The food was BELOW sub-par, 1/2 my order was missing and we were unable to reach the management to lodge a complaint! They shoved our takeout order into a greasey bag, and what WAS there I wouldn't give to a starving dog!! Don't waste your money, all you'll get in return is an upset stomach, empty pockets... and hung up on when you try to let them know the issues! read more

I went here a short a while ago and my experience was just horrible. The young girl taking my order had to redo it like 3 times and she had no idea what was in the food and also did not know they did not have certain items. I ordered a few Burritos with Beef and it took forever to get them. I bit into them and my flour tortilla was hard, and the burrito was dry. I went to the front to get help and the drink I ordered( which I never got) and the employees were either on their phones or just not there. I asked for a manager and was told there was no one on duty. I did not get my drink, replacement food, or a refund. I will never go back to this location. read more

Very friendly very fast and the tacos are good way better than Taco Bell and they have potato olays

Went to Taco Johns again to get some gift cards. It was a quick transaction with a bonus: an extra $5 gift card for purchasing a certain dollar amount! What was even better was the free taco I received because of a challenge in ringing up the cards initially. Two pleasant surprises in one day! Thank you!! read more

Taco John's - Tasty taco with delicious sauce on the side! - Fast Food Near Me - Forest Lake, Minnesota

One of the cleanest Taco John's I've ever been to. They are getting harder and harder to come by. The main reason we come is for the Ole's- yes, please. I've tried to make these at home, but they are not as good. So when we feel like splurging for a little cup of grease, this is where we head. Friendly counter service and they bring it out to you. Salsa bar- a small one, but they have a few salsas and some jalapenos cut up. Clean restaurant The rest of the tacos are what you expect for fast food. Nothing spectacular, but again, the Ole's are why we pay a visit. read more

Just got my LAST taco Tuesday from here. Inflation is around 8% right now and they raised their taco tuesday price by 20%. Does it actually cost them $5 more to make 25 tacos for my family or are they using this as an excuse to increase profits? Did their employees get a 12% raise? I don't think so. Taco John's is part of the problem. Another place that got hundreds of dollars from my family a year and now they will get zero. read more

Old lady working drive thru each morning is great but their breakfast is delicious but feels excruciating on the stomach. It's all I eat some mornings and it always manages to make me feel crappy the rest of the day. Today, I actually threw up from the food. Ugh. Won't be coming back after this. read more

Taco Johns is a disgrace to Mexican food! 8 bucks for the worst burrito I have ever had! This place makes Taco Bell look like a 5 star restaurant. What is up with these disgusting tater tots??? I almost vomited just smelling these nasty little things! Restaurant was filthy. Not a clean table in the place and garbage all over the floor. Restroom smelled like piss. Staff was rude and unmotivated. The positive thing is you are next door to Chuck and Don's Pet Food. Their menu is much more appealing than anything John has to offer. read more

Taco John's - Taco John's nasty ass tater tots! - Fast Food Near Me - Forest Lake, Minnesota

In today's world where customer service has fallen out the window, it was a breath of fresh air visiting this Taco John's. The entire staff was super friendly - actually looked be enjoying their jobs. The dining room was super clean (even the restroom). The food was delicious. You could tell it was put together with care. The manager, Dawn, was extraordinarily pleasant with every person that came in the door. She was super respectful to her staff, as well. She even checked in with guests seated within the dining room. I'll be back, without doubt, and will be recommending to my friends. read more

For a franchise store, I love this place! It is on the west side of the I-35 freeway near Menards and Home Depot. Years ago they were downtown Forest Lake, but this new place is much better. The new Santa Fe Burritos/bowls are great! I prefer the beef Santa Fe in the bowl with mild corn salsa and add lettuce and pico (no charge for these, but guacamole and others may be an up charge- just ask). I don't know what it is about Potato Ole's, but Mmm they are good. Too good. Plenty of seating to choose from or use the drive through. Very friendly managers and staff! Why would you choose McDonalds, BK or Wendy's when you have a choice like this? read more

By far the worst restaurant in Forest lake. Go through the drive-through no seasoning on the potato lays, give me a super burrito rather than a super being burrito that was a win now. No napkins and a teenager in with an attitude lady. No hot sauce either. This place is a regular disappointment for the people of Forest lake the only reason we go back as for potato lays that my wife likes. Horrible customer service horrible horrible horrible read more

I'm a long time customer first time reviewer. This particular Taco Johns is by far the cleanest one I have ever been to. The food is always hot and excellent tasting. The employees always ask if your food is ok and are genuinely nice people. read more

The staff here was friendly and efficient. The potato oles were a little soggy but everything else tasted perfect. It is the fastest Taco Johns I have ever been to. read more

New to the area, a friend of mine wanted to check this place out, so i def check it out, the meat inside of the taco was fresh and healthier, it was like another verison of taco bell but kinda healthier?. Def liked it, not so use to the meat but it was good regardless. Love it. be back soon read more

I've been a fan of Taco Johns for years and, in fact, I used to frequent this one when it was located on the Main Street in Forest Lake years ago. However, I came back to MN for a family reunion this past August and the food here was horrible! The taco shells were stale, most of the lettuce was wilted and they put barely any cheese at all on the tacos. The potato ole's were overcooked and they skipped the taco sauce altogether. The restaurant was clean; I'll say that much. I am still a fan of Taco Johns; just not this particular one. They need some work. read more

I cant even give it a star, really the taco meat was like a watery first time cooks packet seasoning mess. I have a recipe but I don't know if it would do any good for them. How can you have a chain store, are they all this bad. Isn't it the easiest meal to cook. It was like peppered watery mess. YUCK, I used to think Taco Bell was bad not anymore they have changed for the better. Maybe Jon can talk to the border and make good Tex Mex or what ever its supposed to be read more

I got the shredded beef street tacos and they were really good. They came out fast and as I ordered them. I'm new to the area and hadn't been to a Taco John's before. The Taco Bell down the street is a lot less attractive now. read more

Absolutely the worst customer service I've ever had the girl working was extremely rude and did not greet us nor said thank or smiled not even one time. Our order was wrong and even when we did get our potato Oles they were pure salt ( literally tasted like salt ) we did not get our dippers and we found a piece of hair in my burrito . Hands down the worst food and service thus far . I will not be going to a Taco Johns again. So disappointing . read more

Good tacos and nachos for a fast food chain. Service can be slow when they are busy.
