Mari H.

Okay, so I am from Kalamazoo and grew up on Taco Bob's and have been to several locations (so each one is getting a review)! More times than I will admit. People were blown away when Taco Bell came out with the Double Decker years ago, PLEASE.... that has nothing on Taco Bob's Funny Taco. Hands down, the best! Every single time I come home to visit, it is 100% required I go here and most of the time it is more than once. It is what it is. I have Ben obsessed with it even now. Now that I do not live in Kalamazoo anymore, this is the location that gets the most visits out of me while home. It is the closest to my friend's house that I always crash at and dare I say where I have now ruined Ben from wanting any other Taco place, anywhere. He literally bugs me about going there each time he comes home with me, like I don't have plans to go.... a few times. Funny though, every time I go in there, I think of it being an old Subway location waayyyyy back in the day when I was a kid. If in the Kalamazoo area, make it part of the plan for a visit at one of the 6 locations.

There is not much signage but we swerved into the parking lot at the last second! There is a drive thru around the back of the building. Taco Deluxe - 6. I tasted more beans than meat. There was plenty of sour cream on it though. Bean and cheese burrito with sour cream and lettuce - 6. I tasted mostly tortilla but they were a little light on the beans. Cheesy Taco - 8 it's a burrito! Good amount of sour cream and cheese. Taco - 7. Tastes like a Taco Bell Taco! Chips - 6 chips were ok but I didn't care for the cheese sauce. I'm guessing it's nacho cheese sauce. My daughter loved the cheese sauce and licked the container clean. Lols. There were a few chips but nothing like you'd get at a taqueria Quick stop and inexpensive food. Next time I will find some sauce and drench my food in it.

Side of Tortilla Chips

I really love Taco Bob's; its a mix of nostalgia from post-school events and local fast food that won't make you feel filled with grease. The staff is very friendly and comprised of mainly younger kids (I remember a few friends back in high school used to work here). The inside has plenty of seating and the food is very fairly priced. Now the food: I ordered a #9 combo to go. One thing I appreciated was that the food was packaged in plastic Tupperware which kept my wet burrito nice and warm during my drive. The meal came with a burrito, a small bed of rice with refried beans, and some greens. In addition, I got a small side of chips (included) which were fresh and nicely salted. Each combo also comes with a drink! All this came out to be $8.89 plus tax which was a great deal. My burrito was fresh and nicely packed. The rice and beans were standard to most Chipotle/Qdoba type joints and the burrito was good too. I think the best part about this place was the sauce. The salsas they offer have a great variety and are quite generously given. They make the food shine the most. My biggest disappointment was the fact that the combo was a bit less food than I expected. For that reason, I'd definitely say this falls into the "places I'd grab lunch at" category. This isn't my favorite taco place, but it is fairly good, fast, and relatively cheap. I'd give them 3 stars based on the food, but I bumped it up to 4 because of their service. In summary: I mostly enjoyed that this fast-food Mexican restaurant, which is on par with Chipotle, is fresh and has great service and a drive-through window. It offers variety and food that if you're in a rush will have you feeling good while also being relatively healthy. It's the perfect grab-and-go lunch spot.

Chicken Wet Burrito
Paul Yelp N.

Had the chicken wet burrito with added diced jalapeños $8.34. No huge surprises with this place gringo style Mexican food. Flavors tend to weigh heavier on garlic, salt, and vinegar less on spices or fresh. i.e. jalapeños are canned and taste mostly of vinegar too. Pretty much what you would expect and is essentially a high school boy's dream of what local Mexican deliciousness means.

I think there's a recurring theme on the reviews of Taco Bob's that's worth noting: it's compared to Taco bell. I think this is fair. However, I have one major qualm, and it's this: I don't think the price increase from Taco Bell is equal to the quality increase. I'll elaborate. But first, I'll be fair. Here are the "step-ups" from a chain like Taco Bell: -Better meat -Smaller, more "handcrafted" menu -Slightly more veggie options -Better looking burritos. -Alcohol on the menu But now I must explain my largest complaint. I believe that if I'm going to pay 2 dollars more than I would at Taco Bell, for a smaller amount of food, I would like a noticeable step up in quality. I did not feel that there was such a step. I found my tacos were lukewarm, and that the veggies were not crisp. The cheese was low quality queso, akin to what you might find in any Taco Bell or Del Taco. Main point: Was it good? Absolutely. Would I make it a mainstay in my diet? Probably not. Worth checking out because you might feel differently.

Quesadilla meal
Brittany A.

Taco Bob's is one of our favorite lunch spots. They make each order fresh and to order and comes out pretty quickly. The Funny Tacos are a great standby and a great alternative to a regular fast food taco. I've been getting the quesadilla more recently which is a nice change and filled with plenty of meat. I definitely prefer the Center location, the staff is always super nice and it's a lot nicer inside than the outside may appear.

deluxe nachos

The pro's: Close to work Inexpensive Quick service Food is ok Hot sauce is great on tacos The con's: Very small, at lunch you may not find a place to sit Food taste like the ingredients are very cheap. Parking can be difficult as the lot is small and part of it is taken by drive-thru

I enjoy Taco Bob's. I love their version of the walking taco. They now have an inferno sauce that is hot!

I've been eating here since high school and always stop by to get a funny taco when I'm in town. I can't get enough.

Maybe best Mexican in Kalamazoo. Al pastor tacos are great - Birria eggrolls are incredible…read more Friendly staff.

I simply LOVE this place and have been eating there since before the current owners. Got to know…read morethe previous owners and family ( thus the name La Familia ) but there's a HUGE problem!! I just recently started eating birria tacos and I was OK with it ( tried it at several restaurants before trying it here. But EVERYPLACE else had " soup " for their consome ( am I misspelling it? ) Anyway when I asked the head host about how they make their soup it floored me because I was wondering how I got sick from eating it. But he told me they simply drained the grease from the ground beef and add onions and cilantro then serve it to customers for $2.50 a bowl!! Double whammy, I don't eat ground beef and I DEFINITELY don't eat grease!!!! So the fact that I ordered chicken birria and received a bowl of cooked cow grease it almost sent me to the ER! Not cool! So even though I still eat there I DON'T get their birria and just wanted to let everyone know what they are ACTUALLY being sold. An entire bowl of " Artery clogging GREASE, 'GROSS' " for a WHOPPING $2.50. For something that is supposed to be discarded but it's being sold to unsuspecting customers. I haven't had ANY other complaints about this restaurant and will continue to eat there. Great food and great staff. Just not so great selling bowls of " beef grease " for $2.50. So enjoy the rest just please steer clear of the expensive bowl of " liquid ughh "!! Please for all of your own health!! Have a blessed day!! The star rating is only for this ONE incident. The overall rating is a solid 3.75-4 and if they learn customer service I don't see why they can't reach a respectable rating of 5stars!! Enjoy your day!!

We were indecisive on what we wanted for a quick and inexpensive lunch. We decided on this place…read moreand found another restaurant we were eyeing right next to it, so we split and got something from both places. This place is a hidden gem. It was not very busy and we got our food almost as fast as you would at any fast food restaurant. I can't say it would be true if it were busy. The staff, one young lady was very friendly and very accommodating. She was great. You order at the counter and she brought out our food. Now to the food. It was delicious. I ended up getting the Grand Burrito (dry). There is a wet version too. It was BIG and heavy! It was filled with rice, beans, lettuce, sour cream, onions and some delicious grilled chicken. You can get the chicken cold, but not my thing. I couldn't finish it and I was hungry! Oh the chips were good too. No salsa but they were tasty by themselves. The place is clean and has plenty of seating for 2 to 8 people depending on how busy it is. There appears there might also be outdoor seating as well, would be nice if it wasn't winter. I would come again and maybe try the same again or try one of there many other delicious food. The price for my giant burrito was $12.

So surprised by their menu and protein options (always excited when I see Al pastor on the menu). They had a serve yourself salsa bar with 6 options, including pineapple pico! Food came quick and was tasty. Great spot for a quick lunch.

I recently learned this was a regular spot of my dad's, was there almost weekly…read more Got to try it for the first time. We had a large party and it was catered in. The corn tacos were okay, hard to eat with the shredded chicken. Chips and salsa are ok. Guacamole would have made it even better, as the shells broke after a bite and got soggy from the liquid. The chicken itself wasn't bad, not super flavorful. The queso was quite runny, purely liquid. Some onions or cilantro would have been nice condiment adds.

It's a fun casual and extremely colorful little restaurant. They can accommodate both small parties and large groups. Smells amazing the instant you walk in and are greeted by the super friendly staff! The menu is massive which is why I didn't take pictures of all of it, but it is available on their website. She and her son usually both go with chimichangas so who was I to question it? I chose the steak fajita chimichanga and oh my goodness it was some of the best Mexican food I've ever had in my life! We loved it so much that we ordered it to go again a couple days later! Whether you're dining in or taking it home, you cannot go wrong when you choose Pure Mex! If you're ever in the area make sure you stop in!
