Taco Time

If there was a zero star option I’d use it. Worst so called Mexican food I’ve ever had. I mean, they don’t know the difference between a taco and a burrito. I ordered a taco and got a huge burrito size tortilla filled with about an ounce of some kind of meat filling. So disappointed.

I’ve eaten at many Taco Times and I have to say while it might not be the prettiest around the food and the staff are hands down better then any of the others I’ve visited.

I got the chicken crisp burrito meal, which made me feel like I got 27 purple nirples. But hold on a minute there, playa.
When I pulled into the lot, I accidentally went the wrong way in the drive thru because there was no «do not enter sign» and arrows painted that pointed to go in there. Thank goodness this place apparently gets no business so there was no cars in the drive thru as I drove through it backwards. So strike one.
Then I get in the place and the guy at the counter is looking at me like I’m a queer that doesn’t know how to drive so I was like «WTF’s your problem, Leroy? Gimme a crips ass burrito, stat.»
It did come quickly. But my oh my, was it underwhelming. I guess this is why I only go to Taco Time once every 10 years.
Also what the hell was the deal with the bathroom signs? No Men’s or women’s signs. Just signs for old timey oil shops, neither of which implied that they were for male or female, so I ended up walking into a woman taking a huge dump, sitting on the toilet backwards saying «I’m the Lone Ranger, you’re not required on this ride, Squanto.»
What a weird f***ing experience.

The customer service is fantastic! Without fail, I’ve always received smiles from the drive thru employees. I don’t have to tell them that I want sauce or ketchup because they always ask. I like that, though this is coming from a girl that keeps ketchup packets in her backpack, and I don’t even like ketchup THAT much. Not to mention, they always give me enough napkins even if I make a mess or not! And to top it off, I always get a warm farewell, «Have a nice day…» In comparison to McDs, Carls, or even Jack’s (which I love), I must say that Taco Time has the best service by far!
Don’t judge. However, in terms of cleanliness, I’ve never stepped foot inside and I don’t intend to, that’s what drive thrus are for! Now, the food is another story. They do not have culinary school trained chefs back there or fancy commercials, but it’s good and fast! The food is less oily and messy as other fast food places. So, I’m good with it. Yummy, I love Taco Time!
Something about this place is silly. It’s classified as Mexican food. While you can label something as one thing, it’s actual existence might not be that at all. For example, the Mexi-​fries? –they’re tatter tots. How silly.

I like to stop here just for a quick crispy burrito and/​or just a simple snack. It’s not as clean as most other locations, but it’s in a rough and busy part of Springfield. If you like Taco Time you won’t have an issue with this place.
I like this location because its easy to get in and out of with out having to fight traffic.

Oh god.
Dirtiest fast food restaurant on the planet?
This lobby honestly looked like the pissed off ghost of Keith Moon went on a bender and instead of throwing furniture out a hotel window thew 3 dozen crisp meat burritos around the already filthy interior of a Lane County Taco Time.
The staff was visibly high and operating in what I can only now believe to be «Taco Time». I never fathomed waiting longer than 5 mins for a crisp bean was possible, yet the dude behind the counter made fast food cook look like the most challenging job since astrophysicist.
Avoid this Taco Time like a Big Mac Snack Wrap.
