we are thankful they are still here but hopeful that special something that made Bueno great will be back. The food was so much better.l than last time. The building is about 75% there too. Still needs a little attention and cleaning for my taste. Burrito had added sour cream and there wasn't much there and it was a tad bland but they go me some more chili sauce and that really helped. Super Friendly, just need more help maybe. read more

I Order a number seven combo. Was given the wrong burrito, no taco,. They Can't get simple orders correct.

Been here several times and the service is terrible. They're so slow and the food is always cold. After one time ordering beans here I will never do that again. If my kids didn't love the quesadillas I wouldn't have came back but today is the last time. read more

I think the food is very good but I will say the service is probably the worst I've ever experienced. It has honestly become a joke in my family because how it has never failed to have poor service in some way. But like I said the food is good and I hope they stay in business, just maybe there could be work on employee manners:) read more

Went through drive. Order two taco salad and two burritos.told me to pull up we were the only ones there. Told me to go around and park in parking lot.was taking to long so we went inside. Gave use the wrong order inside. So made over toco salad boxes had sauce all over them and look up at drinking station was filthy pop everywhere all over hasn't been cleaned in months look like and there food was very bad. We got up and threw it all in trash.don't eat there nasty .wish I took pictures of the drink station read more

So I decided to go inside during my visit this time since the drive thru was backed up and I needed to use the rest room. Upon parking I noticed 2 1 male 1 female) employees outside talking while one was smoking.. upon using the Restroom I noticed no paper towels. Toilet paper lined up on the safety rail for the toilet. That should have been my cue to leave but I didn't. The lady smoking cake inside and took my order without washing her hands. The man came inside and told everyone goodbye without a mask on by the food. Then they left with a young child that was playing at the empty table. 13 minutes later I had to ask for my food and was told I am working on that now. It was already bagged up sitting at the end of the counter getting cold. Thank you Shawnee Taco Bueno for a bad experience read more

Taco Bueno - a public restroom with a toilet and sink - Mexican Near Me - Shawnee, Oklahoma

Do yourself a favor and DON'T go eat here!!! The worst we've ever had EVER!!! Drive thru employee female was not friendly, acted put out that we bothered her to order anything. We should've just backed up and left but there won't be a next time. The food was disgusting, very sloppily made, tasted horrible and the hot sauce tasted like ketchup. I know it's hard to find good help these days but if the management is as bad as their drive thru employee, they will probably be shut down soon. read more

If I could give this place zero stars I would. I don't ever get my hopes up for fast food places but this one was especially horrendous. Everything tasted weird and there was a weird liquid spilled all over the inside of our bag that most definitely did not come from our food. It took forever to get it too, just all-around a no go from me. read more

Good service nice people and good food and good customer service and over all great experience

Slow service and the guy working the counter is cussing at the person making the food while the restaurant has 9 kids sitting in here. He tells the girl, "Don't f'n do that sh!+" and she say she doesn't care. Not professional at all. He did give my daughter a lemon aide for free since they are out of Dr Pepper. read more

A little over a year ago I stopped eating here because their quality dropped to crappy service when they put three strands of Chessé on the Big Freaking Taco. Last week I stopped here to try it again around lunch time. The drive through associate claimed that their steamer was down and they could not cook food. Again today for some idiotic reason, I tried again. The steamers are still not working. Why don't they rope off the parking lot so customers don't waste their time driving through the drive through, or parking and going in. What idiots. read more

Taco Bueno - So this is the new BIG FREGGIN TACO. "WHERS THE BEEF". So long NO BUENO HERE!! - Mexican Near Me - Shawnee, Oklahoma

See all

If zero stars were an option I would choose that, but I'll give them the one star. We ordered a beef big freakin burrito-which they didn't have the right size Tortilla for but still charged full price-and we also ordered 3 regular bean burritos. They asked if we wanted salsa, we said no. We pay and get our food, the big freakin burrito is just a normal size burrito no lettuce or anything and the bean burritos were flavorless and has no sauce just tasteless beans. Will not be back to this location. If you don't have all your materials for an item then don't sell it or at least offer a discount read more

Doors were locked at noon on a Saturday. When I called to inquire as to why, the manager had a very poor attitude. Not locked due to Covid, just locked because they were "busy". There were three vehicles in the drive through. If that is too busy to serve other customers, they need to hire people that don't wear bicycle helmets to work. Manager's name is apparently Tony. Tony, you are a tool. read more

Decided to stop and try this location and ordered the fish taco platter and number 1 combo . Food was cold the rice I got with my fish taco platter was hard as rocks as if it hadn't been cooked . I was extremely disappointed with my first visit ever to a Taco Bueno . I don't recommend this location in shawnee ok . Definitely just avoid them . read more

Very gross. not clean. and all around a bad experience. If this recommendation was put up about 5 years ago it would have been 4 stars, but it closes down for long periods of time and every new owner it gets worse and worse. read more

4 customers waiting. 2 guys in the back working the drive thru. No one there to take orders for the front Smells like raw sewage. read more

Was asked to pull around front and wait for my one muchaco. Waited 15 minutes and they never brought it. Went back thru the drive thru and told them. They didn't offer to fix my muchaco no I'm sorry or nothing. After sitting there another 10 min waiting for them to refund my card. They finally just gave me cash. No compensation for my time or nothing. read more

Just don't go. This isn't just referring to 1 visit I've given them tons of opportunities to do better or at least decent. They take an eternity even if your the only person. Half the time they don't have something basic- yesterday it was beans. I've tried to call orders in understanding and knowing they usually take forever and they still can't get it. THEN if you still suffer all that they act hateful and are doing you a favor to feed you. Taco Bell sucks most of the time too if they would get their $hi+ together they could make a fortune more. Hire another person per shift or at least lunch and I swear the happy repeat customers would make up that $10/hr. I went today and saw 5 people come and leave cuz they was tired of waiting just to order. read more

Skip it... Actually -732 stars... Not sure how this place is still in business? The new marijuana law inciting uncontrollable munchies, maybe.. Taco Bueno has steadily declined since being sold to CKE in the mid 90's, and has gotten increasingly worse through their successors. Aware that their food quality has drastically declined since their bankruptcy filing in 2018, I made the ill-fated decision to give them another chance (probably because I remember how good they "once" were). My visit on 12/26/2019 @ 840pm-ish was probably the last... I was served the most disgusting, inedible bean burritos that have ever been conceived on this planet. The beans were cold, completely bland (ZERO seasoning whatsoever), and were CRUNCHY!!! Imagine, if you will, bean-flavored water full of crunchy bits... of... something.... Was that crunch under-cooked beans or bits of dried bean crust from the sides of the serving pan or something even worse?? It's anyone's guess. but the possibilities are terrifying... That's what's what I get for using the drive-thru. I was about 5 miles down I-40 before I figured it out. I had the wife try one when I got to the house (at least she could heat it) just to be sure I hadn't breached the edge of sanity. She took one bite and threw it in the garbage. I now have to perform several hours of penance for that poor decision... Although the staff was gracious and friendly, it does not make up for what should be considered a "soft poisoning." Unbelievable... DO NOT GIVE SHAWNEE TACO BUENO ANY OF YOUR MONEY, PERIOD. There are too many better options that won't make you question your worldly existence... read more

So as I'm pulling in parking lot is empty, see two coworkers standing out back. Get to the window and they tell me it's gonna be 45 minutes for a for 2 reg bean burritos no chili sauce xtra cheese? What a joke. I ask how long will it take several times and she doesn't tell me until the very end. When she could've avoided the entire conversation with we don't have food for 45 minutes which is weird anyways? What a joke taco bueno literally used to be my favorite place and i just wanted two burritos lol read more

12 noon, can't fill a signature order because the stuff is not cooked. WHAT!!! Crazy when a fast food joint has no food cooked.

Terrible I didn't know someone could mess up a plain burrito the food was terribly cooked it was cold

This location continues to become worse every time I have visited. I haven't been in a few months and thought I should give it another chance. Bad idea. Beans where burnt on my tostada and burrito. Looked like they just scraped the sides of the pan. My tostada didnt have hardly any lettuce nor cheese. It had maybe ten little flakes of cheese. Your staff does not care about the presentation or quality of your product. I truly don't​ understand how you stay in business. Food was horrible and service was worse. read more

This is the ONLY bad Taco Bueno in Oklahoma!! It is SO disappointing every single time I try it. The beans taste like PURE SALT! They are so salty you can't even eat a burrito. The drive through line takes at least 20-30 minutes every time! And the customer service is terrible, they don't even apologize when you get up to the window finally! Never going back here again. read more

This is literally the worst taco bueno I've ever eaten at. I'm in town for business, and I've tried it twice. Rice so uncooked it is crunchy in the black bean burrito. All dried out - beans are hard on the Chilada platter - the chicken ... just don't do it. It is nasty. I literally dumped it out and just ate the tortilla. It tastes like liquid smoke was dumped on it and it sat all day long under a heat lamp. I'm letting them know they need to up their game. read more

Taco Bueno - a half eaten plate of food - Mexican Near Me - Shawnee, Oklahoma

Gross. Place reaked of raw sewage. Told the employee. They said they've told management forever and since customers are not complaining to mgmt about it, they're not concerned. Walked out. read more

Pulled up to the drive thru. Had one person in front of me and no one behind me. It took them 5 mins just to take my order. I ordered 6 party burritos 6 soft tacos and 6 rice and bean party burritos. I pulled up. Paid. Sat at the window for 10mins before they asked me to pull around to the front. So I park and waited for another 12 mins and decided to go in. When I went in the manager was sitting outside smoking a cig and my food was sitting on the counter for who knows how long. I drive 6 mins back home and open up a soft taco to add sauce and noticed that the meat is cold almost as if it was just pulled from the refrigerator. So my wife calls to complain. The guy that answered the phone has literally zero customer service training. We asked for a refund after explaining the whole ordeal. He puts us on hold for another 5 mins. Comes back and says could you bring the food back to the store. So they can remake it or give us a refund. But I had to bring the food back. This is the slowest and worst customer service I have EVER experienced at a taco bueno establishment. I would love for a chance to speak with the franchise owner of this store or someone from corporate that can make some changes to this store. I will definitely not be returning and by the looks of all the negative reviews on this page neither will a lot of others. FIX THIS STORE OR CLOSE IT. read more

Stay away, stay very far away from this place. I am not too sure if other locations are this bad but please do not come here. Dirty and the food was awful. I would give it a 0 if I could. read more

Whole restaurant is filthy. No toilet paper, no paper towels. Multiple tables not wiped off. Drive-thru window closed so I had to come in. Only 3 people working. And they were working hard. Waited 15 min for one muchaco and one tostada. And they were not busy. Only 6 tables had people. This is a management problem. read more

Really like Taco Bueno. I would put them as my #1 Fast food taco joint. This restaurant is usually pretty quick to get food out. More often than not I hit the drive by and they are really fast if you grab it and go. If your in the area stop by. You should have a good experience. read more

Dirty. Salsa bar had spilled salsa etc... all over it. Drink station dirty. Tables hadn't been wiped down, there was not a clean table in the entire place! The food was bad! I had no seasoning and Maybe a tablespoon of meat in the tacos. My wife informed me that we would never eat here again! read more

Order wasn't correct even though we told the girl 3 times. Girl taking the order was rude will not return.

The food was just okay but the restaurant was beyond nasty and the restrooms were worse than that. Won't go there again.

This taco Bueno deserves ZERO STARS. I just had the most horrible experience. I asked for no meat in my nachos they added chilie Sause not telling me it had meat. I went inside to let them know. The young man or I should say boy who was making my foodused the "F" word towards Me . Another customer had her order wrong and I'm assuming he was directing his anger towards her too. I'm shaking and just about had a panic atract because I've never been treated so horrible at an eating establishment before. read more

Location has had some opportunities in the past but is making steps in the right direction!

This is a pretty good location as far as Taco Bruno's go. The service was fast and friendly. The food was decent for the price, as well as being a good value. The salsa bar is always a plus was well stocked. The lobby was clean as were the restrooms. I have been to this location several times and the service and quality of the food is consistent. I would recommend this location. I highly recommend the tortilla soup. read more

Great place to eat! Always served with a smile and they actually care about their customers. Would greatly recommend you stop in for a bite.

Taco hell no. Omg. I had a feeling this was a bad idea the second I walked through the door. The manager was in the back training a guy so I figured how bad could it be. The place reeked of broken dreams, lost hope and desperation. The cashier gave me a look like you sure you want to do this. Took like 15 minutes to get my order and when I opened my tacos there was pretty much nothing in them. Everything was cold and I didn't even eat my steak taco because it pretty much looked like canned dog food and was a similar temperature. Do yourself a favor and keep looking for somewhere else. Obviously anyone who works here doesn't give a sh*t. The place was disgusting. read more

I love Taco Bueno. But this location was AWFUL! There were two guys on duty. One working the line and one working the counter. We sat on the line for more than 10 minutes while the guy working he computer tried to get the couple's order right. He went and said something to the guy on the line to which he very rudely responded, "I will get to it when I'm done catching up the drive-in. They are going to have to sit and wait." Then when it was our turn, the guy on the line said "I have twenty tacos and twenty burritos to do before I can even get to yours." We stayed due to two very cranky toddlers. We ordered and waited for 15 min for our food. And it was gross. Most of it was cold, the rice was HARD, the cheese wasn't melted in the quesadilla, the party burritos were pretty much just beans. The place stunk and the salsa bar was disgusting and was pretty much empty. Will never be back to this bueno. read more

I eat at every location when near one while traveling. This is definitely one of the good ones. The bean burrito was wonderful. Always my favorite and what I judge by read more
