    Three crispy tacos and chips and queso
    Nick S.

    Typical fast-food Tex-Mex restaurant. Taco Bueno is probably a notch above Taco Bell and a notch below Taco Casa and Taco Cabana -- when it comes to fast-food Taco places. The meat is generally not greasy, although sometimes it has a slight sweet flavor to it. Sometimes the texture makes me wonder if it doesn't have texturized soy protein mixed in. Quality is inconsistent from restaurant to restaurant, although this location in Nacogdoches location tends to be better and cleaner. The FBT (freakin big taco) is good value for the price -- its a large taco filled with meat, lettuce, cheese, tomato and sour cream. The burritos tend to be a bit on the bready side. I love the black beans though.

    Counter, menu, salsa bar tables.

    I am shocked how much I like this place. It is just a fast food taco place but it occupies a sweet spot just above Taco Bell and just under Taco Cabana. The food is generally the same price range as Taco Bell and a bit better quality. You may run into specials or small value coupons lowering the price. Bonus is a limited salsa bar and various types of the excellent Cholula hot sauce. This location has fast, very friendly, service and is clean and usually quiet if you need to study or work. If this served margaritas and beer and fancy coffee it would be perfect. Highly recommended for fast casual Mexican food. Try the chicken quesadillas.

    It was good!

    Stingy. Don't go to this place if you are hungry, or enjoy taco shells that aren't half filled with anything; including lettuce.

    Ordered the big freakin burrito. Never again. There was 3/4 tortilla with only 1/4 of filling. What a waste of money, I will never return.

    Really good tacos and great service. Recommend coming here if your craving tacos but was something better than taco bell.

An…read moreemployee suffered a serious fall that appeared to result in a dislocated knee, requiring emergency medical assistance. She was in obvious and severe pain as paramedics responded. During this time, the manager on duty repeatedly attempted to pressure the injured employee into signing a form, even going so far as to present it to her while she was in distress and later while she was on the gurney. Despite paramedics instructing the manager to stop, these attempts continued. This behavior was highly inappropriate, lacked compassion, and raised serious ethical concerns. The manager's actions demonstrated a troubling disregard for the well-being of the employee during a medical emergency. No individual in such a condition should be asked to complete paperwork under pressure. If a member of my own family were treated in this manner, I would seriously consider escalating the matter to the appropriate regulatory agencies and seeking legal counsel. I urge your organization to review this incident thoroughly and take appropriate action to ensure that employees are treated with care, dignity, and respect--especially in emergency situations.

We will certainly be back as we are always hopefully that today was an anomaly.

Makes you feel like you're in a Texas country town for sure! My daughter and I were in Nacogdoches for college visit to SFA and we looked this place up in the hopes that we would find something different than a normal chain stop. It certainly is different and was exactly what you might imagine. Everything on the menu is decently priced and it seems that Tuesday is the place to be with short stack specials for $2 along with the weekday breakfast special at $6.95 On of my daughter's favorite meals is chicken fried steak and what better place to try that than a local diner??? Unfortunately it fell below expectations. The portions were quite large, enough that we could have just split a plate. The idea of sausage gravy on top of the mashed potatos and steak sounds heavy but also potentially fantastic. However both the gravy and the fry were quite under seasoned. I was able to fix mine with some cholula sauce and some salt and pepper was a quick fix as well for my daughter. The side of green beans and carrots she got were actually pretty good so perhaps there was just a disconnect in flavor at the meat station this day. I did very much enjoy the side salad I chose instead of the veggie medley. Came with home-made ranch which brought me back to my East Texas family gatherings with the freshly shaken ranch.....it was great. The portion size was pretty fair value at $13. Like I said we could have just split it between us. Very hit or miss flavors leaves this at a 3-stars for me. But no doubt some of the nicest folks in town work here.
