    I'm making potato ole stackers
    Dianalynn R.

    My friend recommended Taco John's to us, and I like trying new places. I liked the food here, the potatoes Ole are delicious coin shaped potato tots. I stacked mine with jalapeno slices. I made potato Ole stackers. LOL Roman was super helpful, offering us ideas and help for our very first visit. He was attentive, and really pleasant. He brought out my coffee a bit later, it was nice and hot. The restaurant was spotless. And there were only a few of us in there eating. I watched as they checked the food temperature, and cleaned up the prepping areas. And they were writing down a lot of information. It felt like they were on top of quality. I was very pleased with my visit.

    Cold ice tea
    Robin A.

    My favorite are the potato oles. I like the fry sauce (extra .60 each) for dipping, but my friends/family like the cheese sauce. With a large cup of sugar-free ice tea- and I'm set! Last 3Xs I've had cold (not even Luke warm) potatoes and I also ordered the chicken burrito (with the potatoes inside). I literally throw a potato in my mouth even before I drive away from Taco Johns. But even with seconds after I'm served, the food's still cold. What a shame.

    Here is Taco John's in Twin Falls. Located in the same parking lot as Walmart.

    If you're looking to get away from Taco Bell, come here. The restaurant is new (as of 2016) and the food is really, really good. Reminds me of Del Taco. The meat and potato burrito is very, very good. Their "ole's" (pronounced "Oh-Lay") are tater tots in the shape of a disc. But, these "tater tots" are salted, then cooked perfectly. OUTSTANDING! TJ's is a bit pricey. Four bucks for one meat and potato burrito. Which is bigger than a Taco Bell bean/.cheese burrito, but smaller than a Del Taco Macho Burrito. But, if paying two more dollars for a meal at TJ's to get away from Taco Bell food and the Taco Bell crowd is all I have to pay, then so be it. Bring on Taco John's. Since they've opened I've had TJ's many times. For me, it's comfort food. Reminds me of fast, unhealthy, fantastic tasting food of my youth. The five stars I gave TJ's is no mistake. I would go there multiple times a week if I could.

    See fork for size. Find a tablespoon of guacamole or tomato, 3 olive circles. Super

    This is my second, and final, visit. Tacos first time, "super nachos" this time. Both tasted like a white boy went to the neighboring store and grabbed packaged stuff off the shelf. Bland, tired food costing more than it's worth. Worse, signs warning shellfish is prepared "in the same areas." What? Why? And oh no, that's why I went with nachos.

    They would'nt honor the limit 3. They gave me the coupon deal on only one burrito, they crossed out 3 & wrote 2. They thought I'd come back.

    What is up with all the negative reviews? Easily the best fast food Mexican chain. What I would give to have one back in Boise.

    Everytime I come here it's an extremely long wait time. I've literally been the only one in line. Ordered 2 items and waited 7 minutes.

    No bueno. They don't live up to the TJ standards. Was disappointed with the quality of execution. Maybe it was an off day.

    So as a local I absolutely love their food the flavor is alway on point. But…read more.... We came in and ordered the fajitas and I gotta tell you, don't, just don't. Theirs so many better options out there. Let me expound, they give 4 tortillas less than a spoon full of guacamole maybe a spoon full of sour cream and ZERO cheese. Our waitress was rude and completely messed up our drinks cause she wasn't even listening. I'm like ok no problem will just take them at 15.00 a drink. If you want WAY better service and food all the way around go to Janitizios. They have fajitas where the extra mile to drive is well worth it . We've been there so many times but because of the time they were closed. This is now a second time fail on el Caporal. Last time it was the lack of communication on their seafood. I've gotta say as a local I'm probably not gonna return to this establishment. Obviously the owners do not pay attention to where the mistakes need to be addressed. With so many options available in twin I'd say avoid this place and seek way better options. Sad to see a restaurant capable of doing better and actually offering the amount proportionate to the plate completely fail on every level. But also seeing other restaurants have the ability to fullfill that at a way better price refreshing. Janitizios for the win!!!

    This place deserves your attention. Superb service, amazing salsa, chips & bean dip. The best…read moresavory fish tacos I've ever had, so tender & citrusy. Did I mention the Cucumber Margarita??

Mom and I shared the lunch fajitas with chicken. The food was absolutely delicious. Even the chips and beans and salsa were really good. The regular house blended margarita had an excellent flavor. Not like some we've had an other Mexican restaurants. The restaurant was very clean and had a great atmosphere. Loved the music too. We all agreed that the food was the best Mexican food that we've had in Twin Falls. Our server was wonderful and personable. We give Mi Tierra 5 + stars

    So to set the mood for you, me and my fiancée walked in to "Mi Tierra" at 11:20ish. Right before…read morethe lunch rush. It was just us in the establishment along with the waitress. We were seated and the first thing we noticed were the booths. They were definitely dated (which we don't really care about but just to clarify) and they had tears from being sat in so much that it was unusually noticeable. The waitress was of average service. She brought us chips, salsa and refried beans that were slightly burnt so the taste was off just a tad. She let us have some time to peruse the menu and another thing we noticed almost immediately was the pricing. For being in Twin Falls, Idaho these prices were more akin to Seattle. Pretty pricey for a Mexican-American restaurant. This is your standard "authentic" Mexican food restaurant that you can find in almost all towns across the United States. Now to be fair when the food did arrive (which was in a timely manner) it was very large portions so that may have had something to do with the prices. My personal opinion was it was pretty standard tasting for what I ordered but it definitely "hit the spot". My fiancée was very impressed with her burrito (The Famoso). She said it tasted really good! She did order a side of sour cream that was $3 and she barely used it (my own complaint haha). All in all, this is your average Mexican-American restaurant. There is not really anything that separates this establishment from any others in the area. If you're looking for a nice, sit down spot for lunch and want what you're used to finding, when it comes to Mexican food, this is your place!
