If the place is call Taco Tree, you obviously need to eat their tacos and not anything else. The super tacos are amazing. The service however was only okay. Huge line up, only one person at the counter and he takes his sweet time filling up the pop. Nobody came up to open the second register. read more

Taco Tree - "Super taco". Yes it is. - Fast Food Near Me - Auburn, California

See all

This place is almost always my first stop when I come back home to visit. If you're looking for gourmet or authentic Mexican food, this is not it. But it is fresh, filling, simple food. I'm vegetarian, so I can't say anything about the tacos, but the super nachos are great (sans the beef). Try a bean burrito with extra sauce, it's delicious. And don't forget to get extra hot sauce packets on the side. The service is really fast (especially the drive thru). I tend to avoid it at lunchtime during the week as it gets pretty crowded with high school kids. I always end up eating way more that I should and spending way less than I expect. read more

Locally owned "fast food" that is super tasty. It's going to cost a smidge more than Bell, but Oh, is it worth it!

We drive up here about once a week from Sac to get Super Nachos, Super Burritos and a Taco Plus. Hey Taco Tree, please open up a new location closer to Sac! read more

I have eaten here many times before, mainly because the price is right and the drive in is convenient. I took a friend there for taco salads and when I asked for some extra salsa for my salad as there was no dressing offered, the Manager (not sure if she was the owner), piped up and said "we'll have to ring you up for that", there is already salsa in the salad!~ What they gave me as salsa was an oily substance with some onions and bits of tomatoes in it. The kids working seemed very intimidated by whoever the woman was who was supervising them.... I'll make my own tacos, thank you read more

I LOVE TACO TREE I can eat 3-4 of their regular tacos. The shell is kinda thin and they put tons of cheese. Tacos are the only thing I get here. Husband likes the nachos - they have nacho cheese :) The drive through line gets pretty backed up. Their location on Hwy 49 is a lot larger I will go back. read more

For price and Convenience and speed I give it 5 stars not the best Mexican food I have had but definitely the best at what they do in the food is very very good. read more

As an Auburn boy, 5 stars is a no brainer. I went straight from the tit to the Tree. I have been going to Taco Tree for more than 30 years. The menu has not changed much at all over the years. Everytime I am back in Auburn, I hit Taco Tree and blow my diet. It is the same every time. Grubben. read more

I come home from college for Taco Tree. LOVE the super nacho, bean burrito, etc etc. I love it all. I dont know what it is, but I think everything tastes better from taco tree. EVEN THE SODA. Its magic. read more

I love Taco Tree...i am a long time loyal regular..SUPER NACHOS are the best..order it chips on the side...best fast food tacos PERIOD...and man you want a good breakfast burrito?..LOOK NO FURTHER. read more

I've eaten at Taco Tree my whole life and will never go back... This is the second time in a row that we've had both terrible food and service! Tonight we went through the drive thru and got a soda that was not read back to us and was not ordered, we attempted to give it back and she rudely said we were already charged so we better just take it. Upon arriving home with our 17$ cold disgusting food we realized that half our order was not in the bag. Terrible experience, gross food, and worst customer service!!!! read more

Love love love the super nachos, in fact the only time I eat nachos is at Taco Tree! You really can't beat the price.

Fantastic go-to. I explain it to non-auburn folks as "like Taco Bell, but with real food." it's great fast food, with great service. I personally like the Taco Salad and the combo burrito, but their bean burritos are one of the simple pleasures in life. read more

I love Taco Tree, but not this location. Before going into my experience, I just want to say this is not authentic Mexican food and isn't supposed to be. It's decent, quick and simple. Key word, simple. I grew up in Auburn and have frequented Taco Tree for many years and I try not to write a negative review off of one bad experience. However, the beyond poor customer service has become a consistent happening that I feel the need to share. I had gone through the drive-thru one evening during finals week craving my usual 2 veggie burrito's with no olives and extra cheese. Drive all the way back home and open up my brown bag of goodness but what was inside was not my order. OK, no problem, people accidentally hand the wrong bag to customer's in the drive-thru every now and then. So, I drive back to get what I had originally ordered and when I explained what had happened to one of the employees inside, they acted like it was my fault some how. I literally had to open up the burritos and explain that what was inside was completely different than what I had ordered. The attitude that was given when I asked for my burrito's to be re-made was astounding. And it even showed when they gave me the redone order, IT WAS STILL WRONG! I didn't even want to ask them to re-make it again considering that they blatantly did not care about getting it right. I again, opened up the burrito's to show them again what was done versus what was on the receipt. I asked for my money back and there was no apology given or any sort of concern or recognition that they had made any mistakes. Perhaps it's my fault for going back to this location a second time...but I was there last night. Stood at the counter to wait to put in an order, one of the employees on the line yelled in the back for the cashier to come up 3 times but never said, "Hey thanks for coming in, some one will be right with you." Again, I ordered my usual and when my order was ready a female employee with blue hair literally tossed the bag on the counter and said, "Here's your order," as she walked away. No thanks for coming in, have a good night or eye contact. Completely uncalled for and I'm sorry, but I've worked in the service industry for a long time and no matter what you're going through outside of work, leave it at the door and put on a smile. I would be utterly ashamed if I knew the employees of a business I owned treated customers that way. Not to mention they were cleaning the floors as they made orders for the drive-thru. The only thing they got right was not having olives on my burrito....finally. I still love Taco Tree and their food but I recommend making the trip up to the location of of Hwy 49. They're extremely nice and get orders out quickly and the food isn't half-assedly made. read more

Best place ever for lunch better then other taco places and I've ate some tacos !! Always great customer service and the food is delicious!!

What can I say about The Bush..? So fricken good!! I'm on a Taco Plus kick right now and I can't stop. I'm going there right after I finish this review. Been eating there for 25 years.. it only gets old when you eat there more than 5 times a week. I'll never forget after high school bumping into one of my friends back from college and I asked if he was going to see his folks.. and he looked at me all disgusted and says.. "Dude.. no, I'm going to Taco Tree... THEN I'm going to my parents house.." ha ha.. Anyway that's what this place does to some people. read more

After years of eating here, the food has stayed good and the service has stayed bad. The other location on 49 has better service.

This place is what Taco Bell was back when they had good Mexican fast food. I haven't lived in Auburn for several years so now I drive half an hour to get my Taco Tree fix. The bun taco and the bean and cheese burrito or the super nacho's are my favorite's. read more

I eat here all the time. The tacos are far better than anything Taco Bell offers. There is more meat and more cheese, and less lettuce than anything you get at Taco Bell. The staff is always friendly and the food is hot. It may not be authentic Mexican, but it's good food, priced right. All the kids at Placer High that eat here can't be wrong! read more

I love this place! I live pretty far away, but whenever we drive by Auburn, we stop here. Is it authentic Mexican food? No. Do I care? No. They make very tasty tacos and enchiladas, perfect for a quick lunch on the way to Tahoe. (And, of course, on the way home, too!) read more

A friend recommended this place to me saying it was a must here in Auburn. It was close to my office so I decided to try it. I have to say that I couldn't even finish my first taco and we ended up throwing most of the food away. I was really disappointed. No offense but I'd rather go to Taco Bell for these types of tacos, burritos and nachos. The place is always busy but I will never visit again. read more

I love Taco Tree! Our WHOLE family llloooovvvveeeessss TACO TREE! We live in Orange County, but whenever we drive up to go to Lake Tahoe we ALWAYS stop at Taco Tree! We love their nachos, tacos, and burritos! Taco Tree needs to open in Orange County! We love you Taco Tree! read more

great local eatery if you enjoy mexican style fast food.

Sloppy. Sloppy. SLOPPY! Very poorly put together! Best of the best gets voted in by the good old boys of Auburn that don't want anything to ever change! Guess what! This place has changed. Unfriendly customer service! Always! And sloppy unpredictable portions! Get it together or get the hell out of town. McDonalds at least gives good customer service with their slop! read more

I used to live close to this one and go often. The food isnt bad and is inexpensive. The reason I no longer attend this establishment is the staff. They are soo rude! We got a taco salad to go, when our number was called the employee threw it on the counter then ran to the window to greet a friend. My bf asked for a bag the employee came back and threw the bag at him, snorted at him and rolled her eyes. I couldn't believe my eyes! I know they get a lot of business from the high school but that doesn't mean you can't have good customer service. I make a point to go to the one on dry creek the service is faster and professional. They also aren't stingy with their hot sauce. I recommend driving the extra miles. read more

This is the first time I've felt truly betrayed by a business's online ratings. This is by far the worst "Mexican" food I've ever had. The only option for tacos was ground beef. That would have been my cue to leave if I hadn't been on a tight schedule. And the tacos are hard shell by default. Store-bought flavorless tortilla filled with 75% shredded brown lettuce, and the rest comprised of seemingly pre-shredded cheese, and store-bought "hot" sauce on the side--in plastic packets. Overall, in comparison to Taco Bell (which I detest), this place somehow manages to be slightly more expensive, slightly lower in quality, and offers a much smaller menu. read more

Literally the best fast food Mexican you can get! I have been coming here for 20 yrs almost on a weekly basis to get my usual; bean and cheese burrito and large ice tea! Love TT! read more

The main thing I have to say about this place is that it is dirt cheap. I was kind of in awe about how low the prices were. That being said I didn't know what to expect about the quality of the food. It is definitely not supposed to be an authentic Mexican food place so think Taco Bell. It was actually ok, not great but when you are paying that kind of money that could be expected. I got the super nachos and they do use nacho cheese sauce which was kinda of gross. I was hoing for some real shredded cheese. Also they barely sprinkled on ground beef so it was mostly refried beans and nacho cheese. Gf got the tacos which looked pretty standard, like taco bell. Would be nice if they had a salsa bar and that could actually bump it up a star. The overall look of the restuarant was actually pretty nice for what it is. I liked the woodsy decor and it didn't feel like fast food at all. I would go back there again to try some of the other items on the menu. read more

An Auburn staple!! The best fast Mexican food around. Everything is good, but my favorite is the Super Nachos. So great!! If you visit Auburn, you have to go to Taco Tree. If you live (or ever have lived) in Auburn, you have already been there (probably MANY times). read more

i wasent sure what all the hype was about it tasted just like taco bell we ordered beans and cheese, soft and hard tacos and super burritos, ill say lacks flavor but staff is super nice1 read more

OMG. It's a rite of passage for any Placer High Freshmen. Open campus at lunch. It's often referred to as "on campus". Always visited by returning students home from college. Oh ya . . . Great food too! read more

This place is good if you want something quick, greasy, and cheap. The super nachos and super burritos are good, but you MUST order them with chicken. Makes them 10x better. Not what you would call authentic, but still good for a quick, cheap lunch. read more

So....it must be an Auburn thing, because I grew up in Auburn and think Taco Tree is pretty much the best thing since sliced bread. I know it is just fast food Mexican, but anyone who compares it to Taco Bell is just crazy. It tastes nothing like Taco Bell. Taco Bell is super gross, and let's face it, Taco Tree definitely is not. Their super nachos are sooo tasty, and just a simple taco or tostada is excellent. In fact.....I think I'm gonna go their for lunch today. Whoo hoo! read more

Taco Tree will kill you dead, but at least you'll die with some cash left in your wallet.

So good!!!! I can eat like 5 of their bean burritos at one sitting!

Good, quick food but CHECK YOUR ORDER if you go through drive through. Two times in a row now I've gotten the wrong food and didn't know it until I got home 10 minutes later. Not happy. read more

Love this place. Their food doesn't taste cheap like taco bell. I wish they had gaucamole.

Taco Tree is just like Taco Bell was in the 80s. It is a Mexican food place wanna be. Bland and with tacos that use those crunchy taco shells. For the uninitiated gringos, Taco Tree is probably a heavenly place . Not for me and I am not even Mexican. Unfortunately I was duped by Yelp's high star reviews. I should have known better, that when looking for a Mexican food restaurant, I should look for reviewer's name like: Armando, Jesus, Roberto, Maria Eugenia, Eduardo, Ricardo, Arnulfo, Adolfo, Carolina, etc. Only then would I believe Yelp. read more

I am disappointed with how we were treated in the establishment. We ordered with the cashier and she would just stare at us aimlessly with shock and disgust since we were a bit darker than their average customer base. But I tried not to think of it and maybe though I was over reacting to there attitude...until I heard some one say something about us being ethiopian. I'm Asian. read more

ok first of all yelp needs to start letting us reviewers give no stars. the service was TERRIBLE. not only were the help laughing at us but they were clearing talking badly about us. if your restaurants food is good then sure the waiters can be somewhat rude, but the taco trees food was not even close to ok. One more thing, if you are an attractive customer coming into their taqueria expect to be feeling judged. don't worry they are just jealous cuz their staff is ugly. so if you're looking for a good, family environment to eat & enjoy your Mexican cuisines, the taco tree is definitely NOT the place to go. :-) read more
