What diners are saying
Diners consistently praise this Manhattan Taco Bell location for its surprisingly fresh food and efficient service, often calling it the best in the city. Guests highlight the Cantina chicken menu as a tasty, healthier option and celebrate classics like the 7-layer burrito, alongside the convenience of self-service kiosks and quick order fulfillment. The spacious, open-air atmosphere with large windows for people-watching is a major draw, though some note the "Cantina" decor can feel a bit dark and mention a lack of complimentary water cups.
