This is the first Taco Bell where I've had a sit-down meal inside the restaurant...for the past thirtysome years, making a run for the border always involved the drive-through and the bounty was eaten at home.
I'd say the Hollywood Cantina is worth a visit only if the novelty of a boozy Baja Blast tickles you. The '20s art deco aesthetic is neat, and the self-order kiosks are much appreciated, but other than that, the only difference of this location is the option of spiked drinks. Plus, it has the negatives of no drive-through, constant flow of people (as one would expect of a tourist area), and due to always being so busy, the tables, floors, and bathrooms aren't the cleanest.
My usual TB order is two soft tacos and two hard shell tacos, both supreme, with lots of diablo sauce - pretty basic, and other than limited-time items, I have never strayed from this order. (I enjoyed two erstwhile menu items immensely, volcano tacos and the caramel apple empanadas.) At the Hollywood Cantina, since I was dining in, I thought I'd choose some Taco Bell classics that I'd never had before. I got a chalupa (I didn't drop it), a crunchwrap supreme, and the pièce de résistance - a Baja Blast spiked with tequila. The service was quick and efficient, the food was hot and tasty, and the hard Baja Blast was a delight, served in a tall plastic bong-like vessel with a crazy straw.
I wouldn't go out of my way to come back here, but it was fun to try once.
