“Under new ownership. I ate there with my wife, and my son and his wife. The food and service are excellent, everyone at the table agreed. We all had different dinners, a lot of depth in the menu. The guacamole is absolutely great. I can’t wait to try their food with Margaritas as well, we had flavored tea in the interim. A lot of restaurants are noisy inside yet this was not the case here. Next time we will try eating outdoors.“

“We are originally from Oklahoma and Texas where authentic Mexican food is normal. We were told that real Mexican food didn't exist here. It does now.

Whether it's the authentic red sauce, the fabulous hot salsa, or the (off the menu) chillaquilles, if you don't want Midwest Mex, California Mex or Tex Mex, you will enjoy the food.“

“Osorio's catered our wedding and it was one of the major highlights of the day. Guests are still talking about it weeks later! They made the food tasting a fun experience, there's so many great options for catering - we went with the taco buffet - you can customize however you'd like, and they're a wonderful, professional team. We were originally drawn in by the amazing food truck offerings, and they absolutely blew us away with the catering. Seriously delicious food!!!“

“Wasn't very busy maybe two cars when was parked and the other was leaving. Food was freshly made. Olies were perfect. Not to much seasoning and were also fresh. Soda carbonation was 💯. Wasn't a single employee just standing around doing nothing. That also was good to see. Cashier was polite and helpful. I'm definitely talk quietly if she couldn't hear me for nothing so she just told me to pull up to the window. Which helped immensely. Probably one of the best meals I had there. Was a chicken soft shell taco with a special sauce and had Pico mild sauce lettuce and cheese. Way to go Emily!! Your employees were nice and helpful. Drive thru was clean snd really like the new sitting area you put in. Funny thing is. I was one of the Managers at Larry's Piggly Wiggly. Best part was none of them knew me and I didn't know them. I'm very honest about customer service and presentation. I've been saying customer service etc since before covid/pandemic started. Has gone down the tubes immensely. Customer service especially. I didn't start eating back out till about a year ago. Like to see people cook my food. Let me see you not wash your hands or use gloves when you make my food. I would not do anything or say anything to embarrass the person but I would pull you to the side and tell you. Your hands are filthy and if you're handling money it's even worse. Your fingernails alone. WHOLE lot of stuff you don't even see. The money part is disgusting. Money actually has bugs/germs all over. I've seen Ppl not wash their hands after they go to the bathroom and then go make food 🤢🤮🤢🤮.
So this visit at Taco John's was excellent 5 out of 5 stars is what I'm rating them at 💯“
