We appreciate Flying J's Boondocking attitude. Similar to that of Walmarts. Never had a taco and I didn't want to start now. Their dining facility was way too much and took too long. Looks like a good place for a Kentucky fried chicken or McDonald's. Probably would run everybody else out of town. We felt rain last night for the first time in six months. Missing all the people back in AZ. Again thank youFlying J read more

Traveling across Iowa. Wanted something local to eat. I wanted a Taco Salad without avocado. The Clerk suggested an Avocado salad. I knew then I was in trouble. Ordered regular taco salad. She asked what dressing? What are your choices? She indicated a house dressing. Ok, what is that? She said" I don't know, I'm new, just started working here." Now I'm waiting for her to get info. Not happening. So I asked a fellow working the grill. He explained the dressing. She still standing there. "Take that as a training moment." Also ordered 2 tacos. They had a teaspoon on beef, just like the taco salad. They are located inside the Flying J which I love!! The ladies working there are absolutely awesome. Ambiance is typical travel center. Clean restroom and plenty of parking. Thank goodness for the fresh Taco bowl. read more

Met the standard that I am accustomed to at a Taco John's. Friendly staff with quick service and food that did the trick. It doesn't hurt that it is located in Eagles Landing when you can buy a full medieval armor or just get yourself a walking stick. read more

Always heard about this chain and finally had a chance to try it driving through Iowa. It is different in a good way from Taco Bell or Del Taco. The tacos are spicier and the fried potatoes are very good. Service was quick and friendly. Prices are reasonable. read more

Very rude staff! Do not want to work much and have no idea about customer service! Made all the customers use the kiosk instead of working themselves! I asked if it's been cleaned lately? He said yes! But it was still very dirty! And with Covid-19 version 6 going around now! I feel it's very unsafe to use such things! As I don't order from kiosk, or use self checkouts! i'm not going to do there job for them! I'm not the one getting paid for it! And Several customers had to come back up and have there food re-made while I was waiting on my food! Note my own food was cold when I got it! I feel personal it's just extremely laziness by any and all companies that are doing this now! I am not the one getting paid to work at these places! So I feel I should not have to take my own order! So I will NOT return to this location because of this! This Taco Johns is in the Pilot/Flying J travel center (truck stops) read more

More like upscale Taco Bell nothing fancy staff well just there to make a living will eat here again

I am completely appalled at my recent experience at the taco John's located by the pilot truck truck in sioux city. I never leave yelp reviews until this just happened. I went thru the drive thru and ordered a chicken n potato griller and potato oles and a water..the lady repeated my order back as a steak n potato griller and I corrected her that it was chicken n potato griller and she said "oh ok" and told me my total..I got my food, took a couple bites of it and realized it was not chicken and immediately went right back thru the drive thru..when I explained the mistake of my food, the guy at the window accused me of trying to get free food and that if I wanted the chicken potato griller, he would rering my order..I was furious that they wanted to charge me again..I eventually talked to a manager, got my correct order and a refund of the price difference between steak n chicken.. read more

Always a great spot, when deciding to stop by to grab some okay tacos, it really good when you're hungry, but it's better than most out here. I really liked how awesome all the staff were and nice they were. I really wanted to say thank you to the nice staff and all the friendly faces, even the other customers were nice. read more

It's better than Taco Bell. Really wasn't for me. If you're in dire need to eat something then go for it. I was stuck and really didn't have a choice. Didn't regret it but also wasn't proud. read more

Well.....wow My wife (bless her heart) thinks Taco Johns (should be Juan's but whatever) is gods gift against Taco Bell. Let me tell you something about this. Bullf***ing s**t! For 12 "Serloin Street tacos" measuring no more than 4" long, with 000.2 ounces of "serloin steak" each, some pico and lettuce with a slight sprinkling of queso cheese....add extra cheese, limes and pico....cost $45.97 Have you ever been food raped? I didn't think this was possible. But here it is. If I added up the cost of ingredients, the $15 for 4 employees, storefront, and wages for 4 employees, to put together this "most wonderful meal" (joke) I would be out $5. These assholes just pocketed $40 in 35 seconds. I'm all about capitalism, but this is flat out bullshit. I GUARANTEE you this, taco John's....you will NEVER see a dime of my money again read more

Tasteless. It tastes like old cheap grease with salt added for volume and weight. Not worth it. Went to the garbage can.

These folks are awesome. They definitely understand customer service! They labeled the food and were super friendly!

Not the best service, yelled at a man. But the cashier was kinda hot so it equals out. read more

Taco John's - Fast Food Near Me - Avoca, Iowa

At 8:30pm on a Monday there weren't many other options. I got a soft taco and am already feeling sick to my stomach just minutes later. It's inside the Flying J travel stop and seemed fairly up to date, but it's not the place to stop if you can go farther down I-80. read more

Taco Johns Always Good Food, Good Value, Good Service. If U Like Light Taco's,EspeciallyChicken Taco's &Burritos, Round Hashbrowns.

Horribly slow service while one employee sat and played on her phone after putting dirty trays over the condiments. Sour cream on the bottom of the street tacos with lettuce tomatoes and chicken on top of everything, except for one taco that didn't have any chicken. Once I bit into ice I was done and tossed the two tacos and what was left of the third. read more

service was great, but we always order the street tacos, the potatoes were good, but the tacos tasted like there was something rotten in them, I had hair in mine. half our food went into the trash. read more

The worst employee I ever seen!!!! Standing for good 10 min before they realize customer are back up!!! One of the manager name Tammy need to find different job!! 2 employees at the truck stop restaurant horrible!!! The food is tase like leftovers chicken!!! read more

Richard at the front counter was so pleasant. He was very energetic taking orders while taking his time to not rush customers. Thanks for your A+ service! read more

Took two bites out of my potato grilled and what do ya know a nice long piece of brown hair poking out staring at me SMH

Eh... this location seemed about as clean and welcoming as the rest of the truck stop (not very). One employee was standing on some sort of stool cleaning walls, and went crashing down while my lunch was being made. Luckily no one was injured but it seemed to set the standard for the level of service. It is a very open "kitchen" so you are able to watch everything being made. Overall it just didn't seem that clean or enticing to me. read more

Taco John's is always decent for fast food tacos. However, the customer service at this one was way above average for a fast food joint.

Friendly people making amazing food. The service was quick, and the Oles were made better than I've ever had. read more

Ordered scramblers and cancelled onions and bacon. There is no mention that it also has eggs but the gentleman there tells me that you can see it has eggs right in the picture! I don't eat meat and eggs and my food goes to waste because he "doesn't know what can he about it". Poor customer service. read more

Food is what you expect from a Taco John's but what made me give the Taco John's 2 stars was all the missing items in my order. Ordered a combo 8 and didn't get my potato ole. Ordered chips and nacho sauce and didnt get the chips. The food expediter needs to pick up her game. read more

Clean inside. The workers were very friendly. The food was good. 5 stars because of the helpful worker named link with the Zelda tattoo (triforce)! Restrooms one of the stalls was pretty nasty but a worker cleaned it up on a timely manner. read more

This was a a delightful stop on our beautiful drive through cloudy ass Iowa. Potato Oles are the best side in the whole world! Yum yum yum soooo good! I deep throated a crunchy-chicken meat and potato burrito and it was A+. Great service too, nice people :D read more

I've tried this place twice now. The food is meh for me. Nothing wrong with service. But I think the uninspiring food is due to what Taco John thinks how a taco shop should be. If you haven't tried others I guess you wouldn't know what better can be like. read more

If you're jonesing for tacos you won't find many other places to eat around here.

This place was disgusting. A woman who was working was shoving food in her mouth while making food.

I was used to taco bell, and this place blows it away. It is the best Mexican food I have ever had. They even use real salsa instead of just taco sauce. read more

Food poisoning! It didn't have the cleanest kitchen but I made the mistake of getting something anyway. I left with food poisoning. We later talked with a friend who passes through fairly often and were told that this location is notorious for food poisoning. Stay away! read more
