Understand all the random changes for all the particular eaters in our different homes. From changing up the value menu to the luxe box. Feels like there is no part of our order not personal these days. Thanks for always stepping up to that. My son lives for the nacho fries. If he won't have anything else I know he will eat that.“

“This Taco Time is the BEST!! I always order 3 hard shell tacos with meat & cheese ONLY & it is always filled with meat & cheese to the top other places give a very little amount of cheese & EVETYTHING is fresh. I live in Chicago now but came home in 2018 & got to Taco Time when they were closing they stayed open for us & made it very pleasant for my boys who made a mess! I come home every year & ALWAYS make it to the Olympia Taco Time!“

“food is DELICIOUS!!! I try something different every time I go and am never disappointed. the burritos..... delicious!! Tacos.... delicious!! Tortas..... you guessed it, delicious lol. Highly recommend. This place is just as good if not better than any other taco truck in lacey/Olympia“

“There's only one El Sarape left in town so we decided to try it. It is not only freshened up outside, it is beautiful inside. The menu is not as extensive as it once was but the food was excellent. Kevin had the Carne Asada Fries and I had Chicken Nachos. UPDATE when I saw the menu I thought "oh, another El Sarape gone modern like the one that used to be on Capitol in Tumwater" But this was different, both the interior and the food still had that mexican food appeal...in an upscale way. The salsa was not saturated with store bought hot sauce or taste tinny like canned tomatoes. And the food was fresh and tasty and did not need to be smothered with salsa for flavor. And for dessert we had the churro with ice cream. And again, I was impressed! I'm pretty sure the ice cream was home made, along with the warm crispy churro, so tender. Then there was the small amount of caramel sauce. We didn't need more, it was rich and thick and creamy and tasted of rum. To top it all off, the bill was less than $60. Now that's hard to find these days, especially with quality food. And the staff was warm and friendly.“

“Great food, reasonable prices, creative dishes. I would definitely recommend this food establishment.“

“We do girls nights at West Side El Sarape on a monthly basis. Last night, the chicken was dry in the fajita salad that I ordered. Definitely over priced for a typical salad and some chicken. My bill was $61 after ordering 1 drink, fajita salad and to hold off on the order to go, fajita quesadilla. Instead, she brought it to the table a good hour before we left and said its still warm. She never asked if I was ready to have it made or even leave. When I got home, the to go order was not what I requested, instead, fajitas. Very over priced and disappointed. Did price changes happen on the menu that do not reflect online menu?“

“They have amazing tacos, and the service is always top-notch definitely one of my favorite places to get tacos from“

“Its a little taco truck in Littlerock Washington. Very good authentic Mexican food. My husband had the lingua burrito and I had the tacos. The lingua wasn't tough or chewy and the tacos had the right amount of cilantro on it. It wasn't overwhelming. Just really good food at a reasonable price.“

“Amazing tacos!!!! 🌮 Great service!“

“I mean it's an OG Taco Time and if you know anything about TTNW you know how good their food is. I love being able to order through the app & earn rewards. The limited time spicy tots are phenomenal with ranch too. Highly recommend. I like this location too because it's kind of tucked back from the traffic & chaos on the main road, with easy ways to get in and out of their lot.“

“I absolutely love coming here to buy my meats, home made salsa that they make from scratch and any ingredients I need to make for lunch/dinner. I always buy some of their imported snacks…

The cashiers are always friendly and so is the butcher.

They do charge a fee to use credit or debit. But I don’t mind supporting this small business.“

“Absolutely the best Mexican food in Thurston County.“

“We came 30 minutes before closing. Nathan was so nice and helpful. Made the best quesadilla we’ve ever had, and was so helpful on suggestions. We’ve seen him before and he always just goes above and beyond. Our food turned out great. So excited to have fresh food options on this side of hawks prairie.“

“You make the best lingua and tripa tacos EVER! Gracias!“

“As always I really enjoy eating at this chain of taco truck. The chicken tacos I had were delicious as always the corn tortillas could have been a little more moist they were dryer than normal however is was a very tasty meal. Love California Tacos!!!!!“

“I got three tacos: chorizo, carnitas, and pastor. All three were good and nothing was dry. The carnitas had something about it that reminded me of Thanksgiving turkey... maybe sage? It wasn't bad but it's definitely distinct from other food trucks.“

“Absolutely the best Mexican food in Thurston County.“

“What a Taco Truck!Highly recommend trying ‘Loco Burrito’. Beefy and big sized, sometimes it lasts a day for me!Staff are friendly, priced reasonable. Condiments are readily available.The morning menus are quite awesome, too. American style with slight hint of Mexican flavoring!“

“With the atmosphere of the Farmers Market as the backdrop and live music by Mark Iler, sitting in the warm sunshine and enjoying the tasty taco perfectly prepared—not much more needs to be said, other than if you’re looking for food, there are many excellent choices at the Market. And if you’re tasting Mexican food, here it is! Go try some!“

“I did a late night drop off of a car at a co-worker's house and had an hour left to get home. With a trailer, fast food was not am option, so I whipped into the parking lot near this truck about 10 minutes before 9. They were starting cleaning, so I went to turn around and they ushered me up enthusiastically. I grabbed a Carnitas Burrito Supreme and gobbled it up in the truck. Great size for the money, meat portion was awesome. The carnitas was flavorful; sweet with some good spice (weak taste budded white guy here, so take that for what it's worth). I got a little ahead of myself wharfing this thing down and destroyed a brand new Carhart shirt spilling the juices all down the front. Zero complaints and worth the price with the shirt factored in.“
