“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.“

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.“

“I've been going to Taco Johns for 25+ years
Foods good, fast, and you earn points to redeem free stuff.
Unlike taco bell when you order off the app, and you pull up to the window and they say they are only taking deliverys. But you already paid, and have to wait 5 - 7 business days to get your money back....
Its nothing like that
Never had any problems

Vegetarian options: If you dont want meat. Just say that

Dietary restrictions: Get a Salad

Parking: I only wish they had a larger drive thru. But. They are fairly quick. So no worries

Kid-friendliness: Always great kind people working. No matter what

Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs“

“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!!!“
