Didn’t let me order because I don’t have a car when I try to go to the lobby. The lobby was locked. The lobby was locked early. They’re not supposed to be locked till 10 and didn’t let me place the order. Dominick M

Four cheese quesadilla was basically a tortilla. I had to add cheese to it when I got home. Very over priced for what you get in the combo meals. Portion sizes are borderline ridiculous.

This location is the BEST in the STATE. Seriously the nicest crew, freshest food. Loved Taco John's for 30+ years and am glad to have found this superior store.

I know what happened to TJ's. Same thing that happened everywhere else, and that's corporate greed. Portions are smaller, prices higher or stay the same with lower quality ingredients. Remember when you could do 2 for $5 or $6 meat and potato burritos? Well I hope you wanted rice instead because that's what a majority of their filler is now. I don't know why the app even exists if I set a time for food to be ready and then also have to wait for the food inside. What the point? The "deals"? They're what we just used to pay 3 years ago. Even less than that, honestly. Asking multiple times what my order was, and possibly the loosest wrap on a burrito I'd ever seen. They're basically snack wraps. There are at least 5 food trucks within 5 miles of here that deserve your...

I was so happy to come here again. Our initial order was missing a few items, so we decided to call to see what could be done. Seeing that we had already been home by that point, Aaron was able to accommodate us over the phone. He understood how frustrating it could be when this happens, on both ends. Ultimately, the next time we were there, he made sure we were in good spirits before leaving. Upon his leave, I believe Tanya and Mina helped us just as much. If I have the names wrong, I apologize. Either way, the customer service was welcoming, the outcome was satisfactory, and this time all of the food was accounted for....

I enjoy Taco Johns weekly. But the one on SE 14th will lose my business. Ordered a chicken bowl that was under specs and tasted to me spoiled just after 2 bites something was wrong. Replaced it with 3 hard shell tacos and it got worse. Grease dripping out the sides and tasted nasty. The drink station was filthy and they had dinning room like a freezer. On top of all of that the personal issue conversation in the kitchen and counter was outrageous. Im not understanding why this particular store is so bad compared to the others.By the way it was 11:20 am when...
