Looks like a brand new restaurant! When we arrived we were the only ones there! We were there at kind of an odd time around 3pm! We sat in the car and debated on if the food would be cold and stale or fresh. We were pleasantly surprised by our piping hot potato ole's! Glad we went for it and gave them a chance! read more

I like Taco John's and see it is as a slightly higher end Taco Bell alternative given that there is no Taco Bell in Colby. The burritos are tasty and filling as are the tacos, either soft or hard shell. You can't go wrong with a basic taco. They serve potato oles which are like flattened, tater tots. I like them but find then to be WAAAYYY too salty for my taste. Other than that, I enjoy the service and convenience of the drive through. The place can be slow to get food out on busy days so be patient and nice. They are doing their best. read more

Need a quick meal during a long road trip, stop here! The food was made quickly and tasted great! The kid at the register recommended the taco bravo and I'm glad I tried it! The crunchy taco inside a soft taco with refried beans is genius! The flavor was amazing and the texture was good! The tots with tacos is a funny paring but was good! I enjoyed all the crunches and textures. Very filing, highly recommend! read more

I was hoping this would be a better Taco Bell. I was wrong. The burrito was not good at all.

This place is awful. No flavor. Expensive, little value. Never again. Slow service. Dirty bathroom. read more

TL;DR - CLOSED AT 9PM DESPITE SIGNAGE SAYING OTHERWISE- If you're looking for Mexican in this area, and you run into this problem, check out Dos des Oros down the street, they're open and delicious. THE PROBLEM: I'm on a 10hr roadtrip, and excited to eat at Taco John's. Apple Maps says it closes at 11pm. Fantastic. We pull up at 9:15pm - CLOSED. I check the sign. Says closes at 10pm. So by two different metrics, we should be fine. One of the workers explains that "corporate" feeds the closing times to Apple Maps and prints the sign (still weird that they are different), but this location always close at 9pm due to being short staffed. To either the owner of this location, or the corporate office: PLEASE DISPLAY ACCURATE HOURS. It's the fastest way to improve your customer interactions and ratings. Plus, your employees won't have to deal with irritate, hungry people weary from roadtrips who can't get their tacos. read more

I cannot count on my fingers how many times this place gets my order wrong. Usually missing items. The definition of stupid is doing the same thing repeatedly and getting the same results . I'm not stupid. One less place for me to eat in Colby. read more

This was my first time eating at a Taco John's. I've stayed in the hotel next door to this Taco John's numerous times but never ventured in due to my opinion of another taco chain. However, after a long day of driving we were looking for something quick and convenient. I had the Chicken boss burrito combo (comes with potatoes ole and a beverage). The wife had the Four cheese steak quesadilla combo (also with potatoes ole and a beverage). We both thought the potatoes ole were cooked to perfection - they were excellent. I had my burrito with both pico de gallo and roasted corn and pepper salsa - it was an excellent burrito. My wife also thoroughly enjoyed her quesadilla. The only downside to our visit was the older man working the order counter. He had zero personality and was almost totally non-communicative. He did get our order entered correctly but certainly wasn't customer service focused. Despite his lack of personality, our overall impression was good and we'll definitely be back. Much better than the other taco chain. read more

Average food for an ok price. Clearly not the best Mexican food around. Same as it was years ago.

Why are there not more Taco John's? They could really give Taco Bell a run for their money. This location had very friendly service. Give the chicken bacon guac taco a try, as well as the donut bites. Yum! read more

Had lunch here while passing through Colby Kansas. I had the combo number one (two beef crunchy tacos and a large drink with chips and cheese). The service was fast and the food was decent. This restaurant is along the lines of a Del Taco type of food. With a visit if you are passing through and want a quick bite. read more

We don't do a lot of fast food but decided to check out this place while on the road. The breakfast burritos were very good and so were the tater tots. Service was welcoming and friendly. The restaurant itself and the restrooms were spotless. Would definitely stop again when in the area. read more

Food was okay. There are very little condiments available. When I asked for sour cream for the quesadilla I was told it was 1.29. read more

The service was not good got disrespected and the food made my friend puke from the boss burrito but the ambience was ok

This must be the cleanest, busiest & most efficient Taco John's I've ever been to. It is located off Highway 70 in the middle of nowhere Kansas. It is about 3 hours East of Denver so a good place to stop for lunch before arriving in Denver. The employees were very polite & courteous. They even had one employee that cleaned tables and took your garbage. The restaurant was busy but the employee happily took our order and it was ready with a short wait. Highly recommend this Taco John's. Wish they had one closer to home! read more

Food is always great here. We always stop here on the way to Denver, once a year. Same person that took our order last year did this year. What wonderful place to stop for lunch after riding in a car for 6 hours!. Place is always clean, bathrooms too. Wish there were more taco johns near me in Florida Will be back, going find a taco johns while in Denver. read more

We walk in. I ask the front counter lady what she would recommend. Her reply: *looks at the wall menu and looks back at me* "Nothing." So, we left. Thank you front counter person for your honesty. read more

Had 15 minutes left till closing and never answered the drive through. Just really upsetting

Stopped here on our way through Kansas. WOW!! If I could give this place 10 stars I would. The staff was friendly the food came fast and oh boy was it awesome! I got the Grilled Chicken burrito and my son got the Steak & Shrimp burrito, both were fantastic. The donut bites were awesome as well. I wouldn't even attempt to compare this place to Taco Bell as Taco John's is on a whole different (way better) level as Taco Bell. Wish we had these where I live. read more

Good. Actually pretty good. It is like Taco Bell but with more flavor. The street tacos were very tasty. The lime sauce on the street tacos was superb. The refried beans were flavorful. The place is very clean. My son loved the kid's crunchy chicken. My wife enjoyed the crispy tacos. Prices are a little higher than Taco Bell, but so worth it. read more

Taco John's - Street Tacos are so good! Full of flavor! - Mexican Near Me - Colby, Kansas

Good food and good location, especially if you are staying at the Holiday Inn Express. Wasn't a fan of the nacho sauce and chips. But the steak and potato burrito and the chicken quesadilla was good. read more

After we ate, went into the bathroom. Was washing my hands, a female employee came in and used the restroom and hurried out without washing her hands. If we hadn't eaten, we would not have had stayed and ate here. That truly is inexcusable. Taco John's at this location, please do better. Really sad thing is that the food was fresh and tasty. read more

Good fast food. I thought the potatoes looked under cooked, but they were perfect especially dipped in cheese dip.

Love love love their Taco's, It's whats for lunch everytime I'm out west. Awesome and Clean Taco Johns!!! Their taco salads are really good too, nice and flaky shell. If you want a good Taco stop here. I mix the pico in with the salsa. Yummm. read more

It is what it is. We always hit Colby around lunchtime, and this is the best fast food option in town. Believe me, as frequent travelers between NE Kansas and Colorado Springs/Denver/Boulder, we've tried them all. TJ's product is consistent. We have one in our hometown. The counter crew is always friendly. Bathrooms are clean. The size of the crowd on a Saturday noon told me the locals like TJ's too. read more

Sign and internet say open until 10 pm, pulled up at 9:20 pm and store is closed and employee is counting down drawer, SIGN NEEDS CHANGED OR THEY NEED TO STAY OPEN DURING HOURS OF OPERATION. read more

Well it's a friday night at 9:10pm. My ol' lady wanted Taco John for when she got off at 10pm. Google said that the store didn't close til 10pm. So I went over sat in the drive thru for about 15-20 min. waiting for someone to take my order. So I drove around to a window to see maybe their machine wasn't working. I got to the window and was told that they closed at 9pm even though their hours on the drive thru window even stated that they didn't close til 10pm. There wasn't any type of notification that they were closing early or anything. I had at least 3 cars behind me and 1 in front of me. And I hope they are thankful that I can't post picture because I would. read more

Taco John's is good in the scheme of regional fast food chains. I only saw them in Kansas so I do not know how wide spread they are, but I would stop again in a Taco John's. I ordered a stuffed grilled taco ($2.89) and a soft taco ($1.79). The stuffed grilled taco was a crispy taco shell with beef, cheese, nacho cheese, hot sauce, and tortilla chips (I skipped sour cream). Then, it is wrapped and grilled in a flour tortilla. It was huge and decent. I really could have just had that as my meal. The soft taco was good and especially redeeming after eating garbage tacos at Jack in the Box the previous day. My brother got the kids meal, which was dirt cheap. He got the chicken bites, potato ole's, graham crackers, and a drink. It was a huge kids meal. I agree with others that the potato ole's have way too much salt, but he enjoyed his meal. This Taco John's is also convenient to quite a few hotels in Colby. All in all, a great chain for a stop on a cross-country drive. read more

Growing up in Colby, I ate Taco Johns...alot. There is a reason for this. It's a well managed, well maintained "mexican" inspired fast food chain. Everything on here, from burritos to tacos are amazing. And as mentioned potatoes oles...droooooool. I don't live in Colby anymore, but when I do, I make it a point to stop at Taco Johns. read more

Do not go to this place! The owner is a jerk! Poor poor customer service! Shame on you! Complaining you had to work 4 hours.

Got to be honest. This place is subpar even by fast food Mexican standards. You would be better served with a Taco Bell or Dell taco. All of the food here is incredibly bland and they seem to make their living off of tater tot's loaded with things like cheese and sour cream and other Mexican style toppings. The refried beans are straight out of a can with no flavor whatsoever and everything is very bland. It's the only place I've ever been where the package hot sauce was better than the homemade hot sauce. Do yourself a favor and skip it. read more

This place is great for fast food. I don't eat a whole lot of fast food, but it's much better than Taco Bell or McDonalds. The Potatoe Ole's are awesome, and yes they are salty, but isn't that part of fast food? I typically order the Super nacho with chicken, keep the beans. It's like a Nacho Bell Grande from Taco bell. I love dessert and they offer me a choice with the sweet cream churro, with no cinnamon. Which is awesome since I'm allergic to cinnamon and I never get to eat churros. read more

Heading through Kansas and stopped here based off reviews. Hubby got chicken burrito. Said it was good, I got the bean burrito. Not bad. The potatoes were good. But salty! I don't mind salt. I love salt but they were too much for hubby All in all. Much better than Taco Bell. 3.5 stars read more

How much salt does it take to make you feel ill? Get a large order of potato ole's with a side of nacho cheese and find out. The place is clean. The staff is great. The food is sorta obnoxious. read more

I love TJ's in Colby! I also love their breakfast! they're breakfast is to die for! I get the B1 with Sausage and I tell you what it does so well on starting your day out on the right foot. I rarely Ever get a messed up order and when I do they fix the issues quickly. I can only comment on the chicken and breakfast food here because that's all I get. I don't particularly like the beef but that's for personal reasons. I always get the Chicken Potato Burrito and they're always delicious. The staff is courteous and efficient. read more

We always love Taco John's when we're out west: quick road food, yummy condiment bar, potato olés: bring it on! This particular one is one of the nicest. First, they know how to keep up with a crowd. Even when the parking lot's jammed, there's no line and orders are accurate. Second, the dining room is clean and pleasant, thanks to the dining room hostess, Kathey, who always has a kind word for everyone and keeps the trays and tabletops and condiment bar immaculate. This may not be authentic, but it sure as heck is good when you're trying to put some miles on your car. read more

Good stand by for tasty tacos. 4 star on the food, 5 star on the costumer service! Very helpful and efficient, everything was very clean and the tables were all wiped off. Very good Taco John's! read more

Eating fast food dinner on business travel - I must be lost. Very slim options in Colby. Nice clean place with descent service. Seemed confused by my simple order and I think I was overcharged, but I don't feel like gambling $20 or $30 at a real restaurant. Never mind on the 'fast' part, service is sloooow. Everybody else in here is at least 80, hope they have time to get their food. Rating is dropping... Order finally arrives with about 50% accuracy. Doing deep breathing. Moron in Clown Posse t-shirt walks in... Marginal uptick for avg life expectancy, but avg IQ takes a big hit. Oh yeah, the food. I would say takes me back to the good days of Taco Bell before they went to pure slop. Pretty good is all, but for fast food these days, that's toward the top of expectations. I don't get nor care for the tater tots in everything read more

I'd never heard of Taco John's before a long drive across the country this past summer. We stopped at this one in Colby. The inside of the fast food restaurant is very clean, casual and quiet. It would have been nice to eat in here, but we had dogs with us, so we ate in the car. My favorite thing we tried was the potato oles. They were absolutely delicious. My burrito and taco were pretty good too. In retrospect, we should have bought an extra order of oles just for snack food as we continued on the road. read more
