As fast food goes, it's sort of slightly under par. The food itself is great, but the service is bad. Very slow staff at all times of day and around 50% of my orders have had something missing or wrong. They do correct it when you tell them but you'd need to know before you left the store otherwise you're contacting their customer service team which takes a long time. Also the self service kiosks are often out of till roll so ask for a receipt or order at the counter. However, be vigilant, patient and you get tasty quesadillas at the end of it!

The place is very unclean and doesn't smell nice at all. A puddle of grey water was infront of the bathrooms which was very off putting. Tables weren't clean with food all over them and not a neat shop at all. I got these offers on my mobile app however they wouldn’t work on the order machines so i went to the counter. The offers were put wrong and I had to pay extra. They also refused to give me the fries i was missing which was part of my deal, workers weren’t very understanding and welcoming, didn’t even try to help with my order at all.

I don't know who is in charge of this Taco Bell location but they should be sacked for not doing their job so many problems if that's what it's like on a Sunday night God help people very slow service looks like definitely not enough staff very dirty inside and outside the shop and definitely nothing special about the food I don't understand why you are changing so much when all the core ingredients is super cheap li don't blame the staff for anything I blame the Management for not having enough stuff and supporting your staff

We had visitors from outside Uk that wanted to try the food. The food was cold and soggy, part of the order was initially missing then rectified when I raised the issue with no apology just a ‘my bad’. The tables were dirty and sticky with bins overflowing. Toilets were smelly and filthy. Staff also didn’t care about crowds coming in for just a drink and leaping over tables etc..especially with children eating at other tables. Really not impressed

Went on 14 Aug with my daughter. Tried taco bell in cyprus and was amazing so I thought the franchise would be the same. We were served by sullen, mumbling teenage boys, no welcome whatsoever. I got the quesidilla meal and my daughter the chicken tenders. The chips were so overseasoned, it rendered them inedible and looked the colour of krafts cheesy pasta. They use the same seasoning in everything - the tenders tasted the same as the chips although the seasoning was used a bit more sparingly and the quesidilla tasted like the seasoning had been mixed in mayo, served so cold that the cheese hadn't melted. Awful, the only good thing was the ice cold apple tango.

This was honestly just bad. I don't have much to say besides it was bad. Staff were nice enough though, it's not a comment on them, but the food was bad and sitting in there made me a little bit more depressed.

The food was pretty decent, meeting normal Taco Bell standards. The restaurant was a bit dingy and unkempt.

My flatmate and I were in Edinburgh for an event this afternoon and we were stuck for food choices so we decided to give this place a chance. I was glad to see that they had the self service kiosks as we both have social anxiety and it gave us the chance to peruse the menu without feeling pressured to make a choice. We were also pleasantly surprised at the vegetarian options. We have never tried Taco Bell before, and weren’t sure if we would be able to find anything as usually places will only have one or maybe two vegetarian options, but this place had some good ones. We both got burrito meals and they came out as expected. Sure, it’s not the gourmet restaurant standard food, but it was good for what it was and the burritos themselves were quite large with lots of fillings. I’d say it was worth the £14 for both of our meals.

my name is sven svenny magnussen i am an international hitman from the faroe islands. I tried all food items here in one night, now i must disclose i have drank rat poison, had super lax and got punched in the stomach by arnold scharzenegger however... this cann not com0pare to my tummy issues and toilet problems aro8und 6.7.2 hours after eating this diabolical crud. My issues first began at 5.30 PM my tummy rumbled and before long my couch felt a little damp... then i stood up and my pants were dripping and made a massive puddle of a red liquid which tasted metallic(?) with a hint of garlic and italian herbs. Which my dog at least enjoyed as he licked it all up. My problems continued at 5.43 PM as my tummy rumbled again and i felt a sharp pain in my side. This was it.. the moment of truth........................ I sprang from my couch and left a large hole in it from sheer speed, then i slid with my socks into the bathroom where i clogged my toilet so badly and doodood up the walls that i had to actually get new pipes and a new house completly. I am crying because my pet turtle died from the smell and exploded. The service was good 3 stars

The first time I have had a non-disappointing experience at a UK Tex-Mex restaurant as at least this place's ordering terminals showed both the wrapped food and a section sliced through so you could see the contents. Due to this I was order to order a diversely packed wrap meal with a side order of a meat wrap. The drink could be re-filled so I took tjd time to eat, digest and think.

Disappointingly tired for a new place. I got served pretty quickly, but given the place was fairly empty, not a great achievement. I then looked for a table. Lots were available, unfortunately only a couple were clean. Was sitting for quite a while, and at no point did anyone clean any of the dirty tables. Finally went to the toilet before leaving. Had to queue, as all toilets were locked up except the disabled one. Obviously to save cleaning effort, the aim is to just get everyone to use one toilet. Unsurprisingly, it was pretty dirty too. The food was nothing to write home about, but decent enough for fast food. Would be a decent option if the whole thing didn't come across as expecting to succeed just because it's a Taco Bell and a bit of a novelty (for now) in the UK.

horrendous. the member of staff operating the cloakroom would not give my jacket back to me after losing my ticket following a casualty where an ambulance had to be called for my boyfriend. Very insensitive to the situation - the jacket also had my wallet in it which would have verified my identity. The member of staff even stated she remembered me paying for the cloakroom service and remembered which jacket i handed over. Totally uneccessary that i now no longer have my personal belongings - including all of my id cards and banking cards. shocking

A lovely spot but limited options on the menu. We enjoyed a few starters and a cheese sharing plate. Unfortunately the staff were not unwelcoming, not in a rude way just not engaging or bothered. They lost at least 8 guests by not trying to get them to sit down or talking through the menu. A real shame as the food was tasty and offered good value. The downstairs loo is shared with the restaurant next door which meant a few people, from next door, got confused with which venue there were in. Quite funny to watch. In my view, the restaurant could have been fuller if the staff had interacted with people coming in. A real shame as service was good once the staff made an effort.
