My absolute favorite taco joint. You can't beat the beef enchilada platter with extra sauce! Service is always fantastic and prices are great! read more

Food is as it always has been. No frills just good quickie Mexican tacos etc. Not gourmet but neither are the prices.

The food is lackluster, bland. The atmosphere is so dated that I felt like I was in the movie "Napoleon Dynamite." After the manager made his big post about asking the community to spot him for the down payment to buy the place, I lost all interest in ever going back. read more

Really enjoyed my meal here. The tacos were packed with flavor and the tortillas tasted homemade. I added some of their spicy sauce and it made them even better. Service was quick and everyone was super nice. Would absolutely recommend this spot for a casual lunch. read more

This is what is on the inside of a Taco Tico beef taco. There can't be a heaping teaspoon of meat. I read online that they are risking losing their lease on a the building as it is up for sale. Try better on your servings. read more

The food has always been solid and delicious! The employees are absolutely fantastic! Love them! Since I was a child, the ambiance was always warming, welcoming, and as comforting as I remembered. My grandparents would often bring me and my sister here when I would visit them! Such wonderful memories that I am now sharing with my children! Huge thanks! My son loves it!! read more

Totally old school taco joint. As much as I'm in Claremore, I've never been. The drive thru is a bit convoluted but is still accessible. I can only speak to the drive thru service. It was fast and friendly. I ordered a burrito which was cheap but loaded with beans and cheese. I loved it. I do want to dine in and try some tacos soon. Don't be scared b/c it looks old. Live a little! read more

We drove from Springfield, mo and we disappointed with website false business advertising hrs for Sundays 11-7. We got to Taco place 5:40 and place shows Sunday 11-5. Not happy with ya. Try to support ya from Missouri, but got let down . Maybe this is why others shut down read more

The food is the great! Gotta try the sancho! The folks running the place are super friendly too. My favorite spot in claremore for sure!

I love this place. As far as fast food "mexican" goes it probably my favorite. Nothing outstanding just always consistently good. Been eating here for 30 plus years. read more

I ate here today, first time in a long time. ate a taco burger, taco and chips, I thought I would get queso with the chips no did not. it was good but very dry. then 6 1/2 hours later FOOD POISONING. my stomach went to hurting and felt very flushed and threw everything up. I didn't eat anything else before or after that place. don't think I will be going back. read more

Ok so I grew up eating at Taco Tico until they closed ours down. I was doing some yelping and found this Taco Tico about 1 hr away. I couldn't wait to get back to my childhood times. This place brought back some great memories from the menu board down to the food. The only thing different was the coke machine. It's fast food I understand but it's great fast food for great Mexican food. The Tacos are just greasy enough to make ya want more. Love having the beans n cheese dip it's better than what ya get from Fritos lay stuff. It was great eating here again. I will be back for more goodness. Of course I brought back 40 bucks worth of burritos n there beef enchiladas are to die for. read more

Okay - I grew up in Rogers, Arkansas where we had a Taco Tico - it was the place. Fond memories and nostalgia blend with really good fast service food. I don't get out here often, but this may have been my 3rd visit over several years. My go to are the beef enchiladas and cinnamon sugar crustos. In my youth, standard orders were usually a taco burger, sancho, and the beef enchiladas. Their menu looks the same as it did 30 years ago. Their classics have just enough unique taste and differences than your other fast service options. Cinnamon sugar crustos are always a nice finish - or even the elusive choco taco ice cream treat! The restaurant is clean, has some nostalgic Route 66 memorabilia and themed decor. They have one of those fancy movie theater beverage dispensers. A salsa bar rounds out the detail to service. If you're in Claremore or grew up with Taco Tico - give this one a try as there are not many around us anymore. It will take you back to your memories and not disappoint. read more

See all

Every time we are in Claremore we try and go to taco tico! The place is clean and so much better than your average fast food taco shop! The prices are unbeatable and the staff is always friendly! The food is always good and I never have any complaints. Unfortunately the picture I have the rice was a little darker and didn't taste the best but everyone is allowed to have an off day and it won't keep me from going back. read more

Taco Tico - Sancho platter - Mexican Near Me - Claremore, Oklahoma

We drive a couple of hours from NW Arkansas a few times a year to satisfy our craving for the unique and nostalgic flavors from our childhood. We are never disappointed. Love the beef enchiladas and the green chili sauce. And of course the classic crunchy taco and taco burger are always favorites. Today's enchiladas could have used way more sauce but were still good. Service was excellent as always. Definitely worth the drive for one of the few remaining Taco Tico restaurants in the country. read more

Terrible food, if you eat here then you probably have horrible taste in food. I decided to give it a try and break my routine from my usual spots since I'm still trying to find some of the best food around. This place is a like a worse Taco Bell/ del taco. The food was bland, chicken taco was watery. The beef taco seemed liked it was a beef chili, which threw me off a lot. Couldn't finish the meal, don't recommend this place at all. Can't say anything about the service since they did their jobs, just really not impressed with the food. The environment was clean. read more

Why is this place even open? I can only think it's because it's been there for so long and maybe was good at one time, but they have loyal customers, who have long ago lost their taste buds. I don't get it. It's rot gut! read more

The best soft tacos, salsa and cinnamon chips!! Always consistent, friendly service. Please don't ever shut down!! read more

Taco Tico - Look at all of that cinnamon and sugar - Mexican Near Me - Claremore, Oklahoma

It's so unfortunate that this is the last taco tico open in this area! Because this has got to be the absolutely worse location! And it's all management! They make up crazy hours! I just went through the drive thru at 5:00 pm and they are closed!!! They don't think to put the sign on the drive thru! No you have to sit there awhile, because you already know they are the slowest drive thru around! Pull up to the window finally and see that they are closing at 5 so they can train employees! These people just don't want to be there! If it wasn't the only taco tico left, I'd have said I'm never coming back a long long time ago! Bad service and wild hours are nothing new to this place! Oh yes, they are rude too! read more

Was working in Claremore and wanted to try the taco burger. First of all, I sat in the drive-thru way longer than normal and I was the only car. Second, the prices definitely don't match the quality of the food. Third, the burger literally was the size of the palm of my hand (small!). I also order the tots. I asked for ketchup and sauce to go with it all. The lady handed me 1 small package of ketchup and a small side of sauce. I asked for more ketchup and the lady informed me that they went up in price therefore they usually only give one per customer. May seem petty but I would have paid for them if they offered. I remember these burgers being great as a kid...not so much anymore. Won't be going back. read more

An original, there is no place like this. I've been eating here for 30+ years and make it a must when I visit.

They said their grill wasn't working so no grilled item's which most of the menu should be cooked on the grill lol and watched them cook over half my meal in a microwave and serve everything on styrofoam plates while vacuuming with customers in the dining area read more

Terrible service not even that good food little toy things that's what gave it one star and the dining room is not even open half the time service is the worst would not recommend read more

A ate at this place in school almost everyday. it to me was a cheap greasy place to eat. I will still swing by and get a sancho when im in town. read more

Owner is EXTREMELY RUDE to not only his employees but customers as well which the mediocre food doesn't make up for. After waiting more than 40 minutes and watching 2 groups that came after get their food before us we asked for a refund and the owner went CRAZY yelling "do you want an application?" Literally in front of the entire restaurant people that had just walked in walked right back out...no wonder they can't keep any staff employed if he acts this way in front of customers imagine how he treats his staff when nobody is around. read more

They have the best tacos and Tex/Mex food around. We drive 80 miles from NW Ark just to eat there.

The food was so bad and the people working there were so rude. The food tasted awful and I swear I heard a microwave on in the back cause I'm the food tasted like shit. I ended up getting food poisoning...won't be back read more

Well it's not good!! I couldn't bring myself to rate lower than 3. The only thing that is Mexican is the use of taco in the name. The only thing with any taste was the hot sauce and the tea. Save your money. read more

Taco Tico was horrible. I got sick with GI symptoms 3 hours after eating there. Burrito filling tasted days old. Overpriced even with the "cash discount". Had to wait like 15 minutes for food in drive through...that was a bad sign of things to come. Do yourself a favor and stay away. In business since 1962?...hard to imagine....never again for me. read more

Ok, so I ordered the Double Enchilada Dinner, which comes with a taco. The taco was fine, though after consideration with my friends, we believe that the taco may have just been purchased from Taco Bell and resold, as it was literally identical. The hot sauce they offered is also identical to Taco Bell's mild sauce. On top of this, from the frequent microwave sounds coming from the kitchen, and the strangely familiar taste of the enchiladas, we believe that the enchiladas may have been lifted from a Lean Cuisine. The beef in the enchiladas was also completely different from the beef in the taco, so we know they definitely did not come from the same place. The beans were fine, cause you can't really mess that up. The rice was crusty, dry, and filled with unidentifiable vegetables, so I did not finish that. Overall, the worst Mexican food I have had the displeasure of putting in my body. Not to say it was terrible, as I haven't had much bad Mexican food, but definitely still the worst. Staff was nice, I don't blame them at all. The food was fairly cheap too, though it does not come with a drink. The atmosphere was fine too. Maybe the other food was better, but avoid the enchiladas. Just... go to Taco Bell. read more

As a teenager, my friends and I lived on Taco Tico 5/$1 tacos. 20+ years later, I travel 30 miles at least once a month to get my Tico fix. Only reason I didn't give five stars is the change in sauce. I've always been a fan of the Green Chile Sauce and the "new" sauce is just not the same. I recommend: tacos, sanchos, mexi platter, enchiladas and taco burgers. read more

Taco Tico - Mexican Near Me - Claremore, Oklahoma

Love the food, especially the tacos and taco burgers. The meat is great tasting - finely chopped and juicy (pretentious foodies call it greasy), still delicious nonetheless. Several varieties of sauces are available, all great tasting, with the best of the bunch being the "reaper sauce" which is made with the infamous carolina reaper pepper,,, tabasco sauce?,,, tastes like water compared to this. sauces are available for purchase in mason jars Speaking of mason jars, I wonder why no hipsters come here, perhaps they are too busy swimming in the taco bell & bueno mainstream in between monthly i-phone upgrades. They couldn't handle the reaper sauce anyway. read more

As others have mentioned, going out of my way to eat here was a lot about the nostalgia. I was hoping for a good experience. When we arrived, I was happy to be greeted by a friendly cashier. I ordered the double enchilada dinner and my husband ordered tacos. I liked that the tacos were filled to the very top with meat, lettuce, and cheese. I also loved that the enchilada dinner was served piping hot. The taste was also delicious just how I remembered. Their taco meat reminds me of Taco Mayo's. My husband, who had never been to a Taco Tico, loved it and said he wanted to come again. When dining in, the soda and hot sauce bar is self serve. It is rare that I would think a fast food restaurant deserves five stars, but the money spent and the 45 minute drive was worth it for those enchiladas. read more

Taco Tico - Double Enchilada Dinner - Mexican Near Me - Claremore, Oklahoma

Can't beat Taco Tico food anytime you can get it! We use to have one in our town and they closed.

Manger was very disrespectful and he was yelling at one of his employee no one should be treated that way the manger was cursing at the employee I know that the food is cheap but no one deserves to be treated my family later found the employee that got yelled at crying in the parking lot if there was a negative 1-10 ratting bar I would give this a -72 this place will not be getting my business any more nor my family's also we had to get up and leave and the manger was making fun of the kid I hope you will not give this place your business read more

I absolutely love this place! There are not many left and we try our best to come from Arkansas as often as we can to eat here!

The appeal is vastly linked to nostalgia. If you were not raised on Taco Tico the odds that you will give this cheap taco hut a 5 star rating is slim to none. Basically it's not that good but it is fantastic if you're in the mood for cheap greasy tacos and burritos. I'm a fan but even in this brilliant review, that I'm sure will drive you to at least take a chance and try this brilliantly understated taco heaven, doesn't get 5 stars but that is because I'm a sob about my 5 star ratings. If you're in Claremore skip Taco Bell and Bueno, you can get that anywhere and stop by Taco Tico you might fall in love with it too. read more

NOOOOO STARS WOULD BE THE APPROPRIATE RATING!!!Let me save you DO NOT GO HERE! It was soooooo bad!!!!! I'm still shocked this place has a single patron! The rice was so hard I thought I hurt my tooth! There is just so many negatives I can not list them all whoever put the good reviews must no owners and family! H read more
