“Louis was an amazing server we came in with 14 people did not call ahead and we still got out with an hour. He rocked keeping a positive attitude and had us out within an hour, even with single checks for everyone.”

“Authentic street tacos! Quality meat, full of flavor, portioned perfectly. In town from ATL, have been looking for good tacos in Saint Jo and FINALLY found them! This place is a gem. I tried the steak and pork tacos, incredible flavor and loved the toppings/sauce counter! My kids had an actual authentic chicken quesadilla, was happy to taste test and see it wasn’t bland. They loved it! Highly recommend”

“This would be some of the better Mexican food in the upper Kansas/Missouri area. Comfortable, clean little place with a Mexican restaurant feel. We were from CA and Mexican food is pretty abundant there. This place came closest to what we are used to. Chips are light and paired with a not bad salsa. We added the pico de gallo to the salsa, and that perfectly matched! Carne asada was a bit dry, but has just enough seasoning to qualify as Mexican. Guacamole was spot on. Chunky, fresh, seasoned. And horchata was real and had the right amounts.”

“This is a better Taco Bell! I’m visiting here as I work here a lot however they are better then the one I gave a 1 star too! Even the manager at the other location who just hired a employee should be fired. Hands down this is the best one.”

“I didn't catch the name of the cashier when I picked up my order but whoever was at the window on 12/4 at 4:30ish was absolutely amazing not only were they kind and fast but after several times in a row going to taco bell it meant id get no sauce if I didn't check the bag and seem rude asking for it. Today they counted the exact amount I asked for and they deserve a raise for going above and beyond amongst their peers.”

“Wow, what an excellent experience I had at this taco bell! Went in a group of 20 and safe to say the hospitality and accommodation were top notch. The food was spectacular and when we were finished an employee came and grabbed our trays for us. It was awesome”

“It was much better, I hadn't been to this location for over a month. This time the manager who has been the manager for 25 yrs was working the drive thru, it was fast and good service and the food was good. Last time there was some young kids shenanigans at the drive thru, and they threw my food thru the window and hit my car with it. Unacceptable.”

“Wife and I both got burritos and they were amazing per usual. The new chicken al pastor is my all time favorite so far! I hope they permanently add it to the menu! My only complaint is that the chips are almost always stale. This is the only reason they didnt get a 5 start for food.”
