I worked at the Carey Ave. location when in high school. (many many moons ago) We attended trainings and held staff meetings often! We had a manager, Andrea Zakis, I'll never forget her, she was great at her job. Some staff disliked her, which meant that she was doing her job.
I only worked part time and overtime when available. I did this because I was young and needed the money but not only that, working there was fun!!!!
I got my best friend a job there and the shenanigans sky rocketed!!! 😆 Our cooks were amazing and the rest of the crew was fun too! It was a great time in life!
But here's the meat and potatoes! Our trainings were effective! The staff washed hands before food prep, after cleaning, after breaks, after taking out the trash, before and after helping detail staff with details! One 1 or 2 of the crew would have to be reminded on occasion but we knew who to keep an eye on. 👀
My grandma worked for a grant funded service that's known as Cent$ible Nutrition, today. It went by a different name previously. I learned about cleanliness, safe food preparation and how to cook! She taught cooking classes to families in their homes and taught a class to kids in an after school program. I knew how to work in the food service industry, I was prepared for it at a very young age, that's where I was going with this information. I sure do miss those days!
Fast forward to today, very little of these things apply today! What I've seen at several TJ locations, is messy eating areas, unfriendly staff, code violations, wrong food orders, careless preparing, understaffing, and I could go on but I like TJ's and I would just like to see overall improvement.
Some of this is NOT the corporations fault, being short staffed is a huge problem, folks don't want to work nowadays. COVID made people lazy. The folks that DO get hired may not be the best person(s) for the job, in many ways, but I'll spare the details on that. It's just tougher today to get good help or just help in general. And times changed. It's will never be the same.
I recommend the Carey Ave location! I go there often because it's right by my place of employment with the Wyoming State Government. They're clean, continuously keeping it clean, the service is great, their manager IS managing and that is most excellent! Friendly staff goes a long way and I wish the South Greeley folks would get it together.
But for now, I will continue to keep supporting the business. The food is good and it's enjoyable. Taco John's is Iconic! Legendary! And the only place to get it is here!! It all started here! I LOVE THAT about this restaurant! I still love it to this day. Now, Taco John's, please please please bring back the ORIGINAL Chicken Sierra AND the Cream Cheese Flauta. Okay, and the Cherry 🍒 Flautas too!!! 😆 Please and Thank You! 😊
Parking: Plenty of handicap parking and conveniently located close to the entrance.
Kid-friendliness: Yes. Kids menu available but no entertainment for kids.
I love Taco Johns. Rarely, very rarely, I have gotten very old or over done oles, and once the breaded chicken in a wrap was awful, YET - 90% of the time their food has been delicious! I only eat TJ as a fast food Mexican place... TB is awful, IMO.

Great experience! Everyone was super friendly and my orders are always correct. The girl that took our order even brought the tray to our table. Whole store is very clean as well. OMG you have to try the new apple grande or the churros for dessert YUM. And the white queso is back to! Casey the general manager was super nice and accommodating as well! Will be returning very soon.

I had an amazing visit through the drive-thru. I was actually asked if I wanted my burrito grill. Didn't know that was an option but I was glad to hear that drive-thru personnel went above and beyond to ask extra questions. Great job to the employees and management at this location.

I recently visited this taco johns and had a frustrating experience at the drive-through. The staff member was overly eager to upsell, interrupting me before I could finish my order. This made the whole process feel rushed and unpleasant. I appreciate enthusiasm, but I would prefer a smoother and more attentive ordering experience.

Haven't had taco John's in a few years, decided to get the six pack and a pound, the tacos were so much better than taco bell, I doubt I'll ever go back to taco Bell when taco John's has more meat in their tacos.

This trip at Taco John's was definitely not a great experience. I have been here several times before and have had good food and service. They dropped the ball preparing my food this time though and I got a little extra...
THE APPLE GRANDE IS BACK!!!! LOL 🍎😁
