I had the sense to ask the man at the door what he would recommend for someone from out of town who wanted to leave with a good impression of their restaurant. He made three recommendations and the one I picked was spot on and delicious. My wife enjoyed her meal immensely as well.“

“We had Taco Zone cater our wedding in Kansas City and what I can say is HIRE THESE PEOPLE! They are so nice, down to earth and hard working. They will go above and beyond for you prior and on your day. I have nothing but wonderful and raving things to say about the staff at Taco Zone. It’s the talk of our friend group and work on how amazing the food was, which is always good to hear since wedding food is known for being average… but they were far from average. If you are thinking of booking them for your next event, take this as a sign to do it! Thank you again, we wouldn’t have wanted anyone else to serve our favorite people but TACO ZONE!“

“We have ordered takeout a couple times and the food has been very good! 👍“

“I had a taco salad. Pretty good, but the shell wasn’t crunchy. Chewy. Don’t know what that was about.“

“The cashiers at both locations are always so helpful and sweet! No rudeness when not ready to order and you can fill out their survey for a free churro on your next order! My favorite item is the potato oles and you can get cheese dip for it. I like to put the churro sugar on it as well. It’s so good!“

“I DoorDash so I get to see all the kitchens in Lawrence. Chipotle has the best workers. The head manager orchestrates deep cleans often. They handle rushes very professionalally and quickly.

Chipotle 23rd Street is example of excellent management and excellent workers.“
