Taco Time

This place does not exist any more. Its closed.

I’ve eaten here a few times and had mixed feelings about it.
The staff was ridiculously slow to prepare our food the first time we went and they got my order wrong. I paid extra for «mexi fries» with the works on it and they only gave me reguar ones — this is one of my biggest pet peeves seeing as how your PRIMARY job is to prepare my order and do it right. It was okay food, about par with taco bell.
However, I went back recently on a weekend when I was working and not much else was open and got great service. I had their taco chicken salad and was really impressed and I’ve been back and ordered it again since. First, the salad was huuuuuge. And they put some mixture of onions and tomatoes or something else with yummy mexican spices onto the salad and that made it for me. The taco shell was nicely cooked and the chicken was tender and well spiced. I wouldn’t recommend it for anything other than lunch on a workday (not worth going out of your way for) but if you’re in the area and you don’t want subway, its an okay option.

Taco time! That is pretty much the only good thing that comes out of this restaurant. It’s pretty much just like Pauly D yelling T-​SHIRT TIME! Except that you yell TACO TIME!!!
Ok. Onto the review. A friend took me here. Took one look at the pictures on the menu and did not like what I saw. The pictures of the food made the food look extremely artificial. Well. Figured I’d give it a shot seeing how I was already here and my friend apparently like it here. Well. I’m not really a big hard taco fan so I opted for the soft beef taco and 2 chicken tacos. I do have to say that the pictures look better than the actual food does. Actually, the pictures make the food look so much fresher than the heap of mangled yellow lettuce and soggy tomatoes looked. One bite was all I lasted before this taco went straight to the garbage.
Next up … the 2 chicken tacos. Decided I would pick away the lettuce and focus my energy on the actual chicken. Put enough hot sauce on this taco burn my stomach lining out. Only thing is, I don’t think my stomach could handle the nasty taste of the food going down.
Ugh. No thank you.

**CLOSED**
What Randy said but I’m giving this an extra star for their 5 tacos for $ 5 deal. You can choose beef or veggie in the soft or hard taco form. You can mix it up anyway you want. It’s cheap eats you might want to slam before a Saturday movie at the AMC Dundas.
I’m not sure what the gimmick is with making the taco in front of you. It’s not like, say, Subway or Harvey’s where you get some sort of choice. The taco is pretty much just some ground beef, one small part of a tomato, lettuce. Oh wait you get a choice between spicy or mild sauce. Probably should have gone with the spicy. The mild is really mild. Taco Bell’s mild sauce still has a little zip to it.
Taco Time can be found in the basement of Atrium on the Bay.

Think Taco Bell with a different name, and you’re pretty much there. Unlike Taco Bell, they actually prepare stuff in front of you — but the taste is about the same, quality is similarly low, and there’s still that damned sour cream caulking gun.
As with Taco Bell, though: Dr. Pepper from a fountain. Mmmmm…
I don’t think I’d come back if given the opportunity — Chipotle is much tastier and just a few minutes away walking.
