Taco Bell in Hicksville

“I have been going to Taco Bell since they first opened MANY years ago. Most of their stores are very clean. While their selections have expanded, so have the prices, and in some cases, dramatically. You're encouraged to use the touch screen near the entrance to place your order. I am sure that they did that to cut down on ordering errors. The quality of the food is good. Nothing to get excited about, and mostly bland, hence the enormous amount of sauces, from mild to HOT, available to bring out the flavor. Part of the process is asking you to make a donation by rounding up any cash below the next highest dollar. Arbitrarily, if you are ordering a taco for a dollar, and your bill would be $1.09, including 8.625% tax, they want you to essentially pay double for the same taco. I refuse to do that. I limit my entire charitable contributions to the Salvation Army, where 100% of your donation goes to help many thousands of men and women addicted to drugs and alcohol. Some charities siphon of HALF of the money they get and share it with their staff. They should be ashamed. 'nuf said.“

“Basic Taco Bell - a popular neighborhood option for satisfying occasional cravings or late night munchies. Preferring process has moved entirely to kiosk and app. Orders for in-store pickup are placed on a rack while drive through are naturally delivered through the window. Try to keep it simple - order in person at one of these options and pick up in the same flow, and it goes smoothly. Try to customize the process, for example order ahead for a later delivery or order on the app and pick up in store and you’ll likely find the experience less than perfect.“
