Love love love this fast food Mexican restaurant!! This place is clean food is fresh and fantastic! Forgot Toco Hell !! This is the best of the best ! read more

Poor service and you are given smaller containers for queso regularly. Ordered a 16 oz queso yesterday. Weighed at home at 10.5 oz.

The food was okay. The service was lack luster. The employees need retraining on customer service skill set. The employee seemed more concerned about trivial ghettos conversations versus giving great customer service. I honestly don't know how they're still open. read more

I very rarely get to come home to Louisiana and was feeling nostalgic. But nothing was super about my super nachos. I feel like for $8 I could get a little more toppings read more

Taco Bandido - Super Nacho - Mexican Near Me - Monroe, Louisiana

Team leaders should treat all customers the same, that's all I'm going to say.. I usually get my food through the drive thru, today i decided to come in, only to be treated with inequality.. it's fine, i'm not going to say I'm use to it, I just hate everything has to be a race issue. read more

Terrible service, rude, and a mess everywhere at 9:00 pm. This place was a great place to eat at one time before change of ownership!

A local dive that I've been eating at most my life. Yes, the drive thru isn't the greatest, but they all can't be Chick-Fil-La! LOVE their Bandido Salad, 6 Layer Dip, the New White Queso Super Burrito and some of the best sweet tea in town! There isn't much on the menu that isn't good. Im not a Margarita fan, but they are known for their frozen margaritas called the "Grownup Green Icee". It's a Monroe must have for folks returning home for visits. It is definitely on my favorite's list. read more

Takes forever but the chicken Quesadilla is Bussin. Not a big menu selection, but that's okay. What they have is good.

I wouldn't say it's the best, the chicken in the Quesadilla was a bit dry and I had mostly cheese. Service was friendly and the place was clean, it was a one time thing I wouldn't go again :) read more

It's local. It's familiar. It was my first experience with Mexican food not made at home. Love the tacos, burritos and nachos. We always make it a point to eat here when we get to West Monroe for a visit. read more

WHAT IN THE WORLD WAS I THINKING TRYING THIS PLACE?!? I was driving around Monroe, to try a random spot out.. Then I spotted Taco Bandido.. they had a long line... good sign right?? WRONG! The long line was because of the very, very slow service, in a drive thru.. I sat at the drive thru for about 45 minutes.. I was very upset, as you can imagine. When we finally got home, we ate the food.. the food is not at all good, we could not even finish it.. read more

The food was bland and disappointing. I ordered a nacho with everything on it and tacos. I couldn't even finish my meal. I don't really care for taco Bell, but I would rather purchase food from taco Bell than here read more

Fantastic food. I ordered a couple of Taco Supremes and some queso on Waitr and got $5 off using code Local5!

Taco Bandido- You know bandidos is a derivative of bandit, which is essentially an outlaw. The name says it all. People either love or hate Taco Bandido. They are the fast food stepchild in the Monroe taco scene. If your trying to picture Taco Bandido, picture a place that lots of college kids go to eat mediocre food and get even less satisfying service. It is not fast, by any means, and this is not the kind of place that they kill you with kindness or even make you feel welcome. Its mostly clean if you don't count the smeared food on the tables. BUT! It has a comforting vibe to it. You know just what you will get here and it is consistent. The food is the type that you can't understand why you keep eating it. Don't go in here expecting gourmet or Taco Bell. Just try it for the experience. Its fun, edgy, and it will be something to remember. Besides "Taco Bandido" is just fun to say, and you can be one of the people "in the know" in the Monroe cuisine circles. read more

I'll never tire of this place. Everytime I'm home, I eat here. It's comfort food. I have my own little both overlooking Forsythe Avenue. In high school, my boyfriend and I would snuggle up in the both and make goo goo eyes at each other. My current fiance loves this place too, and we frequently talk about how we wish there were a location where we live now. Get yourself a margarita in a Go-Cup. It's the Louisiana thing to do. It might be in one of those frozen drink daiquiri spinning thingies, but it tastes like heaven. Taco Bell, Taco Cabana, Taco Bueno, you're nothing in comparison. read more

This place gets two stars, only because there's a drive thru and it's a step above Taco Bell. Nothing special, mediocre psuedo Mexican food. I'm not sure what I'd recommend because every thing I've had there has just been "meh". The queso is pretty alright. Quesadilla was not good, taco salad was not impressive. Again, this place is good if you feel like grabbing something on the go or want to get dinner in the comfort of your pajamas. read more

I ate from Taco Bandido on Forsythe Ave in Monroe LA on 6/23/20 and it wasn't 5 minutes after I finished eating that I became sick as a dog. I went from vomiting to diarrhea in an instance. I had the Bandido salad without sor cream or beans, so I could only guess it was the meat. Won't eat there again.......ever!!!!@ read more

Service was the best thing about this place and it's only one star. It was our first time here and the woman behind the counter explained things to my husband, so I had high hopes. We tried a few different things: bean burrito, soft taco, zesty cheese enchilada, and beef nachos. The soft taco was more cheese than beef and all at one end. I couldn't even swallow the bean burrito. The nachos taste like a bag of tortilla chips from the store and the cheese is boring. There is no flavor on anything. We will not be back. Taco bandido more like taco disappointment. read more

It looks like your average mexican restaurant and taco joint. I actually believe that Taco Bell is a better alternative to this place. The place looks pretty cheap. Okay, so that's not the center of your dining experience, but the food is. The pictures seemed to exaggerate a little and the beef was worse than Taco Bell's, and the nachos didn't not have a decent nacho cheese, it was very bland. The service tend to be a little put off and act like you're interrupting their day. read more

My go to place when funds are low. Great food for the price - the Bandito Salad can not be beaten. They won't let you take the green icees home anymore - that is the only negative. It can get a little crowded at lunchtime. read more

This is fast food. In a rush and hungry, I stopped in for a crispy taco April 2018 and it was full of meat, fresh veg, crispy taco. Employees were very nice to me. Speed was fine. For the price, I choose it over Taco Bell. read more

The service is complete shit and it's not like this was a "one time" thing. Everytime I go there the customer service is horrible. I am officially boycotting this craphole. The food wasn't that great either. read more

The food is terrific and it's a good alternative to Taco Bell. Some of the staff behind the counter have real ATTITUDES. I swore I'd never go back but the food is so good I only stayed away a couple of months. Oh and the 32oz margarita will knock you down. read more

Taco burgers are amazingggggg! I miss them so much! It's a great alternative to Taco Bell, I agree!

The food here is good, cheap, and fast! However, they have the worst customer service in town by far. This is why i refuse to go back. It's not just one time either, is every time! During the day is not bad, but during the evening is horrid! If your white, don't even bother. I literally sat in line while the workers ignored me and took orders around me for ten minutes. I was the only Caucasian in the store at time. Another time, they messed up my wife's order and told me it was our fault, because she didn't speak loudly enough. The West Monroe location is awesome, but farther to go to. read more

The worst drive up service I have ever had! 2 weeks ago I placed my order, the voice machine wasn't working, so I drove to the window. I could not understand a word of what the drive up employee was saying. She really didn't care what my order was. Same thing again tonight, the employee really couldn't speak English enough to understand what was going on. I don't understand why an establishment who probably makes their living from the drive-up service would have an employee who really can't talk and really doesn't care to talk or take care of their customers at their money making window! Shame on your establishment! read more

Hands down the best tacos and burritos in town. Better burritos and tacos than any other restaurant or fast food joint. I agree with other reviewers in that the staff is sometimes kinda snippy. read more

Been coming here my whole life. Good hangover food....but I don't think these people could be any ruder. Always short, always angry....that I'm here to order a taco? How can the owner continue to allow perpetually rude behavior? read more

Welcome to Hood Tacos of America! Nothing special, probably white owners the food was purley MEH at best.

Taco bandito is one of my must visit places when I'm in Monroe! Great crunchy tacos and they are known for their margaritas!

I will not walk Into an establishment and beg them to greet me, smile, take my order or my money! Especially when my husband and I were the only ones there! I will not give my money to anyone that is openly rude! Monday July 3rd , 9:pm west Monroe location read more

I would not eat at this restaurant again. I went through the drive thru and ordered over 50 dollars worth of food and as I pulled out of the drive thru my wife looked to see if al of the food was in the bag. As usual 3 items were not in the bag. I went inside and told them that I was short some items and the rude young lady that was working the drive thru window stated I need to bring the bag in. I told her no and to just give me the items they shorted me. I asked for the manager and the manager asked about the items that were missing and the rude young lady said that she did not put the items in the bag. One of the items that was missing was a bag of chips for the Guacamole and the rude young lady emptied out about half of the bag and I asked her why. She stated you only get half a bag of chips with the Guacamole and I told her I paid 4 dollars for a small container of Guacamole and a half bag of chips. She stated that is just the way it is. They always short you on the food and the whole African American crew is very rude. I would not eat here again and will tell I know in the West Monroe area about the rude service and hope no one else will go there. Robert read more

Love this place!!! Great Taco Salad. I gave a 4 star due to charging for ice water!

I love taco bandito I've been eating here for a long time and still never tire. I haven't eaten taco bell in forever just cause they could never compare. By far my favorite fast food place read more

Really good taco's, but don't forget to add the tomato's. My cousin loves this place.

Good non-chain Mexican drive-through with margaritas!

This place is horrible to me. I have experienced that they have recently had rats (mice) inside of the resturant. I have seen them patching up holes to trap them inside. So i believe there are dead rats inside of the walls. The place is disqusting with roaches. I have also seen a dead roach inside a customer food. The customer returned it to them and walked out. This resturant needs rebuilding. The service seems to have bad days at times but they are friendly. This place doesnt need a rating it below the scale. It is dirty, the food is bad, and looks very cheap. read more

Very good stuff but only if your unfortunate enough to find yourself in this piece of shit town. Basic rule, if you MUST be in Monroe try Taco Bandido. If you can be somewhere else then by all means do yourself the favor and not come to Monroe. read more

The food is very good.......however, the service is the worst!!!!! I have sworn I would never step foot back in this place. If I have to have food from there it will be through the drive thru. The service will be the reason they close down this place. Sad but true. The last 5 years this place has really gone down. read more
