    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.

    remember when i have this place 5? that was wrong. the food was terrible. they got the order wrong. i smashed it out of anger.

    As for a soft crispy chicken taco and I get this with a teaspoon of gross Chicken in it charging me $2.79 + tax

    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.

    Tater tots beans and what was supposed to be queso but was really just more beans

    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.

    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.

How wrong I was!!! We found this place on Yelp and it looked like a winner...4.7stars and right next to our hotel. We dined on a Saturday night and the place was packed...we got the last open table. I really loved the decorations inside- colorful, festive, and some really neat Dia De Los Muertos styled paintings. Our server was great and went through the menu...lots of selections. I wasn't super hungry so I got 3 street tacos (1 al pastor, 1 carnitas and 1 tinga). My son got an al pastor quesadilla and my wife got pollo tacos. The chips and salsa were good and held us over until the food came. When the food came they also brought out 3 more salsas in squeeze bottles and all of these were great too. All 3 of my street were very flavorful and all incredibly tender. Sometimes chicken and carnitas can be pretty bland but not here...these were exactly what I was looking for. My family loved their food as well and we left wishing we had a Los Habaneros Taqueria back in AZ! When I was paying for our meal at the cashier several people were picking up to go meals and heard we were from AZ visiting and both parties said we found the best spot in Spokane for Mexican food. I don't doubt them for a minute...this was dynamite.

The corn tortillas were especially amazing and really made the tacos. My friend is gluten free so it was perfect. The staff was friendly and welcoming.

I'll definitely be back!

I got the fried chicken taco wjth a hazelnut matcha butter and Gorgonzola. Which was very yummy, then I got the pork belly with an asparagus salsa. Lastly I got two of the birria tacos. Overall the two street tacos were very good, perhaps both an 8/10 but the birria tacos were a little disappointing because their dipping sauce was basically flavorless. And the whole thing desperately needed salt. I ended up ditching the sauce and just using a bottled green sauce which was very yummy. Both my coworkers who also got the birria agreed it was not very good. They stuffed the tacos full of beef tho. The service was a little funky, we came in a big group and she insisted on taking all of our order at the same time and then had us pay separately after we all ordered, that required quite a bit of shuffling around among us 7, a bit confusing. Also, I ordered a soft drink and the bartender handed me a cup that was not full. Very strange. So I asked him to top it off, and his response was "sure, but just so you know, you get free refills" like okay? So because I get free refills you don't fill the cup up? Little strange, my coworker who witnessed it also thought it was weird. Overall it was a good experience and I would definitely come back. Food 4/5 Service 4/5 Atmosphere 5/5

The birria is delicious and the most authentic I have had so far in any restaurant in the states. The staff is amazing. There is plenty of seating so even if it looks busy, there are still tables available. The staff is constantly walking around cleaning off tables, asking you if you need anything in a friendly, respectful way. Not in a way that would make you feel uncomfortable or rushed. I can't wait to go back!

The food was amazing, the people were great, and I was excited to come back. Yesterday, my girlfriend and I planned a date night and decided to order from here again. Since we have kids, we did pickup. We drove about 25 minutes, then waited another 25 minutes because the line was packed which I didn't mind because the food was that good the first time. But this time? Completely different experience. I ordered a bean burrito with cheese... and it had no beans. Just rice and cheese in a tortilla. Then the nachos, honestly, for $27, this was unacceptable. Dry chips, unmelted cheese, some tomatoes thrown on top, no meat, no beans just thrown together with no care. It looked and tasted like an afterthought. What made it worse is the lack of accountability. I tried calling multiple times last night and again this morning no answer. Calls just ring or don't go through. I even tried calling from different numbers. Nothing. At this point, it's not even about the money it's the principle. Mistakes happen, but not being able to reach anyone or have them make it right is frustrating. I really wanted to keep supporting this place because the first experience was great, but this completely missed the mark. If you go, just be aware the quality and consistency might not be what you expect.
