Sure, it’s just Taco Bell, so the food is pretty much what you’d expect. Plenty of deals to be had on fairly so-so Tex Mex cuisine. I had a chipotle steak taco salad, which wasn’t bad, but had disappointingly little lettuce and seemed a smidge overpriced at $5.20. However, I was quite pleased with my strawberry frutista freeze. A very silly name for a slushi with pieces of strawberry on top. But tasty and excellent value at $2. The dining area is slightly awkwardly set apart from the area where you order, but at least there’s plenty of seating. There’s a TV in the corner, which is unusual in the skyway, and could be a plus or a minus, depending on whether you’re looking for a quiet chat or a place to dine alone with a little technicolor distraction.

Price: Pretty cheap, since it’s Taco Bell after all.

Speed: Very fast. There’s a huge area allotted for queueing, but I’ve never seen it very crowded, and the large staff ensure that everything clips right along.

Seating: Lots and lots, though not a very pleasant or atmospheric room
