Some of the best Taco Bell locations in the country are in South Texas, according to a new ranking.
The American business magazine Fast Company analyzed the Google Maps ratings of all Taco Bell locations in the USA to determine the five best and worst in the country.
The rankings were based on a weighted scoring system from Fast Company, which takes into account the average customer rating and the number of reviews customers have submitted as of July 30, according to the Cincinnati Enquirer.
The Lone Star State took home three of the five best locations – and fortunately none of the five worst.

The ranking also included “representative” customer reviews for each location.
Brownsville: “I’m in Brownsville for work and this might be the nicest Taco Bell I’ve ever been to. What made my experience so good was the staff. They were so friendly and attentive, the manager even came out and asked how my food was. Which was perfect. You don’t get that often at Taco Bell!!! I take my hat off to this place and will come back here when I’m in town!!”
Harlingen: “Excellent service, fast, friendly staff. If you have the app, highly recommend it. They have Pepsi, not Coke. Clean place. Takes more time to order than if the order is right in front of you. Two thumbs up. Keep up the good work guys!”
McAllen: “The manager there was great, he even recommended a vegetarian taco for my son. They are great.”
