Taco Bueno

My first trip to a taco bueno will also be my last! It was 8:30 in the evening but that’s not midnight! The following was absolutely terrible! The food was cold and nothing upsets me more than paying my money for hot food and getting what I got! You dropped the ball big time with me! You should be ashamed for even selling food like that! No return trip and no stars for you! I gotta give you a star or it won’t post!

Skip this place for breakfast. On a recent visit they had no breakfast brisket tacos, were out of salsa verde, and had no diet sodas. The filling for the egg and cheese burrito was ok, but the flour tortilla wasn’t warmed and had a salty, chemical aftertaste. Taco Cabana is so much better for breakfast. The regular menu is slightly better and for this reason I give them two instead of one star.

Not bad for a taco place. My favorite is the Tortilla Soup. It was not on the menu board, but they did seem to be able to thaw some out for us when we ordered it. Very casual, was updated a few years ago. We keep it as a staple since it is near our house. Even though I place it in the fast food category, I go in a sit down to eat.

Yep, I’m a «Bueno Head», I admit it. My wife and I stopped in for a quick lunch. Today the staff wasn’t doing too good a job keeping their act together. Service was OK but not up to the par I’ve received in the past. All of our food was good and served hot.

CHEAPEST SEASONAL DEAL.
(Avoid the breakfast)
BTW, this location could use a little cleaning up in the front (on the grassy area). There was enough garbage around for me to see it easily.
The prices for the platters are so good to begin with, but $ 2.99 for a platter during promotional times is ridiculous.
How they’re making a profit during these times, I don’t know?

One Taco Bueno is just like any other Taco Bueno right?
Nope. Let me explain.
Ever been to a McDonald’s and the fries were either overly salted or under salted, but another location (or the same location at a different time) has perfectly seasoned fries.
It’s weird isn’t it? The other food is soo… consistent till you get to that little inconsistency.
Anyhow, the same can be said about Taco Bueno and it has to do with their Guacamole and Chips (though I’ve had bad rice /​beans a few times — but rare)
So I’ve implemented a scale on the top of the review. If I get bad brown slimy Guac or rubbery old chips then I’ll mention it (and doc a star).
If it’s good, then they gain my love and get a star back.
(G) — for good /​great

BTW, don’t eat the breakfast @ Taco Bueno. It’s tempting since the meals taste good, but I’ve never had a good breakfast at any location. AVOID.
