I rember the first time I read about a taco bell cantina opening in. "I have to eat there someday!"
Well it took over 5 years and I never eat at Taco Bell anymore. (Mind you I used to eat at the bell several times every week for years. Even competing a 30 day "Only Bell challenge".) But I digress.
Right down the block from Capital One Arena I couldn't resist. At 11PM this place is wall to wall. You have to use the tablets to order but I saw food coming up quickly.
My sister in-law insisted I get the Margarita. She also ordered it with 2 extra shots in it.
2 non alcoholic slushies and the Margarita were pooped quickly. The counter worked explained what they were and which was which.
Well I have to admit. It was so much worse than I expected. I mean had to laugh. Cheap cuervo blanco and slushy mountain dew. Not mixed up at all. (Note the cup on the left.) If I were 30 years younger it would have been perfect.
You have to dine in, so I drank it about as fast as I could so we could get back to waking.
The place is well lit and like I stated... Busy. The staff was friendly and keeping up the best they could.
At least I can say... "I finally got to go to a taco bell cantina." Probably won't do it again.

Food was cold. Atmosphere noisy and unsafe. Don't recommend this place.

Y'all nailed the chili cheese burrito during the Y2K Decades menu. It was like eating a piece of my childhood.

Absolutely terrible service. “Fast food” is a complete misnomer. I ordered a small order to be delivered less than 1/2 a mile away and it is still being prepared more than an hour later. Don’t choose this location if you ever want to see your food!

This location is supposed to operate 24 hours; however, during the night shift it takes an excessive amount of time for staff to respond at the pickup window. The service bell appears to be broken, and the music inside is so loud that staff do not hear customers knocking. When I finally received my order, the food was not served hot, which is very disappointing. This was literally like 10 mins from me writing this .
