I showed up with my girlfriend and 3 of my friends at 7:30 today, got a seat and took 25 minutes to be met which is not an issue, this issue is with the gentleman that came to the table. He came with a giant attitude and you could just tell he was angry. We ordered our drinks, in which 30 minutes goes by. We have not received our drinks. When my girlfriend approached one of the staff they stated that the dispenser they use for mixed drinks were not functioning properly and the gentleman that was serving us was overwhelmed despite us being the third table to enter the establishment. The young lady my girlfriend approached offered a free round, and we waited 10 more minutes before packing up. I’ve been to Duff’s several times and have not come back to the new Taco Barn until today and will most likely not return if service is not transparent, communicative and friendly.

cute place and plenty of room but unfortunately sat for an hour only to not get served. was told our server was overwhelmed but we were the 3rd table in there when we arrived. was also told the reason we hadn’t gotten our drinks yet was because there was an issue regarding the dispenser or something? but we had to hear this from someone else, when our server could’ve easily come to our table and let us know they were having an issue. was my first time here and was super excited to try but unfortunately will probably not be back! the sister location camp nowhere is way better!

Went for dinner. Food was tasty, recommend the Big Mac tacos and birria tacos. Service was decent. Paper plates they gave us were tiny. Limes for the drinks were dried out. The major issue was with the writing all over the tables and booths— cool concept because they give markers for you to write with, but woah, we were shocked by some of the stuff written on them, like dirty and offensive. Our kids were with us (early dinner) and we had to keep diverting their eyes and covering the tables with menus. I’m not talking just curse words, I mean really dirty stuff that even made me cringe. Won’t be back, at least with the kids. Worth a try if it’s an adults only dinner, but don’t bring kids that can read.

This place was fun. I liked that they had wood everywhere and put sharpies out so that people could write as "decorations. " The drinks were well priced and the tacos were delicious. The waitstaff and bartender were amazing and so friendly!!!

Randomly stopped here on my way back home to Connecticut. Such an great little spot. Loved the atmosphere and the tacos were delicious. We had the pleasure of having Stacy as our server! She was absolutely wonderful and she definitely is 5 stars herself!

The waitress Stacy is pretty spry for being so decrepit. It's a shame she has to leave her walker in the back room. 10/10 would go again because of her. Food and drinks are great. The person that left a $20 tip on a $300 bill then left a one star review can suck it!

Food is good. Service, not so good. Waitress appeared as if she hated her job. Kitchen manager ruined our whole birthday evening. Will never go back.

We stopped by when we were passing through and it was amazing!!! Stacy was fantastic, helpful with the menu and giving recommendations along with her great personality! The food was delicious!! It's a shame there's just the location here, please consider opening up a Taco Barn in Arizona! Stacy said she would go and manage that location ;) such a great place!!!
