    “3/31/2026 - 450 Dual HWY - On a hope and a prayer I asked if someone knew how to make an Enchirito, and God answered my prayers. The cashier (Jennifer) was so pleasant and welcoming she asked the staff and a fella in the back knew and rattled off the components like he created the thing himself! I have to say this little town looked shady to me, but the staff here were like real good quality people. What a great experience and the quality of the food and cleanliness of the bathroom was wonderful! Great job manager and staff! This was the best Taco Bell experience of my 47 year life to date. It’s crazy when you get the customer service you expect these days without even having to ask! Thanks for the exceptional service!”
