My wife's favorite food is Mexican, mine is Italian, but, I just love food! Good food! We had lunch from Taco Tico today. Best darned lunch I've had ANYWHERE in a long time. A very long time!! Kudos, drive thru only and they rocked it!! read more

Love this Taco Tico never have any Issues with them. And have been coming here for years. But you should really fire whoever was working tonight bc for the first time ever my food was fucked with. made by a bunch of people who hate their job and you can tell they were pissed about making my food. My tacos and burritos literally looked like someone sat on them. If you keep them and I continue to get this type of shitty service I will stop coming to my favorite fast food place. Disappointed. read more

Love their taco salad and the regular tacos are awesome - we go there often - would highly recommend this restaurant

Havent been in years, but I grew up going here all the time with my mom. The taco burger is the best!

The best cheese enchiladas. Great grilled burrito. Great tacos. Wish they had one on the northshore. I've been going to this location for over 35 years. read more

Here is why I love Taco Tico. The EN-CHIL-A-DA sauce baby! I have tried my fare share of tex mex restaurants in the area and none of them can serve up a cheese enchilada better than the Tico. The food is unapologetically cheesy and mexicany (its a word) The Veterans location has closed so we must keep this one alive! They seem to be doing pretty well during lunch though. Long live Taco Tico! read more

Taco Tico - Tex-Mex Near Me - Kenner, Louisiana

I have been passing your Williams Blvd location. I stopped today, well worth the stop. everything was excellent, including the price. Do check them out. Oh, service was with a smile. read more

To be honest, I didn't realize this was a chain until I happened to Google it one day to find a menu. It has a local feel to it, kind of like a hole in the wall fast food joint. The food is good, and definitely beats the competition as far as fast food "Mexican" fare. They are quick and friendly - good for a meal on the run. They have the usual suspects, like tacos and burritos, plus some unusual items too. Unlike the Veterans Blvd location, this one has a drive thru. read more

The drive through has been closed and the line was to the back of the store. I don't think this place has been updated in quite some time. However the service was good, the server friendly, and for inexpensive food it was good. I would suggest a good paint job with some detailed cleaning. read more

I have been frequently going to this place for years. The staff and food is always very consistent. Yes, once in a blue moon I get a shell that is a little stale, however for almost 100 per cent of the time it is great. I will continue to patronize even though the dining room is still closed. I hope that this one can get it back soon as I really enjoy the laid back atmosphere. I for one hope that this last one in the area can stay. Even if this place doesn't last, I will never see myself eating the swill that comes out of Taco bell, yuck. Thanks and keep it alive. read more

This is the last standing Taco Tico in the area. There used to be one in Metairie and one in Slidell, and I do believe many many years back there was one in New Orleans right by the old Pit Theater. This place beats Taco Bell hands down every single time in food, flavor and service. Where they fail, and the reason for the 3 star review is that their hours really suck. They close very early, really limiting my ability to go there. I work evenings and usually don't leave work until after dark. If they extended their hours this would easily have been 4 stars. Still though, if you catch them during the day, they are leaps and bounds superior to Taco Bell. read more

An old favorite, and my first stop off the plane. They don't make 'em like this anymore! Get the Sancho and Crispas. Fantastic, even if it may not be luxury eats. Love it! read more

Tried the Sunday .69 cent taco special (someone eating there said it recently use to be .59 cents?) Agree with most other reviews...salsa is good, also liked the salsa bar, tacos were better than expected for the price except the meat did have a little mystery to them....not sure what kind of meat they use or if they mix it with something but definitely did a double take after the first bite. Place is a little retro with a lot of teenagers working there so expected the bare minimum, I don't care to be here or about your food and that's pretty much what I got...everyone else there seemed to fall in line with it so guess that's "the usual" there. I'll probably go again and maybe try something besides the tacos but wouldn't go out of my way for it. read more

Yes, 5 STARS! Fresh and delicious food! Don't let the older looking building and 80's decor keep you from this jewel. The prices are about the cheapest around and the staff is awesome, very friendly and nice! The Deluxe Nachos are outstanding and my go to, but everything I have eaten has been better than any other Mexican restaurant I've been to! No-pretentious good food is their specialty and they do it well! read more

Taco Tico - Deluxe Nachos and a Taco! Awesome! - Tex-Mex Near Me - Kenner, Louisiana

I don't know why anyone would go to Taco Bell if u live anywhere close to Taco Tico. I've been a customer since the late 1960's when several of my friends worked at the veterans/Clearview location. The owner, Alan?, runs a tight ship. I love their tacos, enchiladas, and Cinamon crustos. On Sunday's after a Saints game. ...my wife & I usually drive out to Kenner for Taco Sunday. An unreal 59 cents ea!! Yes over the decades there are at time service issues (to be expected with min wage personnel) but overall the food is consistently outstanding. This 5 star rating is obviously for a fast food taco. read more

I am not sure that their 'meat' is even meat...................... But what I do know it is: a laxative. Seriously. Run. Fast. read more

They have always had good food. If compared to Taco Bell this is a lot better. If you check the website they usually have coupons. read more

I love taco tico! I miss the one that was in Slidell. Thanks Katrina for taking it away. Taco burgers are good and so are the tacos.

Not the cleanest or updated place, but i love the taco burgers. I'd prefer taco tico over taco bell anyday.

I'm awarding 3.1 stars. There is a fast food mexican place back home which is like taco bell but everything tastes much better. I was hoping this would be the equivalent in New Orleans. When I was waiting in line, the guy next to me saw it was my first time and he started telling me all the good things about it. He was really excited and loved it. It is definately a step up from the TB, but not as much as I was hoping. This might be the kind of place where you just gotta know what to get, but I wasn't terribly impressed. I might return if I was in the neighborhood. read more

The best Taco in New Orleans bar none! The hot sauce has a rich taste that is unique regardless of which heat level you choose. read more

This place would be fine if they could stop the cook with dark hair and glasses from yelling "F-bombs" because he can't get a day off that he obviously requested. The blonde female cashier has to repeatedly "hush" him because he was being so loud and ugly while she was trying to serve customers. A few minutes after that event she had to hush him again because of something else uncalled for that he was openly discussing for everyone to hear. We had to cover our children's ears so they didn't hear all that foul language. It was a horrible experience and we drove a long way to eat here. Used to be a fan, but I can't subject my young family to such ugliness... so sad. read more

For some of you wonder why I gave this joint a higher rating than some of the other taco places within arms reach of this stop? Some of you read how I grilled "Don José's" and "Tacos El Gordo" with less than flattering rating? It's not that Taco Tico has a better menu, ambiance or impeccable service than the other places... but wins me over is its unpretentiousness. Taco-Tico isn't trying to be "authentic Mexican", because it's not Mexican. On the contrary and far from it, Taco Tico is straight up gringo food.. man. If you grew up in Jefferson parish in the 80's, Taco Tico was the place. Karate Kid, Van Halen, Top Gun, Duran Duran, stoned washed jeans, big hair, Taco Tico! All part of the same time capsule. The original location on Vets. closed. This is the last one. It's fast food; processed food with processed ingredients(don't kid yourself). But its cheap and its fast. Taco Bell without the huge corporate funding.This one has video poker if you're feeling lucky and they have a jukebox if you get tired of the awkward silence. The menu is basic but good. I recommend the #2 combo which comes with Sancho(burrito without the beans), two hard shell tacos and a drink. I added a "Texas Enchilada".All for $10 plus tax...can't beat that. Now if you want real Mexican tacos I suggest "El Arriero" which is a block up on Williams. Although for burritos and gringo tacos, Taco Tico is the spot. read more

Way Better than Taco Bell, better tan del taco. this place rocks, but needs improveing, was a taco bell vs taco tico wars in thw 1970s but the food is much much better read more

The food is great here but the environment is disgusting. There is always napkins and dirty trash all over. It would be great if it was clean... I never have any problem with my order and the food is always awesome. Just create a better environment for your customers. read more

I loved taco tico and their sanchos but the last 3 times ive gone my Girlfriends tacos were stale And on one appearance the apparent manager who looked like a 16 year old kid with glasses popped his head out the door at 9:23 and said they were closed as we pulled up to the drive thru wth. 9:23pm really that's an odd time please get your stuff together taco Tico and new management read more

I was impressed with the chicken Quesadilla...really good! The place is a little worn out, but the staff is friendly and seemed clean. I agree the food is better than Taco Bell and I will go back, which says a lot. read more

This place, wow! I'm kind of confuse about all the good ratings on this place, because the food was disgusting.. The meat didn't have no taste, or season!! I'm not sure if it was real ground beef. I rather eat Taco Bell. This was my first and last time going there. I waste my money and time. Never again!! After I ate that food, I was sick as heck.. Maybe they did something wrong, but my taste buds never lie. This food was crappy! read more

If you like to go to the bathroom immediately after you eat then this is the place for you. I ordered three tacos for lunch and to say it was disgusting is a total understatement. My stomach cant handle this place, not going back. read more

This is the place to come if you want fast, super cheap tacos. The tacos are good, and even better with their special sauce...

This place is great. Drive thru is quick and for about $6 I got chips and queso, a taco, and an enchilada. All superior to Taco Bell. Plus, the lady at the window was very nice and hospitable. I wish there were more Taco Tico's in the area!!!! I drove 15 minutes to come here and was not disappointed. Delicious!!!! And on Sunday's they have taco deals (I think $0.69/ each?). read more

When driving by on Williams, this place looks sketchy. But once you walk in and taste their food, you know that their motto of "It's all about the taste!" is true to their own. Their taco supremes are the best tacos i have ever eaten and puts taco bell and every other fast food mexican chain to shame. Nothing but love for this place! read more

This is an awesome place to get cheap, fast tex-mex food. It's better than Taco Bell but not exactly on the level of a Cucos or Chevy's. However, you can get things that you couldnt get a Taco Bell, like enchiladas and choco tacos. Sundays are $0.59 taco days!! The only draw back to Taco Tico is that I have to drive all the way to Metairie to get it. read more

Similar to other fast food Tex-Mex, but way fresher food and a little less expensive. The green chili sauce is killer.

I have only tried their Sunday taco special. Good, fast, basic tacos, fill some containers with different sauces, take them home and have a taco party!!! read more

I love Taco Tico. I used to go to the one on Vets. My favorites are the nachos and burritos.

This place is preposterous. My boyfriend and I usually cook dinner, but when we are strapped for time we hit up Taco Tico because we have always preferred it to Taco Bell. However, the last FOUR TIMES we have gone there to get tacos (at varying times, might I add), they claim to be closed. Hours before the website and the doors display their actual closing times. Last time we went, it was 9:20. We were in the drive thru behind a car. The car ahead of us was served, then at 9:23, when we pulled up, the worker said they were closed; that they had just served the last customer. Who closes at 9:23? Hmmm. The time before that, we went in the store and during afternoon hours, only to find all the sauces empty and the oldest, most stale shells ever. We went again tonight at SEVEN THIRTY PM and were told the drive thru was closed. At 7:30? So again, we went in... No sauces. We had to request packets from the incompetent workers, who had to repeatedly be told that our request to "add green onions" did NOT EQUATE to "slather sour cream all over our tacos." So, we take our order home... Stale shells. God awful. We might have to forget our childhood memories of this place and accept that it has completely gone to crap. You have dropped the ball, Taco Tico. I'm going to get better Mexican food from a real restaurant next time, I'll probably spend the same amount of money but get service and edible food. read more

We love this place!!! Taco Tico has really good tex mex food and always served fresh!! Their taco sauce is awesome!! Wish they sold bottles of it!! Only problem we have is deciding what to order because everything is delicious and very affordable!!!! read more

I have been eating delicious Taco Tico food for over 30 years. So glad the Kenner location is still open. We live in Baton Rouge now and my husband stops and brings home tacos, sanchos and deluxe enchiladas when he goes to New Orleans. Don't forget the peppery hot sauce!!! Yummy! Hope this place never ends! read more

Amazing food for really low prices! Its like authentic Mexican food even though its text mex and the meat is so good idk how people say its not real this stuff right here is gotta be real. The service is good enoug for me and you get your stuff pretty dang fast gotta say I was impressed I'm used to mcdonalds and taco bell with there fake nasty food that you have to wait 20 to 30 min to get read more
