“Here me out, you're gonna be suspicious of this place when you pull in. The outside doesn't look great but the inside is completely remodeled and looks nice. Then comes the menu, at this point I really debated on getting the hell out of there. There was alfredo and hamburgers and just a weird variety of things but we stayed. The salsa was AMAZING!! My daughter got the white queso it was also very good. I had the asada torta and will definitely be back for another. My sister had the quesabirria tacos the were also very good. This was definitely worth the drive over from Winstar!“

“This place is LIFE! Like ermerlawd! The best tacos I've ever ever eaten. Ever. Usually I don't care to make a post about a food joint but this place it tops. The portions of what I order (Steak tacos with cilantro and cheese) is more than fair for the price. You get a fresh lime wedge. Everything is cooked fresh too! I've formed a taco addiction. But its all good. The food is worth it. The cashiers are amazingly nice. They make me feel like an old family friend, because ive been there so much this week haha, they're really great. This place is overall a 12/10. If you don't try it you are missing out on the best chance youll take in 2019. Its your year go make it! Go eat tacos“

“This was a food truck near Gainesville. It was a good place. The guy who was working there was really nice. The only thing I didn't like about it was at the tacos were so small you had to buy four or five tacos to have a decent meal. The Verde sauce was really good. It was super spicy so be careful. Overall it was a good experience I would go back there again.“

“I’m a recurring customer and have been for years.. and I’ve got to say this particular Taco Bell doesn’t miss. I’ve never had anything weird happen with my food or orders here. The staff is always friendly, food comes out fresh, restrooms are clean and same goes for the dining area. I’ve had good interactions with the managers as well. I’d say this is the #1 Taco Bell I’ve been to and I’ve been to countless Taco Bell’s around the USA.“
