Taco Casa

We just relocated to Irving from the Mid-​cities and I’ve lived in Texas most of my life so Mexican fast food isn’t new to me. Taco Casa is though. I Unilocaled it one night when we wanted quick takeout and were tired of burgers and chicken. It got such rave reviews on Unilocal,I thought why not try it? The food is great and it’s made to order rather than sitting in a warming pan. The sweet tea is great. I’m not a big sweet tea drinker so I got half sweet and half unsweet. You get tons of meat and fillings and they don’t overdo the lettuce like most places, from what I can tell. I always get my items without lettuce. There’s something about the meat they serve, it’s flavourful, juicy and seasoned perfectly and I’m a picky PITA when it comes to meat. Try it, you won’t be disappointed!!! I get cravings for this place and I can’t say that about other local Tex-​Mex or Mexican food chains. Service is polite and quick.

I’m from Wisconsin, so fast food Mexican for me has always been Taco Bell. While on a business trip I stopped in Taco Casa and was hooked for life. It has become a required stop for me whenever I travel in Texas or visit my son in Norman, OK. This place blows the «Bell» off the map. The Chiladas are heaven!

The tacos are awesome but there’s always a long wait. Don’t expect speedy service. Waiting for 45 minutes for tacos is unacceptable.

Starting with the sweet teat — it’s the perfect blend AND it’s only $.99 for a super large cup. I like the orange straws, it’s the little things.
I’ve tried several items on their menu, but my favorite is the soft taco and the super taco.
If you’re a cheese lover, you’re going to love your tacos! Be sure to grab a few sauce packages, another plus!
The staff is friendly and they clean your table when you’re done. Oh, TVs in the seating area.
Enjoy!

It’s unusual to be able to rate a fast food place 4 or 5 stars but taco casa definitely deserves it! They keep it simple with their menu, it’s straight forward. My absolute favorite item is the tostada, nothing fancy at all but they pile on the topping and their hot sauce is so perfect!
You can tell their cheese is really fresh and it’s finely shredded, so easy to just eat on it’s own! And they have black olives! Basically, go give them a shot if you haven’t!

Always super clean and friendly.
Ok, so I’m not super big on fast food but I can’t lie, this is quietly one of my favorite places. All of their food is served à la carte. The tostadas and soft tacos are my favorite. Their sweet tea is to die for. Well, maybe not die but it’s really good! Their stores are always super clean, and they actually clear the tables for you! The staff is friendly and the handful of times I’ve had a long wait or a dissatisfactory experience, they always give you a coupon for your next visit!
So basically. Taco Casa is great. Get the sweet tea!

They have no sense of urgencys… there could be 4 cars in the drive-​through you’ll be in the drive-​through for 20 minutes… no one has time for that shit

I’m only giving this location 2 stars because the customer service is not good at all. My food set in the window while the drive thru worker continue taking orders. She did not acknowledge me make eye contact and it took her 5 minutes to give me my food.

You know… «Taco Casa» has a cheesy, simplistic name however the quality and taste is a bit unexpected, in (good) way.
It’s basically a simpler way to do «Taco Bell’ but the ingredients are MUCH more consistently fresh.
The Tostada is a nice selection that I highly recommend. Grab a few packets of hot sauce, pick up and DIG IN!

There are better Taco Casas out there in terms of service but as often as come here, I don’t think I’d be honest by only giving it 3 stars, because for me, even the worst Taco Casa is far better than the best Taco Bell or Bueno.
The food takes me back to my youth, before PepsiCo owned Taco Bell, when my mom would take me there to treat me to a taco and pintos with cheese. Fortunately, Taco Casa still has that tasty flavor from back in the day and I regularly crave a Super Taco and side of Frijoles! Typically they are incredibly generous with the cheese at Taco Casas and that definitely earns bonus points with me. The menu is simple with key ingredients being beef, beans or a combo of the two. Oh– and did I mention lots of cheese?
This location doesn’t earn the 5^th star I give the other locations I frequent though due to a few factors, most of which appear to stem from the fact that they are poorly staffed, either in numbers, quality of workers, or simply have bad management. The service tends to be very slow during peak times (I’ve waited 20 minutes in the drive-​through at 3 in the afternoon on a weekday) and the food is frequently thrown together haphazardly and a little chintzy on the fillings and toppings (this isn’t Taco Bell, guys!!). Unfortunately, it may be a product of its location, because I find those problems with several other chains in our area. This is so unfortunate, because I really want to be able to support local businesses, but I refuse to if they refuse to compete.
Speaking of location, that’s another downside for me. If I want to go on my way to work (in Dallas) I have to make sure I have enough time to go to MacArthur to U-​turn onto the frontage and then go all the way to Story to U-​turn to get back on the eastbound side of the freeway (why, Texas, just why??).
Finally, the hours. They say they are open until 10:30pm every day, but I’ve been by more than once when the lights were mostly out, the drive-​through closed and folks were cleaning up in the kitchen at 9:55 or 10:05. Again, management and staff issue?
The Euless location has never had any of these problems when I’ve gone (and I go a LOT), and they’re open until 11pm every night, so if I’m starting from home or if I’m westbound and it’s after 9pm when I get a craving, I just keep driving to Euless. If I’m heading eastbound and am on a schedule, I just wait until I get to Dallas and skip Taco Casa altogether… it’s a shame, really…

The food is good and the tacos have LOTS of cheese on them. Very tasty.
My only complaint is that the meat is VERY greasy. They do not adequately drain the grease out of the meat. By the time you get home the taco wrapping and the sack are saturated in grease.
I spoke to the manager about this but it never improved. The food is a little pricey (not cheap at all) compared to other fast food Mexican food, but portions are very good.

First Time here! It’s super packed! I’ve heard a lot of great things about this place! Can’t wait!
Wow, this place is super good! I ate my food in the car LOL… and then went back through the drive threw to get another burito for later… Please put one by my house. Its a true bang for the buck! You can not beat the quality, price, and freshness!!! A big fan!!!

I love this place. Everything on the menu is great and fresh. I haven’t had a bad meal or bad service here.

Everytime I drive by I have to stop. I LOVE the super nachos!!! My daughter always get the cheese nachos and sometimes a taco. I also love the super burrito with chips on the side and super taco. The sweet tea is great! I have had everything on the menu and you can’t go wrong stopping here

Think the world of fast food is a wasteland as of late? Well, don’t lose hope yet– Taco Casa is here to shatter your previous notions of what fast food has become. I cannot stress enough just how amazing this place is!
What impresses me most about Taco Casa is the food. It’s great quality and tastes REAL because it is REAL. Everytime I have ever eaten here, the food is always served hot, fresh and it’s made with care. I never have to order «extra» anything like I do at other places because they are very generous with the cheese and sauces. They have pictures of their menu items displayed, and in reality– the items look identical to the pictures. Can you really say the same for other fast food chains?
Going back to the taste of the food– it’s top notch. This is how fast food Americanized Mexican should taste. I stress «Americanized» because it’s an interpretation of what tacos and burritos are, so once you acknowledge that, it’s easy to see how Taco Casa effectively reigns supreme in that realm. They are not trying I be anything other than Americanized fast food, and they do it so well because they embrace that.
TC also takes great care in the presentation of the food. For example, if you order a burrito to go; they carefully wrap in and place it in a cardboard nacho trey so that the burrito does not leak in transit. How thoughtful is that?
The staff here is also fantastic. They are incredibly polite and diligent. The morale around here appears to be high, as everyone here always has a smile on their face and the dining area is always very clean and inviting.
They also do not skimp on things like sturdy drink cups. Far too often in this day an age, pretty much all fast food drinks arrive in flimsy paper cups. These TC drink cups are the real deal and the ice they use are the little rough cubes that in my opinion; are the best for effectively chilling drinks. I’m totally convinced there is a team of brilliant people making these decisions for TC, but ultimately, I bet they just use common sense and their gut to steer them in the right direction. They basically do everything right, and in this day in age it’s so rare to see an organization not compromising. I hope that whoever owns TC never sells it. I want it to always be this good.
I want to commend Taco Casa for not compromising. In an age where everything is all about economizing and substituting inferior components; TC is doing the opposite. They are making great food and are still able to offer the food at affordable prices. As long as they continue to do things in this manner, I know that there business will only continue to grow, and the legion of dedicated Taco Casaites like myself will only continue to increase.

It feels so weird giving a fast food place 5 stars! And I typically don’t eat fast food. But this is in a league of its own! I’ve passed by here several times and never even thought to try it. One of my GF’s friends was telling her about it in a random conversation so we decided to give it a try. We both were pleasantly surpised and impressed. This is no Taco Bell folks. This is just what you need when you crave a taco. It reminds me of a small family owned place in my hometown called Los Amigos. Very tasty and flavorful tacos. Loads of real, finely shredded cheese, lettuce and tomatoes. You won’t be disappointed. The menu is simple. All beef, no chicken. You can get tacos, taco salad, burritos. It’s that simple. And very good!

First time to Taco Casa. It’s your typical fast food restaurant. The food is a little salty but it’s not bad. It’s cheap so you can grab some of everything!
Staff is friendly and space is new and clean.

$.99 Sweet Tea amongst other goodies! The first time I had Taco Casa, I was visiting a friend in the country. This was the ONLY fast food joint in the area. I thought it couldn’t possibly be good. I was wrong! I became hooked on their Super Burrito instantly. It was just like my Mom made us when we were kids with black olives added in. The Super Taco is just as good with a light, crispy texture. The meat is flavorful and all the ingredients are chopped fresh daily. The taco sauce is tasty without overpowering the flavor of the meat. I thought I would never get to experience Taco Casa again because there was no locations in within a mile of civilization! Their locations are always on the farside! But alas, Taco Casa heard my stomach rumble and they answered the call with a new Irving locale. I have never been so happy to see a fast food joint since they opened the Del Taco came back! The portions are generous and you will always get a lot for your buck. Too bad they don’t stay open past 1100pm… great drunken night cuisine!

It tastes like real beef, pipping hot and topped with fresh tomatoes, crisp lettuce, sour cream and REAL Cheddar cheese. They don’t skimp on the toppings. The Lite taco was well worth my $ 2.69 and waiting a few extra minutes for it to arrive. I’ll see you in the near future Taco Casa.
