Taco Bell Cantina Cantina

The average Taco Bell experience plus the addition of alcohol. The dining tables are super tiny. To use the restroom ask one of the employees for the code.

Twice I ordered food from here on Doordash only to have items missing. Neither the restaurant nor Doordash did anything. I was just out the money they stole from me. Then I visited this location at 9:15 a.m. which they have posted as opening hour, when I finally left at 10 a.m. they were still not opened. This is by far the worst and most thieving taco bell location I have experienced.

I've been here several times. The food is standard Taco Bell, served up quickly and the dining room is always clean. Can't ask for much more...

We had a great time here. The food was hot, fresh, and prepared correctly, and the staff were friendly, attentive, and hardworking. Also the dining area and kitchen were well kept

Had an amazing experience! The dining area was clean, and everything was served quickly. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Its just like a regular taco bell but better! They have spiked baja blast slushies with options of rum, vodka and tequila! 10/10

Here from Canada! Thank you Deepak for the best service, the quality of food at this location is absolutely amazing! I can’t thank them enough for such a good time. Thank you so much! I will def be coming back!

In A Nutshell: -Taco Bell Cantina is starting to catch fire. -The first one I saw was on the Strip in Vegas. -What sets these "cantinas" apart is the fact that they sell beer & margaritas. -This brand-new location is very clean, very modern. -You can actually see them making your food right behind a clear glass so any doubts you've had about Taco Bell can be put to rest since they use precise measuring instruments to make your food. -I also like the very clean & unlocked bathroom (not sure if they will lock it up later at night though). -If you want to order a beer or margarita, you can only do that at the counter & not the self-help kiosk. -If you want to spend some time here & work you can actually do that since there are USB & electrical outlets built-in. Overall, the food is great when you have that Taco Bell craving every now & then.

they gave us so much Guac for chips, and so much good food. And they had banners for the convention we were at. very welcoming, and wonderful. great vibes.

I recently stopped by the Taco Bell Cantina in Downtown San Jose to try something new: the nuggets. Surprisingly, they weren't dry, which was a pleasant surprise given how fast food can often miss the mark on texture. However, the exterior was tougher than expected, which detracted from the overall experience. As for the sauces, the fire ranch sauce didn't live up to its name--it lacked the kick and depth I was hoping for. On the other hand, the bell sauce turned out to be a delightful surprise, complementing the nuggets far better than anticipated. Overall, if you're curious about Taco Bell's take on nuggets, they're worth a try--but maybe skip the fire ranch sauce.

Yo pick up yall phone I know yall open Yo pick up yall phone I know yall open Yo pick up yall phone I know yall open Yo pick up yall phone I know yall open

I'm really surprised to see a 3.5 rating. I came in tonight, and the food was delicious and served hot. The customer service was fantastic, and the place was spotless.

This Taco Bell Cantina is a gift from god. With a strong pour and crisp Baja blast their drinks are second to none. The food is also electric.

Overall, the food is pretty great as far as Taco Bell's go! However if I deliver it's almost gotten to the point where 50% of the time I get the wrong stuff. I order some Taco Bell for my friends and I, so it was a pretty large order, but I was delivered a single cravings box instead ;-; They did help out with a voucher though, so the folks there are still pretty good :)

The chicken empanada was good with that sauce perfect hot and warm cheese quesadilla perfect Pablito was very friendly!

Would leave 0 stars if I could... every time I order it says it's ready and I have to wait 10+ minutes... clearly staff is just clearing it to improve times which is very misleading. And while I try to address this issue they brush it off in a condescending manner. Will not be visiting again.

Worst service from a taco bell in 40 years bernal San Jose CA location the 400 lbs lady that works here is the worst would give 0 stars if I could

Just ordered food from here. Told the cashier twice I didn't want sour cream on my tacos, get home and guess what's on my tacos, sour cream. Love that for me.

Aight, I'm not gonna smash Taco Bellz cuz if you don't know what it is at this point in your life, I'm not even sure you really exist. Let me start off by saying this: I was NOT DRUNK AF when we went. Hell, I wasn't even remotely tippy, cuz I didn't drink anything. This should concern you. Man, we weren't even high for this trip!! Anyway, we rolled up with our friends because they were drinking, and we came here cuz it's a Cantina, meaning they serve the Alkohols. Holy Moly, this food is NOT meant to be eaten sobre. I can't believe how bad this food is, hahaha! Took a total of two or three bites and instantly stopped. Just looking at the food gave me almost instant diarrhea. Anyway... Taco Bell. Yeah.

Do I need to say more I love the food it's a it's about as close you're going to get to Mexican food

Food. The food is Taco Bell. So 2 star is what you expect. You don't come to Taco Bell for dining experience. You come here because nothing else is open or you have the drunchies. Service. I'm not joking every single order I got from here had an error. Best advice for everyone who sees this DOUBLE CHECK YOUR ORDER. There is about 97% chance that they've got it wrong. Atmosphere. It's actually one of better stocked Taco Bell. But regularly you'll see homeless and schizophrenics during the day and drunks in the evening. Hey but it's Taco Bell. I'll be coming back and so will you.

Don't recommend this place, got to 90s the restroom because I personally did not order anything on the menu even though that I can with a group of friends at ordered food and they still denying me access to the restroom as you can see these are the lazy ass workers that you see on the picture

It's a cantina, so they have alcoholic drinks, which are nice. I tried two of the flavors--Baja Blast was the best and some red one was absolutely gross (tasted like medicine). Food was always made well and service was pretty quick too. I came here on a few weekends and it does get crowded, but nothing crazy since it does die down after awhile. Small store for a fast food, but still spacious with plenty of seats. Also, if you want to use the bathroom, you have to ask them for the key.

First time coming here and was disappointed! Not given the proper information of the two different menu options for the downstairs and upstairs. We came from a four hour drive to have a family gathering and to eat. The menu was very disappointing some family members were not able to eat due to the lack of choices and the bad service. We were told we could not order food from the downstairs menu. Bad service I have ever experienced!

Sunday the 1st of September, we went to the taco bell down town San Jose to get breakfast. We went at 9, expecting the store had been open since at least 8, but when we arrived, we were just meet with a giant chain on the door, and a single woman inside the store, which after we waited for a few minutes, opened the door with an attitude. She seemed to be the only one in the store and nothing was prepped, not even the order screens were turned on and we waited for awhile before leaving. Highly disappointed, especially as im a non American, and had been looking forward to try the breakfast menu. Instead my husband, I and our son had to waste our time and walk away very disappointed.

Great option if you're looking for a quick, cheap bite in San Jose. Bonus that they sell a few alcohol options! You can order at the kiosk, and you'll be served quickly. The place is kept clean and there's usually seating available. The staff was friendly and efficient.

they were okay. could have been better at communicating, I wasted gas on this service and maybe you should call before going

Very clean taco bell even though it's located downtown where all the homeless are and yet they still keep it clean. Cheap food and great service.

You gotta love Taco Bell!!! Best fast food ever. Would highly recommend. Cheap, clean and yummy.

This review is for management at this location. You need to hire some kind of security at this location. I work in downtown SJ and have frequented this Taco Bell several times. It is being overrun by the homeless downtown and they can be very rude - aggressive. I was in there the other day and saw a homeless person throw the whole POS checkout computer over the counter because they wanted to charge him for a cup so he could get some water. I have also seen multiple times where there is police activity in this location. I feel sorry for anyone who works at this location it's really getting worse. The food is .. Taco Bell. That's it.

I don't look at Taco Bell the same way. It ain't for the faint of heart or b*tthole; so when you come across someone that says "I don't care what's in the meat" and they were raised on it, take it that they mean business. Cantina's been on my list to check off: a fast food restaurant that serves alcohol next to my favorite crunch wrap, chalupa or $5 promo box. I've bookmarked to drive up to Pacifica and make a day out of it by the beach but my experience down here already had it beat. I can tell you I didn't get the sh*tz at the beginning of a night out and probably have the vodka baja freeze to thank for that. My advice is stick with the questionable beef and slushies and don't go steak and beer tap if your stomach ain't ready. You won't have the fallback of a brain freeze or trained gut to slow everything down :)

Very fast service! I came to this Taco Bell on my lunch breaks and even with the place being packed they get your food out very fast. One time I even asked for a custom order, just some tortillas filled with lettuce, so I can make burritos for lunch, and they took my order no questions asked. Super nice staff and good management! Keep it up Taco Bell!

Love that this Taco Bell has drinks that you can get alcohol in them. I mean you can't go wrong with a Baja blast freeze with some vodka. Service was good Eventhough it was busy on a Friday night at 11pm after the sharks game and we got our order in a timely manner. So I have nothing bad to say about this Taco Bell!

Out of the many fast food options, Taco Bell is probably one of the few that I actually enjoy. I've heard about their Cantina's before with locations in San Francisco and Las Vegas but never came across the opportunity to visit. Now a Taco Bell Cantina is basically a neighbor! Self-service kiosks, boozy freezes, open kitchen, and a modern interior feel this sit-down Taco Bell is definitely a level above the rest. Located close to San Pedro Square and next to a Tiki Bar this is a perfect location whether you are out bar hopping and looking for some late-night drunchies or get a panging hunger for a crunch wrap supreme and a beer. Came in on a Friday night, which so happened to be the day after the release of their Cheddar Toasted Chalupa so I of course ordered that with beef, their Baja Blast with alcohol and a regular crunchy taco. Cheddar Toasted Chalupa - super crispy, cheddar on the exterior of the chalupa gave it extra flavor and funk. The chalupa is bready and a perfect vessel for holding together the beef, lettuce and tomato without becoming soggy. Pretty good! If you're a fan of parm crisps, you'll enjoy this! Doritos Locos Cool Ranch Taco - tasted the same as any other DoLo taco you can get at Taco Bell Frozen Baja Blast - with alcohol; you can choose an option of tequila, vodka or rum. I got tequila, but kind of wish I opted for vodka. For those wonder, it tastes EXACTLY how you think it tastes. Long story short, you can make this at home ... but hey, when in Rome - I mean at Taco Bell Cantina. Service was quick and they call out orders by name as well display ready orders on a monitor. Menu contains a few items not found at other Taco Bell locations and also serve boozy freezes, coffee and beer. Clean interior and the tables have outlets. Only downside is the place is a bit small so it gets crowded quick. Security is also present, caught a few guests trying to bring their boozy baja blasts outside. This isn't Vegas, y'all. My new favorite addition to DTSJ for sure!

Yum! Came here for a Doritos locos taco and it was super yummy! The Dorito nacho taco shell was very powdery. The cashier was super friendly and service was quick. There's only metered parking available so have your card/change ready!

There are parking garages near by that they validate, so parking is relatively easy. There is a small patio out front; however, when we entered and left there were people smoking a cigarette and then a blunt there... The inside of the Taco Bell is very nice though. There is a decent amount of seating around and you can order via mobile, on their electronic touchscreens in front, or at the counter. The service was quick and friendly. I enjoyed their Pina colada with rum (you can add alcohol to any freeze!).

Yay cantina finally opened in SJ!! Came here around 8pm on a Friday and it was pretty packed. Everything except alcoholic drinks are self order on a screen in the middle of the store. I got the alcohol Baja blast and cantina steak/cheese nacho box (according to the worker, the cantina nacho boxes are the only food items that are unique to cantina and not available at other Taco Bells). The alcoholic Baja blast was def overpriced ($7 for a small) but I guess it's for the experience. They give you a choice of vodka, rum, or tequila. I chose the vodka and tbh it barely had any alcohol taste even though I saw the guy pouring a decent amount into the cup?? So yeah one cup def wasn't enough to feel anything, but it tasted pretty good. And then my friend got the frozen margarita which actually tasted a lot more like alcohol :0 The cantina nacho box (~$7) was decent for fast food IMO, and portions were a lot bigger than I expected. You can see in my pic that it was pretty loaded with sour cream, cheese, salsa, and steak. Service was okay and parking is kind of a pain, but that's expected cause it's downtown. The interior is also very modern and clean, at least when I went. Overall would recommend trying cantina at least once for the experience! :-)

I was hoping it would be bigger to accommodate more people. When it's packed, it's freakin crowded! Lots of college kids around (duh, SJSU is right there). They have kiosks to order things yourself or you can go to the counter and order. You choose whatever type of alcohol you get with your drinks. They have beers too. I tried the baja blast freeze with vodka. You can barely taste the vodka. Tip: you can't sit outside if you have alcohol. It's a great addition to DTSJ. Perfect for drunk munchies. Just sucky cause of how small it is. Since it's new, everything is fairly clean so far.

This taco bell has a different feel to any other bell i've been to! The exterior is really pretty; the font and signage u see before u walk in is aesthetically pleasing. They also have an outdoor seating with a couple tables as well. When u enter, there r three kiosks with huge touch screens u can order from. The interior feels spacious and clean. This location is pretty new so that is probably why. I ordered a crunchwrap supreme and my name was called very shortly. The staff was on it and very friendly. One guy even helped to pack up the remainder of my food when i was done and wanted to take it home. Another unique thing about this location is u can buy alcoholic beverages! I really want to try this but didn't have the chance to this time around. Hopefully next time! I wouldn't mind swinging by this place again when im downtown again :)

Since my company moved to downtown San Jose, Taco Bell has been the place I've frequented the most when I forget my lunch or am craving breakfast. How can you go wrong with $1.29 sausage breakfast burritos?!! I mean, $1.00 would be even better (as some Taco Bell locations still have) but definitely hits the spot! Their app is easy to use and order online. Best part is , is that they serve breakfast until 10:30/11:00 AM I believe so I'm never in a rush to get breakfast before breakfast hours are over. I usually give a little bit of extra time and then run downstairs and my order is usually ready to go. This definitely beats waiting in lines, although it does not seem to be very busy at breakfast times. I have only gone once for lunch but also ordered online. They have self-serve kiosks inside also if you prefer to order that way. The restaurant itself is always nice and clean looking when I run in if you prefer to eat in doors. One day I'll try their alcoholic beverages. Thinking they will be perfect for the summertime!

I always order the most basic thing on the menus: bean and cheese burrito with no red sauce or onions, most places mess up my order but Taco Bell has yet to fail me. Their service is awesome and there place is just like any other fast food restaurant. The only thing I am always upset about is how the keep discontinuing the nacho fries!!!!!! BRING THEM BACK.

Don't go here 30/ 1 hr before closing. Waiting in line for about 10-15 min just for them to say "sorry we aren't selling food anymore". We tried to explain that we've been in line for 10-15 min. They just looked at us and said sorry ‍

i ordered a large baja blast and they gave me a regular. it even says on the receipt it's a large but they gave me a small. i would like my large baja freeze.

This Taco Bell is really just a normal Taco Bell in fancy clothing. Whatever you would rate a normal Taco Bell, I would add one star. Same unknown mystery meat, same bean and cheese substances, but served in a location that is not your average Taco Bell, a bit cleaner, and trendy. If your craving a crunch wrap supreme and want to eat in, this is the place to go. They also serve alcohol. I had a drink a frozen drink, but it was kind of separated and weak.

Today was their grand opening! Walking in you will see 3 kiosks where you can place your order and customize in the way you would like. There was one worker outside greeting people and drawing them in. Everyone was super friendly and as helpful as possible! Food came out soo good and fresh Their freeze machine was down today but will be up tomorrow. Definitely going to be coming back

Around the corner from San Pedro and next to a parking garage so access to get to Taco Bell is convenient. The only other time I've seen a Taco Bell Cantina is in Vegas so very cool they have on locally. Really the only different between this cantina and a regular Taco Bell is that it serves booze. The interior was super nice and one thing that I really like is the self serving. The moment you walk in there are these big screens that you can order your food from. Although I'm not sure if you can order booze from the screen I would think not as your ID needs to get checked. It's a nice service to have when you just want to make your fast food experience faster. I ordered the: 1] Fiesta Taco Salad Nacho ($6.99) - A decent size portion for nachos and it's not bad. It does taste like an open face taco if that's a thing. Nothing to hate about this Taco Bell. Definitely a nice location and it wasn't that crowded when I went on a Wednesday evening after a holiday event. Would definitely go to this place again if I wanted something quick and decent.

This Taco Bell is never open in the mornings until after ten or eleven what's so frustrating is because online it shows that their stores open at 8 o'clock and no one is ever there at 8 o'clock, there are times when I'm hungry and can't afford to buy food anywhere else because it's so expensive and I walk to Taco Bell to see that it's closed.

My first time at Taco Bell Cantina and it was just what I needed on a hot day :) Plenty of Kiosks to order inside as well as no line at the cashier during lunchtime. Loved that they had plenty of different flavors to choose from compared to normal locations. My coworkers and I tried the margarita freeze (highly recommend), pina colada, sangria, baja blast. You can also mix flavors together! They do not validate parking but you can park in the parking structure or find street parking. I gave it 4 stars for space. Not enough seating area inside. We sat outside in the sun. I would recommend getting shade umbrellas especially for when it's hot and sunny during the Summer! Taco Bell has really upped their game! They provide charging ports at the tables and really make it a great place to hang with friends!

So conveniently located. Come for your pregame food + drinks LOL or come for drunchies!! Came here on a Friday night with my friends and we were all stoked that Taco Bell cantina had finally opened. The line goes by pretty quickly since when I went, they seemed well staffed. And since the place is new, things were very clean and kept that way (which I really appreciated). I ordered my usual food + an alcoholic Baja blast freeze!! Yum! They let me pick between having it mixed with tequila or vodka so I picked tequila and my boyfriend picked vodka so we could try both. Personally, I liked the tequila mixed with the Baja blast more. Def would return!

Awesome and clean. Came here for lunch and attempted to use the touch screen to order my food. Just note you need to go to the cashier to order your margarita!!! Placed order at the front and literally my food was ready to go. Food was good. Seating outside where I am enjoying my margarita in the sun. Best lunch ever!!!

Very disappointed in my experience at this Taco Bell Cantina. The customer service was horrible. From the employees telling jokes about the customers in Spanish thinking nobody would understand. To the youngest employee violently slapping a table to wake up a customer after a long night. I could understand how rough the job of working in this area on a late Saturday night but there should always be a since of professionalism and customer service. The kicker was when I ordered a soda and the caps from the soda machine were taken off but when ask if I could get some soda the young lady pulled the soda caps out of the bleach water with her bare hands and screwed them back on the machine so that I could get some soda. I mean at the very least rinse it off. I would not recommend this location if you are looking for your Taco Bell fix.

This location has the best Mexican Pizza, the food is considered "fast" however they actually take their time at this location, it isn't all smashed together and messy like other taco bells foods!

Over charging for chicken (meat) for family tacos meals but if you want beef it's free at no cost. The spot is awful and they don't have parking spots but parking in the streets smells dirty trash cans bins Never again

I swear to God, I came here a few weeks ago and really liked it. I am a diehard Taco Bell addict and would look for any opportunity to eat at one. I already went to the Taco Bell Cantina in Pacifica and this is no different. Like the one there you can have access to some great beers and alcoholic freezes. For students, this is a more better option than the one on campus because service is more quicker. The staff here works very quickly once your order is ready they go straight to work on it. If you are using the app, please order before coming in or else you will be standing for quite a long time. They serve your order in one of those plastic baskets that you see in Portland, Maine. Not sure what's it called but you can sure taste the quality and effort they put in your food. I like how the location is also close to SJSU. Only a few blocks away. I would come here again if I can. Seems to be a favorite among everyone who works, lives and studies in the Downtown area. Drawback: Like I said about using the app, if you got a slow smartphone it will be very troublesome when using the app. Alcoholic drinks are very costly here so in case you want to get something nice, please pick wisely. Be careful of your surroundings when walking over to here because it can be very unsafe at night. Also park wisely, Taco Bell won't validate.

I only had a few minutes to grab a quick bite to eat and decided to go in and grab a burrito. First impression: the store has a great design and an open concept. You can order at the counter or at the self order kiosk (there are 3 monitors) I decided to use the kiosk, I had no idea you could customize the burritos with choice of sauce or toppings. I decided to get a seven layer (- tomatoes and lettuce) (+cheese and chipotle sauce) The store was clean, the staff was friendly and the kitchen was well maintained. Can't wait to go back and play around with the menu and come up with new combinations to try out.

The food at Taco Bell is getting worst and worst. Fake meat and too many fattening fillers and sauces. This is the last time I will come here.
