I have to say this is the worst Taco Bell I have ever been to, consistently. I was last there 6 months ago, thought I would give it another try today. It is always terrible. They can't seem to get an order right. If you do get all the items that you ordered, they are made incorrectly. Seems like the workers just don't care. I will never eat at this location again. You are better off taking the extra time to drive into Springfield if you are really craving Taco Bell, skip this one all together!
Review Source:Yes it is just a Taco Bell but ...it is a very clean, friendly and polite Taco Bell. We tend to go inside not drive thru..our orders have always been hot, tasty, and most important to note.. accurate! Lobby is clean. .. bathrooms are clean..even after the lunch rush.
The staff has been super helpful often bringing our order to our seat!
I've lived in Republic for 12 years and, for the entire duration, I have always made a joke of this particular Taco Bell.
You're basically playing Taco Power Ball. It seems that with every order, I either get fewer items than I ordered, sometimes I get more than I ordered and on some occasions I get the number of items I ordered and they're actually THE items I ordered.
I eat out regularly and only have this problem at this particular Taco Bell. It's become a fun joke with myself and my friends because they're so reliably inaccurate.
They have always corrected their mistakes when I have brought it to their attention and on a couple of, hilariously comedic, occasions it has taken more than one try to get the order corrected.
To be clear I am not special ordering anything, usually about 3 or so items directly from the menu. For example, Sunday 03/18/12, I ordered 2 Doritos Loco Tacos and One Crunch taco. I received 2 Doritos tacos, 2 soft tacos and a receipt for the actual order I placed. I feel I came out the winner this time.
I guess what has made this such an interesting anomaly is that this has been going on for so long. It's almost as if the torch of inaccuracy has been passed from one generation to the next. Perhaps there is a ritual where the departing ruler tests the young heirs to the Throne of the Taco by giving them a series of challenges... the aspirant who manages to completely botch up the instructions they were given becomes the next Baron Von Burrito, Ruler over all The Bell.
As for the food itself, It's Taco Bell. You can't expect too much but it's on par with every Taco Bell I have been to. Some kind of meat with iceberg lettuce and a pinch of shredded cheese thrown from 3 feet away into a tortilla of one type or another, then hit with a hammer and stuffed into a bag, sometimes yours, sometimes someone else's.
