Taco John’s

Most disappointing food of my life. Messed up my order and everything was cold, not nearly enough meat but they loaded everything with lettuce so i spent $ 15 on lettuce

My dine-​in lunch order was ready in about five minutes. I liked that you could order lunch items during breakfast hours. The portion sizes were generous, and the prices were reasonable, but the beef in the taco seemed mushy and flavorless. The salsa bar sure beats the packets available at that other place. An e-​club, and daily specials are available. Not bad.

Not quite as bad as Taco Bell, but this is not an acceptable taco.

I like to stop here for breakfast on Wednesdays for their burrito special ($ 2.49). The drive thru wait is usually 5 minutes or so. The breakfast burritos are great!
As for lunch and dinner the speed of service has gotten better. Average wait I would say is 5 – 10 minutes. The food quality is still the best as far as fast food tacos go. Potato oles are the best side is fast food period!

Let’s be honest… Its a fast food taco place. But something about this place is way better than «that other joint». Love the stuffed grilled taco… take a crunchy taco filled with beef, cheese and sour cream, then wrap it in a flour shell with a nacho cheese sauce and grill it! Mmmmm. They have a «salsa bar» where you can pick from 4 – 5 sauces. Its not fancy but I really do like the mild… oh and its way better from the bar vs getting the packet in the drive thru… they are not the same!

A welcome change of pace from taco bell. It’s simple really, the potatoe oles are to die for.

I just made it here recently, it tasted just like Taco John’s. I have a history with this chain, as my late husband made it his major food group during his life in Lawrence KS. Crispy corn tortilla beef tacos with «super hot sauce», a hot green sauce. The super hot is why you should go to Taco John’s. My usual meal is a couple of regular tacos (fried corn shell, taco meat, lettuce), with super-​hot sauce, potato oles (a sort of seasoned tater tot round,) and a Pepsi. It’s a pretty good fast food meal.
I have a soft spot for this chain, but in my biased opinion it’s pretty decent for fast food. Not healthy or anything like that :) Try the super hot sauce! It helps!

Taco paradise: soft shell, sour cream, extra hot salsa, potato olé’s with cup o cheese. Don’t mess with a good thing.

Yup this is a Tex-​Mex Fast food joint and it’s got a decent taco. There’s also burritos, nachos, chili, breakfast burritos and salads too. I’m a fan of the taco bravo that’s a sort of double decker taco with a hard shell inside a soft shell. I’m sure it’s not healthy but when I’m in the mood for it, it’s tasty.
I also like their potato oles dipped in sauce. They are like mini hash browns with seasoning. If you want something sweet try a churro. It’s sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar. But be sure to keep it out of reach of your dog. I turned my back on night and mine disappeared, not happy.

I drove clear across town to get me some Taco Johns. We get there at 930 and the only lights on were the ones inside the building… so we almost drove by it.
So we thought we would sit at the drive through and after waiting for about 5 min, someone finally came up to take our order.
Went to the window the pay, the guy says hold on… and left us there. took our payment and didn’t say thank you or anything.
After waiting forever finally got our food. Got home and order was missing items. So I did call them and they did agree to send me a coupon to remburse me for what was missing.
***It’s been roughly 2 weeks later and we still have yet to see any kind of coupon in the mail… so not only did the service bite the dust, they have yet to keep their word. So I guess I’ll just have to wait till I visit St. Joe, MO before I ever get Taco John’s again.
If there was an option for zero stars I would have choosen that instead.

Oh boy. Taco John’s food is great for your taste buds, but probably not the best for your body… and I’m quite okay with it.
The menu is standard Mexican fast food with tacos, burritos, nachos and a few other dishes that are reasonably priced with other fast food restaurants. It’s a side dish, but I was hooked by the potato oles, a small bowl of tator tots with Mexican flavor salted on them with a side of queso cheese to dip them in. Trust me, they’re just as good as they sound.
The location is just off of I-​35 and 151^st Street near the Garmin headquarters. If you’re in the area and need a quick bite to eat, this is a great place to be.

I’ll need cholesterol medication soon if I eat here again. There was so much salt on everything, it was unbearable.
The tacos were boring, the potato oles were greasy and over seasoned.
It’s just not a good restaurant. What else can I say but meh?

The few times I’ve eaten at Taco John’s it has been just ok. The last time I was there they were running 20 minute ticket times… you can watch the time for each order on the screens in the kitchen.
20 minutes for two combo burritos is outrageous at a place like this. Perhaps the management needs to be replaced.
I don’t usually do reviews based on something like this, but, again, this was unbelievable.

My favorite place to get Fast Food Taco’s. The Potato Olé’s are always one of the best items on the menu

I drove 30 minutes to get to the nearest Taco John’s. I hadn’t been since I was a kid and all of a sudden I want a churro.
Upon entering, I was greeted by two kids who were eager to help me… and waited patiently while I gawked at the menu.
They take your name and let you go have a seat and then bring your food out to you. High class.
I got the number six, I think. It was a grilled taco. It had shredded cheese and nacho cheese in a hard shell taco, then a tortilla wrapped around that. It was quite good. The oles came with the meal and I had one just because they were there… yum! They have french fry powdered salt on them that make them irresistible. I tried the sweet tea, was weak on tea and strong on sugar. Bleck.
The churro was just as I remember it… totally worth the drive. They even asked if I wanted it with the meal or after, so it would be hot.

I kept hearing people talk about how excited they were that this place was opening in Olathe. I tried it and I don’t understand why people like the food It lacks flavor and is very greasy. Someone actually said they would not go the first week that they opened since the grease would not have built up the flavor needed to make the food good. Yuck!

Potato Oles, people. That’s all I gots to say.
