It's like finding the best supermarket, you know? Find the location that best suits your every need. It won't always be near work; however, it doesn't have to be. Travel, go around and explore! You will be amazed!
And, just to shut down my opponents who may want to argue with me, let me bring another example into view. McDonalds sells double cheeseburgers at $1 dollar each. Now THAT is a good deal!
Winco, which is one of the cheapest markets in kern county, sells beef patties. Weight-wise, their double cheeseburger, with bread and cheese included, would total about 75 cents each. So, with this in mind, it sounds like McDonalds cares for its customers more just through their prices than Taco Bell. Some McDonalds locations have horrible service, but I would rather pay $1 for the huge double cheeseburger than to pay 89 cents for one, tiny, cold taco.
Speed? How is the speed at this particular Taco Bell? Forget it, there is none. They are so slow here that you might as well bring a book to read. Why? Because "the computer doesn't work." Well, who cares? WRITE down my order, you freakin' idiot!
(Pardon my French, I am only releasing my anger.)
This place ticks me off. It makes me want to vomit just to see other humans get ripped off by these monsters. Taco Bell corporation released their products into supermarkets because they knew that they had some bad stores, that is for sure. Makes it all the more convenient too. :)
Let me explain: one can get their refried beans for 89 cents in a can. So, which would you pay for: 1 bean burrito for 99 cents or 89 cents for one can of refried beans that makes 4 burritos? In simple words, 99 cents for 1 or 89 cents for 4? Yeah... I think I'll do 4.
Taco Bell corporation itself does not run their stores. Running them is up to individual owners, not the company. All the company does is ship the ingredients and make money of stock, that's it. They don't even make new products, that too is up to individual stores.
I know, I know. Some of you really wish to argue with me. You wish to defend your own error of eating here. Well, I guess all I can say is... sorry. I am sorry you do not agree.
Drive-thru sucks as well. I cannot get one thing without worrying about getting something messed up. What a load of poop! Not only that, the food comes cold as ice. I tell you my friends, I make better mexican food than these hombres!
Poor service, bad food, slow times, eyc. I give this store a -2/10. Don't eat here, get better food elsewhere. ;)
