Some tacos are hit and miss, I'd recommend sticking to the street tacos. It was more authentic. The banditos appetizer was also bomb. Additionally, I tried all of their sauces. I didnt care much for any of their ranch. The diablo was the best, roja, tomatillo, five alarm, and XXX extra hot. Only the five alarm and extra hot was actually spicy. The rest was western level spicy. Chips and salsa was great. I would come back again, service was great. read more

The Taco Joint - Enjoying good food and good company at The Taco Joint - Tex-Mex Near Me - Plano, Texas

I've been going here once or twice a week for breakfast for about a month. It's high time for a review. They serve very good breakfast tacos (full size, not street tacos) loaded with egg/cheese/meat with 3 salsas to choose from for topping. Prices are more than competitive, service is fine (they usually arrive at my table within 5 minutes), and very nice ambiance (definitely not a hole in the wall place).

I love Taco Joint. I eat here every week. The food is always fresh and delicious, portions are generous, prices are competitive and the service is great. Staff is friendly and helpful. It's always clean and plenty of parking. They offer a full menu, daily specials, plenty of seating inside or outside on the patio. Good location and one of the better "taco joints" around. If you haven't tried this place, then you're missing out. read more

This is a great fast casual place to grab a bite to eat. The decor of 80s posters and album covers gives you plenty to take in as you enjoy your meal. The counter service was friendly and the food came out fairly quite for a busy lunch time. read more

First time last time. Bug moving in wife's taco. Apologized but didn't seem to care or be surprised.

My husband had a dentist appointment down the street from here and we searched on my Yelp and this place caught our eye, cause who doesn't love some good tacos!? We walked in and we're instantly greeted by the guy behind the cash register. The place already had a few people in line and a couple tables already taken, which is a good sign for 1030 am. We took our time scanning the menu and decided on Dr. J's Chips and Queso (I think that's what it was called), 2 brisket tacos, 1 Spicy Fried Chicken Taco, and 1 Spicy Grilled Shrimp Taco. We made them 2 Taco Combo Plates which saves you a couple bucks and adds rice and beans plus a slice of avocado and some lettuce and tomatoes on the side and also a drink. We found our seat at the back where we could really enjoy all the decor and also be tucked away from the front. Not long after our chips and queso was brought out and maybe 3 min after that our main food arrived to our table. Definitely fast service. Now for the tacos, the brisket taco was good but it was missing some pizazz, not sure what but I would have loved some other goodies added to the straight brisket and corn tortilla, but it wasn't bad. But man oh man, the spicy grilled shrimp taco was soooo good! It was a flour tortilla stuffed with flavorful shrimp and all the goodies!! I'd definitely get it again! And the rice and beans were a great addition and really topped the meal off. We are always looking to going back soon to try some more tasty options. read more

My partner found this place and wanted me to try it. It's located right across from Flying Fish(another place I want to try). I ordered chips and jalapeño ranch, Friday special 2 fried shrimp tacos and tortilla soup. He ordered 1 grilled shrimp taco and 1 grilled fish taco(Cod). The person who rang us up wasn't very friendly, but maybe, he's not a morning person or going through something. My fried shrimp was ok, but I really liked the grilled shrimp one and also, I wish they use corn tortillas for tacos, but maybe, that's Tex-Mex way then? IDK. The tortilla soup was ok, but my partner liked it and I really liked the jalapeño ranch. It kind of reminds me of Fuzzy Tacos, especially inside. It was a good experience over all to be able to try it, so I could write a review about it. read more

Two stars because the breakfast tacos were decent. However, my salad for lunch was a disappointment. The fajita chicken in my salad was rock hard and probably yesterday's chicken (since I got it in the morning). It was so dried out that it was inedible. Waste of money! read more

The food was good the meat made the quesadilla a bit soggy but very yummy over all. The service was 10/10 the cashier was very kind and patient. The ambiance was calm and the joint had good music playing. read more

After a long and patient wait, Taco Joint in Plano is finally open!!! By the looks of the lines and filled tables in the dining room, I wasn't the only one who'd been ready for my favorite Lakewood neighborhood taco shop to arrive closer to home. My running group regularly visits the Lakewood location and I love the neighborhood feel, casual vibe and really good food. I'm happy to report the Plano location delivers the same experience. Yes there are kinks in service and equipment they're still working out. They've been open less than two weeks as of the writing of this review. But those are so minor and everything else is so great that I can't take any stars away. * Breakfast tacos are epic. Have them. (And you can have them anytime of day because the breakfast menu never closes.) * There are daily lunch specials. * Get your own salsa from the 3-sauce bar. The tomatillo is my favorite. I can't wait for the trails to get connected once the Collin Creek development finishes. This will be a wonderful place to meet up with friends after a walk, run or ride. read more

The beef steak tacos were good but very greasy! The queso and the jalapeno dip were good!! The rojo salsa was kind of sweet or something strange. I didn't like it. The salsa and jalapeno dip was labeled as yesterday's day. I guess they don't make everything fresh each day?? read more

So me and the wife were out in Plano and had a few hours to burn so we decided to stop off at the taco joint. When we walked in, there was no line and we were able to order immediately. It took about 5 to 7 minutes for the food to come out. I had the picoso burrito combo with chicken and my wife had a brisket taco combo. I remember the burrito had chicken and cheese inside as well as onions and topped off with queso cheese. Your tortilla was pretty thick and hard, but the burrito was still pretty tasty. The Salsa bar was good too, try out that Jalapeño ranch. I would come back to try out more of their wide variety of tacos and salads. read more

The food isn't worth the price. With so many Tex-Mex places in the Dallas area this place does nothing to stand out from the crowd. Maybe this is the go to place after drinking when you don't mind what you eat. As others have stated, Taco Bell would be a better choice. read more

Had take-out--one order was left out; the big beefy burrito had very little meat Jalapeño ranch was good and queso was good. read more

First time at Taco Joint. We ordered 2 combos which came with a drink that we didn't need since we ordered adult beverages. I recommend ordering a la carte. Service was pretty fast too. They did get my order wrong which I didn't really notice until it was too late. I actually liked what I got better. So all good. Nice place with an outdoor patio in back overlooking the parking lot. Great addition to the area. read more

Late Tuesday evening supper. Great service and friendly staff. My date got the fish tacos. Contrary to other reviews, the fish was seasoned and requested corn tortillas were warm. Nothing jaw dropping but they were good. I had the chicken taco salad. Bag lettuce or not, I have no idea. Overall it was good. Avocados were fresh. Habanero ranch has a definite kick. Watch out. Chips and queso were solid. Overall decent meal. read more

I was finally able to try this place out last week, overall it was pretty good. I got two crispy tacos which were good on flavor but the shell was thin and broke with one bite. I honestly didn't mind it much and just broke it on my bowl and ate it that way but that might be a problem for others. They have a wide variety of salsas, extra spicy ones if you ask for it too. Not pictured is the beef street taco which was just ok, not great. read more

The place is great on top of a green space to enjoy! The brisket taco was very good and the eggs they use are real eggs and not fake like McDonald's. I also love the coffee they use, it's not burnt tastes like Starbucks. I'm done with Starbucks and will be going here for my coffee on the go. read more

Let me start off by saying HOLY COW THE FOOD COMES OUT QUICK! Never had that fast of service before, you would think that the food would be shit, but it's quite the opposite. Walking inside felt like I was on the pier in Galveston Tx. Loved the bass wall too and the tables and booths reminded me of an older restaurant from the 70's. Also gives off fishing with grandpa vibes. LOVE IT! read more

Great food and it's above Taco Bell by far and better than OTB as well I like the quality of meat and it's flavorful without any sauce. I like the queso but not sure the price is worth it. Honestly, I Doordash weekend go to now. read more

Taco Bell Quality for 2x the Price First, the service was not great. The guy who took our order seemed pissed off at something that occurred before we got there. I knew this was going to be disappointing when I tried their red salsa. It tastes just like the salsa at Chili's - bland, kind of sweet and mediocre. I tried the tomatillo salsa and it was just straight up green water. The fish taco had no seasoning and the lettuce was clearly from a lettuce mix bag that you buy at the grocery store. The sirloin taco tasted exactly like the beef tacos at Taco Bell. From the tortillas, the grocery store quality cheese and chunks of tomatoes... it is exactly what you would get from Taco Bell. We ordered two combos and it came out to $35 before tip. For that much, I could've gone to a gas station with better tacos or gone to Torchy's, Velvet Taco or even a Tex-Mex restaurant with better tacos. How this place is in business and consistently has four-star ratings are beyond me. But considering their demographic of folks posting the highly rated reviews, I guess it's not that confusing. If you're a fan of this food, I promise you'll get the same stuff at Taco Bell and it won't cost you as much. read more

My brother lives in Lakewood, and we've eaten at that location dozens of times. I was so happy when I drove by and saw a location a few mins from me in Richardson! The tacos are always incredible and taste so fresh. The staff is always friendly and VERY fast. The prices are all great, especially with the daily specials. This is my go-to spot now! read more

I like to rate these places against our favorite quick taco place, Torchys. Food- The tacos were good. I had 1 grilled chicken taco and 1 shrimp taco. The grilled chicken taco had a lot of lettuce...I mean a lot. The ratio of lettuce to chicken was pretty lopsided. The spicy shrimp taco was the better of the two by far. The taco had a ton of shrimp and all the spice was perfect. The chips and queso were the star of the meal without a doubt. This place has a ton of menu choices. In fairness, I probably didn't order their best menu items. Atmosphere- Nice comfortable atmosphere with plenty of seating and the music was good. Good vibes for sure. I want to mention that the staff were really nice and helpful. Price- The prices are about what you would expect from a place like this. 4 tacos/queso/margaritas =$36 Conclusion- Taco Joint isn't as good as Torchys IMO but a little less expensive and close to home for me. I would recommend that you look over the menu a little more thoroughly than I did. I'm sure that there is something on that vast menu that is fantastic. read more

WOW! Everybody came to Sun lunch. The place was packed with friends and families. Lucky to find an open table. We were close to register and could see the staff working fast and furious to get the orders taken and out right away. Prompt cleanup of tables to make way for next party. read more

Just ok- please put someone on the register thats not afraid to speak to grown ups. I like the inside with some interesting wall art. Spicy pork crispy taco was tasty. Grilled fish taco was terrible- looked like fish was nuked- no flavor no grill marks. Wife got Big B burrito and it was almost all beans- maybe thats what the B stands for? Queso was good and chips were good. Overall- nobody would come here but for the good location next to rodeo goat. read more

Good food. Some where between fast food & sit down restaurant. Service was great. Will be back. read more

What works: Restaurant is clean. Ordering is simple (at the counter). Food was quick (but the place could only be more empty if it were closed). What doesn't: The food. This place makes cold mashed potatoes exciting. Even the chips & salsa are bleak... Ambiance? None. Verdict: Need a Taco Joint? Go to Taco Cabana. read more

Been waiting for months for this to open. Service was super friendly and restaurant was clean. The food however was a huge disappointment. We got the queso it was super watery and had no flavor. No spice and no real taste. The chips come dry no salt and no flavor. The tacos were good but the salsa was awful. The red sauce was sweet. No taste no heat. The green sauce was not any better. I understand you don't want full heat for the public but it's Mexican salsa and should taste like it. read more

This place just opened right by us so we were excited to try it. Have to say that it did not disappoint. We went on Sunday evening and 6:30. Friendly service. Got our food super fast. Ordered brisket nachos, the Lester taco and chips &queso. Everything was great! Love the salsa bar with 3 choices: red, green and (my fav) jalapeño ranch. Prices were very reasonable too! We will definitely be coming again...and often! read more

The food was not good at all. The street tacos were so greasy and the food was just horrible. The service wasn't that bad. I'm not sure how this place was ranked 3.9. read more

Street tacos are excellent. Didn't have the sack to try the Delta Force sauce but the verde has a nice kick - I'll be back

We saw this place near the Rodeo Goat, which was full, and thought we would try it. Everything was very good. The service was order at the register and wait for delivery. It was fast, friendly and efficient. The tacos were very good as were the quesadillas. Will certainly be back but now we see they put one closer to home in Wylie. Both have great music memorabilia on the walls and ceilings read more

The people at Taco Joint were really nice. We hoped for a nice experience but it was not to be. To begin with we placed our orders at the counter ( it is a taco joint) and used a coupon to get a free Dr. J's chips and queso. (Reg $6.19). We ordered the Spicy grilled shrimp taco, and the Grilled fish taco each. We asked that he replace the flour tortillas with corn. Now maybe this was our mistake- but seriously???!!! First the tortillas were served with corn tortillas that were not cooked at all. Not warmed, grilled,heated in in way whatsoever, albeit they did put two on each taco. I suppose to hold together better. You would think they could have easily been thrown on the grill with shrimp or fish - which brings up another problem. Neither the shrimp or the fish appeared or tasted grilled at all. No marks, not browned, blackened, stripes, or anything to suggest they had ever touched any sort or grill. Much less taste like it. They appeared and tasted as if they might be sautéed or boiled. The fish. No marks or sauce. Topped with salad mix - is just that - chunks of salad mix. We did not like or eat either taco. We ate little bits and pieces wit a fork- the tortillas were inedible. The fillings just gross when added to it. Now to the chips and queso. It is the only thing we ate some of. We left hungry. The chips seemed straight out of a bag. Not a good brand at that. The queso was good. We did like the queso. I might have loved it if everything else wasn't so bad The atmosphere well cafeteria style seating. Light and bright with lots of windows. The music was a little loud for my taste but not too bad. My husband and I had tried their breakfast a few months back. I wasn't impressed but neglected to write a review. It was just a taco joint I would have given 3 stars then. Now, I won't be back. Lesson learned. Yuck read more
