More reviewers landed on 5 stars than any other score — 6 of 17. 10 of 17 rated reviews are four stars or higher; 6 are two or lower. What nobody raises here is serving size — it goes unmentioned across all 17 reviews.
The inspection lands in between as well: DBPR graded this kitchen a B (83/100), citing 1 high-priority, 2 intermediate, and 3 basic violations. That result dates from June 19, 2026. The trend across inspections is decline. On health score it sits safer than 22% of the Brevard County restaurants we grade.

I ordered food without sour cream because I'm allergic. Everything had sour cream removed and I asked at the window if the sour cream was removed to double check just to get a rude response of "i dont know I didnt cook it, it's what you ordered". When I got home all of my food had sour cream on it and I slept hungry that night. Its not hard to listen to customizations.

I walk in and watch 5 employees ignore me while there all on there phones in an empty restaurant for about ten mins . I walked out . Pathetic lazy

Eat like a king for $10

I ordered four supreme tacos to go. I found two of them were missing tomatoes at home. Check before you go home.
-
Went through drive through seconds after placing my order and they barely had me wait at all till i received it with all my customizations perfectly done. Only downside was that i didnt receive a fork for my fiesta potatos.

Employees not attentive.

Fast and fresh best taco bell experience here today

My grandkids get off their cruise ship, and where do they wanna eat FIRST? Si'! Taco Bell! My daughter used the app for considerable savings feeding her party of eight ... And they ATE .. and ate well.

Dude…this place has gotten so cheap and dry…loved me their cheesy Gordita crunches, but now they’re dry and stale…so depressing 😭
-
Douglas Very nicely treated very patient with my client. The food was prepared fast . Nice and clean
-
I gave it the 4th star because Taco Bell is consistent. When I need something late and need something pretty good, the Bell always has me covered. Its never amazing but its never bad. Also stop taking away the double decker taco! If its late night and you plan to drink to much or already have make a run to the border and go for the Bell.

My favorite Taco Bell!!! Hell yeah! Consistent food, service The best 👌
-
Staff is extremely slow, rude, and care-free. I waited over an hour for my food while they gossiped on an on. I cannot believe that a Taco Bell is allowed to run this way. How shameful
-
I haven’t stepped foot in Taco Bell or any of the popular fast food restaurants in many years. Ever since I learned how their food is kept & processed. Unsanitary, meats & beans at wrong temperatures where bacteria can form, so I’m sorry I can’t rate them other than to say go make a sandwich at home. It’s much safer.

-
