Taco John’s

I like Taco John’s a lot. At least, for fast-​food, anyway. Their food is unique (taco ingredients on tater tots? Yes, please!).
However, this particular location really turned me off. The dining room was not clean and there was peeling wallpaper with lots and lots of black mold growing — RIGHT next to a table. Disgusting.

Always on the lookout for a Taco Johns since I moved from Indiana. However, unlike the One Ring, some things should have been forgotten and lost. Either quality has gone down or my tastes have improved. The mold in the corner wasn’t particularly encouraging that’s for certain.

Stopped here just passing through. It was clean inside with seven bathrooms and tasty food (for fast food Mexican). I had the cheese quesadilla and my friend, who is gluten intolerant, had the burrito bowl. They were helpful in ensuring us the bowl was gluten free and even double checked on the internet.

Nothing beats Taco John’s for a quick Mexican style meal. Their super nachos are terrific and they will make them to order, so you can add extra ingredients or eliminate ingredients at your delight. I’m a local so I’ve gone through their drive-​thru and eaten inside the restaurant on numerous occasions. I’ve never been disappointed. The only issue I have is their drive-​thru is in a place where it stops traffic on a main thoroughfare through that side of town. However, I don’t know how else they could have put one in, so I can’t complain too much since I do like using it!

Taco John’s! The mythic, legendary fast food joint! Okay, this review is really based on a location in Clarksville, TN that looks like it is closed now. I haven’t been there in years, but it is very high on my list of fond memories of places that I would love to re-​visit when I get the chance.
Okay, as far as the food goes — great tacos and burritos — fast food style, ya’ know? Eat as much as you possibly can drenched in their hottest hot sauce they have. Drive-​in or dine-​in. GREAT!!!
I remember there was a Galaga table top video game in their foyer. I loved that classic combo of tacos and 1980’s video games.
Of course, any mention of TJ’s must include the obligatory head nod to the greatest thing to ever happen to a potato: The Potato Oles! ha! It is a funny name for what most other places call tator-​tots. Check in to Burger King breakfast to find out what you are missing. That being said, I would not place an order at Taco John’s without ordering some potato oles. Why? Just for Fun!
