    Tacos are great, love the pretty native plants and "Green Space" although the taxable revenue of this place is $300,000 less than the stores built in the 1920s 2 blocks down

    Avoid! No communication skills. The cook seemed to be overwhelmed with no support system. I felt sorry for her. The girl at the front counter however was a rude nasty pig. She should be fired on the spot. No apologies for our order taking 37 minutes. Something started a fire so the whole place got smoked out. And no one ever offered us any sauces. I asked how much longer we had to wait and the girl at the counter said I don't know, ask my manager and walked away. If you don't like your job then quit!

    Great Taco John's they always get my vegetarian substitutions right, and it's right on the way through brainerd. Only thing and this apples to all Taco John's is don't get the $1 quesadilla. Not worth 1 cent

    Went to get a shrimp taco because of the advertisements on TV and when we got there, they said they do not sell shrimp tacos. ????? My bean burrito was good.

  • 5/5 Al W. 10 months ago on Google
    The staff is usually very friendly, most of the time they even bring your order to you.

  • 5/5 Debra R. 10 months ago on Google
    We love eating here or bringing home food from here. Wish my stomach could handle the beef but the chicken is always delicious. They have such good food and always nice staff. Never disappointed

  • 4/5 Linda T. 9 months ago on Google
    Had the shrimp tacos. They were breaded. I wasn't expecting breaded shrimp in a taco. The mango topping was good. No chips offered with meals but tator tots with the tacos. Cheese sauce costs additional. I dined in and atmosphere OK. No blasting TV during dining experience and I was thankful for that. Food better than taco bell.

    Wasn't impressed this time. Everything was much smaller than last time I went there

  • 4/5 Annika A. 1 year ago on Google
    Food is always good, service can be better sometimes.

  • 4/5 Sunshine and Beaches T. 1 year ago on Google
    We frequent the Taco Tuesday special for the affordability and quick and easy supper - I can't make tacos and burritos that cheap at home! My kids always look forward to hitting up Taco Tuesday!

  • 5/5 Amy C. 1 year ago on Google
    Always delicious breakfast burritos 😋😋 Very friendly service and hot fresh food made when you ordered..no heat lamps ❤️

    There's a guy in the drive thru who complimented me twice once on my tattoos and once on my style give that man a raise or recognize him please, I didn't get a name but he has long ish blond hair and looks like hes maybe 18-20

  • 1/5 Shilo K. 1 year ago on Google
    The sign said they were open, but they had a car blocking the drive through and the doors were locked. This was at noon on a Friday.

  • 2/5 Marti B. 1 year ago on Google
    Not the Taco John's I grew up on and loved. The beef nachos were nasty. My mother who loves Taco John's couldn't even eat her food.

  • 5/5 Heidi G. 2 years ago on Google
    It's hard to find taco John's restaurants, in my opinion! My first time at this location. Really friendly employees, very attentive, clean store. I ate inside with my husband, and here were two other customers there.

  • 5/5 Shannon A. 1 year ago on Google
    These guys had to work a holiday weekend, and we had a group of 11. They did not fuss, and did a great job. Thank you for making our stop so yummy.

  • 4/5 Larry Wood I. 1 year ago on Google
    Love the potato ole's. Glad they finally opened the inside seating again. Drive through is a little tricky with big truck and if you have a trailer. Menu prices are normal

  • 5/5 John T. 1 year ago on Google
    This place is like a combination of del taco and taco bell from the early 90s. They use fresh and real ingredients and i would definitely recommend for a quick bite to eat

  • 5/5 Andy P. 1 year ago on Google
    Staff was extremely friendly. Came in to a nice greeting, food was hot and given to us in a timely fashion. Will be back for sure.

  • 5/5 Chris H. 1 year ago on Google
    I wish there were more of these around, better than Taco Bell IMO. It used to be opposite...Taco Bell had the real meat and John's had the slop. For years now, it's the other way. The meat is a little bland if you could work a little on the formula but that's not a store problem.

  • 5/5 Suz E. 1 year ago on Google
    Always great service at every Taco Johns I go to. Food is always good. As fast food goes, they have the best prices in comparison to what you would pay elsewhere for the same food.

  • 3/5 Aaron 1 year ago on Google
    Food was served quick which was nice but got one of the orders wrong. Sad we had to waste food

  • 4/5 Keith E. 2 years ago on Google
    Their soft tacos are so good that they hold up to 3 days in your fridge and are still good to eat

  • 1/5 Elijah R. 2 years ago on Google
    Worst burrito I’ve had in my life, just stay away from fast food. My friend Madeline loves you guys but I think she is on drugs.

  • 5/5 Brenda S. 1 year ago on Google
    Food was good. A bit slow but not bad.

  • 5/5 Joe P. 2 years ago on Google
    Service was fast, friendly, courteous and decently priced for what and the amount I received. It was a complete meal and still took some home! Sorry, I didn't take a photo!

  • 5/5 Ron H. 1 year ago on Google
    Provided for the Chamber Orchestra from Tasmania ( their first taste of Fast Mex) they loved it ...and had enough gas to get home !!! ⛽

  • 5/5 Nicole T. 2 years ago on Google
    Always have great service here. I feel for the staff in the last few months it's been tough, they limited hours and closed inside but they also are always so friendly and never mess up.

👍👍 Ever since my first visit I have loved Burritos California. As a world traveler, this small family-owned restaurant felt like stepping into a different country- which I love. The staff are wonderful and the food is amazing. It's set up similar to chipotle with better food (in my opinion). If I could...
