    I am not a fan of Taco John's and my last visit a couple days ago is definitely why. I've only eaten at any Taco John's a couple times, I like Taco Bell more, I just do. My wife loves Taco Johns though. We stopped by and ordered some items to go, the cashier, who was nice, asked us two-three times if it was for there or to-go. We said to-go and that we were still looking at the menu and we'd let her know when we were ready. She asked again if it was for there or to-go, a little annoying. My wife and I ordered our food and grabbed our number and waited for our food. We waited about 5 minutes or so, the wait wasn't long at all, and the lady comes out with our food on a tray, and asked if it was to-go and I nodded and she went back and put our food in bags. After being asked so many times if it was for there or to-go, I assumed that they knew, but not a huge deal. We checked our bags for the items, all was there, so my wife and I went home. After eating my fish taco, I opened up one of my other items, an almost $4 crispy chicken and potato burrito. I opened it up and it was beef, gross. I called TJ and after ringing about 15 times, someone finally picks up the phone. I let them know what happened and they asked me to go back. Such an inconvenience since I was already in 'home-mode' with my jammies. I drive to TJ and let them know what happened. They kind-of apologized and I received my burrito after another 5 minutes of waiting. They made other people's orders first and then they started on mine; I think they should have made my single burrito a priority, but evidently not. After the wait, they gave me what I initially ordered with no incentive at all. No free drink, no free potato ole, nothing. For the trouble, time, and gas that I had to spend to drive all the way back, I wasn't fishing for anything, but I assumed that they would at least offer, but nothing at all. Bad customer service. With this experience, and for the sheer fact that I think their food is crap, besides their potato ole's which are awesome, I won't be coming back to Taco John's.

    It is what it is, man. I'd much rather eat Taco John's Super Burrito than Taco Bell. Bottomless refills and a Salsa bar.

    I've been coming to this TJ's for a while now. It happens to be my bestie go-to spot and I'm usually dragged here whenever we hang out. Their food (taco and potato oles) are always tasty. I haven't ventured out too much at this location, but one time I got the super potato ole and it was just a mess of food that I wouldn't get again. This is a good place to go for quick Tex-Mex.

    I love Mexican food and I love Taco John's. I especially like their breakfast burrito (i get the one with bacon). This location is clean, employees friendly and good reliable food.

    Taco Johns is far superior to Taco Bell in every way. While I cannot say what Taco Bell does and does not do, this fast food restaurant makes their own shells in house and serves up a taco meat that has so much more flavor than its competitor. Beyond simply the tacos alone, Taco Johns has something the bell cant touch: the potato oles. These are little round fried potato things that look like what you might imagine a tater tot would look like if it were cut in half. The seasoning, while probably nothing more than a standard seasoning salt, really goes well with them and ties it with the flavor of the tacos as well. The only con is that you will end up spending more here for tacos than at the bell, but it is not that much more at all. While taco tuesdays no longer give you two tacos for a buck, they are still at a reduced price of 69 cents (and they are well worth it!)

    even though taco bell was the beginning of my mexican food experience, save for the tacos we had at home with old el paso taco shells, this is my favorite mexican fast food place. usually it's the chicken softshell taco and the potato oles (mmmm ... potato oles) for my fix. too bad taco johns hasn't moved to the west coast.

About Taco Bell

Taco Bell is a haven for Mexican delicacies such as tacos, quesadillas, burritos, nachos, and other specialty items. Owned by Yum! Brands, Inc. Taco Bell is one of the fastest growing American chains of fast food restaurants. The restaurant operates from 7,072 different locations which are mostly run by independent franchisees and licensees.

The background story of Taco Bell is interesting and inspiring for budding entrepreneurs. The fast-food brand is the brainchild of Glen Bell, who started his first food venture as a hot dog seller in San Bernardino, California. The year was 1948. After witnessing long queues outside a Mexican restaurant called Mitla Café across the street, Bell saw the opportunity and demand for hard-shelled Tacos. He reverse-engineered the recipe and later started selling Tacos and called the venture Taco-Tia.

Later, the name changed from Taco-Tia to El Taco. Eventually, Glen Bell sold the company to his partner and opened the first Taco Bell in Downey in 1962. By 1964, the restaurant also got its first franchise in Torrance. The 100th Taco Bell restaurant was opened by 1965. PepsiCo acquired Taco Bell from Glen Bell in 1978 and the restaurant brand is currently a subsidiary of Yum! Brands which looks after the restaurant business of PepsiCo.

Mexican Cuisine

If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.

Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.

Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.
