My wife and I go sometimes. They also serve beer. There is also a pretty good Panda Express right there you can grab takeout from and Park in the beach parking lot. There is another Taco Bell cantina right near our apartment near oracle park. They have really good prices for alcohol compared to the surrounding bars.

The only issue with that Cantina is it has a really crap crowd and the quality is mixed on their prep.

  I'm curious what kind of crowd one looks for at a Taco Bell bar?

    Sounds like this is the one in SoMa in San Francisco. I used to work remotely for an office around the corner from there and would prefer to go to this TB for dinner (I'm a cheap traveler... My company doesn't have to worry about me expensing fancy meals). The issue with this one, if I remember correctly, is that there are a lot of homeless who hang out there. ("Un-housed"? "Vagrant"? I'm not sure what the proper term is, but I'm genuinely not trying to be offensive). Taco Bell is my favorite fast food, but I'm on a boycott after an app-induced billing error that ate an entire gift card... Their customer support is atrocious so I'll just spend my money elsewhere.

    Taco Bell in SoMa and the one in Tenderloin tended to have a lot of strung out, mentally ill, or homeless persons. It was nice that they were allowed to take a seat and enjoy water or whatever food they purchased, but it also affects the cleanliness of the restaurant. I once had someone while eating stand up and just take their pants off in the KFC/Taco Bell in Tenderloin... When I get to a Taco Bell, I look for how clean the tables are, how well-arranged the sauce/napkin station is, and how clean the fountain drink area is. If any of those are actively a disaster, it tells me the food quality is probably going to be worse (yes yes, its already terrible)
