Best Taco John's is in Ames Iowa folks. If you are in Ames going to an ISU game, stop and grab a soft shell beef taco. You won't regret it, and it's not even expensive $2!!!
May 2025
I hadn't been to Taco John's in many years and I was pleasantly surprised by the experience. The manager was very nice and took time to explain different menu options. And for fast food it was good!

I really like the food so it hurts me to write this. However, every time I have visited, a certain member of the staff has been very rude and passive aggressive. We've been yelled at multiple times. Even when our order was handed to us wrong, he would make it so it was our fault. I just know if I see John H. working, I will just have to brace myself for what will inevitably come. Food's good though.
