“Not my first review of this fabulous restaurant and it won’t be my last! Pico de Gallo was my first choice for my birthday dinner and it never disappoints! Perfect margarita and guacamole with house made crisp chips. Dinner was vegetable enchiladas filled with broccoli, mushrooms, carrots and cauliflower floret. This dish was topped with melted cheese, fresh cotillo cheese and house made tomatillo sauce. The sauce was sweet with a bit of a kick! All served by accommodating, friendly staff. Thanks for making my birthday “muy magnifico “!“

“Absolutely amazing food! I've had almost everything on the menu and everything has been amazing ?“

“We don't have LJS where I'm from so anytime we have one near our travels, we stop. Fryers were changed before we got there and oil was not up to temp. They said it would be about half an hour and then some to then cook our fish. So we left and came back. Even though we ended up with the wrong shrimp then what we ordered, Elias and staff did everything to make the long wait right. Thank you“

“wanted to leave an updated review now that this location is just Taco Bell, since the Long John Silver’s side is no longer open. After the fire, things clearly changed, and it’s important that the name reflects what customers are actually getting when they come here. This should be listed simply as Taco Bell, not a combo store.

That said, this Taco Bell continues to do a great job. The staff here are consistently friendly, patient, and welcoming, even during busy times. You can tell they’re working hard, and it really shows in the service. Orders are handled efficiently, questions are answered politely, and the overall vibe is positive every time I stop in.

The restaurant feels cleaner and more focused now, and it honestly works better as a standalone Taco Bell. Food comes out hot, fresh, and made correctly, which is all you can ask for. Whether you’re grabbing a quick lunch, a late-night bite, or feeding the whole family on a budget, this location delivers.

I also want to give credit where it’s due — dealing with a fire and changes like the closure of Long John Silver’s isn’t easy, yet the team here stayed professional and upbeat through it all. That says a lot about the management and employees.

Overall, this is a solid Taco Bell location with great people behind the counter. Just make sure the name is updated to reflect reality — Taco Bell only — and you’ve got a well-run spot that deserves the 5 stars. 🌮“
