Hubby and I didn't feel like cooking today, so he wanted some Mexican food. I am always undecided when it comes to the dishes I want, because I want them all! So, after staring down the menu longer than I should, I finally ordered the Los Tres Amigos. It came with a spinach burrito, cheese enchilada and soft bean taco. I even took it up a step more and added the crema salad that came with my hubby's meal (he didn't know). It was so delicious! Not sure how friendly it's going to be with my stomach later, but at the time it had my stomach full and happy!! My husband purchased the Beef Chimichanga. It was a marinated beef and deep-fried stuffed flour tortilla with cheese sauce. He raved that the meal was amazing! I was too full to try anything else, so I am going to take his word that it was enjoyable:) The food was prepared and seasoned well, the restaurant was lit and clean. Customer service was great. We enjoyed everything. We will definitely be back for more. read more

I was pleasantly surprised to find a large variety of vegetarian items. I started with the spinach dip which was delicious. I ordered El Vegetarian which is a spinach burrito & cheese enchilada both topped with salsa verde served with rice and beans. The atmosphere was just ok to me. The tv's were on though on HGTV with no sound. There was no music playing either so I dined alone and had to listen to the kitchen hustle and bustle or the other bar patrons who were on FaceTime repeatedly in public without earbuds. The service was good though he asked me repeatedly if I wanted another drink when I was barely half way through a draft beer. It made me feel rushed to finish it so I didn't. There isn't a bar tender so each server makes their own drinks. You won't find a variety of cocktails; just jarred margarita mix and house tequila. At least they measured properly read more

I have been a frequent customer since they opened. I am a senior citizen with difficulty walking. When I pick up my take out, they carry it to my car and assist me in walking. Their food is always excellent only surpassed by their kindness. Experience Taco Time to see for your self. read more

First off, This place is one of my favorite Mexican restaurants ever. I come here at least once a week because I work close by. The staff are always friendly and provide fast service. My go to order is the beef or chicken chimichanga. It's the perfect size and also comes with rice, lettuce, sour creme, and tomatoes. The salsa here is pretty good too! This place has the perfect amount of space for any get together. Everything I have ordered here has been very good and full of flavor! You won't leave hungry! read more

Great food and friendly staff. I am from the southwest and this place is authentic and it's our favorite Mexican place.

Hola!! This is my favorite go-to restaurant when I want Mexican food. It is none other than Taco Time of Columbia. I purchased the Pollo Loco, which sliced chicken with squash, zucchini, broccoli, and tomatoes in a cream sauce. It was served with rice and beans smothered in a cheese sauce. This dish is so delicious and flavourful, I would recommend you buy it today if you are looking for authentic Mexican food, give it a try, and see what all the hype is about! Customer service was great and friendly. They prepared my dish in a timely manner, no long wait at all. The restaurant was clean and functional. read more

A very nice Mexican place! I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the food. The only downsides are that the waitress did not seem to be in a very good mood, and the restaurant itself is situated in a pretty bad part of town. Other than that I would recommend! read more

I have never been disappointed here there very consistently good. I like the chicken soup. But everything I've ordered here is excellent but I particularly like their homemade tortilla chips and there sauce for them. They also have a cheese sauce for them. That is excellent as well. Service is always prompt and friendly. It's a very nice place to go. read more

So this is a typical Mexican restaurant with colorful walls and decor everywhere. Music playing to get you in the vibe. I think this was one of the first restaurants my bf and I came to last year when I moved down here. We love Mexican food, the cost is efficient, and it's close to the house which is a win. I didn't get a photo cuz we ate it so fast but their chips and salsa are so good! The chips always taste fresh and salsa gives a nice bite every time. I usually get a taco salad but I wanted to try something new, so we got the chimichanga with chicken and burrito with beef brisket. They were both equally delicious especially paired with rice, sour cream, tomato and salsa. The meat was very flavorful and the queso was delicious. I will say the chicken was a little hard to cut through so I'm not sure if the piece was too big. I'll definitely probably get those again. My daughter had nuggets and fries and the nuggets were really tender and I loved their fries. Crunchy outside with soft inside texture is perfect to me. The service was quick. I'd say we were in and out in less than 45 minutes to be completely honest which we liked because we had other things to do yesterday. The staff is very nice and they seem to try to accommodate if they can. One of my favorite restaurants. They're a solid 8.4/10 for me. read more

Great customer service and greeting upon arrival! Our food came out hot and fast. It was good!

1 star for atmosphere. It seemed clean. 1 star for the expeditious service. We were seated right away. Offered drinks right away. And didn't wait long for the food. Chips and salsa was put out right away. That's it. The waitress seemed confused or as though she couldn't understand me. We went back and forth almost to the point where it became awkward. Ultimately my order wasn't what I asked for / expected. Food lacked flavor and authenticity. I didn't finish My plate and wasn't interested in bringing my leftovers home. It made me question if it was a Mexican restaurant. Prices were reasonable but I'd personally never eat there again. read more

Personable wait staff! Food is always good. Great parking... THE ADULT BEVERAGES are a bonus.

Mexican American close to home. This style of food is a favorite among many and Taco Time has everything you could crave. They feature a pretty run of the mill menu that doesn't skip any of the fan favorites. They also have a pretty cool drink menu that's got some interesting drinks on it. Taco time does a good job service wise, food wise, and the environment is everything you'd expect. If you've been to a decent Mexican American spot you know exactly what to expect. I would've loved to see some more interesting takes on the food or style but playing it safe is also a good bet. Really not too much to say here except if your in the mood for Mexican America and are in the area Taco won't disappoint. read more

We were traveling and were tired of the same old chain restaurants. So, we found Taco Time on Yelp. I understand why this restaurant is number one in the area. The food was good and ready for pick up when I arrived. The man at the counter was very nice. We had chicken chimichangas, rice, and guacamole. The guac was more of a 3 star, but everything else was 5 star. Next time we come through the area we will definitely come here to eat. read more

The establishment offers decent Latin/Hispanic cuisines. The servers are always pleasant and the food is delivered as ordered.

TacoTime has been our go to Mexican place for several months now. The service is always good and the food is always tasty. My Bride is a Burrito, Beans and Rice gal. I tend to go off the reservation and work my way through the menu. I have zero'd in on the Chimichangas and the Fajita Chimichanga. You just can't go wrong with either of these. The Pollo Loco is excellent as well..... If you are looking for good Mexican comfort food, Taco Time is it. read more

Food much better than last time I came a couple years ago. Very budget friendly. Would come here again.

Like another reviewer said, the serving of fish in the fish taco is huge! I was able to order on a Monday night and my food was ready in 15, just as I drive up. I wasn't expecting salsa and chips, but that was ready alongside my fish tacos. I would drop by here again when fast food tacos just don't cut it. read more

The food was okay definitely needs more flavor. They apparently had an expired liquor license so they had to wait a time period to get it reinstated so we couldn't order a much needed alcoholic beverage. Also, it was very cold in there that it was almost uncomfortable. read more

Love this place. Very friendly staff good food. The taco time special is my favorite. Tacos ala cart are good too read more

This has been a great place to go for Texas Gold Margaritas. Apparently, they put more liquor in their margaritas than other restaurants. I always walk out feeling really really good. The chimichangas are also a great deal. You get two! All the other Mexican restaurants only give you one for the same price. That means free lunch the next day. That's why I love to go here. Located next to Walmart. read more

THIS WAS AMAZING! very impressed with the service and definitely the food! very cheap and good! definitely coming back!

Have been coming here for the last several years. And we've never been disappointed with their food. The wait staff are very friendly and accommodating. The service is fast, and the food is still very hot.., I've read other reviews for "Taco Time" But we've never had any problems with the food being cold. The meal we had tonight was the fajitas for two. We had the chicken & steak combination, with the bell peppers and onions with their special sauce blended in. And their margaritas are sooo very good. But you're got to come during happy hours from 4:00-7:00 the drinks are half priced. read more

TacoTime Restaurant was a good choice for us for Mexican food. None of us know the Columbia, South Carolina area and we saw it on our way to another destination. We were greeted promptly and seated. An order of beef and cheese nachos for the table. They were very good and I wish we had ordered more. Four orders were placed and everyone said how good they were. My son actually said it was the best Mexican food he had ever had. I got a combo plate of beef enchilada and a taco with rice and beans. It was very good. Would I come back here? Yes, if I am in the same area of Columbia. I'll catch you on the flip side. read more

My husband absolutely loves this place for when he's craving Mexican food. He loves their food and the convenience of location. I like it for their service and cultural theme. It's comparable to Yucatán's in Sumter, but has less options. The service is always so generous and kind, regardless of who you'll get. They're attentive and polite, yet they don't make it feel awkward by hovering over your table. There's a bar area and dining area and both seem to be very clean. I've tried multiple dishes and liked all of them. I'd recommend this place for great Mexican food and happy hour (: read more

Thanks to my Yelp friends we tried Taco Time tonight. I've been needing a local Mexican place ever since San Jose closed down. I have to admit the place was really good. We were seated immediately and had VERY good service. We had a few drinks, munched on some chips with Salsa and Cheese. When we placed our order, the food came out quickly and our order was perfect. Everything we had was delicious. For a local Mexican place I do give this place 5 stars. Prices were very reasonable. The place was clean. Food was good. And the service was outstanding. We will be back! read more

The drinks are good and the food is delicious. My favorite of all are Tamales with chips and salsa.

Always a great experience here. Great hands on manager is always constantly making sure everyone is getting taken care of. Good well drinks, inexpensive dinner options ($8.25) and fast like lightening fast service options. Friendly staff with great English. Our food is always delicious and plentiful. The location is really close to our home so it's one of the best fast dinner locations. Seating is comfy. Nothing standout just a consistent, excellent, good place for Mexican food!! Come on out and try it. read more

Not my fav taco spot. However the food will do in a pinch with a some extra condiments.

Food was okay asked for shrimp quesadillas but was given shrimp tacos. Also this was the last place I used my card before my card was compromised and someone from the establishment used my card to order themselves free lunch from Doordash from next door of their establishment. So just beware read more

I have been here in the past and decided to go in for a quick lunch while I was out running errand. The staff was just as friendly and attentive as I remember, and the food was excellent. The food is priced very well and lunch specials run about $5 if you come in between 11-3. I really enjoy this restaurant and will stop in again when I am on that side of town. read more

This place isn't real Mexican food very poor over all don't recommend come here I'll rather you make yourself something at home.

Taco time is located in a strip mall next door to Wally World on Garners Ferry. This is my second time here. The food is great. The lunch specials #1 - 10 are 4.99 before 3. Last time I was here for dinner and it was delicious. This time they've fallen prey to the "food is just warm enough so you won't complain " syndrome of the big name restaurants. This was disappointing therefore the loss of a star. read more
