Chile Verde

“Okay this place is amazing! The staff is always so wonderful too! Truly the closest thing to authentic homemade Mexican food. I understand that with any restaurant cross contamination is a thing but unfortunately here I occasionally end up with meat in my food, despite ordering veggie options. I just remove it and keep eating though so it's not an issue but I'm putting a 5/5 either way because it's so worth it. Other than that we eat here pretty often and I wish the company all the success in the world because they are so wonderful. Don't forget to order your horchata because it just ties the meal together.“

They were very patient with me while ordering, as I'm not the strongest Spanish speaker. In the end I got exactly what I wanted. Thank you!“

“This Taco Bell location is one of the better ones I’ve visited. The restaurant is quite clean and well-maintained, which is always a plus for a fast food spot. Parking was easy and convenient, with plenty of space available even during busy hours.

I ordered the new Cantina Chicken Burrito meal and was pleasantly surprised — the burrito was flavorful, the ingredients were fresh, and it was served hot. Definitely one of the better options on the menu right now.

Overall, great experience — quick service, clean environment, and tasty food. I’ll be back!“

“The best Taco Bell in town, and the original if I'm not mistaken.. (that still stands) I can't explain it, but the food is just better here... Milpas location is runner up... Because they have the best customer service there, and close to home. 👌🏼👏🏼💯
P. S. Were you aware that the Taco Bell on the Mesa in Santa Barbara actually charges more!? Likely an additional tax added for an, (almost) ocean view?? Is this common? 🤔🤔“
