    I've been eating Taco Tree for 30+ years and never had terrible service, until last week. The girl who took my order didn't even greet me back before she barked "for here or to go." Insert the typical gen Z stare until you're expected to just tell this robot human what you want. The woman who helped my husband was incredibly rude as well. He asked for more than two packets of hot sauce so then she proceeded to give him more hot sauce than any one human should consume in one sitting. This must be a miserable place to work or these employees just hate their jobs. Food is beyond mediocre. A step above taco bell, sure, but still not great. Bathroom is gross! There are so many other places to eat at in Auburn, skip this place. We won't be back, ever.

    My first time eating here 12/11/25. Really good for the price and service. One of my new favorite Taco places now.

    It's a cute little taco fast food joint. The tacos were fresh and tasted good. My dad was overjoyed by the "taco in a bun". He said he's loved it since being a kid.

    It's been 20 years since I've been to Auburn. I loved Taco Tree then and passing now, I had to stop in. Nothing has changed. Just like my college days. Crispy tacos with flavorful beef and chicken. Friendly small town service and super clean inside. I need to find more reasons to head back this direction.

    We visit Taco Tree on trips to tahoe so have dubbed it Tahoe Bell hahahahah Ahem, yeah so service os really fast. remarkable. and peep this: they understand plant based eating. Vegan, plant-based, eaters can order the veggie burrito, hold the cheese. What's missing? Chili's‼Ask em to add jalapeño peppers to make this Om nom nom chompsky pop. They have mild & hot sauce too! Just request it. The outside has a cool sign you can selfie beneath too

    Not sure why it has taken me so long to write a review here but here I am! I have been coming to this location since I was a kid and can I just say it as good now as it was when I came here with my parents! Quick service, seems to be clean every time and you just know what to expect when coming here! Tacos, burritos and I love their nachos!

    Not a large menu, just a perfect one!

    After a hike, I was looking for something to replenish my energy and this place did NOT disappoint!…read moreThe parking lot is a fair size, but it seemed to fill up quickly. There was a good amount of outdoor seating along with a few tables inside as well. The vibe there was pretty lively and fun, almost reminded me of old-time burger joints. After ordering my Spicy Johnny burger and onion rings, it only took about 15 minutes to receive it, which is understandable because the food is fresh and made to order! At first glance, it worried me that the burgers seemed slightly small and I was worried I would still be hungry afterwards. However, I was decently satisfied after eating (although I do still wish it was slightly bigger). The burger was packed with flavor and extremely juicy. The spice on it packed a decent punch that satisfied my tastebuds! And the onion rings were great! They weren't hot when I received them, but they were still crunchy. After the meal, I ordered a vanilla ice cream cone dipped in chocolate. Nothing more to say other than it was a refreshing way to end my dinner!

    Upon arriving on a Saturday evening, this place was busy, and the vibes seemed great. I love that…read morethere's the option of indoor and outdoor seating. You can also order outside or inside. It took about 15 mins for my order but worth it for fresh food. For the sauces, they offered a variety including spicy thousand island, ranch, and etc. The burgers and onions rings were high quality and delicious. I was wondering if the burgers came with sides since they are in the pricier side, but it doesn't. But after eating my meal, I was pretty satisfied and everything tasted great, that the prices were justified. From photos, the burgers seemed small, but was happy to find out the burgers were a good size. I ordered the New Fashion and added cheese to it, plus family size onion rings. The burger was very filling and tasted really fresh and flavorful without being overpowering. But I do wish there was more lettuce than just one piece. The onion rings were made perfectly and wasn't overly greasy. After my meal, I went back to order a small ice cream cone dipped in chocolate. I love how they include this cute little plastic anti-drip cone holder! Overall, the entire experience was good and everything was delicious. I'd come back! (Random note; I've never seen a banana shaped wet floor sign before but that made me giggle hehe)

Their burgers are the freshest and at this price point, nothing comes close! I would venture to say that some restaurants can't beat their burgers! Their burgers use fresh ground beef, all the veggies are super fresh. I usually get the hamburger (no cheese because this girl has to watch her figure), with regular onions and peppers. I like their regular fries! My family likes fries animal style. The line can be looong but they do the best they can, always with a smile! Their decor is retro fast good aesthetic with lots of red and white gingham print. Every restaurant has a similar vibe, down to the palm trees out front!

Anthony was skirting around the floor staying busy, anytime he was near the front door he would hold it for somebody either coming or going, I heard him ask one of the patrons if he could grab their order and also asked someone if he could refill their drink. Another patron sitting close to us pointed out 'you just can't get customer service like that nowadays'. This guy was just above and beyond normal customer service. He sets the bar pretty darn high for his other coworkers to match. Kudos for Anthony and his superiors for a job well done.

He made suggestions to our order and even suggested a grilled chicken patty for our dog in the car. The store is always clean and welcoming with the employees on the lookout for debris and dirty.

    This is the worst location I have ever been to! I placed an online order for carry out at 10:11am…read more Checked in at 10:14am, said my order would be ready in 1-6 mins, went inside at 10:18, and told the cashier my name. The cashier said it was on the screen and should be out shortly. At 10:31, I had not received my order and I asked how much longer and that I could just cancel my order because I had somewhere to be. There were 3 employees standing in a crowd in the back staring at the kitchen, and the cashier asked them how much longer and he said "when it's ready." When I pulled into the parking lot there were 4 cars in the drive thru and one person eating in the lobby so I know it wasn't too busy. I told the cashier I would just cancel and then out walks somebody with my order at 10:35. All I ordered was a large hash brown, egg white grill, and medium sweet tea. 21 mins for two items is insane, I could have drove to the Roseville location and been treated way better. As I was leaving the person in the lobby said this location is the worst and I have to agree, will not be back.

And MCD makes some of the BEST fries! Happy Meal - Not sure why my buddy got this, I know we just wanted a snack. Maybe he also wanted a toy??? Atmosphere - Cool decor throughout, see pictures. Drive thru available. They do quite a bit of mobile orders at this location. I guess that is better than drive thru? Mobile orders require the customer to come inside and pick up their food. Open 7 days a week from 5am to 10pm. Plenty of parking. Free wifi, I did not use it. Service - Self service kiosk, the payment machine on the kiosk did not work.
