What are the hours and when should I call?

Taco Bell operates the call center for this 800-822-6235 phone number 24 hours, 7 days. The short answer is that you should call on a Wednesday. This observation and the following section are based on analysis of a sample set of 1,223 calls made in the last 90 days using our free, web-based phone (see above).

Automatically call when they open

When you use our free AI-powered phone to call and talk, wait on hold, or navigate for you, it will automatically wait until the Taco Bell call center opens before trying to call. It will ask your permission before it places the call, so you can also further delay that scheduled call until you are ready. But that means you can "set it and forget it" ahead of time.
An important note: busy times vs hold times vs best time to call
When we refer to busy or less busy times, we are talking about the volume of calls. The busiest times are when the most people are calling this Taco Bell phone number (least busy times have fewer people calling). This high call volume does not necessarily mean that you will have a long hold time when you call. Companies like Taco Bell staff their call centers differently based on the time of day and day of the week, so you may experience a shorter wait on hold at the busiest of times. When we refer to the best time to call, we are referring to the optimal combination of lower call volume and shorter wait times.

The least busy time to call

The least busy day to call Taco Bell is Wednesday. The most busy day to call is Tuesday, which averages 17% more phone calls by comparison. Again, this is based on a sample of 1,223 calls made with our AI-powered, web-based phone in the last 90 days.

The shortest wait on hold

We measured the shortest hold times to be on Monday. The longest wait in the queue on average occurs on Wednesday.
But if you use our free call and talk for me or wait on hold for me service, you don't really need to worry about average wait times.

The best time to call Taco Bell

In summation, the best day to call Taco Bell is Wednesday. This is not the day with the shortest wait on hold in the phone system, but we still recommend it for its ideal combination of low call volume and short hold times. Plus we believe that Taco Bell staffs the call center well on Wednesday.

Calling this Taco Bell Customer Number

Adam Goldkamp is the editor / author responsible for this content.

Calling Taco Bell can be difficult because of some odd hours, as this number is available between 11 a.m. and 7 p.m. Monday through Friday. If you call outside of these hours, the automated system suggests for you to visit the Taco Bell website to get information about nutrition, locations, gift cards and the loyalty program.

The system does say that it can assist you if you have questions even if you can't talk to someone, but its assistance is of poor quality. Each time that you try to get information, the "assistance" is simply the system telling you that you can find the information you wanted on Taco Bell's website.

I tried in two different ways and found myself unable to get anything beyond that message. The first time, I decided to ask about gift cards. The system gave me a generic message about how I could go to TacoBell.com and purchase a gift card there, or I could fill out a form on Taco Bell's website. I then called back and tried to ask for information about nutrition, but the system again told me that I could get all of my questions about nutrition facts at Taco Bell's website.

At that point, your only options are to either hang up or go back and try something else. There's no way to ask for a link to the site, and the system doesn't offer it. Based on that, I was very unimpressed with the automated system. It's clear that Taco Bell wants to push people toward its website, which is fine. But it shouldn't give the impression that it can give help when it's only going to suggest going to the website. This setup cuts out anyone without reliable internet, and based off of it, I would not use this number unless absolutely certain its offices were open.

As a last, sometimes only, resort- Taco Bell customer service can be accessed through their website. This can entail digging through help articles before finding a form and "being allowed" to submit a problem to their team, and rarely leads to a real-time conversation, which is why GetHuman does not recommend this unless it's the only way.
