Taco Bell

This Taco Bell gets five stars for just existing. I have absolutely no interest in going to Wrigleyville for Taco Bell, and luckily enough, I work really close to this place. The food is always really Taco Bell-y, they're never out of Baja Blast, and I can get in and out within the confines of my paid 15-minute break.
Taco Bell is the best.
I love you, Taco Bell.

The only legitimate complaint I have is that the seats are really weirdly arranged, but it's pretty small in there so I won't hold it against them.

Ok, yes it is Taco Bell.

But Evanston is a college town, and this restaurant is one of the closest, cheapest places to eat for Northwestern students.

I give it an extra star for the Dorrito chip taco - genius!

Oh and love might be in the air there. Years ago, I invited out a girl I liked for a late night snack here. We ended up dating and, much later, getting married!

The lack of cheap fast food in Evanston is a great thing sometimes.

I'm forced to eat out at slightly more expensive, albeit much better, local-owned restaurants.

Sometimes I complain that there aren't dozens and dozens of fast food chains around the area (I'm from California where you can find 10 McDonalds within 10 minutes driving), but coming to Taco Bell keeps me down-to-earth.

Sometimes I really crave a super greasy potato taco or really bad nachos, but usually the food at Taco Bell grosses me out. This is how I'm constantly reminded that Evanston is a great little foodie town and that I shouldn't complain about the dearth of chain restaurants here :)
