Taco Bell Made a Nacho Crystal for Mercury in Retrograde - Eater

"Take a deep breath to center yourself because you’re about to read the words 'Taco Bell’s Mercury RetroGrande Nachos with a chance to win a Spencer Pratt-approved nacho-shaped amethyst crystal complete with a gold-colored cheese drip.' This, like most fast-food restaurant promotions, is arbitrary nonsense — like inventing a new food holiday or the term 'fourth meal.' Taco Bell is wisely capitalizing on the increased interest in astrology and metaphysical healing by partnering with Pratt, known crystal enthusiast, who once said, 'I’m trying to keep it in my crystals...I know they’re not working, that’s why there is hundreds on me right now' in a now-iconic episode of The Hills. But there is a hook here: Mercury is in retrograde through October 18, 2021. Astronomically, that just means Mercury appears like it’s moving backwards from Earth’s perspective. Astrologically, though, it’s shorthand for all sorts of communication problems, be they interpersonal or society-wide. Could Mercury be responsible for Facebook going offline for a day? Who’s to say! It’s a better explanation than anything they’ve come up with! So, because of the planets and a general love of nachos, Taco Bell is offering 'free Mercury RetroGrande Nachos with a minimum basket of $12 exclusively via Uber Eats' between October 7 through October 9. Customers can also enter to win a nacho-shaped amethyst crystal endorsed by Pratt, who has his own crystal business to complete the pivot from reality star to sus LA healing dude. Here’s a video about it, in which Pratt attracts hummingbirds (or 'hummies,' which sounds like a very different thing) with his nacho necklace: Pratt also offered this statement, as if it explains anything: 'Mercury in retrograde is no joke and I do whatever I can to combat those bad vibes from extra quality time with my hummingbirds to cleansing my crystal collection and more. I’ve always been a Taco Bell superfan and was so pumped to team up with Uber Eats and Taco Bell to bring together my two favorite things, Crystals and Nachos.'" - Jaya Saxena

I went for lunch today with not too much time to spare and they didn't disappoint! With 5 cars in front of me, I was at the window and handed my order within 12 minutes of joining the line. Everything in the order was correct, down to the number of sauce I wanted. I'll definitely be going back to this location for lunch.

I ordered dine in, received the wrong order/food, took it up to the counter and they swapped it out right away. Small crew working on a Saturday evening and they were still pumping orders out, and they were polite! 5 stars!

Who doesn't love taco bell, I've been coming here for years I use the drive-thru quite often and I'm extremely pleased with daytime and late night shifts I'm there so frequently I remember all the workers'faces and to my surprise it seems they remember me as well, fast friendly, convenient and delicious

Charge me extra for guacamole, etc and not put it in my order… Garbage service man cmon

It's quite inside, they have a new system where you no longer speak to a human ordering your food through drive through it's a robot your talking to . It worked better then I thought h ought it would but I cant imagine if I had to order a lot

Food was nasty. Mexican pizza tasted old. Threw it away. A waste of money 🤢🤮

I had a large complicated order with lot of mods, and they got it done correctly and quickly. Everyone was friendly and the restroom was clean 👌 10/10 would recommend over any taco bell in new orleans.

I watched an employee drop cups on the floor, pick them back up and still give them too people there was also a dead rat in the bathroom and there's mold on the drink machine

no straw, no napkins, no hot sauce, and wrong things in my order to go. Didn't have time to go back. otherwise typical fast food. Just need to train your people.

Ryab L.

Foods always good here, but word of advice, if a guests ask for anything modified and you don't know how to ring it in, simply ask a manager, try to repeat the entire order and make sure it's all keyed in appropriately so that the cooks don't have the pressure of a line building up to remake an order. Other than that, this is a great location to get good Taco Bell, and an older gentlemen who got my order remade, thanks so much and keep up the great work!

Jacob D.

Yelp

Stopped in for some after happy hour bar food lol. You have to order and pay on the big screens as no cashiers are avail to take your order except the drive thru. Food is your typical Taco Hell food (tastes good at the time then regretting it later). Restaurant was clean but employees weren't friendly at all.

Barbara D.

Yelp

The service is horrible. Im not usually one to complain but its been 25 mins and im still in the same spot i've been in since i got here. Better off going to the store and buying your own ingredients and making your own tacos i'm sure it will be faster then waiting on these ungrateful ass kids laughing and having fun instead of making your food and doing there job. Absolutely horrible don't come here

I went to try to chicken wings. I know I know. But I had to. I also ordered cinnabites while there. The server taking my order was VERY nice. She was just so pleasant. I wish I knew her name. The wings were passable enough I guess. Imagine frozen chicken wings. These aren't good wings by a long shot. She shoulda leaned way harder into Taco Bell flavors. They played it way safe. The cinnabites were very tasty. They only come in 2 or 12. Such odd options

Got the New Improved Mexican Pizza---it was terrible, it had a sour taste---not like the Mexican Pizza of the past (they have been out of this item on the menu for Months) Appears to be a different Shell they are using Not recommend--do not purchase

Paula M.

Yelp

Bean burrito was ok but Mexican pizza had chemical taste. Trashed more than half of it. Post meal research says the chemical taste is from not changing the fry oil. So tired of not getting decent fast food and it's not even cheap. Had same issue with 5guys 2 weeks ago. Their fries were petrified you couldn't even eat them. Gonna have to pass on fast food and resort to all home cooking and try to afford occasional fine Nola dining.

If I could leave negative stars, I would. This is the worst fast food restaurant ever. First, not fast food the employees walk around like zombies just looking at you like you're an idiot. I went inside to get food and it took 30 min to get 4 tacos and a nachos. I know people say well that's what you get for going to Taco Bell! What do you expect? Well, I expect the basic requirements of the job. I want to order my food, get my food and it be correct. It was not. I'm not asking for them to jump through hoops. Just do their basic job! Is that too much to ask?! I worked in the food industry when I was young and if we had treated customers with this level of customer service, we would have been fired real quick. We've gotten food from here many times in the past and it wasn't great. Now it's just plain awful. People say it's fast and cheap. Nope! It's slow and ridiculous priced now. So, in conclusion, if you'd like to get "fast"food from this place, good luck!

This is one of the worst TB I have ever been to. Our food came overcooked. My daughter had a steak quesadilla it was burnt and flat like a sheet a paper. You know how its cut into 4 slices? The 4th slice was just tortilla..no meat no cheese..just flat burnt quesadilla. I had a mexican pizza and it tasted off. I realized that the tostada had been over cooked and affected the taste. So dissapointed. Go elsewhere..

Steven K.

Went to this location with a few friends, had an order for 12 items. When we received the bag, we usually always check to make sure everything is there, to our surprise, the bag smelled of cleaning supplies. We took the food home being that it was a large order and didn't want to waste food, only to find out that every single item smelled, and tasted like cleaning supplies. We usually have great luck with this Taco Bell location and it's usually a Friday night staple, but I'm not too sure how much longer this will be our Taco Bell of choice.

Tonight 11/28/2023 myself, my son & my niece came thru the drive thru! I just want to say that Devonte(spell check) was beyond amazing! Our order took a little minute, not bad, but the timing would've pissed a Karen off, he maintained a positive attitude, and double checked our order after the wait!! I've been to this drive thru many times for my dad who LOVES THE FOOD, and all the associates are nice everytime but this time it was different! Not saying the others are bad, but he went above & beyond to just interact with us & enjoy his job!! Thank you Demonte from the lady in the gold truck listening to Christmas music with her son & her niece, talking about how beautiful the moon look tonight! I hope you one day see this and someone see's this & recognizes how powerful your positive impact was received after a day of a teaching I had!! May God bless you in all that you do!!

I ordered a Mexican pizza and I ask for no tomatoes on it . I still get tomatoes on it and it's not even eatable look like it doesn't even have a top shell because it was smooshed to the top of the box. I also had three soft shell tacos with just lettuce and meat and 1 Didn't have lettuce and the other two were soggy and sloppy.

Closing your doors 1/2 hour earlier after I paid online using your app. You also just look at me like I'm stupid without saying an f'in word when I'm trying to open the door with other customers still inside. Dude, it's 9:30pm. Every time I visit home people like you make me glad I moved out of state.

Paige S.

This is my favorite Taco Bell location!! I go out of my way to go to this Taco Bell when I'm craving it! The drive thru moves pretty quickly & the food is usually fresh! I always order the nachos and they always give me extra guac without having to ask!

This Taco Bell has improved on the speed of their service (slightly,) however they need to work on the cleanliness of their fountain.

My family went there on 12/24 drugs thru around 6 pm. We offer 2 boxes of $5 special. The hard shell tacos was hard and chewy. The soft burrito was dry and chewy. We didn't want to eat it but we are half and 4 hours later we all have food poison. I had the worst sweating stomach ache. I was screaming for an hour and I was sweating cold. I had diarrhea for the night till next day. There was no medicine available so the Christmas day was ruin for me. I couldn't eat but playing on heat pad. I need to report this location to the health department.

Merle D.

Sign on door says dining room open so I park and get handicapped child out of car only to find the doors locked. I can understand the dining room being closed but not with a sign saying it's open. I can only imagine the employees inside laughing at every fool believing the sign and trying to open the door. Paint over the dining room open sign. Jerks.

Nicholaus B.

Yelp

Missed half our order, after telling us its all there. Guess it's my fault for believing fast food workers.always check your food before leaving l. Fast food workers cant be trusted. Ok.....went back to get the right order and they still fucked it up DONT GO THERE. Just called to talk to a manager 9/30/18 @ 2:ooam and was on hold for 10 min with no answer. They do care about their customers. Not a place to go.

Keith C.

Yelp

This is the best Taco Bell ever ! They are really nice, and they don't hand out tiny burritos like the other Taco Bell's around, take my advice and never go to the one on airline, just come here.........

Scott S.

Dear Taco Bell, I've loved you since the first day I wrapped my mouth around your soft hot Burrito Supreme. You may remember me. I was the size of an Ewok and had footed jammies to match. For the longest time my typical order would be two Burritos Supreme and a Mountain Dew, but then your tortilla Jedis debuted the Mexican Pizza! Genius! But this also made things difficult. Sure I could get one Burrito Supreme and one Mexican Pizza, but that's short one Burrito Supreme. You can't have just one! My flavor holes are only just hitting a plateau stage by the time I finish the first one. I need the second one to peak, damn you! So what's a Bellboy to do? There was only one solution. Go more often. Possibly this was your plan all along? That worked until college, where you officially became my cafeteria. Oh Taco Bell. To this day I'm grateful for saving me from that hellhole of a barren wasteland called my actual cafeteria where the only saviors were breakfast (which was even more impossible to wake up for than 8 a.m. Geology) and the Cap'n (who should really be an Adm'ral by now FFS). However, eating you every frigging day eventually forced me to be more diverse in my menu selections, and being poor forced me to eat your cheaper options. (Bean Burrito and Crunchy Taco I'm looking at you.) After I left college, I had to visit you less, and focus on actual sustenance, but then you went and came up with the Crunchwrap Supreme. Come on now! That's unfair! How am I supposed to leave you in my past when you make things so hard? You just keep adding things I need to eat! You're like Walmart, except instead of falling prices, I'm enticed by new and exciting ways to fill my colon. Anyhow, I visited you after catching Thor recently and have decided I will always try to stop by and say hello before or after all future visits to AMC Elmwood Palace 20. It was meant to be, Taco Bell. You and me. Forever. Love, Scott's Gastrointestinal Tract

One of the last places where you can get AUTHENTIC Pizza Hut Pizza...HELLO!!!! Supreme Personal Pan Pizza here I come!!!!!

Steve G.

Yelp

We ordered 2 pizza hut combos. One was cooked fresh, the other ones was hours old, so old in fact the mushrooms had dehydrated and were more the consistency of rubbery card board. Two orders of breadsticks one expired 2 hours prior to my arrival and another 1 hour prior. When I called back I was told the manager was busy. I will be talking to corporate on Monday.

Danon H.

Yelp

This is my favorite chain taco place! I used to go here all the time when I lived in Metairie. The service tends to vary given the fact it has a high turnover rate among the employees. Overall I have been satisfied with the service though, Its usually quick and friendly. The food at this Taco Bell is pretty good. I love Dorito's Locos Tacos! The tacos,burritos,Nachos are good too. I still haven't tried the pizza here yet. The best feature to this taco bell is that it has a Pizza Hut attached. My favorite taco and pizza chain rolled into one, Pure Heaven! In short great tex mex classic and they sell pizza!

Adam K.

Yelp

I'm not sure how they can't keep the drive through line moving on a Friday night but I have been stuck on the line for at least 30 minutes at this point. I also had already tried to order pick up from inside but the doors were already locked so obviously that must not be an option even though the app and website show it to be available

Ellen D.

Yelp

Not a Taco Bell fan, haven't been for years, but I was curious about the fries! After waiting in line for almost 20 minutes I finally got my food: a Baja blast and fries. Almost 6 hours later and I'm throwing up, having the worst stomach pains I've ever had. Pretty positive their food got me sick, so be careful.

Travis W.

Yelp

Last 4 times I have gone to this location they are temporarily closed. Employees are all these but just don't want to work. Today at 1pm. Last weekend at 2am (open till 4am) and a couple times prior. It's a joke to even try to goto this place anymore. Too bad Taco Bell corporate won't do something about this store.

Joseph B.

Yelp

Hi how are you? No. It's yea, what you need. Thank you. Haha. No. You are a bother to these people. The money you spend pays their checks, but they could careless. Fire all these useless people and hire older people. The place is filthy. Food took over 20 mins and there was only one person in front of us. To whom ever own this place or manages it, why don't you care about it or this community?

James G.

Yelp

Their freebie machine is always broken & customer service isn't too friendly. staff needs working equipment & better training.

JBwith W.

I guess it's just their policy to make you wait 10 to 15 minutes before getting your fast food.

Matt J.

It's Taco Bell, they're open hella late, and they don't screw up your order. Like Marisa said you can expect a long line at the drive through but it usually moves pretty fast.

I purchased two gift certificates here on 2/13/14 and mailed them out with Valentine's to my daughters in college. The manager who sold them to me did not activate them and my daughters found this out trying to use them.

Ian R.

Yelp

This location most definitely needs an overhaul. 15 minutes in drive up because the lobby is closed an hour early but plenty of employees leaning around on the counter. An employee outside told me they are short staffed. Kinda ridiculous to make your own hours

Brandon B.

Yelp

Walked to all entrances and they were locked. Called and was told that the manager was working the lobby and decided to close it due to being the only one up front. Don't go here unless you want something quick and don't want to sit and eat.

Marybeth S.

Yelp

I have visited this particular location of Taco bell a couple times and my visit is usually nice. They have good service. However last night I ordered some good and today I am so sick! I'm pretty sure it came from here and I'm pretty sure it's good poisoning! Beware!

Marisa X.

Yelp

This taco bell is fast and never has messed up my order. The drive thru line moves quickly. So don't be too overwhelmed if you arrive and see it super long. They are super fast.

S M.

Yelp

After waiting in line for 14 mins, I decided to write this review. They had one person on the register with about 12-15 people in line. One customer was ordering for about 5 people and had an extensive list. While all the employees were pleasant, especially the one lady at the register, I wouldn't ever recommend this place for lunch. From the time I walked in the door, it took 23 minutes to get a number 3 (3 taco supremes). Like most people, I have a 30 minute lunch.
