Taco Bell Birmingham Reviews
The food was good a fresh loved it
I went thru the drive thru to try breakfast at Taco Bell in 5points west area across the street from the old fairgrounds and it was amazing 👏. If you haven't already tried the 5$ breakfast box what are you waiting for ? It's possibly the best breakfast I've ever had. I had the vanilla coffee with a bacon 🥓 egg n cheese Quesadilla with the cream cheese bites. I recommend going I think 🤔 it was a 10 . I'll definitely be going back to eat along with the service was good and fast. Make sure if u are a sauce person ask for Xtra..
I asked for certain food literally easy. Two tacos. Plain Jane. SMH They refused to give me a receipt. I took a bite and there’s sour cream. So on my way for an epi pen. It’s like they smeared it off and said here you go. I asked if I could give her a dollar for more sauce and she told me to drive around. It’s not like you really care about your drive thru times. Y’all are rude and nasty. And what’s up with a soggy taco! You should see the oil dripping off the paper.
I ordered 2 steak quesadeas. The steak was not hot. The cheese wasn't even melted in it. It was not good. Do better.
TLDR; You lost a customer over $.27 Order #389 here. Placed my order in drive thru but it didn't show on the screen. Little weird, but okay. Got up to the window, paid, and glanced at the receipt to see they rounded up the charge by $.27 as a "donation" for schools or whatever. Man, how deceptive. Look, I've got that rolling around in the couch so it really ain't about the quarter it's about the underhanded straight up theft that is apparently being encouraged at this store. I'm super disappointed because this was one of the best ones around my area but after this I don't think I'll be back.
The employee at 029135 named Monique is extremely rude and unprofessional toward both customers and staff. Today, I personally witnessed her yelling at staff members in front of customers. On a previous visit, I overheard her speak very disrespectfully to a customer who was still placing her order. Monique told the customer that her food was already made and that she was not going to remake it, even though the customer explained she was still ordering. When the customer questioned how the food could already be done, Monique responded by saying the customer “better know what she wants next time she comes to the speaker.” As a result of Monique’s refusal to correct the order, the food had to be thrown away, even though the customer was spending at least $50. The only change requested was soft tacos instead of hard tacos, which are not even the default for the combo. This situation could have easily been resolved, but instead it escalated due to Monique’s attitude and lack of professionalism. Her behavior reflects poorly on the business, and she should not be working in a customer-facing role without additional training or anger management.
Pulled up to the drive through window at night and I was told they're only doing Doordash orders. I told them I had a mobile order and they replied the system down. I worked in Fast food and I know mobile orders and Doordash come through the same system. That's was their excuse because the was to sorry to work. I'm not surprised because people just want the check without having to work. This has to been the worst location in Birmingham and I wouldn't lose any sleep if they got shut down and all of them lost their jobs.
Every time I go here there is a problem. I’m either waiting too long. My food is cold or they don’t give me the right food tonight. I went to the location and five points with I ordered two discovery Luxe boxes and one regular box. My food came in bags Not a box and I asked her why because I didn’t know what went with which box and she said they just didn’t put it in one and told me she’ll give me the boxes and I could just put it in there myself. All of my food Did not come with my order we were missing two tacos
I’m visiting from out of town and was staying in a hotel near this Taco Bell. I was pretty hungry and don’t typically go to Taco Bell however, today it sounded good. I stopped in and grabbed myself three soft tacos and three crunchy tacos. After eating the first taco, I reached into The bag to grab a second taco, When I found that I was grabbing something kind of slimy. I pulled it out and it was a used glove. I’ve never been more disgusted with a Taco Bell in my life. For whatever reason I am not able to upload a picture.
Night shift is very rude and disrespectful they don’t have any patience with the customers every single time I go to their particular location the attitude is the same rushed to order and mouths smart I also heard the heavy set girl and the guy on the head set cursing out a older lady no respect at all here I didn’t even get to order they told me to go else where cause I was taking to long to order
The food was not good, lettuce not fresh, drive thru female was not at all courteous, gave off a vibe, why are you here👀
The workers have nasty attitudes that give out door dash orders without them confirming the order now I have no food the few times I did receive my food the order was wrong an it was cold no condiments napkins or salsa look like it was rushed
⭐ 1-Star Review for Taco Bell – 5 Points South, Birmingham, AL: Disrespectful, unprofessional, and clearly overwhelmed. Me and my boo were doing a DoorDash pickup something we’ve done plenty of times. But apparently at this location, you're expected to somehow stop and speak at the drive-thru speaker for a pickup order... even though the lobby’s locked, the line's backed up, and there’s zero signs explaining the process. Instead of a greeting or clarity, the employee hit us with attitude before we could even speak. Talking about “I’ll make you go back around” like she had something to prove. Sis… you’re short-staffed, not running a boot camp. This ain’t the army sis . DoorDash drivers are not the enemy and honestly? Trying to manipulate drive-thru times by forcing Dashers through the line slows everybody down, customers included. Fix your system or at least treat people with respect. 💀 Because what we’re not gonna do… is act like you’re doing us a favor when you’re two seconds from a health inspection shutdown. Let’s be real. Slow is in now I see ..
Rude cashiers, told me what I can order, Was trying to argue with me bad customer service both of those girls don’t need to be in customer service horrible experience. They playing loud music in the drive through window.
Daytime, this Taco Bell is perfect! I just Doordashed dinner and it was awful. The chalupa shells were old and hard. Definitely had been done for a lonnnnnng time before my order was placed. Very disappointing to spend $35 on 3 items for two of them to be inedible. Do better!
This is the worst Taco Bell I have ever ordered from. I will NEVER go back! The service was TERRIBLE, the food was missing ingredients that should have been on the items we ordered without having to ask for it. We paid for extra items and did not receive them. The store had a new employee making the food and he had no idea what he was doing. It took an hour for us to get our food and it was not fixed properly. Then the employees tried to argue with us about what our order was. This establishment should be shut down until they get better employees and train them properly. DO NOT PATRONIZE THIS LOCATION UNLESS YOU WANT TERRIBLE SERVICE, IMPROPERLY PREPARED FOOD, AND UNPROFESSIONAL ATTITUDES. IF I COULD HAVE GIVEN ZERO STARS, IT WOULD STILL HAVE BEEN TOO GOOD FOR THIS LOCATION.
..drive thru is always long we waiting on⁴/1 for almost hour only to reach speaker and they said system was down.... Why is this the only taco bell were they make me feel bad for coming.. Like the customer is a burden..I went to Lakeshore to the NEW TACO AND WORKERS AND FOOD WAS WAYYYYY BETTER
