OMG! The only reason I loved going to Indiana Beach was for the amazing tacos!…read more I was visiting a customer in Monticello looking for someplace for lunch. I got on Yelp of course! I saw The Taco Shoppe - one of the first review I read explained how the taco stand was no longer in Indiana Beach/ but had opened shop 1 mile from where I was! Trust me I knew this was the place for me!!! Anyone that has been to Indiana Beach must remember these delicious tacos! They are nothing fancy/ just ground beef lettuce snd cheese- with the AMAZING taco sauce! You order at a Windiw- pick up at the next- there are a few picnic tables. I noticed a steady stream of people walking up the steps to place orders! This is a must stop if you have fun memories of the tacos at Indiana Beach!

There's something to be said about knowing your strengths and understanding your clientele. If…read moreyou've ever been to Indiana Beach on Lake Shafer, you've probably had tacos from the now closed Taco Shoppe. It was a staple for years at the amusement park, and gained such a following that when they closed a few years back, their regulars (myself included) were devastated. So much so that the owners decided to re-open the business about three miles away in downtown Monticello, IN. The recipe for their success is a simple one. Keep the menu simple. Find a niche product that differentiates your establishment from the dozens of other taco joints in the area and only open for a select amount of time so that you always leave them wanting more. The Taco Shoppe is a carry-out only and has no inside seating at all. In fact, there's no "inside" of the business. You order from one window and pick up your food from another. There's a handful of picnic tables in the lot next door, but that's it. So what's the secret??? Tough to describe. First of all, the soft shell corn tortillas are flash fried, maybe?!? Whatever they do to them, they are delicious. Their ground beef is also kind of a mystery. It's unlike any beef taco I've had before, and my fat ass has had PLENTY of tacos in my 52 years. They serve the tacos with red sauce (mild) and green sauce (hot). They are both amazing. Their red sauce is on the sweeter side, and I can't compare it to anything else really... Like everything else about this place, it's totally unique. The Taco Shoppe is one of those places that if you know about it.... you know. You get it.

It's difficult for me to get past the tacos, but the burgers are worth trying as well (top one off with a chile rellano, you will thank me later). They even have horchata and ice cream.

Our tip reflected the less than stellar service we usually receive and have become accustomed to. Alas, as will return and will once again enjoy the food and hope to enjoy the service more like previous visits. This place still deserves a 5 star review!

I was treated like I wasn't welcome from the minute I walked in. I was seated, I was only one in the place. I was rushed to order, even though I told her twice I would like to have my margarita and chips and salsa,....she kept coming back. Then when I finally did get my food, they were cleaning up around me and soooo rude anout it. One worker was even on his phone while he was cleaning. I don't know about you, but I love listening to people's conversations and smelling harsh chemicals while I'm trying to enjoy a quesadilla and marg. ‍ I really wish they would've just said, " Hey lady, we're closing early tonight" when I walked in the door. Could've saved myself $30, 30 minutes and a sh*t ton of aggravation. Anybody here in town know who owns that place?

We placed an order with no other people in the store and plenty of employees no cars in the…read moredriveway! It took them over an hour to even look at our order. All of this while the workers are messing around and speaking with off the clock workers. They also are not playing the regular Taco Bell music instead playing random music off their phones and touching their phones with gloves on. At one point I'm assuming the women in charge started screaming at an employee in front of customers. Then they ended up not even making half of our food so we had to cancel the order. This is not the first time we have had issues with this Taco Bell.
