Taco John’s

Better than Taco Time or Taco Bell for absolutely sure. If you have a craving for Americanized Mexican this is the place to go to.
Everything is moderately priced (it’s more expensive than national chains but not OUCH expensive) and tasty. Hot food is hot and cold food is cold. They have lots of options for sauces and salsa and varying degrees of spice. The meat is actual meat as you can see the meat fibers so it does not appear to be processed fast-​foody meat.
The potato olé’s are really nice and seasoned with (I believe) seasoned-​salt. They are a great compliment to any meal and are wonderful when dipped in their hot sauce.
They also have hot, crispy, sweet and fluffy churros, something which Taco Time/​Bell does not seem to have year-​round.
Good food, good service and great memories considering how old this establishment is.

This has been my go-​to taco place since my childhood. Back then Taco johns was just a small shed with a grill that had walk up service inside a small enclosed area on the North side of the building. Since it was at the corner of my neighborhood, my dad would frequently use this option for dinner. I remember one time I wanted to try some of my dad’s green sauce. He let me and gave me fair warning about the heat. Snot couldn’t come out of my nose fast enough after a taste. Now I go there as an adult and am good for at least two servings from the salsa bar. Their taco meat recipe absolutely destroys any of the commercial chains and has been consistent for years. I think I need to go get some right now actually.

My family and I have been coming to this restaurant for years now.
There is a wide variety of awesome foods to choose from. So if you don’t like burritos then you might like the buffalo wings.
Service is always great especially for a fast food place.
They always have such great portions too they definitely don’t short you. Overall best American Mexican fast food in Spokane.

Will not be going back. Went in to try the street tacos added a burrito to the order BIG HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT! ! First by the price, too much. Then the portion of meat, too small. Finally the packaging, SMASHED!

It’s fast food… But slower. I’ve tried several things on the menu but not so sure ill go back… Not sure why but meals are always cold.

In short: clean, fresh, professional, delicious, value. It has it all and the managers go the extra mile to give this Taco Johns, 5 stars.

The potato oles are amazing.

More fast food than which it what made me stop here, NOT Mexican food. Had lackadaisical manager holding conversation rather than my order for what seemed like minutes. Food came quick but the quality was both good on the ground beef and BAD, like dreadfully over cooked refried beans. Kept getting sprayed with clean by the young lady who didn’t know better had to ask her to leave me alone. Sad face, going to try again on $ 0.80 hard shell taco day.

I’m giving it four stars for nostalgia… I think this is the last taco John’s in all of Spokane and surrounding area.
Brings back a lot of memories from my childhood growing up in Spokane. The food is average… It’s not great for Mexican food. But the potato olé’s and some of the other menu items are really great to have.
But the potato olé’s are seasoned differently now… Actually too much seasoning. Over salted and probably some MSG. They really don’t need to add seasoning to them.
It’s updated and modern… In tears good. The tacos and burritos or how I remember them.
It would be nice if they would have some healthier options… Maybe follow some of the food concepts that Rubio’s fresh Mexican Grill has

Almost there! We are Westsiders so we like to hit up Taco Johns when we are over the mountains. My husband has been taking about it since we left our house at 6AM! He has too many favorites… nachos, taco bravo, and hard shell tacos. My favorite is the potatoe oles. I am getting hungry!

I would rather spend the extra couple bucks than go to taco bell. The ingredients are fresher and the store is nicer. Gets better and better everytime I go in! The sides are HUGE for what you pay for. The drive thru is quick, but the parking lot is always full. The staff is friendly and I have never received a wrong order. Wonderful

Love taco johns! If you’re running late or want some fast good tacos then taco johns is for you!

Regional chain fast-​food Americanized Tex-​Max, but so good! Generous portions, free soft-​drink refills, and a very nice dining room. Quick cheerful service. Clean rest rooms. Wish there were more Taco John’s around!

The best fast-​food Mexican in town. Nice, clean little restaurant, well worth going out of your way for! I wish there were more of these in town, I would definitely be a regular.

Om nom nom! Oh my gosh these fast food tacos were delish! My cousin’s friend insisted we get Taco John’s before they dropped me off at the airport and I was game. They both said it is better than Taco Bell.
We went through the drive-​thru and I ordered the two tacos combo. To my surprise my combo came with a cup of tasty little tater-​tots! The tacos were good too, although maybe they had a bit too much lettuce in them for my tastes. The cheese was melted into the meat so that was an awesome surprise. Also we got churros! I was so excited because you can never find churros anywhere except when you’re at a fair or something.
For the three of us our total came to a little over 20 bucks. Not bad in my opinion.
Seriously, it’s just straight up Americanized Mexican Fast Food — but they do it right and I like it!

If you eat fast food tex-​mex eat this or don’t eat at all.

Taco Johns… need I write more. This is a chain, with nothing more to offer than cheap, greasy, Americanized Mexican fast food. If you are craving the TJ’s, this is it. ENJOY your six pack and a pound people.

Such an addict for this place. There was one in C’oeur d’Alene and it closed, as did the one in Kellogg. If I need a fix, it’s either here or all the way home to Montana. Softshells, taco bravo, potato oles… all good stuff.
