Taco Star - Fast Food Near Me - Thornton, Colorado

The food at taco star is not good Mexican food even by drive thru standards ... If you're looking for drive thru Mexican I suggest Santiagos express... Only thing appealing about Taco star is that it's open 24 hrs so after a night of drinking ( alot ) this place would maybe hit the spot... The carne asada was very grisly and salty... The tomatoes were not fresh ... I understand that drive thru food is usually not the best... But for the price I expect more... Overall I would grade taco star as a D+ read more

Ate at the Commerce City Taco Star today--our first visit. And our Last!! The employee behind the counter greeted us and asked what we wanted. The menu is large with small print. When we would ask a question, the employee would point to the menu as she answered. We asked if they had chips and cheese and she said "No" and then pointed at the menu again. There was a Definite lack of caring or friendliness. We finally decided. I had the grilled chicken taco (soft shell) and my husband had a beef hard shell taco. We also ordered a chicken quesadilla. The food was AWFUL! The tortilla on both my taco and the quesadilla was rubbery and greasy. The filling was alright--we ate it and left the tortilla shell. The music was all in Spanish, the employees all spoke Spanish and only seemed to talk to or smile at other Hispanics. We didn't feel welcome and the food wasn't good enough to ignore that. So we will stick with Taco Bell where they are friendly and helpful and the food is WAY better -- and cheaper! read more

I'm hooked on their grilled chicken soft tacos and I don't care who knows it! Just a little pull up/drive thru spot, but great salsa and homemade tortillas. Doth anything good come from Thornton, you ask? Yes..taco star. I'll return. read more

Worst Mexican food experience ever. Guacamole had a bad sour cream taste to it. Would never eat again!

Carne asada burrito is where it's at!! Omg SOOO good! It was jam packed with flavorful tender meat. There's no filler, and no fatty meat like other places, just well seasoned tender meat, pico, and guac. The burrito is huge and worth the money, took me 3 sittings to finish every last delicious bite! read more

I use to love this place after sunday night i do not i ask the man if they sold chili cheese fries he said yes and i get home its fries smotherd in green salsa i am very sick now because ov it read more

Sucks I had to cross the street to Taco Bell because the line here is constantly f'ed up and they can't get their drive thru strait! Sucks to suck! If you can, run a few blocks up to Chubby's, where their line is long for a reason.... read more

I used to work around the area few years back. I came back last nite looking for what I remembered about Taco Star. Huge tacos, delicious meats and reduced prices. To my surprise they are keeping their promise and consistency in all this factors plus they are open 24 hours. Isn't that amazing? I wish they have locations throughout the Denver area so I don't need t drive 25 mins for this crave. My tacos were delicious, served on a double corn tortilla since the amount of meat is overflowing. You get plenty of salsas to complete your experience and the horchata water is unique. Five stars for you guys. read more

The carne asada fries are the best havent tried nothing else on the menu yet pretty sure i will but fries are a must have here

Great egg & chorizo burritos. Good authentic Mexican food. Must have their great steak nachos.

I have been on the hunt for taquitos since relocating from San Diego. After getting a tip about this hole in the wall drive thru, I gave it a shot and was very very excited to find exactly what my southern California heart had been craving. Great place for a late night craving! read more

They got my order wrong and didn't even give me the full refund. Food was average, just like any other tacos place. The quality if the meat wasn't great. Service was poor. read more

This food is fantastic!! I had never eaten here before and I do not regret eating here one bit! I ordered the fish burrito and added potatoes to it and man it was the best burrito I have had in a long time! Their tortillas are fresh and their green salsa is wonderful! I will definitely be eating here again! Just pre-warning its not a sit down restaurant but it does how tables you can sit at outside and they have a drive-thru. I strongly recommend this place! read more

Good and cheap. Reminds me of some of my favorite hole-in-the-wall places in Phoenix. Not the best Mexican food you've ever had but its damn good and damn affordable. read more

The fact that they're open 24 hours in this town gets a default star or two. Still, the food is great, portions are nice, price is right, selection is good, and I'm definitely a regular. I prefer this location to the one on 60th as well. I wouldn't quite call it "authentic," but it smokes the Chubby's right here on Washington, and the only other option is Taco Bell, so... Yep. Its a go! read more

This is the best fast messican food that you'll see this side of juarez. Tasty, large portions, not cheap, but not crazy either. Treat your taste buds to a treat and stop in and see what fast, not t.b mexican food is all about. 24/7. read more

I've been getting the breakfast burritos at Taco Star for years but today I was feeling adventurous and tried the Lingua Tacos, omg, so good! read more

Fucken delicious the best food in the world oh my god they are fast and cheap got the super nachos so much meat and so good also tortas and the carne Asada fries!! My goodness!!! Bomb as fuck!! read more

Fast and convenient spot. Though I was a little let down, I got chicken and beef taco, both meats were bland, and beef was very oily (dripping). The rice and beans were on point. Not a spot I'll take the family but I might end here again in a pinch (24 drive thru) read more

Horrible food! Horrible food! Horrible food! Horrible food! Don't waste your time or money. The food was horrible!

I got a really delicious burrito here. Yum. The line was way too long for the quality of food, however. Also I got chips and guac and they were disgusting. read more

I give them 3 stars because no matter time of day or night one car or seven cars they take forever. Their food is amazing and they lose so much Business because knowone wants to wait in their lines for 30 minutes for fast food. Every time we go we sit in line 20 to 30 minutes. Now we see a line when we want to go there we leave and we go to taco bell next door. Their employees are not very nice they are rude. Truly sad. Would of given 5 stars but ratings are based on all around business not just the food. It seems like they need more help or somthing. Its not fare when you've been waiting in drive through for 20 minutes and see a bunch of people park and go to their window and get served before everyone that's been waiting in drive through. If you can't get the food through drive through the same time as the window you need to shut down the window or get more staff to make both drive through and window moving at the same pace. read more

Best carne asada fries around. We make sure to hit this place up everytime we come to town. We usually order a side of flautas as well. Make sure you're not in a hurry though because it takes FOREVER in the drive thru. read more

Avoid this place like the plague. I ordered from here off the Uber Eats APP and just received my "food" and it is completely inedible. The "guacamole" is some kind of sauce, the "carne asada" is dried out and bland (but my Shih Tzu likes it), and the churros had nothing on them (supposed to come dusted with cinnamon and sugar). I called to speak with the manager but he was not in and the young lady who can't chew bubble gum and walk kept putting me on hold when I was voicing my displeasure at spending $23 on a meal I can't eat. She never came back to the phone but another employee took the message for the manager and said he'd have him call me. I gave them the star because I had to and the one plus is that they made my tacos like I asked: carne asada, onions, and cilantro ONLY, on corn tortillas. If the steak was not dried out and grey, I'm sure they would have been delicious. The Minute Maid lemonade is good though. read more

See all

Though it's far from the best taco joint in Denver, it is my favorite in the area. My personal favorite it the lengua tacos (seriously, try them). I grab breakfast burritos fairly often- machaca is good, though it can be greasy, choizo is good but greasy, and my fav it bean, egg, and cheese. The only thing that I really didn't like was the fish tacos... there were some weird flavors going on- not rotten, just not good. read more

Very good (and cheap) Mexican food drive through. Saw good reviews on here and decided to check it out. We go here often. Food is very tasty but definitely on the greasy side. Everything is covered in a layer of oil, it seems. read more

The worst wanta be Ralibertos I've had. The green chile taste like lime paste, the steak was at least a week old the guacamole was Brown on my rolled taco's nasty and even my Dr. Pepper had grease taste in it. Boooo Taco Star will not return =-O read more

Best tacos! Period. Always open, the food is awesome and plentiful. You cannot beat this spot. Check it out, you will not be disappointed.

I will never eat here again!! I tried to order my food 3 times!! The employees could not understand anything I was saying, I had to have my friend order for me in Spanish, and they still gave me the wrong order. I thing got home to fine a fly in my extra cup of cheese! I used to love going here and now I will never go back! I can't believe how rude they were! I would give 0 stars if I could ! read more

I love coming here when I get the late night munchies or drunkies lol. That Colorado burrito is awesome and cheap, like the carne asada fries too. read more

The Carne Asada Fries are absolutely amazinggggggggggggggg! I drive 25 minutes out of the way to get them. And they give you a biiiig portion of them as well. Cannot eat them in 1 sitting. read more

Food is good, ate here often!! except the last two visits food had a hair in it not planning to go back and it upsets me because i like their fish tacos but grossed out with the hairs read more

I have been so Excited to try this place after moving to the area recently. Well .... it was quite the disappointment. I ordered the fish tacos combo and it was horrid. The "fish" was chewy and hard and there was so much sauce you couldn't taste anything. The rice was also very dry and tasteless. Good thing one my children just eats a side of steak so I was able to scrape it out and put some "ok" meat in it. The green sauce was almost sweet not what I was expecting. My children wouldnt even eat their food stating it tasted funny. After spending nearly $40 on a taco combo, smothered burrito, and nachos it was very well not worth the money. The only good part of the Experience was the Horchata, my 1st time ever trying it and it was Delicious. 2 stars for the Horchata. read more

The cashier was kinda rude taking our form of payment. But over all a great place to eat.

I got the carne asada fries, the meat was a lil bland but the cashier was nice and the salsas made up for it,

Great place! Love the carne asada fries! They are the best! Always friendly and super fast service.

I went to taco star in commerce city and went to the drive through. ordered 2 beef tacos,and 2 tostados with beef sat at the window for about 10 minutes waiting then when we got it home the order was all wrong HOW DO YOU MESS UP A ORDER LIKE THAT??? REALLY...PLUS I PAID $14.99 FOR IT . There was no meat even on the tostados and the tacos had the wrong meat on it.Then when i tried to call no one would answer the flippen phone. then I tried calling the restaurant in thorton and no one answered there either..so I guess I'll go back tomorrow and speak with the manager... read more

The BEST Mexican food stand I've been to in Colorado! I know it's a chain but it's absolutely delicious! Being from San Diego I really craved Carne Asada burritos. The taste of the Carne Asada burritos I get here make me feel a little closer to home. The Super Nachos bring me back to high school days with my brother. If you want that delicious taste and you don't mind waiting a few minutes for quality food to be made you should def stop by! read more

I ordered a "steak" burrito and tacos from here through UberEats. The food that arrived was some of the nastiest Mexican food I've ever tasted. Really terrible quality meat (rubbery, fatty, not even real steak, dried up and overcooked chicken, cheap, old-tasting taco shells). Fake guacamole crap on the burrito, no flavors except excess heat. To top it off, it made me physically sick with stomach problems the next day. I'd even take Taco Bell over this crap... Waste of time and money. read more
