“Taco Bell has become my after work routine. I love stopping by and getting fresh nacho fries. I had an issue once with an employee giving me frozen fries. I guess cause I asked for them to be made fresh, he wanted to be smart. Since then, I've had nothing but amazing service! A employee named Mason goes above and beyond to make sure that I'm happy when I leave. He always has a smile on his face. You need more employees like him.“
