In short My favorite fast food. Consistently done as well as you can do this stuff, and has quite a bit more flavor than most fast food. Prices have always been a little higher at TT but the value is there, even as everything everywhere keeps getting more expensive. In long This location has been in range for me for almost 20 years, and since we moved 8 years ago, it's barely a mile away. Been here dozens of times in 2 decades...and have still never gone inside. The Bev Park--Speedway intersection is a pain, especially turning in here from Bev Park. But it's worth it, even if you have to wait 3 times to turn before you get to the drive-through. Maybe it's because they landscaped it pretty heavily and you can forget about traffic for a second...lol. There's only so much you can say about TT that isn't already known to most of us. Burritos, soft tacos, taco salads, tater tots with a little bit of salt and pepper ("Mexi Fries"!). They will change almost anything on any menu item, even practically customize a whole taco salad with minimal carbs. That taco salad is good, btw. The summer before my senior year at the U, a buddy of mine and I worked together, got lunch together every day. I hate to admit how long ago I was in college, but we would laugh about how much it would cost if we went to TT and ordered enough to get completely full. Our jobs included riding mountain bikes all day, so we were always hungry at lunch. One day we found a $20 on the ground, took it to TT, and even in the 90s, we still needed another $8 or so to get full. These days, a combo meal is usually cheaper than burger fast food--typically in the $12-$14 range. Given that everything they make has recognizable flavors of meat and veg, with minimal chemically-processed overtones, this feels like an awesome value now. I won't try to change anyone's mind about how good this place is compared to other fast food, let alone real food. People make up their minds about their favorite fast foods pretty early in life. This one has been mine since before it started seeming like a better bargain for the dollar compared to the other chains. read more

This is my go to taco time but lately my food (tostada salad) is almost empty...for the small shell the least they could do it make sure it full. read more

Food is good but the people working are unprofessional. One time I went in for an order ahead pick up and the food was wrong. When I told them he literally rolled his eyes then walked back with my bag before returning with my correct order. Then today, I picked up at the drive thru and overheard someone say "I don't have to worry about sh**" and someone else say "she blocked his a**". Was awkward to say the least. read more

This place is my new favorite Taco Time. The management has changed and definitely has made a difference. I wish people would understand that everybody deserves a second chance. Yes, this place used to be awful, specially during the pandemic. The customer service and the food quality went down greatly. I live so close to it and I decided to give it another try. I've been here three times in the past few months and I've realized that the service and the food quality has improved greatly! Please, give it a try and slow yourself to have a new experience. I'm saying this because I was so skeptical and when I tried it, it was the right choice. The place looks and smells clean. The bathrooms were clean as well. Keep up the good work and please don't close. I don't want to eat Taco Bell!!! read more

Customer service at an all time low. The Taco Time in Lynnwood and Kirkland are better staffed and polite. They will help you. This one should be avoided. read more

If you worked the window around 5:30 Nov 11. You're a g, and deserve a promotion. Minimum wage doesn't deserve y'all. read more

I hate to give taco time a bad review because I've never been to a taco time that I just absolutely left disgusted but since it's been a reoccurring issue I'm leaving 1 star. It took 10 mins today to get my food thru the drive thru My visit before it took 30 mins from going inside to get ONE crisp burrito. My time was up and when I asked for a refund she said she couldn't give me one and the guy in the back told me to call later about it. SERIOUSLY???? I love taco time but not so much that I want to give them free money and be treated rudely. It's not your patrons fault that you are understaffed, undertrained, and hate your job. Don't treat as though we are inconveniencing you by coming to eat. If you can't deliver it quickly be a sit down restaurant not a fast food drive thru!!! read more

I've eaten here 20+ times, I always use the drive-thru so I can't comment on inside, but I've always had a great experience. The people who work there have always been really nice and their food is 10x better than Taco Bell. read more

Like that it is fresh and local food! My parents brought us and I still continue to go.

The food has really gone downhill over the last few month. consistently cold and taste like it's been sitting around for a while. Real shame used to love going here so close to my house. read more

Shocked to see poor quality food at sit down restaurant pricing. $22 dollars for a #11 and 1 taco!? Take a look at the picture, when I got home I was disgusted, dried out tortilla cracking and pieces flaking off of it with what looks like a thumb jammed into the side of it. You guys are way too expensive for this nonsense. I've had a better experience at Taco Bell and that isn't saying much. It's not worth driving back at this point. Also if you pay for a grande make it a grande, you skimp on the mexi fries it's no different than the size below it, ripoff! read more

Taco Time - Soft Taco pictured, except it's hard crisp and flakey. Everything soft shouldn't be. - Mexican Near Me - Lynnwood, Washington

I go here all the time. They were not busy tonight but the cashier at the window (Stephen according to the receipt) acted as if it was a big imposition I placed an order. He never asked if I wanted hot sauce so when I did I got a heavy sigh as he slammed my bag down on the counter to turn around and grab it. I got home and my order is incomplete. Mexi Platter missing a taco. I just tried to call the number on the receipt and it rang and rang and rang. No answer. I don't know what's going on there recently but they could do with a manager who knows how to create a team spirit and teach customer service. read more

What the hell happened to CRISP bean burritos??? No one likes a flacid "crisp" burrito!

We love taco time. But at this location I have had bad luck. One time they had no bags for your food at reg drive through. Then on 11-04-21 we stoped by and the food was so salty my wife and I couldn't eat the food. For some reason this location has issues. It's to bad but we won't be eating at this Toco Time. I think 2 stars is generous. read more

Always quality food, always quality service! Super friendly, competent employees every time - and I been going here 1-3 times a week for 5+ years! read more

Well tonight I decided to stop thru the drive through and wow what a disappointment . They were out of mexi fries, salad dressing, all kinds of stuff. It was ridiculous... and I felt sorry for the guy in the window as I listened to him get yelled at by the other people who came in behind me because they were out of everything they wanted too. It was seriously a joke- how can u make money and serve people without any product?! It's pretty simple- if u didn't order right and u run out call another store and get it. U kinda need to serve people...I don't know if kristi or jen are still around in the company but if so...plz !!!help this store read more

Great customer service through drive-through. Keep up the great work pumping out those quality tacos and tots!

We came through the drive thru on December 10th with our new kitten. The employee at the window told us to name our kitten Hot Sauce. We named him Captain Hot Sauce, so 5 stars. Also, the food is delicious, and reasonably priced! We love our local Taco Time! 10/10 would recommend. read more

Moving up from my previous 1 star I have been back in a couple times and I must say service is consistently getting better can tell the want improvements so much respect to them and the ice is still bangin lol read more

How can a restaurant not serve you hot food? Ordered 3 items in advance for pick up at the restaurant, they were ready at the specified pick up time but when I got home 5 minutes later none of the items were hot and one was cold as if it had been in the refrigerator and not freshly prepared. How a restaurant at any time and especially now when their full business is based on pick up/take out could serve their customers refrigerated food is beyond me. The ingredients were not bad but items being cold instead of hot was not acceptable. One update to my above review. Two of the items I ordered were soft tacos, one was cold the other was warm (though not hot). Thanks to Taco Time for reaching out quickly to help try and make things right. read more

Taco time usually is one of the better fast food establishments to frequent. That is not the case with this location. By the time I get home my food is already ice cold, and my stomach is always very unhappy when I'm done eating. I love crisp beef burritos, and the ones I get here just don't seem the same as other spots. I'll pass. Thanks though. read more

My husband and I eat here about 2x a month. Today's visit was off. My tacos were made incorrectly. The cashier seems highly irritated that we said something. The guac (chips and guac) was dark green and obviously old. Since we'd already complained about the tacos, I didn't say anything. The customer service and food were both bad today. read more

Taco Time - Here the fresh guac from Taco Time! - Mexican Near Me - Lynnwood, Washington

Its only as good as the employees scheduled that day! On a good day, its clean , food is fresh,very reasonable and smiles abound! 3 plus stars On OTHER days, NEGATIVE attitudes, messy, wrong orders.....1 star. You'll get the VIBE quick! read more

When you first walk in it looks nice and clean but when I went to sit down the tables were very dirty. Food was good but not impressed with the tots. They were soft and unable to even dip them in sauce without them breaking and then I had to did the broken piece out. Very soft... Even when it did slow down inside I did not see anyone start to clean any tables. I wouldn't come back to this one but then again it depends on how hungry I am. read more

What a $hit show, obviously no one is working management cause everything sucked, my shotty made tacos, didn't take off tomatoes like i had said and the dude read back to me, the mexi fries are a disgrace, old, crumbly, soaked with grease and chewy which was the worst part, the new cilantro whatchyamacall it is not worth the hype. And the chicken taco had chicken on one side and the cheese lettuce and sour cream on the whole other side. YOU HAD ONE JOB BRO!! 2 meal combos came to $17 feels to me like i just got shafted by a mack truck. It was F'ng Clown Shoes read more

Taco Time - What a joke, these mexi fries shoulda been called mexi hash browns that are chewy old scraps that make your mouth feel sorry.smh - Mexican Near Me - Lynnwood, Washington

*TACO CRIME* STILL can't get orders correct. Even after years of terrible Yelp reviews. Wtf is wrong with this place? How can it be that hard to put what I ordered and paid for into the bag?? Do NOT ask me to fill out a survey. I'll never return to this Taco Crime, you shouldn't either. read more

The cashier taking my order was not the best. She looked at me as if she's never seen an Asian person in her life and it was like I wasn't speaking English. Which I happen to be fluent in since I was literally born in America. I asked to order every variety of soft tacos since I didn't know what I liked and she looked at me like I was crazy.. this visit was so uncomfortable. I will not come back. read more

I love taco time Veggie soft tacos! However this location does not make them well. The beans were watered-down and almost nonexistent. The first time this happened I just brushed it off because every business has bad days and I thought maybe a new person didn't follow instructions properly. Since it is a convenient location I tried it again. I actually had to bring it back into the store and have them make another one which was better but not by much and not nearly as good as the other locations that I frequent. Ugh. read more

Food is tasty... to a degree. Employee at the register, Ick. She wears the most disgusting-est, greasy uniform that is in your face BAM-style. Handles the cash AND touches your straw (yes where your mouth goes) without washing her hands. I cringed when I saw this unfold before my eyes. So in conclusion, Taco Time should help their employees be a little more presentable and practice sanitary standards more often. read more

Thanks for turning things around... the management has added friendly staff and it's now my favorite Taco Time. remember, back in the day when you could stop into any Taco Time and get good service and good food. At this particular Taco Time you don't get either. The service both times I have been there is completely lacking. Both times I got a soft taco and the first was a natural. I found a thin layer of meat but mostly crammed full of lettuce. Expensive but this particular Taco Time I will never visit again. I wish I would have read the reviews prior to giving them my lunch money! Argh!!! I received a response from Taco Time wanting me to fill out a form of suggestion. I simply replied. Are you kidding me? Customer service is huge to the majority of businesses. I should not have to order good customer service, it should come with my meal. And as I stated, I could tell that you guys purposely went cheap on me with the amount of meat that was placed on my taco. The last two times I have been there it has been consistently light. I should NOT have to tell you how to run your business, you should be a pro at it by now. So no, I will will not fill out your form as it is not my job to teach you how to run a restaurant. read more

I've been here a few times recently after not having been in quite a few months, and service is extremely bad in a way that it never was before. When you're having your order taken it does not sound like the worker is really listening, wait times in line are incredibly long, and when you get to the payment window, it still takes forever to get your food--while you listen to the crew "working" just mess around for 5+ minutes before ever getting you food. And then the food is subpar--there's no reason for me to be given tater tots that have no structural integrity or crispness, as pictured. This place needs help; when I want to go to Taco Time from now on, I'll go to another location. read more

If I could choose 0 stars I would!,This Taco Time is the worst. Waited in the drive thru 30 mins at lunch time ,took my whole 30 min work lunch waiting in line. Noticed the checker at the window was wearing gloves to take money and to prepare food.. when he handed the food to me, the whole bag was greasy.. It made me wonder just how did they prepare my food? This will definitely be my last time I go to this establishment .. Get it together Taco Time! read more

Excellent Mahi-Mahi taco, nice interior, staff was friendly. The fish taco on a corn tortilla is a really good item. read more

Seriously, hire more staff at lunchtime. I've waited 15 minutes so far to get my food..... unacceptable!!!

Drive through order was screwed up and customer service was non existent when trying to rectify. No longer will patron this store and thinking of never getting a taco waste-of-Time again. read more

Worst Taco Time I've ever been too, and I love Taco Time. I was the only one in the drive thru and they were painfully slow. I thought to myself - well at least the food will be hot and fresh. Nope. Mexi fries were ice cold. Chips and taco shell tasted stale. Disappointed. read more

If I could give negative starts I would. Way too long to wait in drive thru. Kid on the mic sounded like he was high or just highly uneducated, and he figured out not one, not two, but five ways to screw up our order. We asked for no tomatoes, we got them, we asked for ranch, we got none, we bought two meals, got only one mexifry, and I asked for a large drink but we got two mediums. Also, when we got to the window the kid said there ya go, and we had to ask for our drinks that had yet to be poured, abd he asked us what we wanted again because the 2 minutes was too long to remember two sprites!!! Really hate that is the only one in 20 miles from my house, cuz there is obviously no leadership, and this is a normal experience. Just the first time I was so screwed by then that I had to write. They employ morons. read more

Went there last night 9pm, no customers, container with cover was filled inside with bugs, soda machine was disgusting, just imagine if it looks like that on the outside, what does it look like in the kitchen. Chowder Soup wasn't anything special, it definitely wasn't hot, more like lukewarm I wouldn't go back, even though its fast food, I would like to know that the place is kept clean and free from bugs or other living things, especially where the food is prepared. Adding photos. read more

See all

Worst Taco Time I have ever been to. I live closeby, so I have given them a few too many chances. A $.50 fee for debit cards is ridiculous. Mediocre customer service. Beans are always crunchy & overcooked. Food is often overcooked. Consider yourself warned! read more

The wait time really needs to be addressed at this location. You will never be in the drive through for less than 10-15 minutes, even if you're the only person in line. Hire more people or find a way to make your process more efficient. read more
