So, despite being on vacation and avoiding fast food, I did want to try Taco John's during our trip to South Dakota. It's sort of funny that they offer fried potato rounds as a standard side (rather than tortilla chips), but I chalk that up to this being a Rocky Mountain region chain. I tried a crispy beef taco and a soft chicken fiesta taco. Both were fine, but I think Taco Bell has a better crispy beef taco. I tried the churro, and it was pretty good, but maybe a little overpriced for what you get (single stick, no dipping sauce for $2.65). All in all, it was a fun fast food adventure, but not necessarily a place I'd go out of my way to visit again.

What the heck is going on with McDonald's? There is…read moreabsolutely no customer interaction from the staff at this McDonald's in Rapid City, South Dakota. I ordered from the app so it's no big deal to me,but when I walked inside there were two older ladies trying to figure out these stupid kiosks. They were getting really aggravated trying to figure it out. I'm sorry to say that I offered my help and they looked at me like I was a predator and they told me they had it. I just told them no problem and backed off. It still took them a while to figure it out. Anyway, they had such a problem because this is the first McDonald's I've been in that had no cash register. I seen where it used to be but it's not there. I took a picture but it's hard to see but trust me, no register at all at the counter. However, on one of the kiosks, there is a sign saying they would come out and help if you needed it. Oh, and it also says if you're paying with cash, let them know and they would bring you your change. I'm assuming they would have to go to a cash box in the managers office to retrieve your change. This is all well and great but there is no staff paying attention to any customers needing help or paying attention to anything on the other side of the counter. This is just absolutely sad. What happened to you McDonald's? Good thing we only stopped here because we were traveling. I would never stop here again. I live in northern Illinois and most of the McDonald's around me have taken out the self serve drink stations but they still have a cash register and you can still talk to a real human being. But I fear they are all headed this way. McDonald's needs to take a look at Steak and Shake. They did this in the covid era and people don't go to these places anymore and a lot of them have closed. Get your act together McDonald's. People are going to stop coming if there is no customer service. The only cool thing about this place is they have a bronze Quarter Pounder in the parking lot. I don't understand why it's not a Big Mac. I thought that was your iconic burger, but whatever.

The Mexican lady who wears the yellow dress clothes was seemingly mean to one of to what I assume…read morewas her staff. She was on her lunch break and requesting him to do things for her as if he was not busy running food all over already and then the guy would try to make conversation and she would just look at him with a disgusted look. The short Mexican guy was the same way. They were also speaking Spanish and some of the word they used were in a derogatory fashion. The food was good but I felt like I needed to put this on here because that make staff who was running food deserves a little more respect and better treatment especially if that Mexican lady is a manager or a team lead. This was on a Thursday lunch time

You can't even get your own napkins anymore. Oh yeah by the way, they didn't give me any napkins in my bag.

I ordered the SMALL value basket with two chicken tenders and fries which is what I ALWAYS order no matter what location I'm at. Very disappointing that it was almost $9 when at every other location it's only $7. I got my food and the tenders were SO FREAKIN SMALL!!!!! When you order a small value basket it's only the fries and drink that are small, not the chicken. So I paid more and got an even smaller portion than normal. Also ordered a small concrete mixer. It was good but the custard wasn't as thick and creamy as it usually is. It was very liquidy and was more like a thick milkshake. And that was when they handed it to me. And even that was more expensive. I usually pay $4 and this was almost $6. If you're gonna charge more for the same food, please make sure you give the customer what they pay for.

The owner is flat-out rude and gives the impression she'd rather be anywhere but serving customers. Honestly, she's a poor representation of what food truck owners in Rapid City are about--this is a community where local vendors are usually welcoming and take pride in customer relationships, and her attitude stands out for all the wrong reasons. I have never once caught her on a good day. Last week, I clearly stated when ordering that I wanted cheese rellenos with no green chili sauce on top because I'm vegetarian. When my order came out wrong, I brought it back and politely let her know. The look she gave me was pure disgust. Instead of remaking the order, she scraped the green chili sauce off and handed me back the same rellenos. What I got were soggy, scraped-off cheese rellenos that I couldn't eat because they had already been contaminated. Unfriendly service, careless food handling, and zero accountability. This was my last visit.
