This place is one of my favorites to go to but they never seem to get anything right! Every single thing I order something has to be messed up. read more

They didn't give my friends the right order after we repeatedly told them tomatoes on one and none on the other they were being mean and they were like just flat out rude some 50 year old ladies was being mean to us at the drive thru the only reason they're getting 2 stars is because my burrito was good DO NOT COME here if YOU HAVE ALLERGIES read more

Good service at the drive through. Very quick and polite. Food was good. Will definitely go back for a quick bite.

Super nice workers, good always fresh and fast (and delicious). This is a must have for several visits when we come back to my husband's home town. read more

You know when your food is ready before you can fix your drink it's going to be cold, this location has gone down hill for awhile, don't complain about a item your get hair in your replacements like I did. read more

I got the street tacos, which were good and just the right portion. The potato oles portions are large so don't upgrade unless you're super hungry! I especially loved them because of the special seasoning. The staff was friendly, the restaurant & restrooms clean. read more

Taco John's - a sign on a brick wall - Mexican Near Me - Marion, Illinois

I think that being told that it will take at least 20 minutes to get my order (before I even ordered a taco, and after I'd been standing at the counter where no one even bothered to come up to the counter is a bit much. Good bye Taco John's. This store should be out of business. Or at least revamp management. This store has always been slow. But this is too much. It might take 15 min to get through drive thru but obviously they're giving it priority.... Why keep your store open if you treat customers this way? Wow wow wow. read more

6 tacos soft or hard shells & a pound of tater tots for $10 & stuffed grilled taco for $2.39. It's not exactly Rick Bayless @ Frontera Grill, but hey nothing is open in this Dan town and it was pretty tasty and a whole lot cheaper then Frontera Grill. Hey I'm a survivor and I have to eat. I don't understand southern IL nothing is open down here on Sunday read more

See all

I'm tired of them closing earlier than their signs indicate. I went by there the other night at 9:40 pm and the lobby was closed. Their lobby is supposed to stay open until 10:00 pm. I went there tonight at 10:30 pm to go through the drive-through and they were closed. The drive-through is supposed to stay open until 11:00 pm. I understand if they want to close lobby at like 9:00 pm and their drive-through at 10:00 pm, but change their signs. I'm tired of driving out of my way, only to find they decided to close early on a whim. Change your signs or stay open when you are supposed to. I'm thinking of actively boycotting them. I'm sick of this. It has happened way too many times. I'm also tired of getting home only to find my food is cold. read more

Under new management and not for the better. Consistently out of ingredients. Dirty tables. This was once one of my favorites where we enjoyed dinner every Sunday. read more

This place used to be good. Now since the makeover it has gotten worse. No workers in the back meant no food. So slow. We got our money back and will never gonna go back!!! read more

The food is alright for a chain. I like it more than Taco Bell. The pope review mainly applies to this location. The food consistently takes over 30 minutes to get out to you. The workers here just don't care and I've seen them get in arguments with customers. The staff here just make for unpleasant experience. If you want fast food in this area, avoid this place at all costs. If you want to go viral on TikTok, film the misconduct that happens here on a daily basis lol. read more

I used to LOVE Taco Johns, now it's just ok. Much better than Taco Bell. Here's my issue. I bought the new street tacos. Since when are street tacos a flour tortilla? I literally have 4 pieces of meat on each taco. I got a potato ole and asked for the house dressing. They now charge extra for it. Taco Johns used to keep it free in the dressing bar. I asked for Extra lime they gave me 2 for three tacos. Seems the new owners are getting cheap and not better. I miss my old Taco Johns owners when dressing was free and they didn't get cheap with little extras. I wouldn't have even bothered writing a yelp review but the final straw was I saw an ad on the table for pumpkin churros. I go up to order a couple and they don't have them. It's sept 26th and evidently they ran out. Poor management on that I would think. Service was excellent when ordering. Food just ok. Update: I decided to give them another try and got their 6pack and a pound. I got home and was ripped off a taco and they didn't give me any sauce. I'm so done with this place. read more

Looking for a quick drive thru with good food? This is not the place! ordered our food and sat at the window forever! Our whole drive thru experience lasted 30 minutes. we ordered breakfast burritos and two beef tacos. The breakfast food was HOT which is good but the beef tacos felt like they had been in the refrigerator. The person working at the window was rude. I do not recommend this place at all. read more

Never had a problem before. But this week me and three of my co-workers got food poisoning from Taco Johns. Taco Tuesday was not our best choice this week. Two of the employees ended up with a trip to the ER. One had to get an IV. Don't recommend going there till there employees learn to sanitize their hands prior to returning to work. read more

I like to try places that I can't get at home when I vacation so this place was a little bit off the highway and it's probably the only way it can keep up; it was during lunch hour when we got there but the line was nonstop. We decided not to go through the drive-through and instead do curbside pick up. I got on the website through Safari and ordered. In just a couple of minutes I would say maybe seven, a girl was bringing us our food; which was wonderful since I couldn't figure out how to check in since I didn't create an account. We ordered the steak quesadilla tacos and they were amazing. There wasn't cheese on the taco, it was just from the quesadilla - it was so good. They came with salsa and pico on the tacos which I really liked. They offered like a potato fry side and they offer them loaded as well and I believe they had loaded nachos and loaded baked potatoes if I remember right. Excellent find, very pleased. Would definitely stop if I came across another. read more

I learned from two of my deaf friends being denied of their service because they are deaf when they tried ordering and then one of the servants called police on the deaf guy?!? Just because they were refused service at the drive thru when they were able to accommodate by showing texts or writing what they want to order instead they are being told called off and telling them go away? You lost deaf customers in this town. They have rights to order drive thru just like anyone else, but you are treating them like they are an hassle to you and with affliction? Horrible. Now they are considering more actions with legal. Good luck. read more

This place was absolutely dreadful. After waiting for 30 minutes our food came out hard and nasty. All of the people that were supposed to be making our food was arguing in the back. The kitchen area was dirty. I would definitely not eat here. read more

need to fix closing hours I have been on the road too long just to go 5 miles out and come to find out it's closed.

Food was alright. Bread for the taco burgers was stale. Counter help was terrible read more

One of my very first jobs when I was 16 was working at a Taco John's restaurant. The Taco John's in Marion does not disappoint, and everything seems to be up to spec according to the way Taco John's would like things to be made. Fast service, consistent quality, and a clean dining area inside make this a regular stop for me when I'm craving some fast Mexican food. As far as "Taco John's" restaurants go, this one truly is "as good as it gets." read more

Very disappointed, I always remember Taco John's having a substantial proportions as compared to Taco Bell. I was excited about finding you on our travels. After this visit, you are overpriced by what I received for my money. This is the last time I will visit a taco John's. You are officially at the bottom with your competition read more

Was my favorite restaurant until I find out today that they no longer have the mexi rolls! My friend comes over from Tennessee & we always go here especially for the mexi rolls! This is one of our favorite menu items so now what?? Please bring them back!!! read more

This Taco John's has never disappointed me. They make their food appropriately, according to Taco John's "mission statement" on the side of their bag. Large portions that Taco Bell could never compete with. Taco John's tacos are the best fast food tacos you can get. read more

Much better than Taco Hell. Meat was not greasy. Seasoning and sauces were good for a quick stop. Tots were good and all was fresh and hot. i never eat these kinds of places when in town but it wouldn't hurt my feelings if they replaced all the Taco Hells in town. read more

I've been eating here since the 80's when it first opened. Since then I usually ate here at least once a week. Now, since the ownership has changed I've noticed that you don't get near the amount of meat and cheese on the tacos. Also , the amount of potato ole's you receive is significantly less. Since the change of ownership the wait time in the drive thru is much longer or you have to pull forward to wait on your order. I've been the past two weekends and the orders were incorrect. Ordered a chips and queso toght with my order , there were literally 12 chips in my " air bag". I've always loved their food , but think I'm about done. read more

When I go here its usually for Taco Tuesday. Tacos have always been good and potato oles usually hot. Last Tues I decided to give the Fish Tacos a try. They really should get rid of it, a small fish stick on a taco is a joke. C'mon man! read more

I really love the potato oles and guacamole. Churro are also excellent. My order is always accurate and arrives fresh. Since it is not in the part of Marion that I normally visit, I forget that Taco Johns is an option. However, it is much better than Taco Bell, and I prefer it when I actually remember it's out there read more

New owners. They took the House sauce off the bar and now charge .75 cents for a tiny sauce cup. That is a common sauce people use for the potatoes and nachos. At that rate it would ad up quick. I think it is rude and just some money hungry corporates now own. I will not eat there again, miss the prior owners. read more

It's not Taco bell but decent deals in the 6 pk and pound the salsa is pretty good the drive through is pretty fast hard to get out of

Great place to eat! The staff are always courteous, the place is very clean, and the food is served fast! Oh, and the food always tastes great! read more

I came to Illinois on a vacation from 10 hours away to visit my boyfriends family and had never heard of Taco Johns before. My boyfriend kept saying "oh you'll forget Taco Bell soon, this food is so good". Anddddd for once he was right. It was the BEST fast food I had ever ate. Really.. What even is Taco Bell anymore? Their potato olés are seriously amazing. And their chicken tacos... Don't get me started. They have this new burrito out with flamin hot Cheetos and I have not yet gotten to try it but I love the whole concept of it. Next time I'm there it will be in my hands. Now that I am back home, the closest Taco Johns is about 4 hours away from me and I am seriously considering making a trip a month to go get some. They need to make more near me, I guarantee they'd have a lot of business. read more

Always very nice people working! Always fresh no matter if you have to wait you go home with hot food or your served hot food! It is always clean inside and out! If you end up having to wait longer than normal they give you free taco coins. I can not express how much I love eating at this taco johns! They are so friendly fast and most of all clean!!! read more

So frustrating...Last 2 times we have went through the drive thru the man working cuts us off saying "is that all" after every item we say. Doesn't let us say our entire order like he is in to big of a hurry. We have even tried to talk to him at the window...window was actually closed on us as we were speaking. We have just gave up and not ordered everything. read more
