Taco Time

This is the only fast food my family eats. Fresh and very good. Place is very clean and well managed.

This taco time is clean, efficient, has above average customer service (as far as fast food goes) and tasty food as well. I travel between Portland and Seattle fairly regularly and I always make this taco time a pitstop. There is usually not much of a line and I rarely have to wait long for my food.
Regarding the other reviewers who have marked this restaurant down for prices, perhaps they haven’t been to many other taco times. Taco time on average is more expensive than other fast food restaurants and always has been. I think people have just gotten used to ordering from a dollar menu and automatically look for a low price before they look for quality.
Furthermore this taco time is part of the northwest chain of taco times that pays extra attention to using fresh and local food (supporting usually rural communities not unlike Kelso), which drives up the price. This Northwest chain also pays attention to using compostable materials or materials that are quick to break down, which means less garbage going down the street (according to Google maps an 11 minute drive) to the county landfill, another thing that locals should appreciate but apparently don’t.
So to recap… fresh and locally sourced food prepared quickly will usually cost more than McDonald’s (big surprise) and this taco time is above average compared to others I have been to.

Interesting pairing with the Mexican fries (tater tots). But for some reason it seems to work well.

We ate at the taco time in kelso
and my son was eating a beef soft taco when he says what is this and he pulled a blue finger tip from a glove out of his soft taco he took it back and they gave his money back asking him if he wanted them to make another! Really are you hungry after pulling a rubber glove finger tip out of you soft taco!

Odd Time Time. They added nicer tables and booths and have prices higher than other taco times. They renamed some menu items as soft tacos, but they’re in burrito size tortillas. Every thing was ok but not as good as a normal Taco Time. They charge restaurant prices for fast food in cardboard containers and paper wrapping.

I frequent both Longview and Kelso Taco Times. Both are always very clean and the ingredients are fresh. Yes it cost a little more the Taco Bell, but you get what you pay for.

Place was filthy, and food was bland. Customer service was non existent, and the guy putting the tray together had the audacity to use his bare hands to put tots on my tray. I love taco time, but this place sucks!

I stopped at this Taco Time in BFE after driving all the way to Battle Grounds to pick up my puppy. Very nice location, and really clean. It had outdoor seating, which was awesome to sit and let my dog out! The cashier that I had was very nice and made genuine conversation about me — they even had no problem giving me a few bowls to give my dog water/​food on the way home in. The only reason I give it a four was because something was really off about the tater tots… THE TOTS. THE BEST PART. Otherwise, it would’ve been a five.

When someone in my party asks «Where do you want to eat?» I always say anywhere but taco time.
Why? Because the food is average at best but the prices are like you are at a restaurant.
You drop ten bucks here for a tiny burrito, 8 tater tots, and a small drink.
It’s better than the tube tacos from taco bell but it just frustrates me to pay so much for so little in both taste and quantity.

OMG. Taco Time… Why aren’t you EVERYWHERE?
I have never seen a Taco Time in Cali, and we needed a bite on the go, soooo why not? Figured it would be like a tex mex Taco Bell, by their old school logo with a cactus. I was semi right…
But it was BETTA! It was actually fresh, and delish! I didn’t get a heavy bloated feeling, I normally get after TB. Their veggie ‘taco’ that was rolled like a burrito, and as big as a burrito, was served on a whole wheat tortilla. Their salsas were given in tiny cups, showing that they were packaged with care and fresh.
It is not ‘authentic’, but it was delicious somewhat healthy fast food.

We love these people at this Taco Time. They make our day. We love the food. The food is superior quality always. We go there every Tuesday at noon and can count on excellent service. They know we will be there on Tuesdays and wonder where we are when we miss a day. As for the food, it is always the very highest quality and the freshest ingredients. Thank you for having such a wonderful place for us to go each Tuesday. Did I say we love this restaurant? YES!

Stopped by the Longview store with my son. It was closed so we came to this one. I was a bit wary from some of the reviews but our experience was great. Super clean, greeted warmly. Order taken right away. They had our food ready while I was still putting my card back in my wallet. The food was hot and exactly like it was 40+ years ago when My dad took me. Love the hot sauce and love that it not that cheap packet garbage like most others. For the arrogant reviews by folks from the SW, its fast food, not an authentic Mexican restaurant. It is what it says it is and is good at it. Get over yourselves.

Fast clean yummy. This is a good spot for eatz and using the bathroom. Taco time is better quality fast food. Yes, there isn’t a $ 1 menu but I am convinced you can not buy real food for $ 1. I don’t know what that stuff is. My wife and I just got two meals for $ 13. Wut? Quick yummy and inexpensive; and the bathrooms are clean. This is a good pit stop.

Expensive and Bland.
Hands down some of the worst food I have had in a while. I tried the most popular item recommended by fellow Unilocalers and was very disappointed. So I tried the nachos thinking, what could go wrong with nachos. I couldn’t tell if my meat was beef or beans or a blend of them together. I don’t mind the fast food, processed meat but this didn’t even compare to the flavors of Jack in the Box or Taco Bell — which is pretty sad.
Also when I was clearly not happy with my food and ordering multiple things afterward, not once did an employee inquire if they could help or see what was wrong.
Even the tots were disappointing.

Going to be harsh because I am from taco country… New Mexico. First time I ever tried it and was not very happy. Paid 3.49 for nachos that seemed skimpy and had melted shredded cheese rather than a melted queso. Ordered a taco and the beef was not really even seasoned like Taco Bell or Del Taco. My mom ordered a taco and the taco sauce in the lobby was like tabasco. My mom asked if they had any other sauce then charged her .40 cents for a tiny cup of pico or salsa. Most places in NM serve that for free with their tacos. If you are visiting the Northern West coast and you are from the Southwest, spare yourself! At least the place was clean.

I don’t think I’ve ever walked into a fast food restaurant and thought «I really like this art» or «I like all the tile work in the bathroom», until today. The food was standard for Taco Time but restaurant was immaculate. It must have been recently remodeled. The staff was quick and friendly, and when not helping customers they were cleaning. Ignore the bad reviews and check these folks out for quick, roadside cuisine.

The Tuesday 2 for one crisp bean burritos are hard to beat. They now also have Baja fish tacos and burritos!

I’m not really sure how to rate this one. We stopped here a couple weeks ago and I ordered the Taco Burger. My husband did too. He was fine but It didn’t sit well with me as I didn’t feel good the rest of the day. So, when my husband wanted to stop again yesterday I decided to order my lunch from Taco Bell down the road. This time my husband got sick right afterwards. We won’t be returning!

Decently clean bathrooms, fast service, hot fresh mexi-​fries.
That’s all you really need to know. It’s a Taco Time!

Purchased some food here for an early dinner, thru the Drive thru. Wanted to dine in at this restaurant but since we are crunch with time, we decide to get our food to go. Both Hubs and I opt for 2 Taco, 1 BBQ Beef, and 2 Quesadilla. I cant recall what kind of Taco we had. Hubs and I like what we had. The portions are huge for my taste bud. We dont mind returning to this restaurant when needed the next time we are in Kelso, WA.
Was trying to find this location thru their website but I cant seems to find them oh well. Coz I believe what we order does not reflect on the main website in their menu section.
