Taco Bell 1501 West 6th Street, The Dalles, OR 97058

"I've seen taco bell get a lot of bad reviews lately. As someone with firsthand experience I can say that they desperately need a staff replacement. Half of the employees there don't actually follow the health code rules. They don't always wash their hands before making your food. They will touch their phone with the gloves the make your food with on, and not change them out. One of the shift leads will purposely leave things out of door dash orders or mobile orders because they don't feel like making it. They don't clean the soda machines regularly at all. There has been people who drink alcohol on the job. They will also close early because they don't feel like serving customers. And will usually just say they ran out of prepped food and to come back. The night shift will leave the phone off so they don't need to answer it. Therefore any missed order items or just in general anyone who needs to get ahold of them can't unless they go in or drive through. The manager doesn't actually give employees notice when they'll be fired and just takes them off the schedule. And when they ask about it he completely avoids them. They aren't an equal opportunity employer as they advertise. They don't pay the same rate. People who have been there over a year make less than the newer people they have hired recently. The pay in general is just sad and impossible to live on for any standard young adult. Don't get me wrong it's great for teens. But, the standards are very low for those who work there. And just seems to be rapidly declining."

"I'm definately a fan of Taco Bell but this one could use some retraining of staff. I usually use the drive-thru but happened to go inside (had to use the restroom) and was absolutely shocked by the mess in the kitchen area, I've never seen that much food and garbage on a restaurant kitchen floor before. Needless to say I left without ordering."

"Open late after all the other loser restaurants close. food was prepped nicely, and I don't even like taco bell I eat it once a year maybe.... The gentleman taking food orders and serving food was polite and patient. Food order was accurate! The chicken chalupas were tasty great job thank you for being open late and cool about it."

"This location is clean and friendly and will still take your order. They do have self service kiosks if that is what you prefer. Service was fast and friendly. Food was prepared nicely and looked good. Everything was hot and tasted great. We were not disappointed. Prices are still fairly reasonable. We got the standard crunchy tacos, bean burritos, chalupas and tried the new nacho fries. We didn't like the fries, nachos are tortilla chips not french fries. It sounded good but didn't quite deliver."

"Went to the local taco Bella just hungry and wanting something. Order like I normally do. Nothing crazy just some soft tacos a dilla and a freeze. Sounds easy enough. Got my food and when I got the food I got blue raspberry freeze which turned out to be Baja blast freeze. Then on the way home I started to eat one taco. Turns out instead o lid using chicken which I asked for they cut up potatoes. Using them instead of chicken. So I then in term just hope that they made me dilla right. I asked for spicy ranch added which it wasn’t and they couldn’t even take a sec to cut it. What a horrible experience when normally goes so well. Do better please just wanted a quick meal not frustrating dinner cause people wanted to not care about a person just hungry."
