Taco Time

Five star food, experience and location. The location is clean and although older very well cared for. There is a small outdoor seating area on the grass under trees which is also a nice surprise. Although it is in a busy strip mall, the location feels like it has personality and is a welcoming environment. The crisp burrito is fantastic and full of flavor. A great Taco Time location.

Great people, great food. We come here often.

Ugh, I love this place. I probably come here at least 2 times a week, horrible habit of mine. But anyway! Quick and perfect service, staff is always friendly and very consistent. LOVE IT.

This Taco Time is always clean, the employees are courteous, and the service is quick. The food is good. I usually order the veggie Fit Hit bowl or the taco salad.

Well headed out of town so i wanted to get one last taco time fix. i was disappointed that they now only have the large taco salads. My wife went ahead and got one and it was too much for her but i went for the beef soft taco meal. Loved the soft taco but the mexi-​fries were dead on arrival. i should have sent them back but after having a cold one i decided i should just skip them.

I eat vegan now, so of course my first mistake was even stopping for fast food, but it did. Taco Time in Redmond offers a soft veggie taco. That’s what I ordered. Drove home. Opened the wrap & took a bite. No veggies inside! Oh well, perhaps they use veggie burgers chopped up. I took another bite. This was no veggie burger taco. It was beef! Even when I wasn’t eating vegan, I would have ordered fish or maybe chicken… never beef! Disgusting!
It’s a good 20 minute drive back to Taco Time, so I wasn’t going to drive back there, but I’m really bothered. What a waste of $ 5…in the garbage. Never again,

Always consistent! Very clean and love the coke machine. My favorite is the crisp burrito with guacamole and their SW salad is fresh and delicious too. Love our Redmond restaurant. Their drive through is amazingly fast and accurate too! Great staff and highly recommend!

I have got to stop coming to Taco time. Last experience I had at a different location sucked and this one was not great.
I went thought the drive thru. The guy taking my order was not exactly friendly. He for whatever reason could not hear my order. When I pulled around the girl that was giving my drink etc barely spoke to me. My food was just barely warm. I expect a little more for the money I paid and for it being lunch time.

This is the most fun I have ever had getting fast food!
I am not a fast food eater and have never been to a Taco Time but I saw the good reviews and while moving I needed a fast place to stop and get us all dinner. I am so glad Reggie at Redmond Self Storage recommended this place! I am blown away by the food — but the service was a blast! The woman (manager?) with the spiky blonde hair and glasses was very helpful explaining the «fresh» food Taco Time prides itself on. She also explained each dish and told me what the most popular were for my task at hand — which was critical because that is a large menu! She has a terrific sense of humor and by the time I pulled up to the drive thru we were all laughing. She even walked over and said «Hi» in person and we shared some upbeat conversation while my food was collected. She was right on all accounts! And OMG THE TATER TOTS WERE PERFECT!!!
The drive thru is the longest I have ever used, and with the tight turns it felt kinda like a roller coaster. Vroom Vroom!
The only thing I regret is not using the soda machine — but since I will be going back I can easily make that correction!
The food is not Taco Bell cheap but much less than a «real» restaurant and I fed everyone with leftover tater tots (I planned for that ;) for $ 40. Totally worth it! A steal!
Thank you for making a dismal move more enjoyable!
UPDATE: I noticed that every review here gets a reply… way to go! This attention to customers is probably why the place rocks so hard!

I really like the Taco Time Franchise and this restraunt is no exception. They seem better equipped with a staff that understands some people have allergies and they actually got my order right today. I enjoy the food which is fresh I am considering going back to try a new soup that is on the menu.
I really appreciate that all the disposable containers are now compost able in a commercial facility. This is exciting for anyone interested in reducing waste or the environment in general. Good going.
a little more expensive than your average fast food but still pretty reasonable.
pretty quick
improved order accuracy
decent ambience
ample parking no bicycle parking.

Not quite a four but more than a three so I gave this location a four because I love Taco Time.
However, I do not like people very much and I wish Taco Time would be more selective on who they hire. I’ve been coming to this location since 2013 (since I work in Redmond) and I’m sick and tired of that tall, blonde lady with glasses. She has squinty eyes that really pisses me off and she is so condescending. I’m really not sure what her deal is but I dread going into this location when she is there. Her nails are also very dirty. Maybe she is a gardener. I don’t know.
The floor is very slippery. So be very, very careful when walking in after a good ol’ PNW rain. You WILL slip and fall if you aren’t careful. Also, the bathrooms are NASTY.
Some of the customers are extremely obnoxious. There is a group of people that seem to be always in there around noon and they play some stupid board game towards the back of the restaurant. They’re really annoying.
The food here is very good and it seems like the employees care about making good food. So that’s a plus.

5 stars for a fast food restaurant? I know. I know… maybe it’s the sentimental value this fast food chain holds in my heart, memories of growing up, the fact that I haven’t been in seven years but crave crisp beef burritos when I live in an area surrounded by top notch Mexican food. Probably all of the above.
Like I said, I haven’t been to a Taco Time in seven years, so I’m not sure how many remodels they have done or when this location last updated, but it was pretty nice inside. The menu has been extended and there are a ton of choices, and they have those touch screen soda machines with over a million options. Even though it’s been the greater part of a decade, my trusty old favorites were still the same. Crisp beef burrito, crisp bean burrito, soft beef burrito, mexi fries, crustos… I’m officially salivating while writing this. Thank you Taco Time for always being consistent.
My last visit was during lunch time before heading to the airport and it was pretty busy inside. There was plenty of seating and the dining room was super clean. The parking situation has always been a little of a challenge during busy hours but it’s easy to park in the strip mall parking lot and just walk over.
I know when I return to the Seattle area next, this will be my first stop right off the plane. It always is. Thanks again TT for the memories.

OH MY GOD!!! Disgusting! YUCK!!!
Thats all I have to say.
In front of this place, Taco Bell looks a 1000 times better.

I do love the crisp burritos and their salsa. They have a nice menu with a little bit of everything. There are healthy options and the deep fried options. They have the sweet potato tots as a special, which are delicious. The soda machine is a pick your soda and your flavor addition, which is a lot of fun.
This location is in a horrible center and parking was atrocious on a Saturday. Also, the bathroom was cramped.

went in yesterday and ordered what I always do. Here’s the deal… In fast food the only thing your really have to do is listen what the customer wants and deliver it. That did not happen.

Service — 4.5 star
Food quality — 4 star
Food quantity — 4 star
Interior seating — 4.5 star
SODA MACHINE — 5 star 5 star 5 star 5 star 5 star — its SO COOL!!!
I was mostly very fascinated and impressed by its soda machine! So cool! IT IS TOUCH SCREEN!!! So you put your cup in the center, you select pepsi/​coke/​7-​up/​etc and then once you select something like coke, it shows up more variety of flavors of coke you can choose from! SO COOOOOOOOOL =)
Oh, I also ordered the churro and it was VERY different from the churro I had in Madrid. The one I had in Madrid was served with a cup of chocolate where you dip your churro into the chocolate. For the churro here, it comes with sugar stuff on it already — still, very tasty!

I absolutely adore Taco Time. Living on the east coast for 4 years nearly drove me crazy due to the separation. However, I’m back and we are right where we left off.
This location is where I came growing up. While they no longer offer Easter baskets with goodie-​filled eggs, they do have a super cool Ferrari Coke machine that lets you have flavored soda.

I have to admit, I get a craving for Taco Time every now and again. Their bean burritos hit the spot and a nice beef soft taco, hold the tomatoes always has the ranch imitation for sour cream running down my chin. In a good way of course.
The past few times I’ve been to the Redmond Way Taco Time, the mexi fries have been given to me at around room temperature. Not exactly how I envisioned eating those long awaited deep fried morsels dipped in hot sauce.
Taco Time, Eat Fresh. What about Taco Time, Eat Fresh and Hot Little Morsels of Mexi Fries?
If Taco Time was required to always deliver on their mexi fries, always having them HOT HOT HOT, do you think they would get a better review and overall satisfaction from customers who have a craving for some Tacoy goodness? I think so.
Mexi fries, tater tots or deep fried crunchy potato bits. Whatever you like to call them, let’s just get ‘em HOT!

OK, I’ll admit it: I LIKE TACO TIME AND I DON’T CARE WHO KNOWS. Here are a few things to keep in mind about Taco Time:
1) Service is prompt
2) Food is inexpensive
3) It’s pretty good. I know I’m supposed to not like it, but hey, it’s not bad.
4) It’s *not* Mexican food but I don’t think it’s supposed to be. It’s Taco Time which is its own genre; nowhere in the name does it say «Mexican». If you want good Mexican food try Taqueria el Rinconcito up the road.
5) Again, this is not Mexican and neither is Taco Bell (yuk).
6) See # 4
7) They have a kickass soda machine that makes all kinds of colored fizzy drinks and no one will say anything to you even if you already poured say eight strange concoctions for yourself. Don’t ask me how I know. If you haven’t seen this drink machine, you should check it out.
8) If you come here expecting a fine dining experience, you probably didn’t know you were going to Taco Time.

Dear Unilocal,
I ate at Taco Time today. The soft taco was okay, sorta too beany. The tots were pretty good, but tots aren’t hard. I could’ve drank the soda forever, though.
In other news — the cashier made me feel bad about myself for ordering a side of ranch because there was ranch already inside of my soft taco. Hey, I like to dip my tots in the ranch, terribly depressed cashier lady. I would like to act cool, give only 2 stars, and say that I won’t be returning — but that’s a lie. I’ll be back before 2012, Taco Time.
Also, get a goddamn salsa bar.
Forever yours,
Clarissa
