Part of this is my fault I guess for going back to the same terrible restaurant multiple times. However, since making fast food is not rocket science, I have always assumed that one day the Taco Bell on Bayless, in St. Louis County, would have enough half qualified employees to get atleast one order correct.

I had even not went there for a month or two hoping the effects of high turnover might work in my favor.

The most frequent complaint I would have about this Taco Bell in particular is their uncanny ability to screw up each and every order. I am not an overly critical person, and I understand that mistakes happen, but this is ridiculous. Once again, not rocket science people! If you order a hard taco, you should basically expect to recieve a mexican pizza.

However, my food last night made that complaint fade to the background. We ordered one of this 10 packs. The option to mix and match burritos, soft tacos, and hard tacos. We also added on the Mexican Pizza and Nachos Bell Grande. To my surprise, the order was correct and very prompt. So prompt in fact, that there is no way it was precooked atleast 10 minutes before we arrived. My boyfriend and I arrived home again began to eat. I opened up my bean burrito and took a bite. There was a distinct chemical taste. I thought it must have been on my hands. So I got up and washed them. I finished then took another bite of my burrito, same thing. The only thing I might be able to liken the taste to is when you inhale oven cleaner by accident and the taste resinates in your mouth. Thinking I might be crazy, I said nothing and asked my boyfriend to take a bite. He did and the first that came out of his mouth was, "This tastes like Windex". So, I quit eating that burrito, and got another thinking it might not have the same problem.

    get that food tested and to the health inspector asap. if they're contaminating the food of the people in your area, they need to be closed down.

    First off the Mgr should have refunded the purchase total from the register..she just wanted you to go away it seems. Secondly she should have communicated the urgency to investigate if someone mishandeled product in the kitchen. Taco bell doesnt have a means of sending checks in the mail for satisfaction purposes.

    So NOW have you learned your lesson, and will you finally stop going there? Does it really take chemical poisoning for you to realize this is not a good place to eat? And by the way, since you do not mention any side effects from your "poisoning" ordeal, I highly doubt that there was anything at all wrong with your food.

    To Paul Pickle 6969...ur a jacka**! Just because I was intelligent enough to not consume the entire meal and avoided getting sick, doesn't mean there wasn't something wrong. I wouldn't waste me time on this site writing a consumer warning if I was fabricating my story. My advice to you...get a life, and quit trying to attack people who are concerned for other safety. The very fact that 6969 is in your name, says a lot about your personality.

    Pup - I did some research for you and came up with little. This is what I know based on the basic chemistry. Cheeses, when heated, sweat. (Even at room temp). Cheese is made from milk. Milk contains a lot of sugar in the form of lactose...when lactose starts heating up, it's chemical make-up changes, as does any matter where molecules are accelerated. However, with sugars, a unique reaction takes place...it carmalizes. You may be tasting that which is left over that isn't part of the synthesis of the sugar. That or someone dumped windex in your burrito.

    I find it odd that "you gave up on you burritos and started on your mexican pizza" after that I myself would have been hightailing it back to tacobell!!!!! I smell the pungeant odor of bullsh&& myself in this story

    At least the food was clean! J/K. Seriously, like sue or something.

    I have to agree that after the first, ok..maybe second bite, I'd be done. No more tasting. On that note, I do agree with you that the manager(and I hate to even use that nice of a title) acted out of line. She may just have wanted your name and address to (a)pacify you so you will go away (b)egg your house. I'm not suprised at the service though.
