Succulent and savory--a must-stop for an authentic Mexican dining experience you won't forget.
I was hungover and famished when I stopped into this establishment and ordered a Nachos Supreme and six Big Beef Chalupa Supremes. I'm lactose intolerant and sour cream gives me the trots but I'm a sucker for big beefy supreme taste, and this Taco Bell location brought it.
After I left this Taco Bell oasis, I drove through the night until I had a Level 9 blowout 90 miles outside Reno. That's a story for another day.
5 stars to honor the 5 ingredients in a beefy cheesy Chalupa.
1 Star
Same as before (no cheesy gordita crunch, no lava sauce), but this time, add "no friendly service" to the list.
Double Decker Taco Supreme - first time this has tasted bland to me; the hard taco shell was stale
Beefy Crunch Burrito - one side was only fritos and sour cream, the other side was only beef and cheese....it's like they hire blind people to make the burritos!
12/27/11 Edit - just saw a commercial for the "99 cent Beefy Crunch Burrito"....these sneaky f***ers charged $1.99!!!! hahaha
Does the job...
Limited menu bc its an express.
Doesn't have mexican pizzas, or cinnamon twists.
Small seating area that's packed.
It's connected to the Pizza Hut, so you can double up with variety.
Large bathroom - I know you have to go after sitting in a car for the last 4 hours.
Inside the travel center.
Driving home to San Francisco, a friend and I pulled over for a quick bite. This is a Taco Bell express, so the menu is limited. Â My buddy orders the #8 combo, (3 tacos and a drink which goes for $5.79. Â Even though he's younger than me, he has a shock of white hair. Â I don't think he looks old, but perhaps I'm just projecting wish fullment about the aging process. Â Anyway, he pays $5.64. Â
I go order the same thing. Â I am charged the same amount. Â Grateful and pleased to be paying less, I then notice why. Â I have a 10% senior discount! Â I am not sure if I should be pleased or annoyed. Â Perhaps all the comments "You don't look your age." aren't true. Â Perhaps AARP is right and I should join.
Oh well, I saved $0.58, so who cares?
We were headed back to San Francisco when we decided to stop here along the 5. It's a pretty crappy Travel Center with this Taco Bell/Pizza Hut built in.
They don't have certain items that you'd normally find at a Taco Bell, but when you're on the road and you want something fast that will induce explosive, uncontrollable diarrhea later, this is the place to go!
