Taco Time

Bought lunch here on my way home. I got the chicken soft taco. It was bigger than I expected and couldn’t finish it all! I thought it was very good and will probably order it again. It did however have a slight taste of onions even though they were none in it (I checked). I did end up spending more than I wanted to, but I’ll probably go back again soon.

A typical chain Taco Time but are the prices higher here than other local Taco Times? It sure seems like it. Service through drive thru is usually pretty quick. Workers are always friendly.
Food is great — so much better than Taco Bell. Fresh and delicious!

Let me start with how much I love Taco Time. I moved away from the NW for the last 6 years and Taco Time was not available where I lived. Moved back to the NW, saw Taco Time, and went in for lunch. It took 12 minutes to order our food, the prices were higher, the menu is different (not better), and it took an additional 16 minutes to get my food. The bag was sitting on the counter for a few minutes before I realized that it was likely my bag of food to go. I asked the employee if this was my order number 27, he said… I guess it is. I take the food home and it was not good. The temperature was way below what it should have been (cheese not melted on enchilada) I live one mile away. I am very sad to say that I do not recommend this particular Taco Time location due to the lack of service, expediency, temperature and price (value).

Nice tile floors.
Hardworking friendly staff.
Natural food.
Locally grown.
JUST EAT REAL FOOD!!!

For a place called taco time, their burritos are way better, especially the crispy burrito. The tacos were a little limp, specifically the Baja tacos.

Good place to get Mexican style fast food. The crispy burritos are a must. They have tater tots instead of fries which is a plus! The food is greasy (in a good way). The restaurant could use a lot of updating for it looks old. Inside and out

Sublimely mediocre Americanized tacos. On the up side side of guacamole is only $.45 don’t forget to order a side of chips if you would like to eat your guacamole with something. If you have a second option for lunch, choose it.

If all you care about is getting the health minders recommended nutrients this might be the place for you, if you want good tasting food it certainly is not. This company has been headed South for at least 6 years, and now I am done.
The Good: Pickled Jalapeño was available at the condiment counter, which I have not seen before. Years ago they had three good salsa’s, but I guess we will never see that again, one salsa only… the J’s help a bit.
The Bad: Everything else. I made the mistake of ordering 5 meal because I did not see that it was their healthy wrap soft taco rather than the normal soft taco that I have always gotten. The wrap was disgusting as you might expect. The sour cream or what ever they use was super runny so it was a mess and had no flavor. The meat content has gone down yet again, replaced with lettuce. The chips were over cooked and had no flavor. The tater tots were over cooked and had no flavor. The side of beans was without the amount of water they should have so they were over salted by a lot… I assume that they put no fat in the beans and so they have to use salt to give them some flavor, so when they get to dried up in the steamtable they get over salted fast. I am not certain but I think the freestyle machine was out of adjustment, the soda did not taste right at all.
I was in for 40 minutes on a thursday between 6 – 7 and while there was some drive up I only saw 2 other people in the restaurant the whole time. Given how bad the food quality has gotten that makes sense. This place has been over priced for a long time but it used to be decent food. No more, you pay a lot for bad tasting food. The food was fast and there was a lot of employees around, but if it is not good who cares. I hear their commercials about having fresh food and being good community citizens, but again, if the product does not taste good I dont care.
Avoid.

I have always enjoyed Taco Time so when I realized that I lived relatively close to a Taco Time, I was jazzed. I was greeted by an employee that was positive and happy. For all you fast food restaurants out there this is called setting a standard. After I ordered my meal I was given my drink cup, somehow this has become a rare feat now-​a-​days as most places bring you an empty cup when your food is ready. This is an awful idea as it actually elongates the perception of your wait. As long as you have an activity you will not being counting the seconds until your food is ready. Needless to say the food was served hot and delicious. My only minor complaint is that I had to tell them that they were both out of napkins and salsa.

For a fast food place this place is great! It’s very clean and the people are so friendly! When I’m in the area I will stop here because I know I’ll get great service!

Although Taco Time is a bit pricey the food is yummy. This store is always bright and cheerful and I always have a good time when I go there.

Burrito was not good, rice was really hard seemed like uncooked (usually Mexican rice is fluffy), bean was just normal. Wouldn’t recommend the food but people were nice.
One burrito combo with additional bean cost a bit more than $ 8.

i love taco time. i always use the drive thru and it dies take a while but its worth it. sweet potato mexi fries are yummy! and crisp bean burritos are my guilty pleasure. mmm. wish they were open later!

Where to begin…
I have never had Taco Time before and after this tasteless experience, I will never be having Taco Time again.
I ordered a Veggie Burrito and while it was a very large burrito similar to the size of burritos one might see at Chipotle or Qdoba, the burrito was very bland and mostly tasteless. It consisted of refried beans and spanish rice (a staple it seems in this ethnic cuisine), shredded cheese (which seemed industrial grade and unmelted), a hint of salsa, and a large handful of salad mix (you know the kind one buys at the grocery store with the shredded carrots and red cabbage/​radicchio). The burrito was barely warm and the salad mix really added a bitter taste to the entire burrito. I wanted to get some churros, and thought the burrito would be so big that it would fill me up. I only got a quarter of the way into the burrito and threw the rest away because I was disgusted. Too bad I didn’t get the churros.
The «Mexi-​fries» which are basically tater tots were also cold and seemingly soaked in grease which probably means they had been sitting out for a while.
The restaurant dining area was empty, similar to the parking lot. It looked like from the drive-​thru window that there was only 2 – 3 people working in the restaurant.
Overall, I will not be partaking of the vittles from Taco Time ever again. I don’t see how one can mess up spanish/​mexican/​ethnic food, but I guess that may due to the fact that Taco Time is a fast food restaurant.

1.5
gross gross gross.
The beef in my crispy taco was definitely too salty and definitely not filled with good flavor, and really it’s just odd to have a taco with a slice of tomato in it (as opposed to having it chopped up like salsa)
and I’m pretty sure the guy over charged us, but was too lazy to go talk to the guy over a few dollars. It only gets 1.5 stars because it was clean and the staff was friendly (even if I do think they ripped me off)
