Best version of Del Taco! Stopped by this place during our trip on the recommendation of a friend. Definitely worth it! My husband and and I only grabbed a snack here because we were on our way to dinner but I must say, this place was better than the fancy place we went to downtown read more

I came here expecting to have good authentic tacos however what I got was worse than that. The tacos were similar to that of Taco Bell but worse. I ordered supreme nachos as well and the beans were straight from a can. The beef was not good at all and to top it off there was a piece of hair awaiting me at the bottom of my nachos. This place is not somewhere I'd recommend to go as I couldn't even finish my food in delight. read more

I was thinking...."I need a ride....and I need some Mexican food for lunch...and NO, I don't want TB." So I turned to Yelp. I see a nice fast place about 20 min ride from me. Accomplishes the ride and the lunch. I had the Super Burrito and a diet Pepsi. This AIN'T TB! That's good! It wasn't very big, wasn't small either. The ingredients were mostly lettuce/tomatoes/refried beans, along with some ground beef. And the flour tortilla it was wrapped in, very fresh. And I think that's the word here. "Fresh". It was tasty too. So if you need a "fast" Mexican food fix, but don't want that chain taste....head over to Taco Tree. Unlike what the guide above says, this location did NOT accept credit cards. They do accept ATM cards. read more

This place is what Taco Bell want to be when it grows up. Or maybe this place is what Taco Bell used to be before it got old and cynical... either way, it's good. I usually get the super nachos or a bean burrito (no onions, plus sour cream). The veggies are fresh. The tortillas as soft and tasty. I spent a good percentage of my high school lunches at this place and it's STILL good when ever I go back to get my "fix." read more

For an "auburn staple" this place sucks. Ive had better food in jail. The cleanest place in this establishment is the bathroom, probobly because most people use it immediately after eating this slop. I wish you and your mud butt the best if you choose to roll the dice here! read more

My uncle took me to this place a couple weeks ago and he went on and on about how amazing it is. I got a vegetarian burrito... it was pretty good. But i've had much better. I don't really get what the big deal is about this place. Why are so many people raving about it? read more

This is the only taco place where I will allow ground beef because it works on the nachos, the only thing I will eat there. This is largely because it doesn't claim to be authentic or try to be. It's just cheap food that tastes pretty good and kicks back later. There's something about this place that makes me keep thinking about it fondly. I'm not sure why that is. Maybe it makes me think back to my old days in Auburn, and the long commutes to Sacto. Maybe it's because I had limited food choices back then and the only other place I ate at regularly then was McDonalds (where I will never eat again- and that goes for their Mexican McChain franchise, Chipolte.) I will say it is better than Del Taco or Taco Bell, that's for sure! read more

giving them 2 stars because the food is cheap, mediocre and i've been going for years. however, the service here has ALWAYS been bad. the girls at the window are incredibly rude. my boyfriend left his card at home so i googled if taco tree takes apple pay, it said they did. when we got to the window we asked the girl to make sure. she responded with "umm no we do not!!" i said "i'm sorry it said so online" and she said "well the internet isn't always right! bye" and shut the window in our faces. we absolutely did not mean to inconvenience them. i don't understand the hype about a spot where the employees are this rude. i've been working in customer service for years and would not talk to anyone like that. read more

Where to begin... This was quite possibly the worst fast food place I have ever been to. The first thing I noticed about this place is that no one wears a hair net. Big mistake when you work in the food industry. Several people working with or around the food had long hair that was just casually draped over their shoulders as they were handling the food. The food itself was AWFUL. Crafted by a four year old kind of awful. It felt like they mixed all the ingredients up in a bowl and scooped it out on to the burritos. My burrito was supposed to be vegetarian. I guess to Taco Tree vegetarian means less than a 1/4 cup of cheese, a smidgen of refried beans, one black olive, the butt of two tomatoes, and a whole bunch of gross lettuce. It was so bad that after a few bites I had to go to In-n-out just to get my taste buds to forgive me. Spend the money to eat somewhere decent. read more

I went here during a road trip, no smiles from the staff and no vegan options on the menu, also no rice on the menu. The food was cheep and if you like meat and cheese this is a great place. The people I was traveling with loved the meat and cheese, not my thing I like veggies and rice and beans. Good thing is the prices are low and you get lots of food. read more

This is my favorite place to go.Ive been going there since they've opened. I wish that the tacos were made like they were . Like they were flour tortillas fried, not the corn ones like now. I craved them. And I still go there as much as I can, but sure wish they would change back to the old tacos... read more

Delicious, cheap mexican (Americanized) food. Not "Aunthentic super fancy mexican" but great price that always hits the spot

Yummy food is always fresh & healthy for an unbeatable price fast service professional staff at the original Taco Tree, Auburn. read more

Let me count the ways I love Taco Tree! My god I have been going to this location since 1993 and still love the food. If I'm anywhere close to Auburn this girl is having Taco Tree! Taco Bell cannot even compare to Taco Tree. Large Taco Salad, Tostada Plus and the super burrito and a side of beans are my go to items. read more

Love the veggie burritos. Place is small and always packed but the service is quick. I never mind the wait

Just was up visiting for the weekend and had a very pleasant experience here. Super cheap for really good food. Excellent and quick service. No complaints. read more

I used to work here before. It's probably the best quick and easy (Americanized) Mexican Restaurant in the area. My most recent experiences going back as a customer weren't the best, in fact I'm not sure if I'd ever go again, but the food there is really good and I'd recommend trying it if you're in South Auburn read more

Okay so I have come here multiple times, and the food is always good. However this review is for the staff. After waiting for 25-30 minutes in the drive thru when there was a total of 4 cars, I was annoyed. When I reached the window I got my food, and the girl didn't ask if I wanted any sauce. The sauce is probably my favorite part of the nachos that I get. So I had to literally knock on the window to ask for some. She gave me two packets and said "we are running low so that's it" . I was in total shock. After waiting 30 minutes I get two packets of sauce for my nachos and taco. I usually would never do this, but after coming home from a trip, I was super excited to eat taco tree. So I parked my car and walked in and complained. They basically threw the sauce at me and said usually you get 2 packets of sauce per item. Are you kidding me?? For a taco place they should not have a limit on sauce. It just doesn't make sense. I'm hoping a manager or something sees this because that is absolutely unacceptable. I know that this is kind of stupid about complaining about sauce, but the way I was treated for making a simple request was not okay. The staff has ALWAYS been rude, but this pushed me over the edge. I love the food at taco tree but I will not be going to this location any longer. read more

I've loved you for a long time Taco Tree but you blew it this last week. I went and got one of your super burritos with sourcream. The sourcream was BAD! I mean rotten, spoiled, not good. My husband called to let you know it was bad. He said the girl on the phone was rude and said the date on the sourcream was still current but she said that so quick he was positive she didn't even bother to look. That is uncalled for. It doesn't matter what the date is on the sourcream-taste that before you serve it. I crapped myself for 3 days straight from your old sourcream. BOO HISS BYE! read more

I don't to eat food that came out of a can. The refried beans tasted as such. In addition they weren't using any Mexican salsa. I truly feel very sad for people who enjoy this food. This place makes Taco Bell feel like a Michelin Star restaurant. read more

Taco Tree is an Auburn classic. Look, if you want authentic Mexican food, this not the place and it's not really meant to be. While this isn't authentic Mexican food, let's not get carried away and compare this place to Taco Bell. Taco Tree is far superior to Taco Bell. Nothing is canned (or rehydrated from powdered form a la Taco Bell), so you can always rely on Taco Tree for decent and cheap food. Plus, this location is open until Midnight. read more

My favorite Mexican (ish) dive for a taco salad. Quintessential Auburn! I have many friends out of state that would kill for a quick drive through every now and again. If you're from Auburn, you've eaten at Taco Tree. For some reason I prefer this location (near Placer) to the one off 49 but that's just me. read more

Not sure what happened to this place. Came back into town and ofcourse wanted to stop and get taco tree, walked in and the cashier was already super rude and cutting off the things we were saying when we were ordering, his name is Aiden I believe, we then found a hair in one of the tacos as well. Horrible service. read more

Staple meal at our house. Upscale Taco Bell . Great food honestly. Everything is BOMB we go here 2-3x month

***RUUUDE STAFF!!!!! ALWAYS!!!!*** The EXTREMEMLY rude staff inclues the blonde "manager" and her rude ASSt Mgr daughter, so don't bother complaining to them... I wish I could give this review giving NO stars. They are THE RUDEST restaurant staff I have ever witnessed! I have been going to Taco Tree, near Placer HS, since I went to high school there in the 80's. NO MORE. I am a vegitarian and ordered a bean tostada, like I always do... got home and there is meat on it. Ok.... inconvenience, but people make mistakes, right? No big deal. I politely called them and told them about their innocent mistake and informed them that I'd be back in about 5 mins and to please have my correct order ready for me when I arrived. They ARGUED with me, telling me *I* must have ordered it wrong (because, they can't make a mistake??). They raised their voice to me... basically calling me a liar... Over an item that cost $1.50!! I arrived there to retrieve my order... the dining area is full... the older alcoholic looking lady (one of them) continued to argue with me, Loudly.... and then slopped my tostada together and literally threw it on the counter and walked away... While the "manager" looked on and didn't say a word, but actually darted dirty looks at me..... Unbelievable! I actually don't want to support this estabishment at all, considering the owners don't seem to care how their loyal customers are treated. But, IF I have the craving for TT, then I will go the extra miles to the Dry Creek location. Great service, nice staff, they will actually give you napkins and hot sauce without huffing and puffing. They need to realize that the only people who really like Taco Tree are the locals, THAT'S who they need to keep happy, They're not too smart. read more

I can't explain or justify my love of taco tree. It reminds me of being a kid... then of being in High school, then coming home for visits. all good memories. Is it "good" mexican food? No. Do I crave it? Yes. It's a sick love I have for Taco Tree. I don't question it, I just indulge it. read more

Taco tree has been one of my favorite places to eat in Auburn for over 20 years. Yes I said 20 years! My friends and I used to come hear back in high school. The prices are great and the food is awesome. The quality hasn't changed at all after all these years. Now I bring my family and coworkers here from time to time to have a taco and a Burrito. Keep going strong Taco Tree!! You have a customer for life!!!! read more

My FAVORITE place to eat when I go back home! We literally plan trips so that we can stop here!!! Planning on bringing burritos back home in my ice chest! read more

This isn't Mexican food. Don't eat here if you want anything close to authentic Mexican food. I ate half a taco and wish I at least went to Taco Bell. Good enough for the Auburn area I guess. read more

The BOMB. A staple of Auburn for sure...i have it at least every couple of weeks when a get a taco salad craving. :) their hot sauce is amazing too read more

This place was not good. The cashier was rude. When I asked If she had steak she looked at me like I was crazy! Also I had two ethnic people with us. They just kept staring at them making them feel uncomfortable! (On a side a note for the family sitting behind us they are not Ethiopian! ) read more

Just awful. The people obviously hate their jobs and are very rude. Even the ones who are decent are still not really nice. The order is wrong 99% of the time I go here. They always leave an item out so ALWAYS check your order when leaving, even on small orders. If it's over ten items, you are guaranteed to be missing at least one item and the others will likely be made poorly and in a rush. They have a rule to only give three packets of sauce per item ordered (regardless of the size of each item). Soda refills are done behind the counter and they charge for them. Incredibly stingy company on top of the low quality of service and the fact that your order will be wrong every single time. Awful business. Would never suggest them to anyone. read more

I popped in one day when in Auburn, and because it was recommended by friends! What a hidden gem! It is fast food, and very different than other Mexican fast food, and it is good! It is usually also packed! Their food is inexpensive, you will find something that you like that you end up ordering each time you visit (well at least that is the way it has been for me!). I usually sneak in here every time I am in Auburn when I just want a quick bite on my way in or out of town! Yum! read more

Taco Tree is a cult classic in Auburn. It has a very big following, if you're from Auburn you know this... Its a classic for a reason. the food is inexpensive, and purely delicious. You can feed an entire family on $15 or LESS and everybody is happy. Love this place! read more

Very simple little place. The tacos are good and inexpensive. Also quick service and friendly staff. For a fast food place the food seems fresh. The jalapeno hot sauce is awesome! read more

I had a beautiful dream last night. In this dream I buried a taco in the ground. A glorious tree rumbled forth from the earth, each branch heavy with so many tacos. Taco Tree restaurant is the closest to this dream I have, but this substitute is far from poor. I live in the bay area, but frequently find my self in the foothills to visit friends and family. Or that is, I tell myself that I'm visiting friends and family, but lately I've started to suspect that my real agenda is to eat at delicious Taco Tree. This is the best fast mexican food ever. Period. Anyone who says different is either a liar or a goddamn fool. I drive for 2.5 hours down Interstate 80 to get it, you do what you have to do. read more

This place ROCKS! For fast food, Taco Tree blows Taco Bell and Del Taco outta the water.I have been coming here for over ten years since I moved up the Hill. I only wish it was a bigger place and the drive thru could somehow accommodate more vehicles. I don't like blocking the entry to the parking lot when I'm in the drive thru. On the bright side if the lines are long and the place is packed that must mean good food and good prices. My Favs, Super Nachos, Super Burrito, and the Taco Plus. Good job guys. read more

Im used to authentic mexican food, this place is far from it. The quality isnt there especially for the price. Wont be eating here again..

I love the food, but the customer service really sucks. I even herd the manager call one of her employees a jerk! It's no wonder everyone looks so miserable working their. As good as the food is I probably will not go back. I walked in to order and I've done this several times and for some reason a to go order doesn't warrant a bag. Every time I have to ask and the bag is thrown on the counter. I'm done with Taco Tree and they're bad service. read more

Food is fine but the dining area is really dirty. Trash on the floor, food and lettuce on the tables etc... I had to wipe everything down before my family could sit and eat. Also, The trash is overflowing. read more
