Taco Bueno

Can I give a lower rating?
Service Horrible! Long Long Long Wait…
Very disorganized, items not prepped or stocked. Makes me fear for the safety of my food.
Still waiting after numerous who came after me have been served and gone.
Not happy with what I see going on behind the counter.
I like Taco Bueno, Member of club, won’t come back to this location. Not my usual Taco Bueno experience.

A friend told me about Taco Bueno. I gave it a shot and loved it! Hatch green chiles are in season! I had the taco with added sour cream. Interesting, as the taco meat (beef?) had no flavor. I also had the burrito supreme. Interesting. The taco meat had no flavor.
I think the best think about this place was the salsa bar. It had 3 – 4 different kinds of salsa and chiles.
Food Grade: C–
Service Grade: D (or order literally took 15+ minutes)
Worth the Money Grade: D
Overall Impression Grade: D

I’ve been coming here for years and seen the service go down like a slow sinking ship.
This location has made some upgrades inside and out… but it still looks like it’s old and kind of dirty… it needs a true remodeling, the kind where they should close for a few days.
The menu has grown so much over the years, there’s a lot of choices.
The employees are okay, just working the 9 to 5. I wish I had something exciting to say about this location, I don’t.

More like Taco No-​Bueno. Staff was nice, however the food was barely warm, food was soggy/​stale and didn’t taste very good. I took a few bites and ended up just throwing it away. Of all the great options that Irving Has I can’t see my self ever coming back.

This place is getting worse. Last time we went thru the drive thru you could hear the employees talking abouttheir customers thru the microphone.
This time we went inside. big mistake. There was a line of 3 people that did not move lol
Anyways, we ordered: one potatoes something burrito and one chicken salad bowl.
After more than 5 minute wait, my BF went up to ask about the order. He then was told that they were out of potatoes and they had to go to the store LOL seriously!!! You were not able to tell ordering customers that BEFORE they started to wait? Hold on. does that mean we would have waited an hour for someone to go to the store to buy and cook potatoes without telling the customers?
Anyways, he ordered something else. I got my salad bowl and it was a nacho bowl, with 2 !!! pieces of chicken in it, tiny klecks of stuff of salad. Since I didn’t order this o né I went back and asked what this was plus why is there only 2 pieces of chicken in it and it was so tiny that for the price of $ 6 it made no sense. The guy looked at me and asked:
So what’s wrong with it? Excuse me!!! I know this is not what I ordered, ME the customer told the store employees their own menu, that this was a NACHO bowl with 2 pieces of chicken and not even the correct size and I ordered a CHICKEN salad bowl.
I wanted my money back. They gave me the money back for the nacho bowl even though I payed for the salad bowl lol the Nacho bowl is way more expensive (with its 2 pieces of chicken and half size order)
I honestly didn’t even feel bad, these employees are rude, they don’t care and they clearly have no clue what they are doing.
This place is doomed to go under fast. This is the second time of horrible service.

what a bunch of incompetents, however they do have a good business model. you order something that costs more and they give you something that you didn’t want that costs less.
paid for a beef burrito, got a bean burrito.
i blame the manager not the employees. bad training,
went out of the way to get to this location, wont make that mistake again.

If you want Tex-​Mex but you’re on a budget, Taco Bueno is the way to go. Their ingredients are fresh, their food is made to order. In general, Taco Bueno has yet to disappoint me. I went and got a set of Chicken Fajitas along with a free taco (via a coupon). I love the fact that the fajitas still sizzle when brought to the table.

I so miss this place. I actually enjoy their crispy tacos and nachos more than Taco Cabana’s and that is saying a lot for me, being the Cabana Groupie.
Their nachos are top-​notch for a fast food venue. They use the thin tortillas chips and all the ingredients are fresh.
They have also started branching out offering food and dessert Empanadas and offering Bueno Bowls which are lot like the bowls you can get from Chipotle and Qdoba.
Now, this location is pretty busy so the dining, beverage, and condiment areas aren’t all that clean and tidy. I was disappointed, upon one of my visits, that the pico de gallo in the container didn’t look all that great so I had to opt out of adding it to my chicken nachos. However, that was one time out of many.
I wish we had this chain in Colorado!
