Taco John’s

I don’t hate this place. I promise you, I don’t. I just hate the fact that it’s so close to me and tempts me to visit every day with its delicious food even though I know I should be eating healthier. This restaurant is located inside a mini-​food court inside the Fort Knox mini-​mall. I had never heard of this chain before coming here, but apparently these fast food joints are nationwide and based in Wyoming. I really hope they open up more of them across the country because more people need to know what really good fast food is like!
The majority of the items on their menu are tacos and burritos that are under three dollars. All the ones I’ve tried are quite good. A little more expensive are the nachos, which come in a bowl and have dipping chips. Their tater tots are delicious, although they taste like they’re heavy in MSG. I suspect that’s the case with a lot of the food here. It’s addicting to the point where you feel guilty for eating it. I know the restaurant is popular with the people who live nearby because the barracks are just a few minutes’ walk away, but there’s never much of a line or a wait. Every once in a while, it’s nice to indulge yourself in food like this.

I love that there’s a Taco John’s that I can still go to after going to college at IU… although I’ve been told they shut that one down. Sounds like Fort Knox is it in this part of the country! The staff at this place rocks; they are friendly and get things taken care of super quick. They have specials Tuesday through Thursday, so that’s fun… my excuse every Thursday is that it’s Taco Bravo Day, so I have to go utilize the discount. Eating in is fine but I hardly ever do that because I’m constantly running around. It gets crazy during the lunch rush but other than that the wait isn’t typically too long. Breakfast is great, too! Part of my love of this place is college nostalgia but most of it is because the food is actually really tasty. The salsa bar is always fun to visit, even if they DID get rid of the pico de gallo. The hot sauce and super hot sauce are great!

Taco Tuesdays appears to be a big hit with a lot of the locals here.
