“While I was getting a late night meal with my significant other, the guy at the drive through window said “if her mouth not full you’re doing something wrong “ implying sexual activity. When getting to the window proceeded to say that a women’s mouth should be full because “if they’re talking it’s just disrespectful “. I was extremely disgusted with this interaction.”

“It's our go to Mexican restaurant. We typically order the same thing. The service is wonderful, they even come chat at the table every time, not just ask if our food is alright. We get two salsas with our chips, and I swear our food is on the table before we are 1/2 way through the chips. This make for a great lunch time stop if you only have an hour. Keep up the good work El Mezcal!!!”

“Taco John’s has easily become one of my favorite fast food spots, and I honestly don’t think it gets enough credit. Every time I stop by, I leave full, happy, and already thinking about what I’ll get next time. The food is consistently good, and it always tastes fresh—which is saying a lot for fast food these days. First of all, the Potato Olés® are legendary. I don’t know what kind of seasoning they use, but it’s magic. Crispy on the outside, soft inside, and perfect with nacho cheese or their spicy salsa. I could eat a whole tray of them by themselves. They’re basically reason enough to go. The tacos are great too—simple, flavorful, and never greasy. I usually go for a taco combo or the Meat & Potato Burrito, which is super filling and always hits the spot. I’ve also tried their churros and breakfast items, and everything has been solid. Service is always quick and friendly, even during busy hours. I’ve never had an order messed up, and I appreciate that they take care to make everything fresh. The staff actually seem like they care, which makes the experience even better. Another big plus is the pricing. It’s super affordable for what you get, especially compared to other fast food chains. The Six-Pack and a Pound® deal is a steal if you’re feeding a few people—or just really hungry. Overall, Taco John’s is a reliable, tasty, and underrated gem. Whether you’re grabbing lunch, a late-night snack, or something quick on the go, it always delivers. I seriously recommend giving it a try if you haven’t already. Five stars, no question!”
