The quality is ALWAYS good and they never skimp on the amount of meat. We will not go to any other Taco Bell in the area because this one has the best food. We’ve never had an issue with getting the wrong order or them messing up our order. Highly recommend!

Had Louisiana garlic bone in wings. The sauce was tasty, and it had to be one of the softest plumpest chicken wings I've tried. Wish I had ordered something easier to eat for the drive home though

We just stopped at this Taco Bell to grab some quick dinner, and I just have to compliment the above and beyond kind service we received from the awesome employees who work here. I couldn’t write this review fast enough- I haven’t even left the parking lot yet; they are the best ever, super nice, patient, and super fast as far as getting us our food at the drive-through. Food was also hot and fresh! Thank you Palatine Taco Bell Employees!!
