I cannot understand why Taco John's is not the dominant quick service Mexican food!! When comparing to taco bell Taco John's wipes the floor with them. While the food options are not as broad the food is delicious and more substantive. Since we have moved close and tried them out, I have to say, my family has not returned to any other version of quick service Mexican food since. Great job! read more

I love supporting local restaurants. Drive by Taco John's many times a day. Decided to give them a shot. reviews given must be by people who haven't had good Mexican food. For the $10 I spent I could've got twice as much food at the same quality at Taco Bell. Sorry, I ordered two tacos with a side of rice and beans and a small drink. I got one crunchy taco. I could've made it at home and the rice and beans container wasn't even half full.... read more

Terrible service! I waited over 30 minutes for 3 burritos and some oles. When we got the food it tastes like it had been sitting out all day. The doors were locked and we've tried to call them but it just rings. 10/10 I will not be going back to that place again. read more

Still the best in Spokane!!! I used to go there as a kid and even worked at the valley location in the early 90's. Great customer service too. read more

Taco John's - Mexican Near Me - Spokane, Washington

Im a long-time customer. I am thankful for the patience the staff has for customers who don't understand the menu.

Will never go there again! They gave me a crispy Taco with a teaspoon of steamed chicken when I asked for a soft taco with crispy Chicken it was so gross $2.79 + tax. The boss ball was a joke teaspoon of lettuce I kid you not teaspoon of rice sprinkled with some black beans and they charged me $8.49 + tax. What the hell has happened to Taco John's they used to be a good place not anymore and I will tell everyone everyone about their food. The only thing was the cashier was nice I did not see the food until I got home it was very upset. read more

I was in town and decided to try Taco John's. It was terrible. It was like a subpar Taco Bell, which is crazy. I was hungry so I would've eaten it anyway, but each item was luke warm, at best. After trying each thing, I threw it all away. Never again. read more

Customer service was amazing but the food was not I wanted to see if it was good we bought about $45 dollars worth of food and we all decided we would not try it again. read more

Friendly & excellent service, spotlessly clean, great, fresh food, salsa made fresh daily.

Took the family through the Taco John's very long drive-thru queue and...it's exactly what you'd expect from a place called Taco John's. OK, maybe not exactly. The "super hot" sauce did not come in a ketchup packet like the hot and mild. It was a green salsa, jalapeno I think, with some real heat in a tiny lidded plastic container. They're trying. But by and large it's uninspired American food "inspired" by Mexican dishes. Baby mama and I both got combo 8, a beef and potato burrito and a beef soft taco. Our six-year-old got chicken strips and tater tots, actually "Potato Oles," which are like tater tots but shorter and rounder, closer to a disc. Our burritos had them in it. I guess, overall, I'd compare it to Taco Bell without any of the batshit crazy stuff that makes Taco Bell fun to make fun of, or Taco Time without any of the nicer things (corn salsa, pepitas, etc.) that make it worth eating at. They're based in Wyoming, for God's sake. I don't know what I expected. The worker-shortage era drive thru was a long wait, as expected. The staff were very nice and friendly. If I ever have a hankering for tater tots _in_ a burrito, I might be back. read more

Employee who took our order was so nice and answered all questions. The food never disappoints!

Love their food! The breakfast burritos are yummy and you can't go wrong with their seasoned potato bites and nacho cheese!!

Attempted to use the free taco coupon today. It's one per order apparently, not per customer. Brought 3 people in and we were allowed 1 Taco to share. LMAO Really petty if you ask me read more

beef taco taste like my shoe and the bigger lady taking my order ruined what i wanted highly disappointed what's coming for you taco john is unspeakable. read more

Delicious. Potato ole is the best taters in town. Haven't been since I moved away years ago. Now I'm back and the food was just as great. Only thing that kept it from getting 5 stars is the crunchy chicken on the kids menu. It was spicy, I admit my daughter is probably pickier than most but it was too spicy for a kids item. Don't think there is anything else she'll eat so doesn't look like we will be going very often. read more

Hmmmm? I can't quite figure out what these guys are going for. I ordered beef and chicken street tacos with sides of refried beans, chips, tater tots, queso, and salsa. Where do I start? My kids couldn't even finish the beef tacos which is saying a lot because they love tacos in general... they said they had a strange flavor ‍ oh and, I ordered Street tacos and they came on flour tortillas ( to me this is a huge no-no) The beans were too thick to even swallow and very very dry, the queso was mixed with 3/4 beans and 1/4 cheese- wait what? The chicken tacos were all right but again, they were on flour tortillas. The salsa tasted like it was mostly made with applesauce? Pretty weird... The only thing to really rave about were the tater tots. They were very very good... But why come to a Mexican restaurant to order tater tot's? The guacamole was off the chain but I made it myself when I got home from picking up my order lol! I did order a churro, and it was actually really good so if you come to this taco John's just stick to fried items and you should be happy. I don't think I'll be going back. read more

Taco John's - Tater tots beans and what was supposed to be queso but was really just more beans - Mexican Near Me - Spokane, Washington

Taco John's on the corner of Wellesley and Nevada has been in Spokane for years and years. Sadly, it is now the only TJ's in the area, which is a shame. Whenever I'm in this part of town, I have to stop in and get some Tex-Mex goodness. The problem, honestly, is figuring what to get; everything there is really tasty, but you can't go wrong with a Taco Bravo, Meat and Potato burrito, or Potato Oles. Seriously though, everything here is really good. read more

This is the best Taco John's I have ever been to. It's very clean and the employees are kind and courteous. I stop here exclusively when I pass through Spokane. Thank you for being awesome! read more

The best fast-food Mexican in town. Nice, clean little restaurant, well worth going out of your way for! I wish there were more of these in town, I would definitely be a regular. read more

Taco John's - Mexican Near Me - Spokane, Washington

Better than the (Bell or Time) If you have a craving for texmex this is the place. Its most always clean (if you see stupid patrons making a mess, let them know it isn't their home and to pick it up) the staff works hard to keep this place clean; I have witnessed it on many occasions. IF you have never stopped in, I suggest you give it a try. read more

The two guys that work Friday mornings are amazing, not only is the food always great but they are both very friendly!

Om nom nom! Oh my gosh these fast food tacos were delish! My cousin's friend insisted we get Taco John's before they dropped me off at the airport and I was game. They both said it is better than Taco Bell. We went through the drive-thru and I ordered the two tacos combo. To my surprise my combo came with a cup of tasty little tater-tots! The tacos were good too, although maybe they had a bit too much lettuce in them for my tastes. The cheese was melted into the meat so that was an awesome surprise. Also we got churros! I was so excited because you can never find churros anywhere except when you're at a fair or something. For the three of us our total came to a little over 20 bucks. Not bad in my opinion. Seriously, it's just straight up Americanized Mexican Fast Food - but they do it right and I like it! read more

Hadn't had Taco Johns since I was a kid and they had 2 locations in my hometown (they both closed up and left town) but a recent road trip had a location and dropped by for a bite. WOW, have I missed the flavors! The potato oles are amazing (couldn't get enough of them and I even had the large size) and the tacos were even better than I remember. Polite, attentive, and courteous employees (even late night, thanks guys!) made the trip there that much better. Still sad there's no Taco Johns in our area but thanks for the trip down memory lane and next time we're in the area they definitely have our return patronage read more

I'm giving it four stars for nostalgia... I think this is the last taco John's in all of Spokane and surrounding area. Brings back a lot of memories from my childhood growing up in Spokane. The food is average... It's not great for Mexican food. But the potato ole's and some of the other menu items are really great to have. But the potato ole's are seasoned differently now... Actually too much seasoning. Over salted and probably some MSG. They really don't need to add seasoning to them. It's updated and modern... In tears good. The tacos and burritos or how I remember them. It would be nice if they would have some healthier options... Maybe follow some of the food concepts that Rubio's fresh Mexican Grill has read more

Taco Johns...need I write more. This is a chain, with nothing more to offer than cheap, greasy, Americanized Mexican fast food. If you are craving the TJ's, this is it. ENJOY your six pack and a pound people. read more

Taco John's - Always a favorite, even "to go" 225 miles away. - Mexican Near Me - Spokane, Washington

Better than Taco Time or Taco Bell for absolutely sure. If you have a craving for Americanized Mexican this is the place to go to. Everything is moderately priced (it's more expensive than national chains but not OUCH expensive) and tasty. Hot food is hot and cold food is cold. They have lots of options for sauces and salsa and varying degrees of spice. The meat is actual meat as you can see the meat fibers so it does not appear to be processed fast-foody meat. The potato ole's are really nice and seasoned with (I believe) seasoned-salt. They are a great compliment to any meal and are wonderful when dipped in their hot sauce. They also have hot, crispy, sweet and fluffy churros, something which Taco Time/Bell does not seem to have year-round. Good food, good service and great memories considering how old this establishment is. read more

After living in Spokane for 10 years, in hillyard for 1 year, my friend finally got me to taco Johns, the food and sauces are so freaking good! Crunchy tacos are amazing, the tater tot discs are wonderful, and for the price you get a crap ton of food. I'll be coming here instead of taco time or Taco Bell. read more

If you want to die of hunger in there drive thru go ahead. There drive thru times are worse then dine in sit down

I go to this place more often than I care to admit. But the service is good and the tacos are good. One of the guys who works there even took the time to writ down on paper all the daily specials for me. I think these people are starting to know me by name. So what I'm saying is that i find no fault in Taco Johns. Unless you don't like orange. There's a lot of orange in there. But I like orange. read more

More fast food than which it what made me stop here, NOT Mexican food. Had lackadaisical manager holding conversation rather than my order for what seemed like minutes. Food came quick but the quality was both good on the ground beef and BAD, like dreadfully over cooked refried beans. Kept getting sprayed with clean by the young lady who didn't know better had to ask her to leave me alone. Sad face, going to try again on $0.80 hard shell taco day. read more

I can't see why this place gets the generally positive reviews it does. I drive by all the time so I thought I'd roll through the drivethru when I was in the neighborhood recently. I ordered a breakfast burrito and 3 chicken street tacos. The tacos were pretty horrible - cold, soggy, and really bland. The breakfast burrito was a bit better, but only in that it wasn't soggy and cold; it was still really quite tasteless, boring, and small. The hot sauce in a packet was basically mildly spicy ketchup. My order was about $9.50 for just these items, and I felt pretty dang ripped off. Afterwards, I wished I wouldn't have been so adventurous and just went to Atilano's or Gerardo's for my Mexican fix. I will be avoiding this place from now on. read more

My family and I have been coming to this restaurant for years now. There is a wide variety of awesome foods to choose from. So if you don't like burritos then you might like the buffalo wings. Service is always great especially for a fast food place. They always have such great portions too they definitely don't short you. Overall best American Mexican fast food in Spokane. read more

Regional chain fast-food Americanized Tex-Max, but so good! Generous portions, free soft-drink refills, and a very nice dining room. Quick cheerful service. Clean rest rooms. Wish there were more Taco John's around! read more

Such an addict for this place. There was one in C'oeur d'Alene and it closed, as did the one in Kellogg. If I need a fix, it's either here or all the way home to Montana. Softshells, taco bravo, potato oles....all good stuff. read more
