Taco Bueno — Restaurant in Grapevine

Lunch with family

My son and I stopped for lunch. I hadn't been to this location before. It was 1:30ish after the lunch rush. It was clean, although it still needed to be restocked. I ordered the Nacho salad with an extra order of Queso, and my son ordered a #1.

I seriously think the salad could have been served in a smaller container to make it more visually appealing. It was spread out too thin making it appear to lack enough ingredients. I added things from the condiments bar, but it still looked thin. I ended up getting a to go container. Not because it was too much, but I lost my appetite while looking at it.

My son ate all of his meal, and some of the chips and queso. He enjoyed it very much. Maybe I'll try what he got next time. I regretfully found myself wishing I'd gotten the same as he on this visit. I won't be ordering another Nacho salad, but there is plenty to choose from on the...

The next time I gave this place a chance, I went through the drive through, and when I removed the lid to my drink, I found a piece of grass. EW! I'm probably never coming back to this location after that...

I arrived about 7:45 PM and quickly placed my order. It took about 10 minutes for them to prepare my order. Just before I received my food what appeared to be the manager proclaimed loudly to everyone in the dining room, "I want y'all to know that the dining room is closing in 8 minutes." Some people left without placing their order others seemed to eat quickly. I ate reasonably quickly without giving myself indigestion. The food was decent, I would give it a 4, counter service was ok, again a 4. The 1 rating is for the obnoxious manager. I'm never eating at Taco...
