I feel so lucky that this is my neighborhood taco time. They are very consistent with their quality and every time I go through the drive thru I notice that the service is exceptionally polite and kind. Thank you read more

There was no cashier upfront but I was told it would be a few minutes. So I decided to just place an online order from the app. I don't go to eat Taco Time very often. I ordered a Chicken crispy taco, Medium Extra Crispy Mexi-fries. The guy who handed me my bag was Super Friendly and I sat down to eat. Most of their orders were Drive Thrus and from Online pick up. This Fairwood Taco Time has outdoor seating with the Fireplace showing inside and outside which is nice for warmer weather. There is plenty of parking since it's a strip mall. read more

Taco Time - Fireplace Lobby. - Mexican Near Me - Renton, Washington

Food standard Taco Time. Depending on who is working it is good or passable. Service is weird. 5 people working no one on the counter. Waited a minute for my order to be taken. They need to cross train employees to do all rather than waiting for the one person to take orders. Was not busy. Drive through a couple cars. Inside is nice but needs a little tlc. Since having package hotsauce the dispenser is still there with a container full of packets. I like it better when it was house made. read more

This is the second time I ordered from this location because they deliver. Both times the food was ice cold and I don't live far from the restaurant. I recommend not going to this location as they charge $10 fee! read more

Food (5/5): every time I visit WA, Taco Time is a must! I love how ingredients are fresh and local, and the portion sizes translate well with the pricing. They recently added spicy tater tots, which weren't spicy, but had good flavoring, reminding me of Old Bay seasoning. The nachos are always great too, with plenty of toppings and many additional complimentary adds on if you ask the server, such as corn, beans, salsa, etc Service (5/5): they used to have self serve kiosks inside this Fairwood location, but it looks like they've since been removed. Regardless, our servers have always been nice and make sure the restaurant is clean and tidy too. Ambiance (5/5): I really enjoy reading the plaques about the history of Taco Time and its connection to the PNW. It's a very cozy restaurant with its somewhat dimmer lighting, and Fairwood Square is a great place to walk around with plenty of other great restaurants too. Overall (5/5): over the years, the quality of Taco Time has continued to remain fresh and superb, and it's great seeing how they're implementing ways to make the facility equally great as the food! read more

Taco Time - Beef Nachos and Spicy Tater Tots - Mexican Near Me - Renton, Washington

Everytime I've been to this taco time they mess up my order. Today they forgot to give me a utensil, the side of chips I ordered, and the side of ranch I ordered. What took it over the edge today to make me say I will never be back is I found a curly black HAIR in my food. So grossed out. Don't go here unless you want to be disappointed. read more

I had ordered a tostado salad with cilantro and lime dressing. When I opened the dressing it had a Beef label, rolled up inside of it. Had I not put my fork in it, I probably would have eaten it. I love Taco Time and have never experienced anything like this. read more

This review is not a complaint about the food or the ambience, and maybe not even the service. Everyone there is nice. The only thing I would like to suggest is that they be more mindful when it comes to takeout. I ordered two taco salads, and did not receive any forks in my bag. How does one supposed to eat their salad if they don't have a forks? You may laugh, and say , with your hands ". A small complaint can be completely a big deal to most people. read more

The food was decent, but the only complaint I have is that I ordered a tostada salad, and there was no fork given in my bag. To me the small details like giving you the utensils to eat the food you ordered makes a big difference. I was really hungry, and wanted to eat in my car right away, but I can't eat a salad with my fingers. read more

Not sure what happened to Taco Time, but the quality and flavor are 100% regrettable. read more

Taco Time - Gross! Tasted like they added sugar to offset the heat. Taco Time missing the target. - Mexican Near Me - Renton, Washington

Food is okay, but the prices are higher each time I go, now it's $4 for a basic taco. And the app sucks hardly works, rewards are meaningless. Feels like this company is on the bandwagon of fast food to charge as much as they can for as little as they can. Blame the supply chain though! I'm over this place read more

The food was great, especially the mini meal. Like the option for smaller meals. The service was good. It's a family with small chldren atmosphere. They have a fireplace, but it was off today read more

This location doesn't have the Coke machine with all the flavors. Prices have gone up. Cashier dropped my change to the ground while in the drive thru. It rolled away out of sight. Mumbled a sorry. Took a while to get my food while sitting at the window. She handed it to me without saying anything. Told her I wanted my change. She got the manager to open the register. Food was hot and tasted all right. read more

Great fresh food, the pleasant staff and clean facility made it a great experience. Always feel I'm eating healthier at Taco Time. I had the chicken gut bowl. It was really good. read more

Consistently a go-to neighborhood quick meal. Keep in mind, they make everything to order, so it's not Taco Bell fast, but it's pretty darn fast. They have great menu options: casita burrito, tacos, soft tacos, taco salad. They also do a good job of healthy alternatives. Of course, they also have mexi-fries (tator tots) - THE BEST - so stay away from those if you're on a health kick. The kids menu does chicken nuggets that are chicken breast meat, far better than other fast food options. I can't forget the crustos - cinnamon/sugar tortilla chips- for dessert. Pop them in the microwave for a few seconds with drizzled honey. read more

Taco Time - Fit Bowl - Mexican Near Me - Renton, Washington

Food was terrible. When I went home after a basketball game I had a stomach ache really bad and then I had watery diarrhea and I was vomiting. Then I was traumatized for a really long time and I am still traumatize. Service was good. The mood of the place is good. read more

Food tasted great and the service was great too. I went through the drive-thru so not sure about the ambiance inside the restaurant. The outside ambiance is quiet and the light was out on their Menu Board. The tater-totes were not fresh. I'm a bit disappointed about that, since I used to work for this company when I was much younger. read more

I think the cook time at this location for the crispy burritos has changed. I purchase the same burritos at other locations. It's crispy. Fairwood is soggy and maybe could use a longer cook time. read more

It's been so long since I've had Taco Time. As a kid, I lived in the NW area but since moved to California... in which there is no Taco Time!!! Arggg!!! On a recent visit to Washington we decided to stop in and relive some delicious food memories as a kid. I was not disappointed. Taco Time's main food items to try are their famous crispy burritos, taco salad, and mexi fries (which are really just tater tots... but ohh so good!). The crispy burrito is like a flauta with a nice delicate crispy shell. Kind of like you'd find on a taco salad. It's crunch but not hard. You can get it filled with beans, beef, or chicken. I've always had the ground beef so that's what I went for. It was amazing, but a little heavy. One of these goes a long way! I didn't have enough room for a taco salad this time around, but I did get a delicious hard shell taco and their mexi fries. The taco was great. I loved that they put a slice of tomato on the top of it. It also featured a really nice amount of cheese. No skimping here! I'm not sure why they call tater tots mexi fries. If you were a kid and only ever had Taco Time, I'd think you would think that tater tots were called fries in Mexico. Cuz they're not!!! But this item is great nonetheless. Maybe a name change to mexi-tots would be good. Something that I thought was really great was that the company seems to really believe in composting and keeping the earth green. It's a noble cause and am glad a chain like this encourages that. Taco Time is so great! It has great memories associated with it for me, and my California friends that I took to this location loved it too! read more

I would highly recommend this Taco Time. It always produces great food that tastes so fresh and yummy. Although it's a little more expensive than Taco Bell, it's not even the same caliber restaurant. This place produces sit-down restaurant quality food. read more

I am a big fan of taco time. I usually come here if I'm in the mood for Mexican, but something in between Taco Bell and a sit down restaurant. I go through drive thru and it seems like the wait is always long no matter what time you go. The food is fresh, I've never had wilted lettuce or subpar ingredients from taco time. I think the long wait is due to how the food is made, it tastes fresh unlike some other fast food places. They always get my order right, I haven't had any missing items or wrong orders in all the times I have gone there. read more

Sorry Taco Time, but Taco Bell has got you beat. Stopped in today for a quick lunch/dinner take out meal.The taste of the tacos left much to be desired. Can't quite put my finger on it, but tacos tasted 'old'. Had a strange/odd taste. It was either the taco meat (hamburger) or the shells. Something just didn't taste right. Even drowning the tacos in hot sauce didn't help. The restaurant looked more like a morgue than a place to eat. Hadn't visited Taco Time in quite a while & now I know why. read more

Food is great but would be nice to actually get everything I order. The last two times I've gone, there has been an item missing.

I forgot to ask for her name but the young lady working the drive through on Sunday night (09/04 7:30pm) was extremely professional, energetic and kind.. have never experienced someone with her type of energy and believe she not only deserves recognition for her hard work but a raise! She is going places and Taco Time should be honored to have a worker like her! (I was the dude that ordered the veggie habero soft burrito lol) read more

Taco times meat taste like sawdust, it has been bad after the remodel. I have tried several dishes and their hamburger is awful like they have sent it thru a blender awful. Please fix it Taco time! Haven't tried the Taco Time down in Renton so will go there hopefully they are better. read more

Almost $25 for 2 meals. They conveniently forgot one of the chicken tacos, so we had to drive around and go into the store to get it. The "French fries," which are tater tots weren't hot. The wild caught shrimp burrito had 2 2-inch straightened shrimp inside and was hella small for a new that's almost $15. Never again will I spend any money at this chain! read more

The Fairwood Taco Time was recently remodeled and it is lovely. The dining room is open and cheery with an indoor/ outdoor fireplace. Ordering is more efficient since the menu is posted in the area before the ordering counter. The kitchen has also been opened up and it looks well organized and efficient. As for the food, I always enjoy Taco Time. The food quality is consistent from one visit to the next. Workers are well trained and for the most part do a great job. It is our "go to" place for a fast food Mexican meal. read more

I've only lived in WA for a year or so and had no idea what taco time was until then. I wasn't sure about it when I first went there. I was really confused. They call burritos tacos, and taquitos are called crisp burritos and their tacos are called bajas??? Oh and "Mexi-fries" are not fries. Even as I type this I'm not sure I got it right. I think half of the reason the wait is so long is because the employees are trying to figure out what people want. My coworker would pick up lunch and I would ask her to get me a fish taco. She would come back with something different every time! But who cares, it's amazing. My boyfriend loves their "crispy burritos" and I love -what I now know are fish bajas and "mexifries". And I keep coming back and putting up with the wait and the young employees gossiping in the drivethru for my ten minute wait and forgetting my tots because... it's good. And for all the people comparing it to taco-bell. Stop. It's not taco-bell and it's not trying to be taco-bell. If you go to Wendy's expecting a big mac, you're going to be disappointed. Taco-time is it's own thing. Try the fish baja!! read more

This place just got remodeled and it looks amazing for a fast food joint! However, service is so slow. The lines are long and once I placed my order it took about 15-17 minutes to get my food. Going there with little ones might be challenging if the wait for food is long. I suggest to bring snacks in case little ones get fussy. Also, please hire more people! read more

First time here in 6 months. Nice new remodel, but waiting 30 min for food is ridiculous! Not cool.

Do not go through the drive thru! Staff are standing around and one person is making food. They don't monitor their soda machine because on top of giving me the wrong soda, it was watered down. Order accuracy sucks. I ordered a beef soft taco, but they wrapped it in a wheat tortilla without me asking for it and put refried beans on my salad instead of chicken like I requested. Dissappointing because this is my neighborhood TT. :( read more

Fried beef burrito taste like they need to change the oil, had a soft beef burrito super salty kind of gross tasting. I eat at taco Time all the time up in Mukilteo and it doesn't taste like this. I've had food at Taco Bell that tastes better. read more

One of the cleanest taco time I been in the staff is nice and the food is made to taco time standard what else can you ask for

Taco Time is always great but I wanted to shoutout whoever was doing the drive thru at around 2:30 today! She was very friendly and she offered me jalapeños how tf did she know I love jalapeños read more

It had been years since I've had Taco Time up until recently. I've stopped by twice now, once going inside and the other time through drive thru. The parking lot is small and awkward, pay attention to where you are going. The drive thru is super narrow - watch the curbs. Inside is pretty big, lots of booths and tables. Clean. Visit #1 - Dine in: The guy behind the register was nice and friendly. Respected that I needed a few minutes to decide, like I said, it's been a long time since I've been by. I ordered a Chicken Soft Taco with easy ranch, and a Medium Tater Tots. I placed my order to go. You are given a number and the employees run the food out to you. Mine came out for a "for here" order, so I had to ask for a bag and stuff to go - no big deal, they were super quick about it. Food was okay, though the taco was swimming in ranch :( Yummy tater tots, but a medium is too much for one person. Visit #2 - Drive thru: So slow. Only 2 cars in front of me and it took forever. I ordered almost the same thing as last time, just no ranch this time (didn't want another soggy taco), and a small tater tots. Waited. And waited. And waited.5 minutes after ordering it was finally my turn to pay. Waited some more. Finally got my food. No thank yous, no asking if I needed any sauces or anything. Oh well, good thing I didn't. Have a nice day? Taco was much better not drenched in sauce, and a small tater tot was unfortunately unsatisfying as I literally got 6 tater tots. Meh. Line was super long when I left too. I will be back though, cause it was decent for fast food - and there aren't many other options besides nasty McDonalds for quick drive thrus in Fairwood. read more

It is TA.STY. We all know this. We paid 11.50 for a burrito, small mexi fries and small nachos. DELISH. One beef I have (pun intended), please don't bring me my mexi fries with the lid open. You are making them cold on the way to my table!! The service was slow.. 17 mins to get my food. And the parking lot just seems small to me. I am always afraid of getting hit. Not that Taco Time can do anything about it. Oh... and the mild salsa for the nachos was so GOOD. Not sure if there was crack or meth in it, but it was some tasty stuff. And I want to bathe in the sour cream/ranch sauce. Yum. read more

To the people complaing about price and then comparing it to the mexican restaurant up the street...lol Taco Time's whole deal is they are the anti Taco Bell, anti McDonalds type place. Is it true Mexican food? Not really, but the ingredients are fresh and local, which means less preservatives. They make their salsa every day, more money because it's more labor. Personally I don't want a drop in quality for garbage "value" meals packed with junk. You ever smelled the apples in the kids meal at McDs? Smells horrible. Is your emphasis on saving money at the expense of filling your kids with even more chemicals than they already come in contact with on a daily basis, go to Taco Bell. Personally, I will pay extra for the food for a little more piece of mind. Also, this is one of the only fast food joints with much of anything on the menu. Jack in the crack and McDs offer to put just the vegetables on the bun. So that's another plus for me. read more

Good food if you like tacos! Service was a little slow and they messed up my order, but they corrected it without issue. It's on a busy corner and can get quite busy at times, which may account for the slowness. But it was clean and has plenty of seating, and my food was great when I received the correct order. read more

A year ago i had a burrito and had the worst acid indigestion ever. Like when i was prregnant. Then today i thought i will have a nice taco.....oh no not feeling well. Maybe the beef...... read more

Not sure what happened with the remodel... But, someone needs to come in, and teach all their employees what Teamwork IS. Everyone seems to be working independently, and distractedly. I waited almost 30 mins for a ToGo order! Unacceptable! Just Chaos behind the counter!!! I also had to throw out most of the food, because it was cold and soggy, sitting in the bag that long. And, I only live 4 miles away. read more
