Taco Bueno — Restaurant in Tyler

I had to knock off some stars for the atmosphere after yesterday 's encounter. After having worked all day and the weather being horrible, I decided to just pick up dinner for the family. I thought. Great! I'll just use their drive-thru, simple and easy. While it was simple and easy, the fact that they do not have a cover over the speaker box meant that I got soaked trying to put my order through. And once I got to the drive-thru window again there's no cover so I was getting soaked again. How hard is it to put a cover over your speaker box and drive through window to keep your customers and your workers a little bit drier? The restaurant was clean when we arrived. There was one couple ordering ahead of us. It didn't take long for the cashier to take their order and get them done. When it was time to order the cashier was friendly and answered all of our questions quickly.

Ordered one a whole lot of platter and one number seven. Both meals were really good. The food seemed fresh and it was tasty. They have a salsa bar that you can help yourself to in that area and was also kept clean. This is definitely not a salsa bar that I'm used to, all you had to choose from was two red sauces, one mild and spicy.

Price wise it was fine. Great value for the amount of food you get compared to other fast food restaurants in the area.

Really the only negative is the location since it's on the busy Loop. 323 and there is tons of traffic. Depending on which direction you're driving, you might have to make a U-turn and drive a bit back to...

Good fast food.

Its a mexicanish fast food type food. But ITS NOT TEXMEX or Mexican food! Again this is fast food - similar to the other "mexicanish style" fast food restaurants like taco villa or taco bell. Dont misundstand me though the food is good. Its just not true texmex. You have to go to a mom and pop local restaurant to get TRUE TexMex or Mexican. Sorry for the rant but I was raised up on true TexMex and real Mexican foods so I'm very picky when it comes to calling this stuff Mexican food or even TexMex and YES even those are two different types of cooking.

So now done with my OC rant. Now to Taco Bueno = Clean facility, freindly staff, fast, and reasonably priced. Its ok food to stop by if you cant wait for real TexMex.

With this the tacos, burritos etc are all made with the same exact ingredients. Its just wrapped up in a different types of pseudo tortilla. So the burrito taste the same as a taco just with a different wrapping texture.

BUT ITS NOT TEXMEX OR MEXICAN FOOD so please people stop calling this stuff Mexican or TexMex food! 😊

With the real stuff a taco will not resemble a burrito in any way in either taste or texture. The ingredients are fresh and not mass cooked and frozen overnight to be served the next day. Each type of plate the textures, colors, tastes, etc. Are all different fron one plate to the next.

Again I rant, sorry. Im just so picky when it comes to my favorite type of food.

But the place is a good place to stop when you short on time and hungry for a snack to get you by until you can get the...

Once upon a crisp and moonlit eve, in the quaint town of Tyler, Texas, I ventured upon a sanctuary of gustatory delight known as Taco Bueno. The aroma of seasoned meats and the tantalizing dance of spices bewitched my senses as I crossed the threshold into a realm where the mundane melted away.

In this haven of flavors, the tacos bore witness to a culinary symphony that echoed through the chambers of my palate. Each bite, a poetic stanza of savory prose, unfolded with the grace of an Edgar Allan Poe tale, leaving my taste buds enraptured in a spectral waltz of gastronomic delight.

The staff, like phantoms of hospitality, moved with spectral grace, attending to my desires with an otherworldly charm. Amidst the shadows of the dining hall, the warmth of their service flickered like the comforting glow of a literary hearth, casting away any chill that dared to linger.

Oh, Taco Bueno of Tyler, thou art a beacon of culinary excellence in the vast expanse of Texan night. In the echoes of chattering patrons and the ethereal sizzle of grilling meats, I found solace and satisfaction, a narrative of indulgence inscribed in the annals of my gastronomic memories. Thy offerings, a poetic testament to the artistry of the culinary macabre, have left an indelible mark upon my soul.

In the heart of Tyler, where the pines whisper tales of ages past, Taco Bueno stands as a spectral testament to the marriage of Tex-Mex mastery and Poe-esque allure. Nevermore shall I hunger for a more hauntingly...
