16 reviews for KFC / Taco Bell
I wish I could hate KFC, but because my father brought home the bucket so often I have a high tolerance for the stuff.
Ok fine. Honestly, sometimes I crave something this greasy, crispy, and juicy.
Came here with said craving, ordered 4 pieces for me and my roommate, they threw in a couple biscuits, I was in and out. Fresh, hot, and crispy.
Stars for service and quality.
First they get my order wrong!
Second they forget my coleslaw!
Third they say they did give me my coleslaw!
Forth the said in Spanish "he's lying he trying to get it for free"
Fifth I know Spanish and told her in Spanish "where's your manager"
sixth dumb ass look on there faces!
Seventh got my motherfucking coleslaw which I'd paid for!
Eighth knowing enough Spanish to throw them off 'Priceless"
I don't know why I came here the food sucked except for the coleslaw
I could not belive these guys never coming back service sucked food sucked!

I turned the corner of Irvine Center Drive and saw this glorious building pull into view. A COMBINATION KFC/TACO BELL?!?!?! Near my apartment at USC we've got a Pizza Hut/Taco Bell but let's be honest KFC is light years above and beyond Pizza Hut.
In the drive-thru [my first KFC drive-thru experience!] I struggled to make the right choice. A 2 piece fried chicken meal and a choco taco? A biscuit, a burrito, and nachos? Tacos and cole slaw?
SO MANY UNHEALTHY CHOICES, SO LITTLE TIME!
Yeah I know what you're all thinking, 4 stars for fast food is an outrage, but get over your new age health conscience attitude and admit that deep down this place made you super happy. I know it made me ecstatic and that's why I'm giving it 4 stars.

I just had to take one for the team.
If you're wondering how that new KFC grilled chicken tastes like, read on. As part of their promotion, I picked one up for free today out of sheer curiosity. I read the fine print somewhere that it's up to the manager of each restaurant to determine what piece of chicken they would be giving away. I was secretly hoping for a nice, big piece of either the thigh or breast. Dream on. I'd have to settle for a measly drumstick at this location.
My first impression was that this piece of chicken was extremely salty, especially on the skin. Was it marinaded in a salt solution? Although the dark meat was juicy and tender, there was no unique flavor to the meat that distinguishes itself from the competition like El Pollo Loco. Whether you're a fan of EPL or not, one thing is for sure, you can count on tasting that signature citrus-marinated flavor. With the KFC grilled chicken, it's just chicken and salt. No charcoal flavor, no unique spices... just a salty aftertaste.
We all know that it can be a bit of a chore to fry your own chicken. But grilling chicken is a different story. Take some chicken, marinate and season with whatever you like, then either bake, broil, or grill it on the BBQ. Easy peasy. And if that's too much cooking for you, you can always hit up Costco and pick up a rotisserie chicken. It has more flavor than KFC's grilled chicken, that's for sure.

Ok ok, I'll admit, I watch Oprah with my wife! Yesterday, she announced that KFC is giving away the grilled chicken 2-piece combo meal. That's 2 pieces of their new grilled chicken (likely dark meat), 2 sides and a biscuit. This offer is good until 5/19/09. You must download the coupon from http://oprah.com/kfc and there's a download time restraint. And in order to download, you have to install a program. This program prevents people from printing 5,000 copies and having free KFC for breakfast, mid-monring snack, lunch, mid-afternoon snack, dinner and late night snack until 5/19. I believe you can only print 4 times (good luck with that!). There's an 8 year old kid in San Jose hacking into the system now! What a logistic nightmare! But for customers, it's a dream come true!
I went for lunch today. Arrived at about 11:30. The line was out the door but not too bad. At this particular KFC, they had two lines; with and without coupons. I thought that was a great idea. Believe it or not, several customers actually paid for their meal (they shouldn't stand in line with us cheap fools). I got to the front of the line in about 10 minutes and another 15 minutes to get my food.
Overall, everything went very smoothly. They didn't mess up my order and the food came out piping hot! The grilled chicken was juicy but a bit salty. The potato wedges was salty as well but not bad. The cold slaw was decent. The biscuit was hot and fluffy.
It was an average meal but because it's free, it deserves an above average rating. I still can't believe this deal is until 5/19. WOW!

I just spent a lot of money in Vegas, I was hungry and tired, there were KFC coupons on the table, KFC is across the street. You do the math.
I got the $3 meal which comes with a leg and breast, one side, and biscuit. That's a pretty damn good deal! I also got the honey bbq snacker which was actually pretty good given that it was 99 cents. I tried this one at the KFC at UCI and the chicken was DRENCHED in sauce that I couldn't eat it. It was pretty good here. I ate it on the drive back to my house. That's how hungry I was.

I never imagined writing a review for a fast food chain, but "never say never." Typical drive through experience; long delays with no service..lol..anyway..ordered the family 10 piece mixed meal with the new grilled chicken and extra crispy....but the best part of the meal is that they ran out of biscits..your thinking that's crazy, right? KFC out of biscuits?..i ordered cole slaw and corn as sides and they threw in 4 extra corns at no charge..and I am talking about the corn on a stick wrapped in aluminum foil..it was so good with a slab of butter..hopefully they will run out of biscits more often!

I know that my credibility as a trustworthy Yelper is probably going down the chute with this review but I'm okay with it.
You really have no idea how happy I am that KFC brought back the "sauceless" hot wings. Back in junior high and high school, that's about the only chicken item I would order from KFC. Although back then, the gi-normous order was packed in a box, not a bucket. This decade's hot wings are much juicier and bigger (maybe it's those mutant KFC chickens) than their predecessors.
Now moving onto this specific location of KFC. This one is less busy than the one next to UCI (for obvious reasons). That's always a plus in my book. According to their Web site, they're equal distances away from my work and since I'm taking local roads to both, the one which offers less wait wins.
Prices have gone up quite a bit this decade and I dare say the individual serving of mashed potatoes has shrunken. Now when you lift off the lid, it no longer explodes on the table.
Minus one star for the lack of a combo that includes the new hot wings. Oh, and for going from an order of 6 to an order of 20. That's a big jump. The saucy ones go from 5 to 10 to 20, I think.
YAY for hot wings!

You know what's cool about KFC? They have coupons for great deals which I get in my mail box every once in a while. I was doing some errands over the weekend, and I was getting really hungry, so I thought I'd check out KFC.
I parked and went inside the restaurant instead of going through the drive thru, since I'm trying to save gas and the line of cars was long, plus I figured it easier to use a coupon face-to-face with the cashier.
When it was my turn to order, I whipped out my coupon and said "I'll have this!" It was a deal to buy a large drink and get a chicken sandwich FREE.
After I paid, I filled up my cup with Lipton's raspberry iced tea, and then my sandwich was ready to go a few minutes later. And surprisingly, it was pretty tasty!
Aahhhh....I love coupons.

I stopped coming here in 2006 but I'm sure management and service have improved since then.
To quote a friend...
Friend: one time I ordered a 10 piece and they gave me 6 pieces.
Friend: then I ordered a 6 piece and got a 10 piece.
Friend: so i guess it evens out.

I was too lazy to drive to a REAL chicken wing place so I came here instead. What a nightmare. I get to the window and the woman asks me if it's ok they put 4 boneless wings into my order. I didn't really want to wait any longer than I'd already waited so I said fine.
So there I am in my car, I opened up the box to let out the steam and I realize that these wings are doused in sauce. Hmmm, maybe it's my fault. In Hawaii when I've had them, the hot wings were dry. These are buffalo wings. Okay never mind.
I then grab one and started eating. WTF's up with these boneless wings? Aren't wings supposed to have bones in them? They just tasted like buffalo chicken nuggets.
When I finally got home and started to dig into my wings, I was like "WTF again?" These were wings from what? Pigeons? Quails? They were the size of my pinkie. They were so small I could put them whole into my mouth (okay and I don't have a big mouth if that's what you're thinking).
So big big disappointment and I guess it's really my fault for not driving farther to get some real ones. The ones at Wingstreet were SOOOO much better.

Just your average run of the mill Taco Bell/KFC combo, but the drive through is much more difficult to navigate than others. The building used to be a Monterey Fish Co seafood restaurant, and the drive through window is basically just an old preexisting window from the seafood place. No overhang or anything like that, and it's sandwiched between two columns. Makes grabbing the food and paying a bit of a stretch.
A bonus result of this is the small mound of change and condiments on the ground underneath the drive through window. There's always plenty of quarters. You can practically pay for your food just off the change you find in front of the drive through window!
Another time I found a chicken leg just randomly thrown into my Taco Bell order. Not wrapped up or anything, just kind of chillin between my 7-layer Crunchwrap (RIP) and Potato Wedges.
They don't have a full Taco Bell menu, so be flexible with your order.

Let me start off by saying that this isn't even the right KFC I'm reviewing for, I'm jus too lazy to search for it.
Moving on...
I eat at the KFC/Taco Bell at University Center in UCI because I'm dirt poor and can't afford shit. Anyway, the main purpose of this review is to tell you theres this one mexican chick that works there, she's pretty hot. I'd like to dip my burrito all over her taco, know-what-i'm-sayin???
Also, make sure to ask for ketchup when you order a snacker. It's only 99 cents, which is good for me, because that's like my daily budget!

One of those "combo" places that Pepsi owns (KFC-Taco Bell-Pizza Hut). Here, the combo is an intestines-bursting combination of KFC and Taco Bell.
I've gone through the drive through here twice; both times, my order was fucked. One time, they put someones Gordita in the bag with my KFC plate, and another time, I got mashed potatoes, gravy and a fork when I ordered a quesadilla.
Enough said.
it's about 8:30 in the morning. i unwillingly stayed up until 6am in LA, drunk, the night before and had to get up at 7:15 to drive to work in the morning. we finally get into irvine and i'm starving. the only thing i can think to get quick is taco bell and the ONLY thing i want is a 7 layer, fresco style. i pull up to the window:
worker: what can i get for you?
me: 2 seven layers, fresco style.
worker: uhh, we don't have seven layer burritos.
i look at my friend that's with me, we both have looks of disgust/panic on our faces.
me: WHAT KIND OF A TACO BELL IS THIS!?
worker: excuse me?
me: nothing... i'll just have... ugh... 2 bean burritos, fresco style.
seriously, what the hell? i know you have beans, lettuce, tomato, guacamole, rice and pico de gallo in there, you B. don't hold back on me. i'm convinced it's KFC's fault for being attached. just another reason to add to the list of why i hate KFC and everything associated with it.
