He had a food trailer prior to this restaurant location. Food is the good Mex stuff here.

Food wasn't hot or fresh and service was awkward and slow…read more I was the only person in line at the drive thru, so I don't understand why my burrito was cold. The oles were lukewarm and rather soggy. The next issue isn't only about this location, but why can't Taco John's ever get a curbside order right? I've ordered them at least 4 or 5 times at various locations: They're always confused when I arrive, I'm told they don't do curbside orders OR they don't start the order until after I've waited a while and asked where my order was. I kinda get the idea of not starting your order until you arrive, but then why did it take 10 minutes for a burrito and oles, and the food wasn't hot, and why act all confused when I let them know I was there for my order? Very weird. Despite being on the cool side, the food wasn't completely terrible, so 2/5 stars.

I could have had just a bowl of those beans and been happy. I like a lighter chip, these were heavier, and I'd prefer more salt. The salsa was nothing special, but I did put some of it on my tacos. We got guacamole, and it was disappointing. It appeared as though they possibly ran short on avocados, something creamy had been added which showed up in the consistency and diluted the avocado taste, my guess is sour cream. So they lost a star because of the chips and salsa and the guacamole, your mileage may vary if those types appeal to you. Our service experience was great, we were seated quickly, waiter was on top of it, we got our drinks and our order taken quickly, and the food was there immediately. Both my meal and my wife's meal were very hot. It's a nice looking place, they have a big stone wall that is pretty impressive, I didn't study the decor, but my sense was that it was decorated nicely.

El Puerto used to be our go to spot for Mexican food. It was our only spot for Mexican food actually. After some poor experience and some really bad treatment from a manager we vowed never to go back. We ended up trying La Cocina due to El Puerto's rudeness and what a blessing it turned out to be. The food is at La Cocina is light years better and the service is fantastic. The guys at LaCocina go out of their way to give you a dining experience and the food is like heaven. read more

I love this place. I visit every time I'm in town. Their fajitas are marvelous and it is always a fun place for a birthday. Try the fried ice cream or sopapillas! Worth it! read more

My friends and I were really looking forward to an evening where we could catch up, visit, and…read moreenjoy a good meal together. We chose The Station on a Saturday night and weren't surprised when we were told there would be about a 30-minute wait. We told the hostess we were going to the bar to have a drink while we waited for our table. After waiting 45 minutes, we checked on our table only to be told that because they saw us sitting at the bar, they had given our table away. No one came to let us know it was ready, despite us asking them to. That was incredibly disappointing. Since we had already waited so long, we decided to stay and order food at the bar, hoping another table would open up. Unfortunately, we were never offered a table even though the restaurant was now less than half full. We were never seated at a table for our meal. The six bar stools were arranged in a straight line, and I ended up at one end of the bar. Between the distance and the loud noise level, I couldn't even carry on a conversation with four of my friends--the very reason we had gotten together. The service continued to disappoint. Our group of six ordered at the same time, yet four meals were served first. The last two of us, who had each ordered hamburgers, didn't receive our food until after the other four had completely finished eating. No explanation was offered, and no one attempted to make the situation right. To add to the frustration, two of us ordered the exact same drink, but they were served in noticeably different-sized glasses while we were both charged the same price. The food itself was good and offered some unique menu options, which is the reason I'm giving more than one star. However, the overall experience was frustrating. What should have been a fun evening catching up with friends turned into a series of disappointments. Good food can only make up for so much when the service and overall experience fall this short. Sadly, after this experience, I'm not sure I'll be returning defiantly not with more than three people.

Even stranger, it was room temperature. For food, I had the steak wrap with a side salad. The ranch dressing was tasty. The steak was dry and bland. Definitely need something to help it out. All in all, I was not impressed. I want to go back and try the pizza. I may have just ordered the wrong thing.
