The Taco Star that I frequent, is the Airport and South Circle location. I think the receipt prints out a different name, "El Burrito"? But the signage on the building is Taco Star. I mention this specifically because I've been to a few other "T S" locations in the Springs, but the one that consistently out does them all, is the one mentioned off South Circle Drive and Airport. That said, .... I can't rave enough about the food, not to mention the cleanliness of the restaurant itself. I almost always order my "Go-to", a soft shell carnitas taco, which is served with two corn tortillas because the delicious filling is so ample that one tortilla won't contain it all when eating. Their meats are generously seasoned and the carnitas taco is generously smothered with pico de gallo, though recently they've omitted the tomato, which is fine with me because it has less moisture, thus allowing the robust flavors of the cilantro and onion to meld into the meat. Boy howdy ... Do I ever love this Taco Star! read more

The store I worked at today suggested we get Taco Star, I personally have never had it the 3 years we've lived in Colorado Springs. I'm disappointed I haven't tried it until now, but so happy I did! Got this through DoorDash and it came super hot, everything in our order was 10/10. Tortillas look like they're homemade. Better than any of the downtown Mexican restaurants. This place is authentic for fast food Mexican. Definitely a bang for your buck, I'll be coming back and bringing the family! read more

Taco Star - Carne Asada Fries - Mexican Near Me - Colorado Springs, Colorado

Keep in mind that this is a fast food restaurant with a few other locations in the area. They get your order to you very fast, so don't expect gourmet, but do expect a decent meal with large helpings! I love their enchiladas combo because they also give you a whopping amount of beans and rice and the red and green salsas give if a good amount of spice. I'll add a pic of those next time I get them. The carne asada fries are eh. It doesn't really taste like carne asada because the meat is super chewy and rough. Maybe they just cook it too much? But I've had them several times here and as a carne asada fry connoisseur, these just aren't up to par. There's no flavor in the meat at all and some pieces were so chewy I had to spit them out. I do love the horchata, so there's a point. But I wouldn't say the fries are worth a $17 meal. Try a different menu item! Also be aware that this is right next to a gas station and I've seen a lot of people experiencing homelessness around. There's been some aggressive people recently so I would lock your door and keep your windows up. read more

Taco Star - Carne asada fries - Mexican Near Me - Colorado Springs, Colorado

Rude mgr! I was going to try something new and decided to stop here to eat. I walked up to counter asked to use bathroom. He said what do you want to order? I said I'm not sure I'll go to bathroom then come back. He kept repeating himself. I said I was ready as I've never ate here before. I'm definitely not a homeless person just trying to use the bathroom. He was so rude I just walked out as I needed to go pee very bad. He lost my business read more

I enjoyed the fast and friendly service, the clean dining area, the fairly reasonable prices and the generous portions during my dine-in dinner visit. My two chicken taco platter was ready just a few minutes after I ordered at the counter. Each taco had a very generous portion of moist, shredded meat, while the nice portions of rice and beans were pretty good. read more

I've been downtown for a little bit and this taco star and every other one that I've been to is pretty FN amazing. I have to admit I am partial to authentic Mexican food. So their lingua burrito is to die for. These people work hard to make things amazing. I would not call it fast food. I would just call it. They get it to you fast. read more

this is the best taco star in the springs! food is always fresh. i come here 2-3 a week and always get the carne fries. serving sizes are amazing for the price! i've gone to a couple different locations and none hit the same as this one! great lunch option and takeout service is great too! read more

Taco Star - carne asada fries - Mexican Near Me - Colorado Springs, Colorado

This place has amazing food. Breakfast. Beans. Rice. If you're from Texas... then you know.

great authentic tacos! grilled chicken or carne asada you can't go wrong! good value read more

I just wanted to thank you taco star. Last night I ordered a quesadilla and almost died from food poisoning, after waking up on the bathroom floor this morning having been vomiting all night, I really began to appreciate life. You know it's like when you almost fall off that cliff and die or take a drug that makes you think you will die. Really taco star..:. You just gave me a new lease on life, appreciate the food poisoning! If you want a NDE (near death experience) get the carnitas quesadilla! read more

Had my usual. Can't go wrong with the grilled chicken, carne asada, and carnitas tacos. Amazing street tacos, so fat they come with a double tortilla. Fast friendly service. Everything I've had is top notch. Patronize a Colorado staple and treat yourself to some great mexican food. Good for after the bar or just lunch or a late night meal. Definitely recommend. read more

Visiting Colorado, I live in California looking for real, authentic Mexican food . So difficult in the springs to find. I drove around, stopped at Fuzzys, what a joke of a "so called" Mexican taco and burrito shop. I left after looking at their menu. I guess you can call it "white Mexican food", no thanks. Found this shop, ordered a carne asada burrito and it was fire . Simple, carne asada with pico de galo with a homemade flour tortilla. Excellent Excellent and Excellent. Next time I'm out here and craving real Mexican food, I'll come here. Thank you guys. read more

This location is absolute garbage. The staff is very rude. For the third time in a row I've tried to ask for extra red sauce at the window and the drive thru employee closed the window on me while I was still talking. He completely ignored my request. Once is a mistake. Three times, they obviously dont care. 40 damn dollars for tacos, they could at least be courteous enough to listen and reply. But don't worry, I'll just buy my tacos elsewhere. Monica's tacos is happy to serve me. read more

decent food , when did they start charging for salsa ! usually never disappointed with Mexican food but getting out of hand

Awesome food. The carne asada fries are always on point, and a massive serving. Best fast food Mexican joint around

Do not good here, the employees obviously don't want to work. I tried to go through the drive thru, person comes over the intercom. "Can I help you" I say, " I would like to order some breakfast tacos." His response was "NO".... nothing else. I tried to order and nothing.....​ read more

Went yesterday for a few tacos. Spent 18 minutes in the drive-thru when there was NO other cars and seemingly not one customer in the shop. Employee at drive-thru was too busy laughing and chatting with cook to give proper service. Care behind me in drive-thru due to length of time... and for what? It was 3 PM and they were empty. Beware! read more

great breakfast burritos favorite place for them! and enchiladas love love love love we go lots for the breakfast burritos

Late night goodness! Fresh , fast and delicious! Convenient with many locations - Comida corrida su gusto!

This place used to be my guilty pleasure before the pandemic. They have lowered portion sizes and gotten my order wrong the three times I've been there since. The first two times were back to back and you could tell the cooks had changed. The food was awful, especially in comparison to how it used to be. Skimpy protein in every item. When I repeat "cheese quesadilla" three times in English and once in Spanish and I end up with a bean burrito, there's something wrong. Think twice and go to El Super Taco instead. read more

While trying to order a quick breakfast I encountered a rude person on the other side of the intercom. I placed my order & was immediately told to give her a number. Look at their menu which of course has no number other than the ones for the prices. I tell her again what I want & instead she says some random number. I say no. I'm asked to just drive up which I do & I'm left there waiting like an idiot. I left & went to the other location at circle, when I asked them if they numbered their items I was told no, they do not since the menu at the drive thru doesn't have any numbers so it makes zero sense. read more

Taco Star - the menu of a mexican fast food restaurant - Mexican Near Me - Colorado Springs, Colorado

It was a normal late night, working into the evening and I noticed it was already 11:30pm. (most grocery stores were closed) A lot of my favorite places have gone way down hill for late night food, so I was hesitant to head out and see what I could find. A friend told me to try the Taco Star on Woodmen. I got the Quesadilla and a Supreme Burrito with no onions. I haven't stopped talking about these burritos since! So much food, incredible service and friendly people even later at night. The drive thru is a bit tight for bigger cars so don't be afraid to take a double turn into it! All in all, i love this place, and go during the day and late nights alike! read more

Decent food for a fast food place. I would give 3.5 stars. But the food is real food prepared in the back. Not reheated food from corporate. I ordered the carne asada burrito. It was huge. Steak was kinda fatty. But it was good. I could not eat the whole thing. If you go fast food. Go here instead to Taco Bell. It's local and real food. Little better. Quality then Taco Bell read more

Easily the best of the late-night taco stands in town. The employees are generally super sweet, and the bacon is always cooked right. I'll go out of my way to come to this location over others. read more

So we came in here tonight 1/25/2020 as we were extremely hungry. We ordered $45 worth of food & gave a generous tip. Our daughter, who uses a wheelchair, does not chew food. We have to blend ALL of her food. We do this EVERYWHERE we go since 2007. We have never been treated like we were just treated. The worker came out telling us we could not use his outlet to blend our daughter's food. food is mediocre at best & then this. This at least is a clear ADA violation. DO NOT EAT HERE. Nothing to dry your hands off inn the bathroom with, bathrooms are locked. In hoodlum-ville too. read more

They need to hire a motherfucker who actually knows how to speak English. These fucking idiots always get my order wrong and always act like they can't understand me when I ask what happened to my order. If that WASN'T ENOUGH the portion I received on the incorrect order that would not be fixed, was about half of what's normally given. I'm done going here. Fuck these idiots. For the record, I NEVER write reviews. So I literally made this yelp account to tell you how fucking shitty of an establishment Taco Star is. Zero stars. read more

Clean and good service. Friendly staff with good tacos and burritos. I had the Rolled and Carne adada tacos. Come by and get some for yourself. Fast service as well. read more

Absolutely my favorite food on the planet. Period. Good service, GREAT prices! I'm new to this food and I'm obsessed! Thank you guys!!!

Had the breakfast burritos. The food was fresh and delicious! Large portions, quality ingredients! Will totally go back next time we're in the springs! read more

Service is meh, but that won't matter once you put a spicy chicken taco in your mouth. These aren't on the menu, so you just have to ask. The shells are something special. read more

Poor service, rude staff, dirty place. Years and years ago, it use to be a good place to eat, no longer true. Go elsewhere.

Great food, low prices, what more could ya want! All of these bad reviews are ridiculous, the food is authentic and delicious. Soft homemade tortillas cradling tender juicy chunks of meat, sprinkled with cheese, dabbled with tomatoes, floured with lettuce, and doused with hearty and zesty salsas. Wrapped in an oozy quesadilla, layered with beany beans, soused in enchilada sauce complete with the enchilada. YUM. Also they do have numbers Sandy N. read more

I don't care about the money laundering. El Chopo's chicken tacos and speedy breakfast burritos are the best!

Taco Star is slightly more expensive than other local taco shops, but they are open 24 hours, and $3 for a carne asada taco sounds a lot more reasonable at 3 AM. But the prices are a small thing to complain about; the food really is good. After a night of drinking, there isn't a bite in the city that compares to Taco Star's la lengua taco. If you don't know what lengua is, don't ask (at least until after you're done eating it), just order it and go! Taco Star has become increasingly ironfisted with their little cups of red and green salsa recently. I like to smother my tacos and tortas with half a dozen salsa cups, but this is no longer possible, as they will stingily give you a maximum of two salsas before charging you some ridiculous fee to get more. If they would just lighten up and give their salsa to customers freely, I would consider bumping them to 5 stars. Until then, well, until then. read more

Horrible customer service! The late night heavier set women was unbelievably rude! She does not need to be in customer service. At least Taco Bell looks clean and I didn't feel like someone might spit in my food! Taco star = 0 stars for hiring her! Food was pretty good and huge portions 318 N Wahsatch Ave Colorado Springs Colorado 80903 United States read more

I have been living in another state for the past three billion years and haven't had authentic Mexican food in ages.My husband and I tried to go to one restaurant which was closed, then another which didn't have my pickup order after waiting an hour, so we decided to try Taco Star. My husband got the carne asada burrito and rolled tacos with guac and cheese. He really enjoyed the rolled tacos and gobbled them up like they were his last meal. His carne asada in his burrito was a little chewy but it normally is anywhere I have had it. I ordered the carne asada fries. They were delicious. Fries were shoe string style and hot. The entire styro container was full of fries and then sour cream, guac and carne asada meat was completely covering the fries. I sometimes think, "how can anyone afford to give away that much meat and still make money". I don't actually want to know the answer to that question because it was delicious. We went through the drive thru so I'm not sure what it looked like inside. read more

I've had the majority of the breakfast burritos around town and this place still has my favorite hands down. Not too stingy on the meat like most other places. I've also had the carne asada burrito and it was just as good. Green chili has some good kick as well. Unlike another review though I've always had a really good experience when it comes to the customer service side of things. But these aren't the reasons for my review... Took a co-worker here today for a quick bite to eat and he was on the hunt for some Lengua. I had no clue what he was talking about until we realized it was on the menu at Taco Star in various forms...beef tongue! Despite my inital hesitation to eat a cow's tongue in my burrito, I decided to give it a shot. Really glad I did. Very, very tender and tasted like a good pot roast. Not something I'd get everytime, but definitely another reason why Taco Star is my joint! read more

I love their chile relleno burritos! So tasty, they really fill their burritos, and they are fast as well. I recommend this place for breakfast! read more
