I LOVED THE ONE ON 38TH. Cannot believe after nearly 50 years it closed. This one is so far away. Good food. Fresh. But with qdoba near I always end up there. Dumb move to put this right next to a teensy Mexican place Regulars will remember this is a good substitute for a taco bell. Salsa bar. Fresh food daily. Really good food. If it were only closer. If I'm driving all the way out there I'm going to opt for the qdoba "soup" 99% of the time. But you do gave good basic food. Just not in the same type. Though cheaper! read more

We used to go to this Taco Bueno all the time But for the last six months or so, it seems they are always getting our oder wrong, and the large, surly man working drive-thru always seems very unhappy and unwelcoming. O suspect he is the reason the orders are consistently wrong. This time we were charged for chips and queso that were not included in the order. We are done. You have lost a customer. read more

You sent my order via Instacart with zero protection! No tape, no stickers! That driver also took a pitstop 3 Miles from my house before delivering my food! I've been trying to call Ya'll but the number has been busy since I saw who the driver was and until now! Over an hour later! Still busy! read more

I am very disappointed in the unacceptable food I was given today at our Taco Bueno Restaurant. This is the only Taco Bruno in at least a 30 mile radius, and one would think it would have high standards in serving the food that is advertised, especially when they are competing with other taco establishments such as Taco Bell and Taco Mayo. We live 17 miles from the Taco Bueno and we go out of our way to eat there because we enjoy their food. But not today. If this was something minor, I would overlook it, but we were cheated out of a full meal. The tacos I received had a smidgen on taco meat and couldn't even fill the bottom of the taco and it was filled with lettuce and tomatoes, thinking it would hide the minimum scoop of taco meat I received on all of my tacos. If I put all of the taco meat from all six tacos, it would have only filled one taco decently. Unacceptable. Additionally, our bean burritos were practically empty! One third of the burrito had nothing in it; it was just a tortilla. Again, I took photos to send to show visual proof of this complaint. For us to pay almost $30 to feed my family of four and get these skimpy scoops of taco meat in my taco and a practically empty bean burrito that left my family still hungry is truly unacceptable and I am very disappointed and upset. We have been patrons of Taco Bueno for several years, choosing them over the other competitive taco establishments, but tonight's meal was truly disappointing to say the least. I know my almost $30 meal will not put a bucket in this corporation, but if you strive for customer satisfaction like you preach on your commercials nationwide, then the management of this particular store has a lot to learn to teach their staff quality food control. read more

All Taco Buenos in Lubbock are closed. They were here when we moved here in 2011 but not managed well. They left for about 5 years and came back with one location. It was mismanaged as well and did not last. read more

I personally like taco Bueno! I like their bun taco's..I'm from Cali and I miss del taco ..there and they make them..Just like del taco! Love it! They are always nice when we go in! The service has been good..and they are always clean..from what we have seen! read more

When they was on 38 th we ate there twice a week at least , since they moved to 82 nd its been the worst tb I've ever been in. The attitude the food, burritos with a smear of beens folded so thin they are like envelopes, not a party burrito but a regular one , went in to complain an a couple of chuckle heads was standing there that made the food grinning from ear to ear , I made the comment they were thin as an envelope and they laughed with glee an said , dats dem mail burritos will fit in yo mailslot ahaha ! I asked to see manager a guy said wasn't none here , he would fix it . Didn't go back for 6 months same exact thing , six months later I tried again still the same , tried to go online to complain to their corporate and it wouldn't let me leave a negative review??? Don't waste your time , I still eat at one in okc and it's great . But don't worry lawtons getting a taco casa next 6 months going in old ft federal credit union spot 63 rd and cache and hopefully they don't hire any of the awful staff that worked at this place ! read more

On our first visit, I was surprised at the bad reviews. Our experience was great. The staff was exceptional and super friendly and the food was fabulous. Fast forward 10 days and we took my mom shopping to get her out of the house and stopped in. The person at the counter did not greet us at all, and in fact, seemed very annoyed that we had walked in tbh. I don't care so much about that as I just assume they might be having a bad day. We all do, right? ‍ But he ended up being straight up rude. Alas, we were there for lunch, not his stellar company, so we got our food and went to a table. Everything was ok tasty except the chips which were stale and chewy, and the food was lukewarm. We ate and then left. Then about a week or so later, my nieces wanted to go to Spirit Halloween and then to Taco Bueno to eat. We were hesitant based on the previous visit, but went ahead with it as the first visit went so well. Omg it was the worst food I think we've ever gotten. It was about 35 minutes after they opened, so we figured it would be fresh and hot, we were the only customers, and there were maybe 9 staff behind the counter and cook area. Nothing could be further from the truth! The chips were worse than the second visit. They were not only stale and chewy, but tasted like they were days old. Everything was cold. EVERYTHING. I'm not exaggerating. They had been open for 40 minutes by the time we received our food, so it should've been fresh and hot - if one considers most restaurants bring staff in about an hour prior to opening for prep. The "guacamole" and refried beans had to have been from the day before as they were on our plate like a hard baseball. Who the heck would think it's ok to serve this? We threw our food away and left. The staff saw and didn't even bother asking if something were wrong, although it was obvious that there was. There's no way staff can be this incompetent unless they are purposely trying to sabotage a place. You can tell from the pics. We will not be back. read more

We went thru drive thru on 12-27-23 around 5:20 ish and the girl was incredibly rude. She asked if we needed a receipt and I said please and she got a worse attitude. I asked her at beginning if I could please get some pico for my two muchacos and when we got order-there wasn't any so we got her attention and was very nice and said we didn't get any pico-she never said a word and it was obvious she had a major attitude and came back with one but we didn't say anything and just left. Got home and this is what muchacos looked like! Almost 10.00 for the trash!!! I wish Management would review footage and see how this girl is representing their business!! As for me-I won't be going back!! read more

Below standard for tacos.... Would not like to go for scraps. Their portions were ridiculously sadd. Staff is customer friendly. read more

Taco Bueno - Carne Asada Tacos (2) - Mexican Near Me - Lawton, Oklahoma

Worst food every!! We were wondering why there were no other customers there, now we know!!! Wouldn't give one star but can't take post without it. read more

The food sucked and the explicit music was so loud we couldn't even have a simple conversation.

After a few years of avoiding this place I decided to give it another try, seems to be under better management with friendly staff, good food and clean environment. Bueno seems like it's getting back to the good food I used to like years ago read more

Never to go eat this place ever again why because you guys forgot to put the sauces in the bag only 1 sauce really really are you serious I can't even use it on a burrito just maybe a taco that's disrespect right there not right at all it was on Tuesday my dad bought food so very wrong I had to use Taco Bell sauce we had leftover but still we want to try y'all sauce to go with it anyways smh you guys are full of it never again sorry read more

I don't normally write yelp reviews but this place is horrible. There is no reason I should be waiting in the Drive Thru line for 20+ MINUTES for 3 items. Food wasn't even worth the wait either. read more

me and my friend came in today 8/4/24. at first the lady was nice and polite with us. when we got our cups to get our drinks they didn't have the lids for our size cups so i had to go up and ask for the lids. and the lady talked to me like I didn't know where the lids were at, until I told her they didn't have the lid size we needed until she finally got them for us. then they didn't even call our food order out they just sat it there. once we got in the car the we checked the food, the tortilla wasnt cooked, it was very easily damaged, rubbery, and it looked it was just thrown in there. very disappointing because I was just here two days ago and the street tacos were really good then. read more

If I could give zero stars I would! Waited 20+ minutes for 3 things and the staff wouldn't even update us. They just kept walking around acting as if they didn't have things to do! After waiting 10 minutes, the cook came up & said it's going to be another 6 minutes because they need to drop fresh taquitos! But 10 minutes later, still no food! Then the drive-thru cashier came to the window & said I need to pull up because it's going to be a little longer. Are you serious?? For 3 items?? I asked for the rest of my food since they advised me the taquitos were the only things we were waiting on. She just disappeared from the window. I waited for about 5 more minutes before driving around, getting out of my car, & going inside. Then they decided to all just stare at me when I walked in. They weren't even busy inside! They didn't even say a word to me or a greeting! I finally asked after standing there for 2 minutes. They finally gave it to me and let me tell you... -The party quesadilla was old & the cheese wasn't even melted! It was still shredded! -The taquitos were burnt & super bland. -The B.O.B. burrito was an absolute mess & wasn't even wrapped properly. Stuff was falling out everywhere & it was cold! DO NOT GO TO THIS TACO BUENO!!! TACO BUENO IS A NO GO!!! read more

I've been a taco bueno fan since I was a kid but the Lawton location has lost my business forever. The last three times I've had it the beans were god awful they tasted old and burned. The tortilla chips were stale and covered in oil. The queso is either so bland it taste like water or filled with so much pepper it will leave you coughing for an hour. My last visit the staff couldn't even be bothered to read no chili sauce on the order and covered everything in it. It's pretty sad I've never had a bad experience until they closed down the 38th street location since then the service and quality control has been absolutely horrendous. read more

Service was terrible and slow. They did not have beef fajita meat as advertised on their website. We asked for guacamole and were given queso. Their food is too salty and terrible. This was our first and last time to try them. The food went in the trash, it was too salty to eat read more

I didn't think there was such a thing as bad Mexican food. Taco Bueno proved this wrong. It wasn't just bad, it was horrible. I just "finished" two brisket tacos and I wish I could be positive and say one good thing about it but... First the taste is very unappealing. The guacamole tasted like soap and the brisket taco tasted like lighter fluid. At any other time I would be displeased by paltry portions, but I'm glad they didn't give me more of their very unpleasant food. The downsize is I paid $13 and some cents for garbage. I'm nursing a stomachache and nausea as I write this review. I think I'll go to the bathroom now! read more

Taco Bueno used to be my favorite fast food taco restaurant. Everything was always delicious and hot and fast! Since it has moved locations it has gone down hill. More than half the time I go there now, the wait is super long which would be fine if they would get my order correct! More than half the time my order is incorrect. I get charged for extras I didn't order or something is left out of my order or the meat is switched from beef to chicken! The tacos are sloppy at best and almost inedible at worst. The ground beef tacos drip so much grease.....it's just disgusting! Several times I've ordered potato burritos only to find no potato in them! The last chicken quesadilla I ordered wasn't even cut and I had to hunt for the chicken! My family and I have all but stopped coming here because of the terrible service! We keep thinking maybe it'll be better this time but so far it's stayed at terrible! It will be a long time before we ever give them our money again. read more

hands down! best thing ever. nathan you the bomb! my #1 reason to always come back! great customer skills. great communication! this man deserve a big pat on the back. more so, definitely a raise! read more

This establishment makes Taco Bell look like a gourmet restaurant. I had the nachos and they were extremely soggy. My husband got the street tacos and they came out cold. This is unacceptable, I will say the customer service was nice other than that I will ever eat here again. read more

Taco Bueno seems to be just Bueno! The staff was interesting, not really much in the line of customer service. They were although very fast when it came to taking care of guests. When I got to the window is where it went funny. I was handed an Unsweet tea, and then a tiny bag, I would have wondered if it was anything, so I asked. The girl then expressed "you would be surprised what I can fit in something like that." Awkward comments may enter your mind but I felt the bag, and honestly I was impressed but my taco was broke. 1 hard taco, a combo burrito, chips and two queso. OMG she fit a lot in a tiny bag. I said thank you to the person. She looked perplexed by this and replied... "For what?" I explained for my order, she looked at me funny and said "I don't need this", then the window slid closed. What the hell just happened??? I guess maybe some people just do not belong in fast food windows. read more

Salsa and Pico no longer available ... tacos had very little meat on them and they were cold ... cinna Chips not crispy and most had no cinnamon on them ... Mexi Dips & Chips had very few chips with them and what was there were thick & hard, guacamole bland ... this will be our LAST visit to a Taco Bueno ... food has gone downhill since the pandemic. read more

I was very disappointed with the food and cleanliness of the restaurant. First of all, before we even got our order, someone came in saying their order was wrong. They took his original bag and placed it on the counter. They then proceeded to not throw it away and instead give that food to other orders that had what was in the bag. That should have been my first red flag. When i actually got my food, the tacos weren't bad, but the beans were separated because of how much grease they put in them. I had to take my beans and drain the grease from them because of how greasy they were. Finally, when I had to go to the bathroom right before we left, the side of the toilet and even some of the seat had a brown stain on it. I would definitely not recommend eating here. You can go to any other fast food chain and get way better food than what was there. read more

I've never been to a Taco Bueno buy decided to stop here. The crunchy chicken tacos are to die for. Add some salsa and it's perfection. The drive-through cashiers are always super sweet and friendly. You won't regret stopping by. read more

My husband and I went to Taco Bueno this morning after church. The young man looked like he was mad that we came in and never greeted us or looked up at us. After being treated this way, we walked out. He finally spoke and said, "Are ya'll coming back?" We said, "No." Never been treated so rudely! Also, although there were no other customers inside or in the drive thru, the place looked dirty, with wadded up napkins on the floor. read more

This place is a rip off!!! Spent almost 8$ on a small drink and 3 tacos. The tacos were a JOKE! Tacos were so small i sould fit all 3 in the palm of one hand. Finished my meal a minute and a half. Well here i am...still hungry and 8$ broker. DO NOT GO HERE!!!!!! read more

ordered a quesadilla burger and they didn't even cut it into quarters!! Forgot to put chips and queso in bad as well.

We arrived and stood at the counter for ten minutes without being helped. Three employees were visible, ignored us and continued to go about with what they were doing. One employee was too busy eating at the food prep station, and dipping her chip into what appeared to be a serving container, and they others were "cleaning" and walking around. Our presence was oblivious to them; we even said hello. We ended up not being served and left, said goodbye, and they replied "have a nice day!" Seriously?! read more

Good food and nice facility! Except their customer service wasn't the best it could be. The employees were nice and polite, but they failed to prosses our simple order. read more

Make sure you check your food before you leave because they never make my food right . I always pay for sour cream but never get it .

I have never been so disappointed in this restaurant since we PCS'd to Ft Sill in 2009. I just left this 38th street location. I ordered what I order every time I come potato, egg and cheese burrito add bean and potato. I usually get about 10 of those because I have a big family. Normally the service is superb but today I was appalled. They were rude, short and there was a young man (who by the way, looked like he hadn't washed his face before coming to work because he had dried crusty stuff around his mouth) took my money and dang near threw my food in my car! He sound like he got upset when I asked how long it would take to make more eggs when he said he only had enough to make 2 of the 4 of the burritos I ordered. The experience was so bad that I didn't even eat the food because I was scared they may have done something to it so we just threw it in the dumpster by the entrance to the parking lot and went to Taco bell where we received amazing customer service! I'm guessing the dramatic decline in customer service, availability of food and food is due to the change in staff. The people that are usually there moved to the new location on 82nd street. There's better service over there it's just a little far. But I will not be spending my husband's hard earned money at this location ever again! And I will be sharing my horrible experience with all of my friends, military spouses and every social media I have access to read more
