This is a place where homeless people congregate. They sit around it seems in their very own reserved area and do not order food. The manager Michelle , does not do her due diligence to fix the problem . ..she gives them free food and in fact she encourages all of this by taken one of them home, not to mention that she smokes marijuana with them right outside the taco bell. The smell goes into surrounding businesses .I am constantly harassed and often feel threatened. There is always a 3 legged dog that hangs out with them, It says that pets are not allowed, but that is also being ignored.this is this worst Taco Bell ever and gives the tourist driven town
Of Monterey a bad look. We don’t want to end up like San Francisco do we?

This Taco Bell is honestly worse than the Seaside, And every location I’ve been to, and that’s saying a lot. First off, no breakfast. None. And I didn’t even see coffee on the menu.
The smell inside is unreal. I can’t even describe it. Sometimes the front doors are wide open, probably to air the place out, but that’s not a solution. Leaving the doors open like that is a straight up hazard. Mice and rats don’t need an invitation…they’ll come in for shelter and warmth whether it’s “real” food or not. It’s common sense.
There’s zero control over what’s going on in the dining area. Same people hanging around every time I’ve been there, loitering, helping themselves to soda without paying, which makes the place feel uncomfortable.
This place seriously needs security, or something. I was so grossed out I didn’t even order anything to go.

This gal came of her shift, at 8:06 pm tonight, and STOKED my 7 year old boys… and me. She had the Christmas Spirit and this was the last place we expected it, and actually, the first Christmas Spirit of the Season. My kids said that was so nice… and I agree. Merry Christmas to you wonderful lady.

Spent $10 for two items (remember when TB was affordable?) I asked for a water cup when I got my food because some of us don’t like chugging Flavored corn syrup from the fountain. I was informed that they “no longer have water cups”. Not for (over)paying customers, nobody. This place sucks. Spend your $10 next door. Gross.

Took genuinely 30 minutes to get my food. There were about 6 workers who were taking turns going to the bathroom for about 15 minutes each. Then I received my Crunchwrap and they somehow forgot to put the beef in it. Absolute worst experience I’ve ever had at a Taco Bell.

Taco Bell is the goat of late night deliciousness. I’ve stopped in to this location from time to time on my many Monterey trips and it’s a beacon of awesome in the night. Whether you want something sweet like a Cinnabon bite or savory like a cheesy Gordita crunch, they got you covered. The staff was friendly and the restaurant was clean. Will definitely be back.

As of Sept. 2025 they are struggling to even take orders. At best, it’s mediocre food and when the service end doesn’t work there is no point. You have to order from the kiosk and if you want to pay with cash at the counter, nobody comes to take it. I just waited 15 minutes and walked out. Until they change something, I won’t be back. There are several Mexican restaurants within walking distance, so keep playin hard to get.

The people that work at the restaurant are not rude, but very shorthanded. I live in the neighborhood and I usually anticipate a 30 minute wait. Today it was 45 minutes. Unfortunately, you cannot get a refund on the Taco Bell app. Otherwise, if I’m willing to wait 30 to 45 minutes, I will always get food. I know they are doing what they can.

This place needs better management. Especially in the evenings. It’s ridiculous how many times your order will be pushed back. This has happened 3x in a row. They know nothing else is open and they act like it, so they don’t care about you.

How do you rate a Taco Bell? Is it clean, do the servers act like they want to be there, was the order accurate, and does the food look like it does on the menu. You don’t compare with restaurants. Tbis is a solid Taco Bell. Thank you.
