I just got back from checking out the Taco Bell free taco promotion, thanks to Tacoby Bellsbury. First stop, the Enfield, CT Taco Bell.

Enfield Taco Bell

The Taco Bell in Enfield was full of high school students, with a line of about twenty five in front of me. However, the place was prepared, and the line moved quickly. I did see one group scam some extra tacos by ordering inside, then going outside to the drive thru. All in all, everything was organized and people in general seemed to be happy getting a free taco.

Then I headed over to West Springfield, MA.

West Springfield Taco Bell

This branch was very busy. They have a small parking lot, and it was full. The line for the drive thru was out into the street. I didn't stop to get another taco. Seems the promotion is going well in this area.

Update: Steve Timberlake sends this update from Hawaii:

I got to the Taco Bell on Kamehameha Highway in Pearl City, Hawaii at 2:20 Tuesday afternoon, the day of the Steal a Base, Steal a Taco promotion. As you can see by the enclosed photo, there was no line outside. In fact, there were only two parties seated inside, and the drive-through lane was empty. I was able to get my free taco (and it was reasonably good) in minutes. The counter help knew what to do, but they hadn't been overwhelmed. 2:00pm is late for lunch out here; I wonder what will happen later today during rush hour.

Do you want photos from the hinterlands? If so, I'll take my camera out.

I shoulda worked harder on the photo, but I was in a hurry. I had an ice cream cake in the car for my sister's birthday this evening. ;)

Our local Taco Bell here in Monterey Park was more like the one in Pearl City, even though it's right across the street from a junior college. I figured there'd be a lot more of a crowd.

I got mine. While I was there about ten people came in and got 'em, and half ordered additional items...

I got my free taco, grilled steak taquitos and a small soda. Not even sure that saved much over the comparable combo meal, but it's the principle...
