Taco John's — Restaurant in Topeka

The food is great when I get the craving for it. The Potato Oles give me more starch and salt than I aim for most of the time, but are a guilty occasional pleasure. The burritos are filling and tacos tasty.

Make sure and check any order to be sure you've got everything before you head out. While I've had an occasional mixing item, they're always quick to fix the issue. Just make sure you catch it. No need to raise a big fuss, as the crew has always been nice and willing to correct the mistakes made, but their order filling system has had me missing something more than once, so be aware.

It's in a gas station. If you're ordering inside, you're filling your drink there. There is a little shared seating that's decent, but not always the cleanest. I've always picked stuff up to eat elsewhere, and the station is not awful. It just loses atmosphere points.

I've not tried the drive through, but...

The absolute only thing I miss about over the road trucking... access to a Taco Johns every few days. Now my trucking just takes me back and forth between Oklahoma and Texas. So when an opportunity to get to Lincoln, Ne this week... I jumped... soley for the purpose of Taco John's. I mean it... I mapped the route from hotel to TJ's before hotel to the office. But then in my research... I found TJ's in Topeka along the way. I had the great pleasure of enjoying my first Super Potatoes Ole' in YEARS!!! Later that evening I enjoyed the Chicken Strip Taco I got free for downloading the App. Heck yeah... 3 days later I stopped again on the way home. Super Potatoes Ole' is probably one of my favorite menu items...

5/30 ordered 2 simple $1.00 cheese quesadillas. Dry hard tortillas with virtually no cheese. Looks nothing like the pic on the menu. The owners must need a tax write off, I can’t believe this place is going to succeed.

Update: visited again on 5/9. Had good experience, simple bean burrito. First 1/2 was delish, no sauce, cheese or onions on second 1/2. Cook needs to slow down a little.

Bean burritos & taco meat in tacos not hot. Mgr was kind enough to remake food the next day, still not hot after asking to make sure items would be hot. Let mgr know again, he said he gave away $2500 in re-made food last month. Hopefully, things will improve or sadly this Taco Johns will disappear like...
