    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!

    Hell yes! Greasy Mexican food to nurse my hangover from a weekend in Tahoe? DUH! Cheap, but cash only. Bomb quesadilla. Basic and delicious.

    I love this place. Every time I'm in town. If you miss classic, eighties era Taco Bell, you'll love this place too. Great stuff.

I love the wall murals featuring the restaurant's name. There are a couple TVs and a ton of seating but all indoors. Order at the counter and take away or dine in. The cashier was friendly and helpful to navigate the menu. We opted for the 2 fish tacos or 2 shrimp tacos daily special for $8.75 and three in an al pastor Torta and grilled chicken street taco to boot. Chips and salsa are included. Fish taco - 9 - Nice crunchy batter with fresh fish and amazing punch with the pickled onions and Chipotle Crema Shrimp taco - 8 - Fresh shrimp but lacks spice. Pickled onions and Chipotle Crema give it flavor. Super Torta with Al pastor - 7 - Sadly they gave us a very plain carne asada but the rest of the Torta was good. Street taco combination with grilled chicken - 5 - The chicken was very bland but nicely cooked. The beans were terrific and the rice was just ok Pretty cool taqueria with some tasty items and ones to avoid unless you prefer your meats bland. We saw a molcajete on one table and a sizzling plate of fajitas at another which intrigues us for another time. I'd come back for the seafood tacos and the beans though!!!

The service was great and timely - I was in and out. I grabbed three street tacos and it came with chips. I only ate two tacos and the chips were stale. The tortilla on the taco was amazing, the salsa was mehhh (not enough of a kick for me) but the meat was bland, as if it needs some salt. I would like to stop by again to give it another go but I do feel there's potential here. Giving it three stars because of the blandness and stale chips.
