This is one of my favorite places to grab a quick lunch in Ithaca. I get off at 3 and there is always practically no line or wait when I go through the drive through. The supreme luxe box is a great deal and you know you gotta get the Baja blast with it. I have yet to have a bad experience ordering here although on my most recent visit there was no napkins given with my order which was a bit disappointing. Overall I’d say this is a great place to get a quick yummy meal.

If I could write a zero I honestly would. The quesadilla on the right is the first one I was given, cold to the touch and cheese not even melted. I pull up to the drive thru window very nicely, and the server said they’d make me another one so I pulled around to let people behind me get their food. On my THIRD TIME AROUND, I was given the quesadilla on the left. Absolutely disgusting, go to the triphammer location, this is wildly disappointing after a 12hr school day.

This is the worst Taco Bell I’ve ever been to. There’s poor management which is one of the reason they’re short-staffed. I ordered ahead online to skip the line, but ended up waiting 35 minutes for my order to even be acknowledged. Mind you, there were plenty of employees to be managing the lobby and the drive thru. After 20 minutes of waiting for my food at my seat, I decided to see what the hold up was. I waited at the counter for 5 minutes before I was being acknowledged, even though the manager made eye contact with me, and the other employees were swearing out the window without a care in the world. And when my order was ready, after 35 minutes, they slapped on the mobile order pickup table without apologizing for the wait or even sealing my order off with a sticker to ensure safe eating. I warned other customers to not even bother with their time. This Taco Bell does not respect their customers and I am deeply disappointed with their service. Don’t go here if you’re willing to wait 30minutes to an hour for “fast food.” You could enjoy a nice sit down meal with the amount of time it took for us to even be acknowledged. Go spend your money and time elsewhere!

I haven’t been able to get good here in at least 6 months. I show up for the later menu, after midnight and Everytime they close while I’m still in line. The only time I did get food someone decided to put something spicy in it. I’m allergic to a lot of things so I always read everything before I get it to make sure I can eat it. Putting whatever you want in it without asking the customer is dangerous. I couldn’t eat my burrito because I had no idea what they put in it. Do better it’s Taco Bell not a 4 start restaurant. I’ve worked in restaurants almost my whole life even a 4 start restaurant. We don’t turn people away. That’s not how a business is run.

Straight up 5 stars for the two staff working tonight.
My kids wanted taco bell. Been here 40 minutes in the drive through. And the lady taking orders was kind and patient. She must be exhausted and shes is still in there working.
Idk what’s going on behind the scenes. But she showed up for the hungery people of Ithaca.
Whoever is working at 8:16pm on March 7th…. Reward them with a rise and extra paid vacation days, will ya?

Easily the worst Taco Bell I’ve ever visited. I placed my order around 9:00. Didn’t even get my food until 9:30. Only to discover that my order was wrong. It took another 10 minutes for any worker inside the store to even acknowledge my presence. Meanwhile, they’re just laughing amongst each other while processing one order at a time (instead of preparing anyone else’s order at the same time). This was while there were at least four employees, so it’s not that they were understaffed. Finally at 9:49 I received the missing items. Neither quesadilla was even fully melted, and the employee tossed the bag onto the counter with even looking my direction. I don’t think I’ve ever had service this bad.

i have had a terrible experience with this taco bell for the last 4 years. Every other time ordering they get my order wrong (giving meat when I cannot eat that). They take over an hour to prepare an order, trapping us in the drive through for a mobile order we placed 1 hour ago. They made it so that the drive through is a single lane so you cannot even get out if you want to, making it a hazard. Please avoid this taco bell.

I was in the drive through for over an hour even though I did a mobile order and pre paid. Terrible staff. Standing around not really working much. I wasn’t even greeted at the window. Tried calling the number and they open 11-7 business hours so will be calling tomorrow. I did submit the email form. Just over all terrible.

IF you can spend an hour in line, the food is really good.
I sat in line for over 20 minutes tonight. I moved forward 2 spots in over 20 minutes.
Order via delivery service and it’s fast.
Go in person? Expect to spend 30-45 minutes before you even order. So frustrating.
Tonight I left without ordering.
There is ZERO reason to ignore the customers at your windows/drive thrus.
**Also, beware that the configuration at this location traps you after you order. There have been times I got right up there, ordered, and then was trapped for 30 minutes before I got my food. If you are in a hurry don’t use this drive thru.

Avoid you could get trapped in the drive through! Last night I got in line for Taco Bell and sat there for about 15 to 20 minutes waiting to place my order. When I got to the microphone the staff worker said they couldn’t take my order because they were backed up for at least 30 minutes with orders. I was now trapped in the Drive-Thru because seven cars were behind me. (Past a certain point at this drive through you cannot exit due to the building being on one side and on the other side there is a line of bushes, a lawn, and a ditch.) I asked them if I could place an order since I was going to be trapped in the line anyway and they refused. They told me that I couldn’t place an order. I asked if a staff member could come outside and tell the cars behind me to please move so that I could get out and others would not be similarly trapped. Again they refused, even when I pointed out this could be dangerous if someone had a medical emergency. So I sat Trapped in the Drive-Thru without being able to place an order for another 20 minutes at least. Finally I got so sick of it I was forced to drive over the curb and drive over the grass to get out via the the adjacent Bank exit. I have a 4Runner so I was able to escape that way but I saw many cars behind me who would not have been able to do the same. This Taco Bell has decided to do online orders and they are absolutely not staffed well enough to be able to do in-person and online orders. Be careful if there is a long line you very well could get Trapped in the Drive-Thru like I did! To the owners of this taco bell, until you are better staffed you should not be doing online orders at this Taco Bell, and if get food gets backed up then an employee inside needs to come out and let the cars in line know that they will not be able to place orders so the people in the Drive-Thru can escape. The way things are are now is absolutely unacceptable and if someone should have a medical emergency in the Drive-Thru I would be concerned for them. A classic example of greed out-weighing safety.
