SCW and I stopped in here a couple of times while staying in the area and needing some quick food. I was getting a bit on the edge of hangry so we stopped in. The selection for vegetarians is good. I've gotten the pinto bean burrito, the veggie burrito, veggie soft taco and one other I don't quite recall. I don't really know what the difference is supposed to be between the veggie soft taco and the veggie burrito as both times we've ordered them they are exactly the same. Not complaining but it's a bit odd. However the ingredients are really good. The veggie burrito has lettuce, some red cabbage, and a nice crunch from some kind of nuts among other things. I don't normally see these ingredients in a burrito but they add a good depth of flavor that makes the burritos really filling. We've only used the drive through here which is usually pretty quick. I do like that all of the packaging is recyclable. The service is good here as well. I'll definitely be back if I'm in the area. read more

I popped on thru the drive-thru earlier this summer for a quick fix on the way back to Renton. Super decent with my usual sides/meal of sides consisting of gauc, tots, and sometimes the beans sans cheese. Staff was cordial, smooth and the location is decent. Always enjoy the PNW color scheme & such. One unique feedback (or maybe just a design quirk for this spot) is the atypical modified traffic flow entering with the horse-shoe lane (which seems decently sized for maybe even a dually truck with perfect turn skillz). This setup can end up making a few dead-end parking slots fairly tight to maneuver. read more

Your Veggie Chop Salad is supposed to have pinto beans (refried beans) and black beans in it. Several times when I've ordered it, you guys left it out. ! Be more customer-oriented. read more

It's been a while since I've had Taco Time, and their Crisp Burrito and Tater Fries (which is what I usually get there) was sounding good. I went through the drive-thru and ordered those two things, and also got the Shrimp Baja Taco. The Shrimp Baja Taco was pretty good. The Beef Crisp Burrito and the tots were good, but didn't seem to be as good as I remembered. Both weren't as crispy as I remembered them to be. read more

See all

This quick serve establishment was icon of the PNW for years when I was growing up.... and actually was one of my first jobs as a young man..... I am embarrassed By the food.... quality Zero.... I can remember when taco time didn't seem like fast food..... a step above.... a good alternate to all the burger joints.... Now i would debate if Taco Bell was equal to them.... SAD. The mexi fry is crumble over cooked.... deep fried joke..... should call the local police since someone murdered my did! Taco time NW ... get it together.... take some pride. You have an opportunity to fix things and get back to basics..... What we are now paying for drive thru is what we paid for sit down meals.... I don't want excuses for supply chain... or can't find employees.... etc.... standard corporate excuses... Well.. here is an idea.. pay people a livable wage and benefits. Get quality product... and charge accordingly I've gotten Better quality at a roadside Taco truck.... read more

Taco Time - Call the cops. Murdered mexi fry - Mexican Near Me - Issaquah, Washington

muiy authentico! I love the crispy chicken tacos. they're so tasty and I like that they leave the seasoning to each person. I don't need someone trying to season it all crazy, I like white meat chicken and I'll put salt on it if I want. the very best is here at taco time! read more

Pretty good. I wanna point out that the crispy burrito is more like a flauta. It was good though so I am not complaining. It just could use some beans and cheese. The spicy tots though! Literally fire! Love them! read more

Food very good. Clean Restaurant. Why do you have to be tight with the little things? Like the measly amount of chips. read more

Taco Time - Fiesta Mexi-Platter Beef. Look folks 7 whole chips (well 6 and 3/4 chips actually). Seriously Taco Time! WTF! - Mexican Near Me - Issaquah, Washington

This place I thought was clean until I had to walk inside to tell them they got everything wrong from my drive through order. Stood by the counter for about 10 minutes hoping I could get someone's attention but no one near me only the guy working the fryer. But he never once checked or looked at the counter he was too busy grabbing peoples food with his bare hands and to make things worst he was eating while doing all of that. He would wipe his hands on his jeans then back to handling tatter tots. This place is a disaster. read more

I wish I could give them a zero star. they don't even deserve a single. the manager of the place couldn't even refund the wrong order and made me take a $7 cheaper option. this is absolute absurdity that a company can't refund a person for a wrong order. let's mind you that this was on an automated ordering screen that submitted my order wrong. after review of purchase I noticed the receipt was not what I had on the screen. i had to argue with the manager to get my correct order and still never received the difference of cost. absolutely discussing of a company to behave. read more

Food was okay but very skimpy and certainly not worth the price. Service was not good. Crew was focusing on the drive thru. Had a hard time getting their attention. Have enjoyed Taco Time over the years, but it is not a $10.00 lunch. read more

K, I am a fan of Taco Time! I still remember when Issaquah only had one Taco Time, so this second one was a nice addition because the first Taco Time was ALWAYS packed during the lunch hours. Plus, this Taco Time is much more convenient if you're located on the other side of the city, as you don't have to go on Gilman to get your Taco Time fix anymore! And because this location is the newer one, the building is much more modern and inviting. Heck, there's even a fireplace out on the patio! It's very welcoming. Food is solid. There's not much to it, as the food is simple and perhaps what you expected from a Mexican fast food chain, but it's yummy! They make their own hot sauce, too, which isn't too spicy yet provides a nice hint of spice to whatever you put it on. For me - I like that the Natural Soft Taco is filled with the basics, in addition to your protein of choice with lettuce, tomato, refried beans and ranch. The combination comes with your choice of side, and you can't go wrong with the Sweet Potato Mexi Fries, which are basically tots! Overall, this Taco Time is a solid place for lunch for me whenever I need a quick, casual meal, especially on the go as there is a drive-thru here that goes by quickly no matter how long the line is. You know you want those Mexi Fries! read more

Taco Time - Natural Soft Taco w/ Beef & Mexi Fries - Mexican Near Me - Issaquah, Washington

Clean, good food for fast Mexican...EXCEPT the tortilla chips. On both of my last two visits the chips smelled and tasted like rancid oil. PLEASE replace the oil in your fryer! The mexi-fries (taterl tots) taste fine...just the chips are awful...been to many Taco Times for years and never had this experience. read more

I'm giving this one 5-stars because I love the food at Taco Time. My final note below usually warrants a drop to 1, but I'm feeling good today and I won't let lazy people ruin that. I've only ever ordered drive-thru at this location; always consistent, always tasty. Decided to stop inside today. My food was, as ever, great. Their chips are a little salty but I guess that's what most people like. The staff was prompt and kind. And it's a gorgeous build; the owners spared no expense in making it gorgeous. Music plays throughout and it's a nice vibe. Unfortunately, despite only a lone other customer on a quiet day as staff stood chatting quietly in the back, every table I looked at was dirty and unkempt. A 45-second pass through the small dining room would have made it all look great. Happily, I found the lone booth not shrouded in crumbs and enjoyed my tasty afternoon snack. Best of luck to this spot; I'll be back again. Just not when I want to come inside a place to eat. read more

Drive-thru: CHECK the Order Display & speak up if any item is inaccurate. At window: LOOK in bag/s & don't leave until they packed what you PAID $$. I'll save my lunchtime TT pickups for North Issaquah errands, into 2024 read more

A visit was made to this location one rainy evening, in an effort to gauge non-authentic Mexican fast food in the Seattle area. And it was not a great experience. I ordered a fish taco combo (came with tots, like Wyoming's Taco John) a lemonade (no ice) and a separate crunchy taco. For this dinner, it ran nearly $21, so that's Bitch #1. My no-ice lemonade had ice, and it was extremely weak even before the ice started melting. The line got really long, otherwise I would have gone back for a replacement. That's bitch #2. The fish tacos weren't terrible but really would have benefitted from lime (like Del Taco provided - it lends to the authenticity and they're the cheapest fruits around). Bitch #3. The ambiance ain't great, but it's fast food. The high point was the habanero salsa, which kept this from being a 1-star experience. So when you see a Taco Time, my suggestion would be to check your smartwatch and find a different place. read more

Location is very clean and the people are very friendly and the food is fresh and good the ambience is nice if you sit by the fire and people watch people driving past definitely a nice little place to eat when you get off the freeway from a long days work was sad they were sold out of corn chowder that was my main reason for coming but I was so hungry I found another healthy option and sat by the warm fire read more

Taco Time - Mexican Near Me - Issaquah, Washington

While Taco Time's North Bend location looks like an average interstate stop... it's our go-to for drive-thru in the Valley... especially in a pinch! -The food is great. Once in awhile, there's an off night... but there hasn't been anything that I had that was sub-par. (If you're looking for fancy Mexican fare, North Bend and Snoqualmie aren't lacking in options!) -The service has never been lacking. Staff is friendly and reminds me if I need sauce! It helps that they pay staff a decent wage, too. -It's reliable! Out of our fast-food locations, the hours have been stable (one of our other fast-food dining options in NB has become so unreliable that we don't even bother...) My only gripe (if that) is that Taco Time doesn't have a breakfast option. Pretty please? (Yes, while it is presently closed for repairs, I know it will come back better than ever!) read more

Open your mfing dining room, it's been closed for months. COVID's over. I'm tired of coming here out of my way in my tall work van and I can't done in. read more

I think Taco Time puts a lot of Mexican restaurants to shame. It's always so fresh and the service is great.

FAST! I think that's my #1 requirement when I am trying to grab lunch when I have 14 meetings during my work day and I didn't bring a packed lunch from home. Make it fast and right and you have a long-time customer. The drive thru is weird and you are allowed to only turn right when you leave which is away from the main road so just do a U-turn. Whoever planned this was a dork. Cashier was friendly and paid attention. Didn't have to repeat myself and the food was hot and perfect. read more

I'm not sure why I keep coming here expecting it to get better lol. I went again today for a bean crispy burrito and I always got a beef one. My receipt says beef. Not quite sure what's happening everything. Anyways. There ranch always sucks also. Idk why it doesn't taste like anything. The one in Renton is better. read more

My hubby went through the drive thru and we had a fairly large order. Well it happened. Yup.... Something was forgotten. Our 3 orders of Churros. After dinner I drove by and went inside and was instantly met with a warm smile and a wonderful cashier who quickly apologized and put in 3 fresh ones. She made sure everything else in our order was great and apologized for the inconvenience. How I wish every business had this good of customer service. read more

I got food poisoning 2 days ago after eating here . I felt so horrible that my husband called 911 in the middle of the night. Besides that, both times I've visited this location, some of the employees were just downright rude. Taco Time Headquarters never returned my call after leaving a message about my awful experience. I'm never going to eat there again. read more

Clean facilities. Plenty of parking. However, the food is rather pricey with what you get. Coming from LA, we thought it would be like Del Taco or something similar. It is not quite up to par in terms of food like Chipotle or Baja Fresh but its priced along those lines. I would say it is in between fast food Mexican food and Chipotle. A combo meal costed about $7.50, which didn't include that much. It came with two fish tacos and some tater tots. They had a "special" name for their tater tots and I asked the cashier what was special about them. He was like, "do you know what tater tots are?" Umm, yes. Then he said, well, they are tater tots with some special spices on them. When we tried the tater tots, there were no special "spices" on top. They were just like cafeteria style tater tots. For $7.50+, I'd say this is a rip off. It was definitely not a combo meal. We also got the chicken soft taco. It was rather large like a burrito. My issue was that there was so much flour tortilla surrounding it. It doesn't have much fillings besides lettuce, tomatoes, and chicken. What happened to the rice? My husband got the chicken salad, this was a rather big disappointment too. Just cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, and chicken. It was a rather plain salad that didn't taste exceptionally good. I think I was mostly annoyed with this place because the guy forgot to give us forks and napkins when we asked to take the food to go. After picking it up, we realized that he didn't provide us with the utensils. What did he expect? We would use our hands? We spent about $20+ on food that was sub par. I've seen so many Taco Times around Seattle. I gave it a try. I no longer wonder what is so great about these chain restaurants. I doubt I'll ever come back. read more

I usually get the soft taco meal with beef. Today, the tortilla was a little stiff/hard. It was hard to bite through part of it. The ingredients inside did taste fresh though. Mexi fries are always hot. They never mess up my order at this location. read more

Better than the taco time on Gilman, because the food is made better and it's faster. However for some asinine reason they only take two orders a time in the drive through at lunch rush, letting all the rest of the cars extend into the intersection next to the paint store while they complete the two orders first. It's super weird, rude, and turns a 30 min break into a "wait 25 minutes in the drive through and eat in 5" break. Wish they'd fix it! read more

Love the food but I've tired to go there twice in the evening and they have been closed during advertised hours. If they were open when they said they were I would give then 5 stars read more

I was having a bad day, and on my way home, I decided to stop by for a Crisp Bean Burrito. The food was great, as usual, but what really made this experience fantastic the person at the window, Emily. She was caring, genuine, and truly one of the nicest humans I have encountered in a long time. In a matter of minutes, she turned my whole day around! A bonus being that the food is always good at this location! Thank you! read more

Quality and quantity has really gone down. Portions are less and the food is being served cold, and that's while dining in!!! Surely not worth the price they charge. Won't be returning!!! read more

Let me tell you something, this is one good looking Taco Time. The interior will leave you thinking - am I at a Taco Time or a fancy Outback steak house. I enjoy me a nice clean potty and they did not disappoint- good sink water flow well stocked paper towels, I'd stop here just for the potty break- and don't think I didn't. read more

I don't know if I just come during bad times. But ever time I been here the food is not fresh at all. The food was warm/cold and fries had old batter that did not taste good. I know Taco Time is good because I been to locations that are fresher and the food taste great. But I dont why this location just is not good at all. read more

We really want to love this Taco Time because of the nice interior, the location for us, and as a better alternative to McDonald's in terms of getting a quick meal around here but.... There hasn't been a single time we've come away with a correct order. We've had to go back because of missing items or items that are completely wrong (like a bean burrito instead of a beef one). Or had to explain to the employees what was supposed to come on the item or meal. We have gotten used to checking​ the bag before pulling away from the window. The last straw was tonight when our take out order was missing the milk from the kids meal, they didn't ask if we wanted chips instead of the toy (we did), the salad had refried beans instead of pinto beans and it didn't have the chips for the side. Sorry Taco Time. We really tried but will be looking for other taco take out options from now on. read more

I'm not sure how much you can really call the food Mexican but the bottom line it's cheap, fast and good. I think that Taco Time is pretty good fast food and I don't go here a lot but that's just because I'm not a huge fast food fan overall. I love their fish tacos and crisp pinto bean burrito (vegetarian) !!! Sooo delicious! read more

Disclaimer: I am a longtime fan of Taco Time NW, so this review starts off a little biased. But, in my defense, this is the best location I have visited. The layout of this new taco time is great. Taking their brand from the limbo of quick serve restaurants (this is what they call themselves- not fast food, folks!) they have differentiated themselves very well with a spacious interior with a thoughtful layout that I daresay is tastefully done. There are gobs of windows, a fireplace, and even outdoor seating. This ain't the southwestern-esque tex-mex joint of my childhood. They have a sign talking about their design trying to reflect NW farmers markets and the like, and I think they have done a good job of both honoring local culture and making an upscale experience for the price range. Anyway... The food itself is why I come to Taco Time, so lets blab about that. I am a creature of habit and so for over a decade I only ordered chicken soft tacos, so for the most part I will simply say that the consistently fresh ingredients make the (probably) inauthentic taco taste uniquely savory and worth coming back for. I recently sampled one of their fish tacos and I was shocked to discover that it tasted like a taco I had from a stall in Mexico itself. Very good, but very closer than the border. Whenever they have sweet potato tots I yam all sorts of up in that bidness, they seriously need to have them year round. Please? Taco Time has also been rolling out their fandangled new soda machines which claim to have over 100 flavor combonations. All I know is I finally can get some vanilla coke again. Good job all around, Taco Time NW. Now if only the rest the franchise regions could follow suit. read more

Love the great location! Nice interior decor. Clean. Good food . Predictable flavors. They could benefit from additional staff... can be slow...love the fireplace! read more

I liked it!!! This is my first time at Taco Time ever and the experience was great! This new taco time in Issaquah is across from the Chevron gas station near Costco / Fedex. I was expecting the service might be kinda slow, because they are new and it's lunch hour. And it was not slow at all. There was about 5 customer in front of us when we walked in. I like how they have LCD screen on the wall that you can easier going over the menu while waiting in line. Their service was very fast, we didn't wait more than 5 min. Once I get to the cashier, the lady was very professional and fast. Answered the question I had. We were told to the food will bring to us, and the food get to us right after we got our drink and sat down. I ordered #3, Chicken Soft Taco Meal, which comes with a side order and a drink. I had Maxi Fries with my order. I like the chicken soft taco, the flavor was good and portion was nice as well. The lady even came by and took our trays when we finish eating. Overall experience was great! Fast speed, good food, good service and its clean. This is going to be one of my new fav spot! read more

Once again I'm extremely disappointed with this establishment. They tout local and fresh, but the quality and flavor belies that. Plus mexifries are just tater tots. No Mexican spices, kinda bland. I have tried to give TT a fair shake and see if it was just an off day. Multiple visits over several months and locations. Consistently meh, maybe bleh would be a better descriptor. Will not eat here again. I know it's Americanized Mexican fast food, but still make it taste better. read more

I'll keep this short and sweet unlike my experience. We came through the drive through ordered our meals only to be told our only option is ice tea as a drink, when we asked for water they informed us...we don't have water....what?( How is that even possible)...since they were out of stock of everything else. The person taking our order had a bad attitude. As someone who has run actual restaurants, you should be offering discounted meals if you are forcing your consumers to drink Ice tea, because your restaurant manner forgot to place their order for the week. Bad restaurant management=lower customer count. read more

Basically a brand new building built to the nine. Awesome employees and location. Fresh healthy ingredients. Highly recommend this taco time location. My personal favorite meal plan on a budget is two fish tacos ($2 each) and a taco salad ($5) which includes chips and salsa. I personally have switched over from chipotle to Taco Time due to the price, my fullness, and the convience of my Taco Time never being busy. read more
