Fresh hot potatoes and just enough seasonings on them

Best breakfast burrito in town.

For the past few months I have been going to Taco Johns a couple times a week at around 630 am, right when they open. I order the same thing every day, a taco bravo and two bean burritos. I've done this at 3 different locations throughout Des moines (Grand Ave, merle hay, and Hubbell Ave). This morning I found myself near this particular taco Johns. I went to order my food and was told I wasn't allowed to do that, because it was breakfast only. I mentioned that I do this quite regularly, and the guy said basically that I couldn't be accurate because corporate policy says I can only order breakfast food between 630 and 8. Why exclude 1.5 hours of the day? Why serve bean burritos at 8 am, but not 630? I assume that this 1 out of 4 restaurants I've been to was in the wrong. But thanks for ruining my morning anyway.

Lukewarm meat. RUDE girl preparing food. Nice guy at the counter. Dirty greasy counter. Won’t be back. 3 stars is generous only because Taco John’s is my favorite

Back in the early 2000s I worked for Taco John's corporate for a few years. When I moved to an area where they don't have these, I always make a point to stop and eat at one if I am traveling. Back then we were meticulous. I know that they have changed almost all of the top people now, and that this location is a franchise and not owned by the company, but I was disappointed by a couple of very noticable changes. No salsa bar? No super hot sauce, roasted red chipotle, Pico de Gallo, just packets of hot sauce? No olives on the super potato? No bringing my food to my table? As for this location I stopped for lunch off the highway today. I'll say that the potatoes seemed over-seasoned, and the meat and potato burrito had an awful lot of lettuce on it. None of this is too bad. Service was fast and friendly. Bathroom was immaculate. Lady at the register tried to upsell me twice, and when I didn't want a beverage she offered me a free water cup. Doing everything the way we use to. Taco John's has always been more expensive, but you get what you pay for. This one is pretty good, but I wish they had that super hot sauce.

The staff that work here aren't the brightest bulbs. Totally butchered my order. They actually did me a favor, because I just threw it in the trash, and they gave me a reason to quit eating fast food.

I was in a hurry to feed the family, so I bought the Six Pack and a Pound deal and made the family happy. The potato oles are delicious with or without cheese sauce. As a child, I used to want the oles with cheese, but now I can take it or leave it. The tacos are always delicious. I'd prefer that they had Coke products rather than Pepsi products. The customer service was excellent and so was the food. The restaurant looked clean both inside and outside. I recommend this location.
Have to go back for an 8th time this month to get the correct order. I ordered same thing every time. They can’t read the register and the order screen.

Beef nacho crunch burrito tasted like old grease, potato oles were soaked in grease. Both were inedible. Food is usually good at this location but super disappointing today.
