Taco Bell - Raleigh

These guys are cool. I used to not eat at taco bell at all, but this spot has become my go to for good food at a decent price.

I ordered two Doritos tacos and was disappointed to find that the shells on both of them were bitter, stale, and had an unusual smell. Additionally, this order was a result of a Grubhub order that had been cancelled and reclaimed because the restaurant took too long to prepare the food.

This Taco Bell location is also a Taco Bell Cantina that serves alcohol. The food is standard for Taco Bell and the service is pretty decent. The prices are what get me. Very expensive for their drinks in my opinion.

Update 2/19: Removed 2 stars due to this location no longer serving breakfast (when I primarily ate here). Original Review: Classic Taco Bell with a Cantina flair. Great service and food on opening day. To answer some common questions: Does this have the same menu and prices as a regular Taco Bell? Yes, same menu items and same prices. It also has a sharable menu (think appetizers), slushies, and booze. Does this really serve alcohol? Yes! They have 6 beers on tap, and can make any slushie 'twisted ' by adding vodka or rum. Do they serve breakfast? Yes opens at 7am. Does this have a drive thru or parking lot? No, there 's not a drive thru. No dedicated parking lot, but there is parking on Hillsborough St (pay parking before 5pm, free after).

Serves the same food as other Taco Bell’s along with the option of grabbing a freeze with some alcohol or a beer as well. The freezes have a wider variety of flavors than a normal taco bell and they are delicious. We got the Margarita with rum and boy was it good. You can’t really feel a kick but it was worth the try. The margarita flavor itself is probably the best freeze flavor out there I’ve tried everything in recent years and have always been a baja blast fan but Margarita might beat it out. On top of the added features and proximity to a large college campus, their service was top notch which definitely has something to do with how new the location is. But, if they keep it up, I’m sure they will be a massive hit on Hillsborough street.
