    Soft Taco
    Rachael D.

    We love stopping by Taco Amigo for a Soft Taco Combo! Their soft taco is pretty simple (flour tortilla, ground beef, lettuce, and cheese) but when you pair it with their house made hot sauce, the combo is a great one! Their fries are perfectly cooked (to order, always nice and HOT) with plenty of salt and their fry sauce is yummy! Try the strawberry shake - so good!

    I've heard Taco Amigo has great shakes- and wasn't disappointed! We got the Oreo shake. Great value for your money, and the food wasn't bad! The drive-thru line was long when we rolled up, so we opted for eating on the patio since we had our dog. However, I was surprised at how quick the line moved!

    Big Amigo burger and fries
    Kurt J.

    This place is a great place for a shake. Especially the seasonal peach shake- DEFINITELY worth a stop. Typically I get soft tacos or a burrito but today I decided to try the big amigo, burger combo. Good deal for the price. The fries are similar but better than McDonald's. Burger was cooked perfectly, with right amount of Fixin's -- good burger. Good not great. But, I love that this place has a family photo on the wall. I'm giving an extra star for being family run and consistently great shakes. I like to support family room businesses. It's been a North Orem go to place for a lot of years - I finally did a review. Great place.

    I honestly wish I had something amazing to say about Taco Amigo but I just don't haha. I ordered the enchilada today but on previous occasions, I have ordered burgers and fries and have never been super impressed. I think their fries are much better than McDonald's fries but the burgers are honestly worse. I'm a sauce girl through and through, too, so the fact that they only have fry sauce, taco sauce, and ketchup is heartbreaking for me (although their fry sauce is definitely on my list of favs). The service is also just OK. I tried to ask the cashier what some of the menu items had in them, and he had no idea. I would expect that my cashier knows the menu well enough to tell me whether something comes on a corn or flour tortilla, but maybe he was new. Ultimately, I'm not dying to come back nor would I ever suggest it to a group of friends for lunchtime or any other get-togethers but I wouldn't say no to it if my friends were all going and wanted me to come along.

    Regular Fresh strawberry shake

    This review is for the SHAKES! My husband and I have lived in Utah County for over 6 years now and we have been crazy about shakes ever since. We've searched high and low for the best shakes in the county and Taco Amigo has landed as our #1 shake spot! It took us so long to try this place because we could never trust a restaurant with tacos and burgers on the same menu. Finally, in a desperate effort to find Utah County's greatest shake, we stopped in to give this place a try. We were so surprised, and so pleased to find the best shake in Utah County here! Best of Utah Valley awards has finally announced what we already knew. These guys know how to make a shake! With a great vanilla or chocolate base, you can add a variety of mixins to create your perfect ice cream heaven. Our recommendation though? The seasonal fresh shakes! We dream about the fresh strawberry shake all year long and the fresh peach shake in the fall is the best peach shake we've tried anywhere. Delicious vanilla ice cream packed with fresh fruit just hits differently. I'm going to be honest, the food here kinda sucks. We knew it would. No fast food place that claims great tacos and burgers can actually be right. The food here is pretty on par with McDonald's. But THE SHAKES! That's where it's at.

    You want burgers and tacos? Taco Amigo is your place! I wasn't feeling a burger, so I got the chicken burrito with a side of fries. The fries are shoestring fries and they have a pretty good fry sauce to go along with them. The burrito was pretty small, especially for the price, so that was disappointing. But the flavor was pretty good--would be pretty hard to mess up chicken, cheese, and hot sauce. My sister got the chicken enchilada. It also was pretty good, but was very small. I probably would've given this place a 3 star review because it was nothing special, but what brought it to a 4 star for me was the fresh strawberry shake. WOW. I'm not usually a strawberry shake type of girl, but this one was soooooo good. A bit on the expensive side though.

    Fresh Strawberry Shake
    Courtney K.

    This place is nothing special. The food is honestly not great. I am fine with low quality Mexican fast food, but if it's going to not be that great then it needs to be a looooootttt cheaper. 2 stars for food. The one redeeming quality of this place are the fresh fruit shakes. They manage to earn back a star for those. I got the strawberry shake and thought it was great! I will most likely be back to go for one of those fresh peach shakes. And then I start thinking about how my shake cost the same as my chicken enchilada..? Hmmm something just not quite adding up. I will be back to try a peach shake and that's all.

The atmosphere and menu feel true to the culture, and it's refreshing to find a place that doesn't overly Americanize the cuisine. Many of the dishes capture that homemade, authentic quality that fans of traditional Mexican food will appreciate. That said, the experience wasn't perfect. The wait time was quite long, even when the restaurant didn't appear extremely busy, which made the visit feel a bit drawn out. Additionally, while the food was flavorful and authentic, some of the dishes came out a bit on the dry side. Another consideration is the price. While the quality and authenticity are good, the prices are noticeably high compared to other Mexican restaurants offering similar dishes. Overall, Maria Bonita is a solid choice if you're looking for authentic Mexican cuisine and don't mind paying a premium. With a few improvements to service speed and food moisture/texture, it could easily be a five-star experience.

The service was fast and attentive, the food came out quick, and then portions were large. I typically get combination plates when I go to Mexican food places so I can try a couple different things and I LOVED the beef tamale that was in my combination. The restaurant is smaller so it did get quite loud, but that's to be expected. The chips and salsa were yummy and we left with quite a bit of leftovers. I would go again and make sure to reserve ahead a time or do take out :)

My waiter only barely spoke English but we could figure it out. The chips & salsa they set down was a mixed result. The chips were terrific. The salsa was a small kind of watery bowl that tasted much more sour than usual. It was okay. Just not as good as the chips. I ordered the Taconazo after ascertaining that it was a variant on carne asada. I asked if it came with tortillas. Si. It came pretty fast and he pointed to a station to one side of the dining area and said, "Salsas!" Sadly the salsa cups were tiny. I could barely fit any pickled onions inside. There were also some big jugs of various agua frescas there, nestled in ice. The "Taconazo" consisted of LOTS of onions, peppers, cheese, crispy bacon(!), cactus, and strips of steak. I liked it quite a bit. There was a bit of trouble at the end. My food was 15.99 but my bill was $21. So I asked for a itemized bill (tips weren't included). Turned out they'd charged me $2.99 for a fountain drink, but I'd only had water. I showed them the error. Rather than change the bill, they just handed me $3 in bills so that worked. (Yes I tipped.) Anyway good food with only minor glitches, and I'll be trying it again.
