Ranked: Every Taco Bell In King County

SEATTLE, WA - There's something funny about Taco Bell. It's the fast food chain most commonly associated with pot smokers. The chain has kind of leaned into that reputation, rolling out stoner-friendly foods like nacho fries, tacos made of chicken, and tacos made of Doritos.

Most locations serve a funny taco-based breakfast, and unlike many fast food chains, you can get just about everything (except for that chicken taco) made vegetarian. There's also a kind of cult of Taco Bell, with people almost worshiping the chain.

So, we decided to take a look at the more than 20 Taco Bell locations around King County to see which one is most popular. As you'll see below, we've ranked each restaurant according to its Google reviews rating. One thing to note: every Taco Bell in King County got a really positive rating on its health inspection (except the few that haven't had an inspection yet this year).

According to the reviews, a lot of customers are having trouble with service:

"I don't usually complain, but there is something wrong with this Taco Bell. I've been there maybe 8 times since moving here, because my 11 year old loves Taco Bell, and have had a bad experience for one reason or another probably 6 of those times. One time I was stuck in the drive through line for 35 minutes," one person wrote.

15059 1st Ave S, Burien - 4
Health department rating: Excellent

The Taco Bell near downtown Burien has the highest rating around. And it sounds like the friendly (maybe too friendly?) staff has something to do with it. One reviewer says:

"I'm a bit taken aback by how friendly and fast they were. Normally, we all know the score. We pull up, wait for ten or so minutes while some dead-to-the-world kid asks us what we want. Then, as we pull up to the window, they greet us by reciting numbers...This place is different, they're very nice, and actually seem like they're having fun at work. Good job guys."
