Does anyone have one of these near them? I dont know if it is a chain or just a local restaurant but one just opened up near where I work and I was thinking about trying it. So if anyone has one near them is it any good?

Taco John's is the same as a Taco Bell - the same kind of chain. They are all over the place..... IMO, I like Taco Bell's taco's better

It's a chain. I think their taco salad is better than Taco Bell's. Besides, they have churros!

I actually like Taco John's more than Taco Bell...more greasy and crappy, generally...yummy! You must order their Super Burrito with a side of potato ole's!!! I can make a meal of potato ole's alone!

If you like fast-food style Mexican, I'm sure you'll like Taco John's.

I wish we had one. I looove taco bell! Unfortantley the one by our house is the worst I have ever been in. We have had bad meat, slimy lettuce a couple times, last time the chips were so salty they were inedible (probably not their fault though, the second bag they opened was normal). And they make the food so sloppy or don't heat properly. The one down by campus is great. I swear their food looks like it came off of their commercial :p .

No problem Kenz!! I will probably spend 1/2 my lunch break trying to find where it is. I keep seeing signs saying Taco Johns now open. Not where though!!

Movin' on up!
I'm a Mexican food snob. Growing up and living in Southern AZ, I wouldn't eat at Taco Bell or Taco John's, if they PAID me.

Once you've eaten at Minidito, La Parrilla Suiza or Casa Molina, "Mexican" fast food just doesn't cut it.

the reason why I like Taco Bell better is because Taco John's has their tacos all soggy here with the beef inside it.
I only like Taco John's cream cheese flautas.
and I love Taco Bell because they have the best tacos and they also have Mountain Dew Baja Blast that you can only get at Taco Bell.
