Taco Bueno — Restaurant in Waco

Gave this location another shot yesterday. After all I've been eating the same thing here for over 20 years so you could say I typically enjoy bueno. I want everyone reading this to know a few things first issue is that there is evidently NO corporate office ,owner ,or real management over this location which is why Im having to resort to a Google review that will probably never be seen by anyone who can address the issues. You can not find a single phone number online for the "headquarters" that is actually in service. My experience yesterday was atrocious I spent 25 $ plus dollars for just myself to eat and my order was wrong AGAIN. The "manager" is racist as hell and unless your black you will be treated like a second class citizen here at this location. I told him that my order was wrong and he simply said "well that's what's on the ticket." I said well I understand that but that's not what I ordered and this is the second time I've got the wrong order the first time I didn't even say anything about it but today I wanted to bring it to your attention.He just kept saying that's what was on the ticket and walked back behind the kitchen bar singing "oh Jesus help me ".Evidently him and the people taking orders both need alittle help. So until Jesus comes to help they don't have to be bothered again with my business in this establishment. Fast food is WAY too expensive right now to not even get your order and also be treated like trash.- I watched him chat with his black friends that came in and got free beverages and he was polite to all of them. Every white person he was extremely short and even had an aggressive kind of demeanour with. Really don't like bringing up racism in 2023 but it's very much still an issue and it works BOTH ways. No excuse for this behavior at a restaurant ! This makes me so sad for this particular location that myself and so many others know from childhood here in Waco. Just absolutely...

Me and my grandson decided to eat here on the 24th. As we were eating our delicious meal we noticed that a storm rolled in and it was getting bad. My grandson told me that we should leave and I proceeded to tell him I'm not leaving without eating my meal. Also we wouldn't be able to beat the storm. Halfway through our meal, we could see it pouring down and the winds were very strong. My grandson was getting scared but I told him that I've survived 2 tornadoes and this storm couldn't compare to what I've experienced. All of a sudden we heard 2 loud booms and the rest is just a blur. I felt like I had blacked out. I woke up to being covered in what felt like a weighted blanket. Little to my surprise, the roof had actually caved in. My grandson was yelling and pulling me up from under the rubble. I could not believe it. The roof was ON TOP OF ME. It was madness. A few workers were helping and was able to pull me out of the rubble. Next thing I remember is looking down and I was actually still holding my taco. I then proceeded to get my bearings straight and I finished the taco. It was the best taco I ever eaten in my life. I'm not sure if it was actually the best taco or if it was the adrenaline running through my blood but it was a damn good taco. I then asked for a refill on my Dr. Pepper and we left. I would give the food and service a perfect 5 stars. This food is to die for..... literally. As for the atmosphere, I'd have to give it a 2 on count of the roof caving in and falling on me.

Would definitely recommend and will definitely be coming back once they fix the roof and reopen....

This Taco Bueno (the only location around this area) is making me sad frankly.- I've been eating from this establishment for about 30 year .(Since childhood). Its pretty much always been a decent fast food tex mex option. I know that over the years it's normal for prices and food and menu to change slightly. Especially in these times with the "fakeflation" going on ,oh I mean inflation going on.- However it's now costing us roughly 28$ for two adults and a toddler to eat this fast food tex mex.While the taste is still satisfying for tex mex,it seems the prices continue to go up and the serving sizes get smaller .Mucho nachos I've gotten for a straight 26 years .Never anything different.They have gotten so small lately and once again our last visit I've had to ask them to put meat on my nachos because you couldn't actually see ANY meat on them when I got them .They are getting so stingy with the beef. At these prices you should be able to see and taste meat on a menu item that contains meat .I really hope for better management and some changes at this establishment. Make it MORE BUENO again! The world of 2022 needs a 2004 BUENO...
