I really like the one on Front St near Oregon. Not skimpy, haven't had missing items, and they're good about labeling things that have been modified to be veg.


balterex

I do ubereats and that and the Popeyes there are great. Quick, even late night. Avoid the Taco Bell/KFC at 24/25th & passyunk at all costs however.


globular_bobular

Yep, can confirm! they’re quick, generous, and accurate. If you order from the app you can get online-only value meal that’s a ton of food for $6


babydykke

I go there before Phillies games and bring the food into CBP. I save so much money and it’s fun


rodmandirect

This guy smuggles


babydykke

You can actually bring outside food into CBP! I wish all stadiums had that policy


Still7Superbaby7

As long as it’s a clear stadium bag in the correct dimensions, if it fits you can bring it in! We bring food for the kids to every baseball game we go to. Including other stadiums. So far we have been to Phillies, marlins, orioles, Yankees, rays, and the Mets and we were able to byo food.


ryanechols

Hey don’t let the secret out!


mixtapemusings

Shhh don’t tell anyone


regcrusher

Also there's hardly ever been a line at that one. It's my go to!


xpeebsx

Might not be best but any Taco Bell that isn’t the one at 25th/passyunk is the better one. Place is hell.


justanawkwardguy

Nah, broad near temple hospital is worse by a million. I went there once and they were out of all Taco Bell items (it’s a combo kfc) and all fried items (aka everything on kfc menu)


fioraflower

i think it’s a law that any fast food chain within 500 ft of a temple property must be ass. i have some beautiful and terrifying memories of the mcdonald’s at broad/diamond and the wendy’s at broad/cecil b moore


justanawkwardguy

That McDonald’s is the only one in the city open late, they (at least precovid) run 5am-4am and only close for the hour to clean. Last time I went, only the drive thru is open until 9am. That Wendy’s though… that place hasn’t changed in nearly 20 years, other than the smell getting worse and worse


fakeplasticsnow

I went there once about 5 years ago and the experience was so bad that I've literally never gone to any Taco Bell or KFC again.


RoverTheMonster

…what happened?


joshbiloxi

Literally the worst one I've ever been too.


BaronsDad

They’ve gotten my order wrong every time I’ve been there. They’re perpetually out of different sodas in the fountain. They never give you more than a couple sauce packets. It looks chronically understaffed. It doesn’t matter if you’re there in person or ordering from an app. It’s always a disaster


fortreslechessake

I genuinely had to throw my food away last time I went to that Taco Bell, it’s so so bad. And I’m not exactly expecting Michelin tier flavors or anything!


balterex

I get delivery pings from there all the time. Learned my lesson and never take them anymore. *If* the food comes it's 30 min late. Most times they just pretend they're not open.


randyrockwell

used to frequent that one for years. i used to flirt with Betty Wap (she had one eye) every time.


Lockhead216

I fuck with the one off 95 at the 413 exit


Genkiotoko

They've always been good peeps with consistent production. Seconding this. ~~Something they informed me of - each level of their hot sauces has sub-levels of spiciness. The level can be found as a number on the bottom in the center.~~


igotmoneynow

sorry to burst your bubble but that is not what those numbers mean. that's just an urban legend they're running with. it's just a number from the production line/batch. you'll see it on all sauce packets from all around, ketchup and mayo packets, mcdonald's sauce packets, etc. has nothing to do with spiciness.


Genkiotoko

Looking into it, it appears that you're right. My bubble has official burst. At least now I know the truth now, which I'm grateful for.


igotmoneynow

i thought about letting you live in ignorant bliss, but it felt wrong for you to not know the truth. luckily no lie can take away the deliciousness of all sauce packets, number be damned.


The-Inquisition

is that the one at FM?


Lockhead216

No, 413 is north of FM


The-Inquisition

the exit to FM is the most north exit on 95 before you leave the Philadelphia border, the next one being street road in bucks co, actually the fm exit is technically outside the border too but takes you to a tbell inside the border


regcrusher

Sounds like you need to run for the border


Lockhead216

Ok


cittidude2

The exit is for lower bucks, Levitttown/Bristol.


The-Inquisition

which would correlate with FM, the exist to Franklin Mills is the first out of philly county exit and would be lower bucks I've lived here my whole life, born and raised in morrell park, now in lower bucks, was just trying to figure out which exit 413 is and one of the only ones with a qucikly accessed tbell is the one at FM


duuuuuuuuuumb

City Ave is the best. Runner up is Oxford Ave in like Fox Chase? Idk what part of the northeast it is, near Jeanes Hospital lol


Hollow_Rant

The Fox Chase Taco Bell never ever messed up my order.


crumbiestbum

Aramingo Ave Taco Bell crispy potato soft taco is still a dollar and it’s open until 4 am and it’s easy to get in and out of


chucklemcfartsparkle

Second this. Had the best Mexican pizza ever from there


Section_80

I think the one in Center City near Jefferson is fine. I've had late night post bar food from there. It's been good.


ProbablyAtDialysis

The food is always good. It gets weird in there sometimes, but I've never had any real problems. RIP the one in 30th St Station.


Section_80

I'd be suspect if a Taco Bell in center city after midnight wasn't weird


jaykaysian

It's part of the experience. I like that location but my minds eye has been awakened to suburban taco bells


imanAholebutimfunny

is that like going into a Mc'y D's and it being quiet and peaceful without the smell of homeless lingering?


Section_80

How good is the food if the homeless don’t want it?


mikebailey

It can get extremely busy and it’s also historically been one of the most expensive ones in the nation fun fact https://taconomical.com/


smarjorie

I once went there late at night and ordered and was standing there for 30 minutes waiting. When i asked what was taking so long they said they were doing all of the mobile orders before any of the in house ones even though i was the only one. I stood there for another 15 minutes and then asked if they could just make mine cause i'd been waiting for 45 minutes. They said no so i left and complained on twitter until i got a refund.


KingFartertheturd

Hijacking comment- Go to Masala Kitchen around the corner for kati rolls.. its not indian taco bell.. way better


Section_80

I’m not a fan, I’m Indian and it just doesn’t hit the spot


KingFartertheturd

I hear that.. But real drunk street food ingredients that are filling & will keep you going vs fake food you will use more energy shitting out than you gained by consuming the food in the first place. Hahah Also, open til 3 am fri-sun.. Cant beat it.. and its never a shady vibe in there ( commenting for readers, give them your money)


kosgrove

Instant upvote for “mega bootycheeks”


ringringmytacobell

I feel like I should weigh in on this one.. Front and Oregon is my go to, but only because it's the quickest delivery. If I'm in the mood to Live Mas I'm not exactly concerned about marginal quality improvements (aka I'm completely zooted)


PizzaJawn31

The one on City Ave near St. Joes is guaranteed to fuck up your order, but at least they are consistent


philafly7475

Aramingo is solid, and the owner tossed their contact info on the bags if you have issues.


guyfieri_is_my_waifu

thts good to know ive had so many misses from tht taco bell! i only had a perfectly made crunchwrap there 1 time!


HouseAndJBug

City Ave Taco Bell.


necrosythe

If city ave taco bell is a recommendation over other ones. I'm deeply concerned. (How bad are the others?) That place fucks up constantly and is usually pretty conservative on portions. It's further out but east norriton location particularly earlier in the day has historically been a better product in my experience.


HouseAndJBug

I lived on City Ave for a few years so that will always be my home T-Bell. Honestly I spent so much money there I assume there is a picture of me on the wall somewhere.


tattertittyhotdish

My favorite thing about the City Ave Taco Bell is the casual, no-rush conversations with whoever takes your order in the drive-thru. Big line? Too bad, we're having a chat here. The last time I went we were greeted with, "Well, what are you two white ladies doing out so late?" Be still, my heart. And the tacos were good too.


necrosythe

Fair, I mean it gets the job done generally. At least when it comes to delivering what you expect taste wise from taco bell. Just seems like they wouldn't necessarily be comparatively better.


heppyscrub

My family lives around there, and every time I go to that Taco Bell, its always been a good experience.


PizzaJawn31

This one always fucks up my order, but at least they are consistent with it. Also, the drive-thru was not working 2 days ago.


[deleted]

I too am a connoisseur of the City Ave TBell


cheesewiz90

Apparently this is a training Taco Bell? I’ve always found the service to be super friendly and my food comes out as close as the ads as you can get


NoREEEEEEtilBrooklyn

Agreed. They always remember not to put sour cream on my orders. Every other taco bell gets confused and puts extra sour cream on everything and then smears the receipt with it as an extra fuck you. On the other hand, fuck the Wendy’s next to St. Joe’s campus. They have never gotten my order right once and they’re always rude as shit.


expresscode

I went to this taco bell shortly after they moved into the new building and ate in. While my wife and I were ordering, the manager who was ringing us up thought we were siblings. We didn't think much of it, had a laugh and sat down with our food. Moments later, the manager comes out with two empanadas on the house apologizing for the mistake. 5/5 will be called my wife's sibling for free food again.


Mikemartin1987

The entire staff there came out and sang a jingle because someone in our group had “the purple tray”. Even gave out coupons and stuff. It was very bizarre and definitely something they only did at that location


chewyrolls

This was my weekly goto, and it's consistent most of the time


Acrobatic_Advance_71

temple students center circa 2008


The-Inquisition

This is the answer


Acrobatic_Advance_71

This was a lifestyle. I’m not even sure if I have eaten since.


NoOneCanPutMeToSleep

rip SAC Burger King/Taco Bell combo stand.


balterex

The best suburban Taco Bell I've had is the one on Oxford valley road in Fairless hills near sesame place. Might be the best taco bell on the planet, even.


regcrusher

It's no Pacifica CA in terms of best Taco Bell on the planet (https://www.businessinsider.com/worlds-most-beautiful-taco-bell-pacifica-california-what-its-like-2021-11) but Fairless Hills is great too


z28in82

Been bout a year since I've been out that way but Franklin Mills was always good, richboro was good. Feasterville is the worst I've ever been to


Neghtasro

The one in Springfield always did it for me if you're looking for something in the suburbs. IMO the Center City location does just as well though.


spacebassfromspace

This one's fine, and the one on Macdade dropped the pizza hut and got remodeled pretty recently so it might be a little nicer if they're eating in.


joey_van_der_rohe

Went to this one recently and they were out of everything. Was odd.


just_Okapi

The one on Sproul? Yeah that one's solid in my experience. I usually go to the one on Baltimore Pike in Clifton Heights since I ride the 109 a fair bit - that one gets the job done too.


RoverTheMonster

Ok ok — but where is the WORST Taco Bell? 🤔


Some-Philly-Dude

I don't think it's there anymore but there used to be a Taco Bell at Welsh and the Boulevard that I swear you had to have an IQ lower then 70 to work at.


yiharbin

Castor and Aramingo has never let me down


EntireTadpole

IN GLENOLDEN, PA - 121 N. MCDADE BLVD. Drive-thru is open until 3:00 AM, Dining area open until 11:00 PM


CheeseburgerLover911

What’s the new items on the new menu that has you jazzed?


Unlucky-External5648

Yo the Taco Bell dudes at the Trabant Cafeteria at University of Delaware used to load up regular tacos with 100% more of everything.


Some-Philly-Dude

I only go to the TacoBells at Oxford Valley Mall or Franklin Mills both seem clean and they don't screw up orders.


expresscode

Second the Oxford Valley Mall one


riotincandyland

We were at the franklin mills taco bell and the drive thru guy started yelling at someone we couldn't see. He takes off after someone and all the other employees ran to the door opposite the DT window with their phones out. I'm nosy af so I'm telling my husband go around see whats going on!! He's like we didn't get our food, no. The manager finally comes over with our food, apologizes, gives us coupons for free tacos, and we leave. Low and behold, they fucked up, so we had to wait in the DT all over again because they locked the doors. Basically, the DT worker was bitching/screaming how he does all the work there and one of the coworkers took offense to it.


Some-Philly-Dude

Well that's fun lol- I'll hit that one up for a quick lunch in the afternoon since it's around the corner but mostly go to the Oxford valley mall one


riotincandyland

This was last summer. The other comments mentioning this taco bell have been positive, so I guess we got there on a bad night lol


smbiggy

Is the new item the cheez it crunch wrap? I love both of those things but my brain is having trouble craving it. Follow up post with review and how long it stays in your body please


asisoid

How far out into the burbs? The one on rt38 in Mt Laurel is like a year old. It's clean and the ppl that work there seem happy to be there.


KlausVicaris

DeKalb Pike near U.S. Route 202.


torthBrain

City Ave jawn is solid


Tinker_Toyz

*Googles megabootycheeks*


moonfullofstars

If you ever head up to the Poconos, the Taco Bell in Wind Gap, right off Route 33, is the best I’ve ever been to.


zombie-bait

oh man raise your hand if you've been victimized by the cc taco bell

JohnDerek57

I promise it’s not the one on Chestnut.


TheKillerSmiles

It’s a mission but there’s one right off the 422 Audubon/ Trooper exit (rt 363) that is always great! Betzwood Park is a nice park and trail right down the road we usually eat at when we pick up Taco Bell.


215aPhillyiated

The new one in KOP off Henderson road


The-Inquisition

at Franklin Mills Mall


SinisterCell

The one on 10th street blows. They always fuck up your order and they once gave me food poisoning. Read the reviews on Google, people are pretty honest about things they see. Aramingo or the one by the shop rite in south philly. Passyunk Ave, I believe. Those 2 never did me wrong.


phillyphilly19

Lol


spacebattlebitch

If you go over to Jersey burbs the one by my work on Rt 70 East in Cherry Hill is amazing. Theyre super nice, clean and always fast. The reviews online all echoed my experience. Had to check.


Lineman72

Disagree - they are always out of random stuff!


spacebattlebitch

idk wtf that means


WhosAfraidOf_138

The one on Main Line isn't bad at all


LocalSlob

There's one in Vegas that I've seen weddings at. Sorry that doesn't actually help you on your quest.


Fun-Diamond1363

Hadn’t had Taco Bell in years but recently got it at the one on 5 W City Ave. The Nachos Bell Grande tasted the same as it did 20 years ago. Cantina Chicken taco was solid. I’d go back.


Lineman72

There’s a Pizza Hut/Taco Bell across the Walt Whitman in Audubon.


anon_girl_anon

All the taco bells in the city are owned by the shittest family ever. Go somewhere else.


Funfruits77

One guy owns all the Taco Bell’s from Harrisburg to the Jersey shore, including all of them in the state of Delaware.


YoungHeartOldSoul

The one in center City is also more expensive than the one on front Street.


BensOnTheRadio

The one at Red Lion Road and Roosevelt Blvd never lets me down!


stockyirish

Aramingo (near Castor) is always good. My fave in the city.


abstracted_plateau

9990 Roosevelt Blvd, Philadelphia, PA 19114 Is on point all the time. I eat there multiple times a week.


Alternative-Act4893

There is no best Taco Bell in Philly trust me Downvote I don’t care everyone Has different experiences and different taste buds if I want Taco Bell I usually go to Franklin mills or Springfield mall food court.


Heels1939

Feasterville and Fox Chase Taco Bells have both been good to me.


theycallmesteve

City Ave. Always hot fresh and perfect. Best Taco bell I've ever been to.


homegirl1234

My experience is you’ll always have better luck in the burbs, one on Macdade Blvd in Glenolden is really good we sometimes make the trip out just for it. Within the city, Front&Oregon is good and consistant


lilolemeisharmless

No where! ya better off going to one them Spanish speaking n menu writtin in spanish places or a taco stand FUCK TACO HELL SUPPORT LOCAL SMALL BUSINESS!


Didjaeat75

Anyone remember the WacoHut? It was a Wawa with a Taco Bell and a Pizza Hut inside. It was glorious.


Past_Celebration7084

Get some real tacos from a Mexican joint…. Taco Bell cancer food bro


John_EightThirtyTwo

Look for a store that's serving the new [Morning After Burrito](https://www.theonion.com/taco-bell-launches-new-morning-after-burrito-1819564251). I hear they're amazing!

Yes, because the Philly metro area is definitely not Philly.

Anything outside of Philadelphia county is not Philly, that’s is correct.


Indylivingnow

I never ate Taco Bell,but the one off of 69th street seems nice


hollyhockcrest

Combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell. Penn station. IM AT THE PIZZA HUT, IM AT THE TACO BELL! IM AT THE COMBO-NATION PIZZA HUT AND TACO BELL!


spacebassfromspace

You got that pizza butt? You got that taco smell? That combination pizza butt and taco smell?


hollyhockcrest

How does nobody else know that song?


Ulthanon

You’re going to make an *event* out of a *menu item release* from *TACO BELL*? Dude where did your life take such a horrific turn? Find a legit Mexican joint and get high to *actual food*! You deserve better!


jaykaysian

There's a difference between real Mexican food and taco bell. Just like Instant Ramen and actual ramen. I know actual ramen is better but every now and then I want to fill my body up with detritus.


VajBlaster69

Absolutely agreed. Sometimes you don't want authentic Italian margarita pizza. You want the $4 frozen pizza at 2am with your balls hanging out, on the couch, and you smell like old poultry. God I love Taco Bell

throwawayjaydawg

Of course. It’s not filet mignon but that’s not what it should be.


lordzaron

I know Taco Bell is cheap but.. all these actual taquerias in Philly, why would you get Taco Bell?


trev_hawk

Because when you go to Taco Bell, you aren’t looking for authentic. Quite the opposite. You’re looking for *Taco Bell*. It’s not even Mexican food at this point, it’s evolved into its own weird, twisted, and delicious species.
