Taco Bell

You can count on great service and the usual satisfying Taco Bell fare here – anyone who likes Taco Bell will be happy with the food. One heads-up: I've experienced people approaching cars for food/money near the drive-thru.

One of the most garbage Iocations I’ve ever been too. Takes over 30 mins for food at 2AM all the while homeless people run around harassing you and the drive thru. Close trash locations like this. I’m stuck in the drive thru waiting and my mobile order has likely been cold…

Who doesn't love taco bell.... It's just part of your life. So yes I gave it all 5 stars just for still being there and that's a good thing for everybody....

The food was very good as always, but the cashier had a bit of an attitude for no apparent reason. If you don't want to be at work or do this type of work that maybe she find something that makes you happy.

Orders are constantly not correct at this place. Check your bag before you leave the drive-thru.

For what I buy I rate this Taco Bell a 5. I get the $1 grilled bacon or sausage, cheese burrito. Look at crispy grilled taco, pretty generous filling. Tasty and healthy. Still, 350 calories each. Jan 2020 their Nacho Crunch Double stacked taco $1 my new favorite.

Look, I know that this isn’t the finest of dining but, it’s my guilty pleasure and I love it. My only complaint is the apparent, and RAMPANT, sauce rationing. I don’t get it. I really don’t. For most of us, the sauce is a necessary element when eating here. I mean, I get why they don’t put full bins out in the dining room anymore because they were probably losing a lot of money on people helping themselves to free condiments. But if I specifically request 10 sauce packets, then I NEED 10 sauce packets in my bag in order to eat my food. Yet, again and again, at practically every location, I get HALF of what I asked for. This last visit was a large delivery order for two people. We needed 25 sauce packets so we ordered 25 sauce packets. We got 6. Why? Are they THAT expensive?!?! That you have to screw people like that? Anyway, I had to drive back to Taco Bell at 1 AM just to get hot sauce so that I can eat my food that was cold by the time I got back home. It’s infuriating and it needs to stop.

Typical Oakland; area is filled with homeless people that block the drive way and try to talk to you while you make your order. The workers are also uncooperative.

This was $5. The small one is the size of a quarter. They know what they're doing selling these. The big one isn't as big as a jack in the box jalapeño. I've ordered this once before at another location when they first came out on the menu and they were much bigger. 2-3 times the size. Staff was polite but at the same time whoever decided this was ok to pass off to a customer should be fired.

when they don't mess up, the food is fine lol. standard taco bell. better door dashing using dash pass than getting it yourself. service is fine. if they're nice, BE NICE. they're doing their best. no dine in last i remember, only drive through

2255 Telegraph Avenue, Oakland, CA 94612 ( at West Grand, Near I-980 Freeway) Well, I believe this is the right Taco Bell. It's on West Grand, next to the freeway ramps, and down the street from a homeless camp. The other evening, I was the "designated driver" for some friends from out of town. They wanted snacks before getting on the freeway, and wanted to stop at a Taco Bell in downtown Oakland. This place has a drive-thru so we get in line. We mainly ordered the crunchy tacos supreme, nachos, and some burritos. The standard Americanized Mexican Food they serve at Taco Bell. After some time, we pay and get our food. We had to ask for sauces and more napkins. Good crunchy tacos and chips

I don't eat fast food that often but feel Taco Bell is a decent choice when I do. This location is just plain GROSS. 24th street behind the store is basically skid row. It's nothing but homeless people and so dirty. The homeless people literally are with you at the drive thru window, hoping you'd give them something. TB doesn't do anything about it. I went there on my way home today and ordered food. I gave them a $50. They change should have been $39.44. The guy giving me my money back gave me a wad of ones and a $20. He folded it, making it look like there's more there. I counted it and it was short $5.04. Common mistake...possibly but doubtful. The way he wadded the money up with all the ones was a bit more than suspicious. Count your money people before you leave. They are definitely scamming you!

Hello, I am writing this while ACTIVELY POOPING ON THE TOILET, I HAVE BEEN POISONED! It all started when I ate a burrito from this establishment. The workers didn't even bother to cook this burrito right as right when I took a bite my bum started EXPLODING, I quickly ran to the bathroom which looks like it hasn't been cleaned since 1 B.C! There is dust and spiders crawling on the windows and OLD STAINS ON THE TOILET, is this what represents America?!? I think so :), do not recommend unless you want your poo to decorate the walls, which makes better decor than this terrible Taco Bell:) 1/10.

My credit card info was stolen at this location. I used the drive through on Saturday and they handed back my receipt but not the card. I called them and they confirmed that they had the card. Then before I could pick it up they made a $200 fraudulent charge.

this Taco Bell food is good like the taco and the nacho fries it's service is good overall it's good.

I went into the drive through to order and was prevented by a group of homeless people who surrounded my car and the drive through kiosk and began ordering themselves. I then drove up to the drive through window to order and explain the situation, and instead of taking my order they chastised me for not ordering at the kiosk even though I explained the homeless people prevented me from doing so (by this time the homeless people were standing right there behind my car). They said it was my fault and I could have ordered anyway (which was false because I was physically prevented from doing so). At this Taco Bell homeless people horse-playing are prioritized over paying customers. I recommend no one go to this location.

Seems like an Oakland type of place. Also the dining room hasn't been open since the 2020. A lot of the food is cheap and it's sorta near other restaurants in Downtown Oakland. My favorite thing to get from here was the Cheesy Bean and Rice Burritos. I remember trying Taco Bell twenty years ago and I've been a patron ever since!

Before coming here, Roll 1D6 for constitution 1 - 2 critical fail. You order a cheesey Gordita crunch that fails every food standard known to man. Expect the walls of your bathroom and inside of your toilet to resemble a Jackson pollock painting in the next 45 minutes. You evacuate your stomach and bowels and writhe on the floor praying for death and feeling hollow. 3 - moderate fail. As you approach the drive thru window , a drunken homeless man comes along side your vehicle. He pounds on your windows grumbling something unintelligible while spilling malt liquor everywhere. Finally he pukes on your car and saunters off. 4 - moderate success. You arrive at 2:45am and are possibly the last car that will receive food. Rap music and weed smoke fills the air as the fentanyl dealers return to work, crunch wrap supremes in hand. 45-50 minutes later, you eat your lukewarm Mexican pizza. Your stomach quivers but does not yield today. 5-6 success. You receive your food without incident and it is tasty. So far I've rolled all of these. May the odds ever be in your favor.

Drive through took literally 45 minutes to an hour. Literally insanity and we couldn't leave because there's no room.

I placed my order online and went via the drive thru to pick up the food. There were 2 cars ahead of me but it took forever to get to the pick up window to get the food. The workers were nice though. The road to get to the drive thru in back of Telegraph is nasty. Homeless camp and garbage strewn all over the roadway. I felt dirty in my car just being in the area. The food is unsatisfying and below mediocre but, hey, it's Taco Bell. I wasn't expecting a Michelin star meal.

First time eating Taco Bell sober in like 10 years. I'm impressed by the vegan and vegetarian options. The ingredients seem fresh and portion sizes are huge. The combo options are better than I remember. The menu is definitely curated for drunk college kids. Love those Cinnamon Twists

Across from Legionnaire - thats a saloon - not a respiratory disease - and the people that stumble out of there depend on this fine establishment till the late AM. Tacos at 2am is usually fueled by prior excessive consumption of alcohol elsewhere. There are some other more traditional taco spots here - but i think most people choose this spot out of habit. As you go to the drivethru you will notice some big posts to stop cars from crashing into the downspouts and then you will notice a team of late night heros. I believe they are particularly quick here. This spot has some Oakland flavor to it.... Moxy is across the way with pink lights scattered all the way up the tower. Ready for anything and showing you a good time is their motto. Maybe take your tacos there.... A small detail I noticed is when the dining area is closed a couple of yellow cones are set in front to signal it. Makes things clear and I like that. Its a very thoughtful touch.

Gives me the best diarrhea ever. I luve the feeling of shart coming out my bootie hole. I recomend taco bell becuz its so yummy and its swag. I think is an amazing establishment. 5 stars.

you cant expect a 5 star experience with the taco bell at this location. People can already expect the service, quality and environment in this area. Most of the time the location does not open on time. The area is sketchy and occasionally have some loiters around asking for change or money instead of actual food. The plus, is the place has a drive through, prices are alright with inflation , and its a quick place to grab food. Everything else in the area is expensive.

foods good! but out of the five times i have been here, three times i've witnessed fights in the drive thru line. one was a brawl. ik it's a taco bell but like at this rate maybe they should get security loll

I went to Taco Bell around 1:00am in the morning, because I was very hungry, because I haven't had lunch or dinner the day before, I only had breakfast. I ordered two crispy chicken wraps and small fries, there was no one there except myself, so ordering was a breeze, and the people that worked there were so friendly and nice and the cost was under $12, just right for my budget, also my food was fresh, hot and delicious, I will be coming back.

Awful location, always mess up my order. Only drive thru too. Really frustrating experience every time

I received nothing of what I purchased except the freeze drink. No sauces. None of the 3 little tacos were what I purchased. I ordered 4 food items. So either they did not prepare it properly or they gave my order to someone else, and gave me somebody's order. I would've liked to have gotten what I ordered!

It's Taco Bell so you can't expect too too much but I've still been a little flustered with my most recent visits. I love ordering food from this Taco Bell through DoorDash to avoid going in person. 5 stars for the food.. but again it's Taco Bell The area and ambiance around this Taco Bell can be a little scary but what upset me the most was being ignored when I approached the drive thru window by foot. I think it would have been courteous if someone told me that I couldn't be served by foot without a car. This is especially the case since the McDonald's on 14th street does serve people coming in by foot.

This is almost like the only Taco Bell's in downtown Oakland. However, by far this is the slowest Taco Bell, that you can ever come to. The urgency of taking your order is long and crazy there's always long lines. I swear the employees almost take your order when you get to the drive-through window. I ordered three sodas, and it took almost 6 minutes for three sodas. and it didn't make any sense at all. When I can I avoid this place.

I went inside to order 2 chalupas, 1 Crunchwrap supreme, and 1 crunchy taco to go. I arrived at home and found 1 chalupa instead of 2. My expectations were too high I guess. Looking at how many poor ratings this location gets and its foot traffic, management probably doesn't care about this review. Regardless, here it is for taking my $5.39 plus tax from me. Think outside the bun, fella.

WORST TACO BELL EVER ! It's like the purposefully want to get your order wrong. I just don't understand how hard it is to follow simple instructions. I placed a DoorDash order and they did not get one single thing on my order right. All you have to do is follow a simple list. How hard could that be ? It's just sad. Don't waste your time going here. Hopefully they hire new workers or just shut the whole place down in general. If you don't like your job find a new one.

Food is absolutely amazing. Drive thru isnt the fastest but its fine because the food makes up for it. Everyone that rates the food 1 star is just expecting actually mexican food when taco bell is basically its own food group at this point.

Worst customer service ever, not a single word spoken to me just beeping sounds and orders being ignored probably.

tldr: poor food quality (even by taco bell standards), lobby closed, excessive safety/loitering/panhandling issues (even in the drive thru) this is the closest taco bell to my house and i still avoid it in favor of the emeryville location (rip) or alameda. by no means am i saying taco bell is a 5 star establishment, but your taco bell favorites may taste different here.. and not in a good way. the sodas are often flat and the fried foods taste like the grease hasn't been changed in a while. there's even an overall inconsistency in how foods taste from day to day. most importantly, there is a lack of security at this location - even with a closed lobby. the incidents that likely would have occurred in the lobby now occur in the drive thru when you are trapped and unable to move. during today's visit, three different people were panhandling in the drive thru at the same time. during my last visit, i was threatened by a man for making eye contact while he was messing with the wiring of one of their light posts. i have spoken to management about this several times and while they are sympathetic and share my concerns, they do not have support from upper management to improve the safety issues. the food is terrible so there's no reason to even try your luck here. just go somewhere else.

Worst Taco Bell in the Bay Area, never lets anyone inside to order. Had a worker tell me to walk through the drive thru, like are you serious??? The parking lot smelled like urine and I'm pretty sure I saw a guy smoking crack in the parking lot. Honestly, I'm not expecting 5-star service at a place like taco bell but the worker seemed to be happy that he held some type of power over not letting me inside to order my $2 stomach ache for lunch. I would honestly recommend going to one of the many authentic burrito spots within a short walking distance from this place. I guess the universe was trying to save me a trip to the toilet by not allowing me to eat here. AVOID AT ALL COSTS unless you like worrying about your car getting broken into. Yuck!

The food wasn't messed up, which is about as good as a Taco Bell can get. But it's on the bleeding edge of uptown gentrification, and with the dining room permanently closed you spend a long wait in the drive-through with nowhere to go. When I got there at 8 pm a homeless person came up to my car and kept asking me to order him something at the speaker until I put in my own order and rolled up my window. Then, while I was waiting for the food, a prostitute walked up the row of cars stopping at each window. So yeah: the food you expect, the experience you probably don't. Be prepared.

If I could give a half a star I would but I can't so .... But food was cold as hell order wasn't orchestrated properly at all best thing they had going was the lady in the drive thru but food was not it if I wasn't hot high and hungry I would've went back but yea this was a waste I should've just starved on my lunch break rather than taking a case of the BGs for this cold food.. you know how nasty food gotta be to be nasty even when your high Jesus

One of the worst Taco Bell ever!! They have people walking up to the speaker and order. They have people sitting around the drive through. The place is super dirty, this place could be a negative 5 stars.

Had to have tacos on National Taco Day. The assortment was pretty awesome. Sorry I didn't take photos of each. This location was a bit strange. Took a long time for food. People were standing near garbage cans to eat. No one really sitting. Not my neighborhood as I was just stopping by.

They get my order wrong every fucking time even after announcing the right order?? Makes no Fuckin sense this is my 4th time ordering with them and they always fucking up. Fuck.

this taco bell is go spot for drunk munchies. from billiards 31 i make my way down the st to pick up my crunch wrap supreme. the beefy melt never misses. i thank god every day for the fact that taco bell invented the doritos locos taco. best invention of the 21st century. man walked so taco bell could run.

The hours aren't accurate how is this place even opened? Don't waste your time here. Shaking my head.

dining room is never open. order online, walk over, told to go through the drive thru -- without a car! terrible management. eff that, and eff this taco bell!

There are a lot of crackheads here who love to eat Taco Bell but they're not violent. I guess like the melt or all the upscale fried chicken joints if you like this stuff it's for you. To me I'm not sure why anyone would eat this it's quite gross and you live in Oakland which has great Mexican food.

Hi, um even if it's a short line (3/4 cars) is always at least 30 minutes to an hour long wait!!!!!! They gave me the wrong item in my order last time and there's no way to fix it and every time I ask for hot sauce they say it's in the bag but never is. if I could give less than one star I would!!!

I love Taco Bell food so much but I have literally never had a good experience at this location. Either the drive through takes forever, I get the wrong order, or some other mayhem occurs. Tonight I was stuck in the drive through line when some police activity went down at the store but they didn't bother to open to service window to tell the cars there that the store had closed. I was literally wondering if I'd have to abandon my car and run if bullets started flying. I'll be driving across Oakland to go to another location from now on.

Great manager that actually cares about people . Huge shout out . I would support this manager / owner anytime

This location is not the most ideal situation. Inside is closed (forever it seems) but the staff is nice and the food isn't awful. The drive through line is usually pretty long and there are people waiting in line on foot between cars sometimes. Probably wouldn't go here by myself late at night but it's otherwise a solid Taco Bell. They always put my veggie items in a separate bag which I never ask for but appreciate greatly.

They food taste like hot breath. They just give you anything. It's not Burger King do you can't have it yo way. They gone give u whatever and I do mean whatever they want to. Chileeeee

Great manager.. Excellent caring human being. Superb customer service and people skills. I fully support this business. *****

The worst service ever, none of the employees here care about the customer. Save you a headache pick a different (taco bell).

Probably the snottiest, rudest bunch of a**holes I've ever dealt with. One clown shoved two bags to a car and let one of them drop. He then closed the window and the customer had to pick up the bag from the driveway. It should have been immediately replaced. Same guy shoved my change back to me in a crumpled up mess of $1 bills. I suggested he learn how to say thank you, but it was of course lost on him. Find another TB; dump this one.

Incredibly slow takes 20 min to get orders out . And that's with no like smh . Get it together

The Asian homie Max Payne with the du rag gave me the best service you mfers ever gave me at a Taco Bell drive though. How is this guy not a manager? Taco Bell slipping on this move. Deuces

I went to this location since the alameda location was closed and the quality here was not up to par. I ordered a cheezy bean and rice burrito (it's vegetarian), sub for black beans, yet they gave me a beef burrito! I've been a vegetarian for 23 years and I'm so frustrated. They should really be taking food production seriously. These kinds of mistakes should not happen. Period. Luckily my boyfriend was able to eat it, but that's besides the point. I bit into it, confident it was vegetarian. In addition, my cheese quesadilla was also barely melted. What's that about?

They take a very long time to prepare the fast food at this location. If you order with Doordash, your order never arrives as ordered or complete. I am not driving right now so my last couple of orders from DoorDash never came with the drink. The last time it came with the drink, you can tell it had been drunken from. You order a beef taco and they give you a bean taco.
