The help was very friendly, the place was clean, and the food very tasty. My burrito could have been slightly hotter is my only complaint. I didn't realize the franchise was as expensive as it was, but will definitely be back to this location! read more

First time coming.... not a fan of the meat. The tator tots were good and the taco shell stayed crispy long after we ordered but there no flavor. No thanks. read more

Love Taco John's! Better flavor than competitors and friendly staff! Clean and easy to access!

I would just like to add the last few times my husband and I have been to taco John's. We were greeted with with friendly and professional employees. They go out of your way to make sure you are aware of any specials. read more

We ordered through the app. The food was hot, fresh and tasty. Employees were friendly. One item was missing from our order and getting it replaced apologetically and delivered to our table was a positive experience. read more

This taco Johns has great customer service and a nice staff! I came here for lunch on a Sunday around 1pm with my wife, dad, mom, brother, and 3 nephews! We had a really large order and the food was pretty good! We ordered several items off the menu including taco burgers, chicken quesadilla, kids cheese quesadilla, beef soft taco, hard beef tacos, 4 orders of potato oles, and a cheese sauce on the side. We got an order of grilled chicken street tacos that we didn't even order for free. Everything was prepared fresh! The staff even gave my nephews free cinnamon sugar tortilla chips for free! I recommend coming here for lunch or dinner! read more

I love this place. I go here all the time. The food is delicious and the tacos are kinda spicy but not too spicy. Very cheap. The location is sketchy and poorly designed. Some of the employees are rude but the others are nice. I really like their soft shell tacos and the potato oles. Definitely give it a try with an open mind! read more

Taco John's - Potato Oles - Mexican Near Me - Bloomington, Illinois

Although the service was great, the food was mediocre at best. The restaurant was filthy and the ambiance was sad.

When they first started a reward program if you spend $5 you got a pun and after eight punches you got a free small combo well I had collected six of the small combos well somewhere along the line they supposedly came out with a email telling people that it's switching over to some kind of deal and I must have not got it and so they switched it over to some point system and now they've taken all my small combos away so now this Big Shot company that has bookoo money won't reimburse me my small Combos and they know that I've got them because it's on computer they're bunch of tight asses and now although they will give me it's just one. I can't believe this read more

See all

So Taco Johns is a favorite in my household. If there is one thing you need to get there it is the Ole's. They are like flat tater tots but they really are their own thing and really worth the try. I do agree with the other reviews however, the service here is very much hit or miss. Some of the workers are high or lazy and they take their time cooking up your food. Despite this the food comes out just as good so I cannot really complain as it's kinda worth the wait. I also cannot say much as I usually order a ton of food so making all of that cannot be put solely on them. In the end I recommend you try this place out even if it's to try an ole, you'll get addicted quick. read more

Gonna keep this short and simple: Major ick. The best thing about the place is the salsa bar-- but questionable. My stomach was making some SERIOUS rambling noises after this dinner and it rarely gets upset! read more

Food may be decent, but service is by far terrible! Usually no one in line and have to wait almost 20 minutes to get my order. The other day there was a car ahead of me and two behind me; had to wait almost 20 minutes for person in front of me to move. By the time I got to the window they had my order messed up and food not even prepared, had to bang on the window to get my money back and that took them another 10 minutes. I most certainly do not recommend taco johns and I most certainly will not be going back. I'll take Taco Bell over their crappy service anyway!! read more

It's fast food. The place is hectic and the food is okay. The dining area is always very clean.

I love Taco John's and this one was even more exceptional. I had the Super Chicken Burrito with Potato Ole's and the quality was fantastic. What was even more fantastic, was the customer service. So friendly. read more

Disappointed yet again. This is not the first time I've gone to this restaurant, and it's not the first time my order has either not been good, has been cold, or was in correct. On my last visit my taco salad's meat was cold and tasted as if it had been sitting out on the shelf. Today my quesadilla was made and apparently just thrown in the box to get rid of it. The restaurant was also dirty and the staff seemed indifferent about it - at least that's the impression they give considering there's always a spill on the floor. I really wish they'd just get their act together. read more

Literally the employees here are some of the nicest people I've seen in the service industry. Honestly, I've come back multiple times just because they've always been so freaking kind. Honestly if I could give the staff more than 5 stars I would. The food is also really great for the price. Thank god for Taco John's. read more

So ....is it kind of dumpy ? Yes. Are the outside lights always off making you think it's closed? Yes. Has the drive thru speaker not worked right for probably 10 years? Yes. BUT , I still like the food. Everytime I go I get charged a different price for the exact same thing. Lol, I still don't care. I like it. read more

Awesome customer service! Food was fresh. Always is. Thank you. Well always pick here over taco bell read more

We are fans of Taco Johns and were happy to see that there is still one in Bloomington. The staff were friendly and the menu has expanded quite a bit. But it was very dirty- garbage overflowing, potato oles all over the floor, the door glass was filthy, and no one was eating in the restaurant at the time so being busy didn't seem like the reason. But the bummer is that they forgot to put the cinnamon sugar on my churros! We didn't discover it until too late since we took our food to go. Oh well, we wish them luck! read more

Different tasting from Taco Bell but crunchy tacos are much meatier. 99-cents tacos can't be beat.

I wish their were more of these places instead of taco bells around. When i come here i usually get a couple soft shell beef tacos and some potato oles. The Potato oles have always been piping hot. The ingredients, including the meat, are a definite step above the mystery meat Taco bell offers, but stuff is a tad more pricey. On a side note, i really like how when you go inside the place you can see the employees making your food right in front of you so nothing is hidden from the customer's eyes read more

Horrible. Speaker in drive thru is obviously suffering through a broken phase. Somehow we didn't get drinks with our order then they tried to charge an obscene amount for the drinks that we had to reorder at the window. Then confusion set in when we said we weren't going to pay that much for a drink. Then it was more confusion when they realized they were wrong in charging us so much. As for food it was not edible. My daughter's over cooked and over peppered chicken had to be thrown away with the tacos that were cold. The Chicken was not horrible but I couldn't finish it. Overall a 100% unpleasant experience. Wouldn't want my dog to eat there. read more

The food is really good!!! There is a popular taco chain out there that can't even begin to compete!! The tacos are so good!!! The potato O'lays are the absolute best!! The nachos are amazing. Actually, I don't think I have ever gotten anything bad. I have to mention this... make sure you check your items if you go to the drive through. I think it's difficult for the people to hear you through their speakers and sometimes they miss something... HOWEVER, they have always made it right immediately and are super apologetic and nice. read more

I have no idea why Taco Bell is more popular than Taco Johns. Taco Johns meat quality is way better than taco bell. There is way more flavor and way better quantity as well. Also you will not pay more for better quality and quantity, in fact you will pay less, Taco John's hard shell tacos are cheaper by 30 cents! Taco John's used to have the best deal for food anywhere in town when they had 2 hard tacos for $1. Sadly they discontinued that, but they are still way cheaper than most other options at 69 cents a taco! A great place to go when i feel like driving across town just to eat there for a delicious & money saving lunch. read more

Their tacos at this location taste to bland. The street tacos where soggy shells and were watery. I haven't been in since they have new management. So I might give them one more chance. read more

Taco johns is always a special treat! This restaurant is a little on the dingy side. The bathroom needed a better cleaning and the soda machine wasn't working quite right. But I'll give them 4 stars if only because the staff was nice and friendly when we visited there. The food was good. read more

great service and they never mess up my order.I really like the loaded nacho which is a very good size order.The taco bravo is one of my favorites as well.Everyone is always nice and i never have any issues here. read more

My favorite place to eat! You can never go wrong with a beef borito or mexi rolls!

Very dirty kitchen. The food is a lot different at this location than other locations. Staff was very friendly, though.

Ok has Taco Bell's are closing in the Dupage county area bloomington has been lucky to have kept this ageing taco bell type American taco stand for a long time. I always try to hit this place and their cheap tacos. This is an American runned taco stand and pretty much a staple taco bell type menu. The meat and cheeze always seems to be of superior texture compared to the bell and how this place has not managed to be everywhere in other parts of the country I will never know. Maybe it is more located in rural areas but this is the only franchise I have ever seen. My favorite place when hitting my old college area. read more

The food it pretty much on par with Taco Bell. The place always dirty and run down looking.

I really wish I would've read these reviews first. Our order was wrong , the drive through speaker was worse than shouting from the drive thru window. They left off 2 Pepsi's then told us it would be $6.61 for 2 medium Pepsi's. The drive thru board stated the drinks were $1.99 so I'm not sure how they got $6.61. We drove away without drinks. The chicken bites were mostly breading and minuscule amount of chicken . DO NOT go there .. We regretted it:( read more

Major health concern, employees are not sanitary...experienced this twice in once visit. Recommend going elsewhere for your food.

The tacos were o.k., but the potato ole's were soooo salty they were not edible. I went through the drive-thru so didn't taste them until I got home. Restaurant mgmt. or someone should taste one every once in awhile so they aren't choking every one with salt. I highly suggest that if you order the potatoes that you taste one or two before you drive off. When I picked one up I could feel the salt on my fingers. Ugh ! read more

Was really wanting to eat there. There was at least 5 employees had to wait forever to even get someone to start to take our order. The cook decided he wanted to pick & blow his nose. I was watching him he never did wash his hands & went to making my order. Right quick I said something then walked out. That is sooooooooooooooooooo gross!!!!!! read more
