Food was Luke warm. Cheese on my burrito didn’t even melt. My wife’s mexi fries were cold and soggy. Orange soda weak and flat. Was not offered hot sauce or so our cream. Saved on we of my beef burritos just in case we end up getting sick from improperly heated beef. I doubt it was ever 165 degrees as a reheated ft good product should be. Crew needs to read, understand and practice food handling safely. Will never be back. Going home now to make some dinner as we didn’t dare eat more than a few bites of this meal.

This place is fantastic for a fast food establishment! My favorite is the soft taco with vegetables, which also includes toasted pumpkin seeds for a delicious roasted flavor. Although the costs are a little high, your food will be brought to your table. The eating area and toilets are kept clean, there are televisions inside for entertainment, and the service is kind and helpful. Oh, and they even have happy hour during the week, I discovered! In light of the fact that this isn’t a five-star establishment, I rate it a 5 for being in the fast food category.

18$ for a single meal order? That’s insane. The service at this location is always a mixed bag too. Forgot my side sauce I paid for and for some reason my sprite is… pink? Won’t be back, that’s way to expensive for fast food.

I’ve been to every Taco Time in Western Washington, and there is something special about this location. You feel like you’re in the middle of a little forest, and the food is exceptionally good, I got a soft beef burrito and a crisp beef burrito. They were delicious. Marcella is especially awesome, welcoming and professional.

Originally intended on driving to pony express to ship some boxes but on my way home saw T time and swooped in for the double taco combo… only to realize I forgot my wallet. When I pulled up, the manager said it was no problem and not to worry about it and proceeded to give me my order free of charge. That manager needs a promotion and should be helping make all taco time experiences feel the same.

Bounds above the taco bell experience. The ingredients are fresh and flavorful and don’t leave you feeling bloated in need of recovery.

I’ve always liked Taco Time. My favorite was the taco salad with a side of mexifries. Their sour cream and salsa topping on the salad is my go to order. The food is still good but I ordered on line, prepaid and they forgot a large beef burrito. Normally no big deal except now their prices are way too high to forget part of an order. I didn’t go back since I live a ways away and decided not to spend anymore time and expense

Staff was incredibly rude, they complained that we were bothering them while they were “closed” despite them leaving their neon open sign on. In the future you should recommend that your employees not blame customers for their own incompetence. Furthermore, I think it would benefit you to advise your employees not to yell obscenities at customers as they drive away. By the way, the drive thru closes at 9:30 now, not they’ve bothered to update their website or door signs either.

I love Taco Time, but this location is doing something very wrong. Incredibly poor quality. My soda is flat, my entire meal is stale, smooshed, and lukewarm warm; Completely unacceptable. My burrito and mexi fry box were smashed at the bottom of the bag. Please place the food in the bag, do not just drop it – and heres a crazy idea, use two bags if you have to. I mean I just spent about $50 dollars and this is my experience? 100% disappointed. How do I get a refund Taco Time? This is terrible, and the staff needs to be re-educated and supervised.

These folks need either more people on staff or for solid training.. I could tell there was 1 person who knew what was goin on and as I was having my order taken she was having a minor argument with the rest of the crew who didn’t seem to care much for the work they were doing. Taco time is good. But having more than just 1 competent worker would help that primary worker a lot.
