Living in England for 10 years now, this was the first Taco Bell I have seen in the country. Having it so accessible in the states, almost within a 20 minute drive where you are, I definitely miss it. Pictured is the Chicken Nachos box meal. It comes with 5 white chicken pieces coated in a nacho chease coating with a nacho cheese dip. They were well cooked. They could be a bit dry if you don't eat them quickly though. That is what the nacho cheese dip is for though. The two hard tacos were crunchy, and well seasoned. I might check next time for a swap for soft tacos. Once the shell is broken, the taco could spill out so just be mindful. The churros were very well cooked, crunchy, soft, doughy and delicious with the chocolate sauce. I give it a 4 because: The pros: good amount of food for 5 pounds. Well cooked, quick service (about 5 minutes) and it was pretty busy. Service was good and they had employees going around cleaning up peoples rubbish that couldn't be bothered to throw it away themselves. Free refills. The cons: the seasoning on the fries is overpowering. The chicken triangles go dry very quickly (ate one right away and then another three minutes later). As always, prices are relative, take a look at the menu beforehand. Definitely wish there was one closer to our location.

I don’t know if the manager is the same now, but last December I went to this Taco Bell with my daughter and I must say that the manager was so incredibly professional, kind and helpful that we still remember him to this day and felt the need to write a review about his excellent work. Thank you for being so kind!

The tacos had decent flavours. We were a bit worried to order after reading the reviews but we went ahead. We ordered the soft and crispy tacos and we enjoyed having them.
