Taco Tico Texarkana - Fast Food Near Me - Texarkana, Texas

My wife loves this place, she will also get a order to go. Quick service, if we go to Texarkana we have to stop here, give it a try.

My oh my, I ordered two meat and cheese tacos. i looked on the inside, and it legit looks like they opened a can of soft cat food and put it in there. I gagged when i tried to eat it, and when I got it down, my stomach began churning. I will most definitely be sick tomorrow. Do not recommend, you could find better food inside the dumpster. read more

Best Tex mex in the area! I grew up with this style and loved to see it come back! I always stop by anytime I'm in town!

I literally have eaten at Taco Tico for over 30 years. My husband and I ate there the next day before we headed out on our honeymoon in 2006! Anyways, I was superrrrrr excited when they reopened a few years ago. My go to meal is two bean and cheese burritos with green chili sauce. In fact, I never had anything else other than tasting what my husband gets. That being said, this past year several (and I mean SEVERAL) of my bean and cheese burritos have been so absolutely disgusting. The beans are obviously spoiled. I literally spit it out. But yet, I still keep going back hoping it's a cliche. So I notified the owners via website twice within 6 weeks. I never received a phone call or even a response via email. My dad co-owned KFC's for 30 years, so my dad said notify the company. Since I never received as much as a thank you, I'm done. The beans taste like a fart smells. The service sucks as well..so, so long Taco Tico. read more

Love this place, beats the bell!! And only 1/2 mile from the house. My fav is the hard flour beef tacos and cheese tots!

Five stars for the nostalgia. I grew up in Wichita, KS where Taco Tico originated and I never thought to find one on a vacation trip to Arkansas! But crazily enough we did and man it tasted like high school! They aren't allowing dine in customers yet so we ordered through the drive thru and ate in the car. It was fine. We were on a road trip and had paper towels and drinks. But be aware if you want to go inside. And tasted so good. Just like how I remembered. It may not be for everyone but if you grew up Taco Tico you either loved or hated it. I loved it, obviously and they had all the oldies: sanchos, crustos, taco burgers, chili burritos, etc. I always get a combo burrito and a taco burger. And yes that taco burger bun is wrinkled like it should be because they steam it. Mmmm. Oh! And they sell chubs of Taco Tico meat too! If I'd had a way to keep it frozen I would have bought a couple...or twelve! If you love Taco Tico you will love this one! The people are super nice and it tastes just like I remember! read more

Food was good, my rice was a little dry, I had everything veggie. Service was good needed at three more workers, but it wasn't busy. I will go back, it was nice and clean read more

Disappointed beyond belief in taste of Taco meat & "vinegar" sauce. Cashier Shay was NOT friendly at all. Host Kristy was but won't be back. read more

What! Five stars served on Styrofoam? Yes, indeed. Judy describes her taco as the best she's ever had. My enchilada on my Mexican platter was the best I've had in years, and, believe it or not, the platter was beautifully presented along with chips, pico, jalapeños, lettuce and generous dollops of sour cream and guacamole. The overall taste was unique, interesting and delicious. We were stuffed for only 11 bucks. read more

I forgot just how bad it tastes. I had great service. The ambiance is okay. The food sucks. I had 2 soft tacos.

NO NO NO NO NOOOOOOO! THE WORST! Sad thing is this place actually had a line in drive thru. Smh. Came in town with friends and family to help with a backpack drive and this place was recommended. I wish I could give no stars. NEVER in my life have I had terrible mexican food until I came here. I'm not a big fan of Taco Bell either but this place makes Taco Bell look like Taco heaven. Not only do they microwave EVERYTHING, the chicken they use is processed chicken slices that you would by already cooked in the store for a salad or something. Definitely doesn't go in tacos, quesadillas or nachos....just GROSS! I expected finding good Mexican food would be easy and effortless in Texas but not so much. Save your money and your stomach and go elsewhere. read more

Oh my goodness, I don't even know where to start. We walked into this establishment thinking that it might be like a mom and pop restaurant with homemade recipes and true Mexican food. I should have known something was up by everything on the menu being ground beef or chicken but we still had high hopes. I ordered the Sancho which apparently is a fancy name for a burrito and my husband ordered the Texas burrito which I guess what made it Texas was it had some nacho cheese poured on the top. My meal consisted of some bland chicken wrapped in a cold flour tortilla with some lettuce tomato and cheese sprinkled on the inside. As hungry as I was, I did not even finish half of it. Their salsas were bland and flavorless. Their hot salsa, I don't even have words. I would say that the spicy ketchup at Whataburger is hotter. This has to be some of the worst food I have had since leaving Arizona two years ago. I would recommend to anyone considering going to eat here, save your money. Taco Bell does a more authentic Mexican meal than this place. The service was very friendly but the food sucked. read more

This was a very happy nostalgic find for me moving to this city. My family ate at Taco Tico long before Taco Bell arrived and it was my happy place. read more

Wow, that was some of the most mediocre Mexican food I've had in a long time. I think I'm now more impressed than ever that they can manage to have a 20 car long line at 2:30 on a Tuesday! I mean, any loser can make a really good quality product and sell the heck out of it. However, to make an OK product and sell it out the wazoo requires true genius! Pros: Cheap Food was nice and hot Cons: Didn't taste great. Not bad, but not good either. Kind of like saltine crackers. Cult-like lines. Maybe eternal life was on the menu and I just didn't see it. Only thing I would wait that long in line for again would be a dip in the fountain of youth. Summary: Anything less than a 5 star rating just shows that the reviewer doesn't have an appreciation of the brilliance required to make someone wait 20 minutes in a fast food taco joint for blah. In fact, a 4 star reviewer doesn't deserve to go back and experience the presence of such erudition and adroitness! read more

I love Taco Tico food but JUST ONCE I would like to drive thru and it NOT take 20-30 minutes!! Today I pulled into the line at 12:46. There were 5 cars ahead of me. I ordered one item and a drink. I didn't leave the window until 1:13 !!! It took 3 minutes for the lady on the speaker to confirm my order and give me the total of my order. Geez!! It's too bad that it's such a great product and so difficult to get it!! Please speed up the window service! read more

So happy Texarkana has a Taco Tico again. Food tastes like it's supposed to, delicious! I know it's like a cult following, but I'm in! read more

Taco Tico Texarkana - Th - Fast Food Near Me - Texarkana, Texas

I thought it was going to be good and all I got was indigestion. Avoid at all cost if you are conscious about your health.

In town on business...wasn't lookin' for food and wasn't hungry for food! Out of the corner of my eye I see a Taco Tico sign. I immediately think of Richard Christy and his stories of Sanchos. Any fan of Howard Stern will understand this reference. Had to stop. Got a Beef Sancho and a Chicken Sancho. Sorry Richard, not my faavorite! Look, it's in a Taco Bell, Taco Time, Taco John's category. I think it was better that T-Bell but I would put it behind T-Time and T-John's. Nothing great at all but Richard grew up in BF Kansas and this was Gourmet in his neck of the woods. I appreciate that but it doesn't change my review. read more

Wonderful reminder of my childhood! The service is slow and they only work at one pace but they are always friendly and it sooo good! Just like I remember when my parents used to take me. The store is always really clean and you can get helped a lot quicker if you go inside. read more

Don't order delivery from this place! Not only did I not get my food, I didn't get a call when they arrived or anything. Nor did I get a refund. Just nothing. Threw $14.00 out the window. Complete trash. I moved them up to 3 stars since they provided fairly prompt response. I feel like they actually care. Also I didn't deliver through them directly so.. customer service and pricing here is all I can rate. read more

It took over an hour to get a relatively small order of tacos and burritos and 3 things were left out. I understand they are new but they either need more staff or a different system for expediting orders. Inside there was only 1 person taking orders and 1 person passing out completed orders. read more

So the line at this has been ridiculous for days now, so hubby has begging to try them out. Today the drive they didn't like to but 50 cars deep only about 20 and line just started to form out into the blvd. No kidding the drive thru at this is just crazy! The place is only open from 11 am to 9 pm I'm guessing daily but I'm not sure as that's all the information posted on a small sign in front of the restaurant. Hubby started talk with other taco lovers leaving leaving the place while was wanted like to it was Christmas morning. Hubby begged to drive off until he rolled down the truck window to ask a couple the food was and felt sorry and give him her two tacos she was taking home! After his first bite he was like a child who didn't get the bike Santa promised to drop off. Still hopeful he stated that he hoped our order was much better. After an hour, we finally picked up our food and sadly it wasn't. I had a chicken taco salad and he ordered the taco burger with two beef tacos. I counted 4 cold pre sliced unseasoned chicken strips resting on a bed of shredded lettuce some cheese few sparse diced tomato and a speck of sour cream and speckled refried beans on the bottom of the taco shell. My husband couldn't determine if he had beef or bend on both his taco burger and or tacos. This was the absolute worse taco place ever!!! I had I spend an hour of my life waiting on line that I can't get back. Shame on them. This was a first and it will not be a repeat! read more

I haven't gotten my food yet, so I'm not reviewing the food. I sat in the drive through line for 17 minutes before placing my order. In that time, two cars were served and two cars left. That's ridiculous for a sit down restaurant, let alone a fast food drive through. They better pick it up. Disappointed! read more

Lines are beginning to get to normal, good food with one exception. Their sauce is not much more than doctored up ketchup. Wish they supplied picante or salsa. But I'll return for take out. read more

Is it open? I live out of town. They always seemed to need more staff but the food is unique.. Wonderful!

I am also glad that Taco Tico is coming back. When I was younger my MeMe and I would go to Taco Tico every Thursday. Looking forward to seeing you soon. read more

I Love some Taco Tico Food. I'm so Glad they came back to Texarkana. I'm looking forward to coming to get me some Taco Burgers and Beef Enchiladas, they were my favorite food. The Tacos are Good also. Thanks for Coming Back. See you Soon. read more

I was really expecting something spectacular because of the long lines. That is not what I got. The meat tasted horrible I couldn't even finish my meal. Other then horrible tasting meat and long line it was a typical fast food joint absolutely nothing special. I really think people have good childhood memories going to Taco Tico and It is nostalgic. read more

Oh, where would one start? Waited over two months after opening to go and see what the hype was and was sorely disappointed. The time was 7PM on a rainy Friday night. The parking lot was not really full BUT no one could enter the lot as the drive though was backed up and was one car into Texas Blvd and therefore blocking the driveway. After parking next door, went inside and found only three people in line at the counter and several tables and booths were open. Placed our meager order, sat down and waited, and then waited, and then waited again, AND WAITED SOME MORE! After 42 minutes and other order numbers being called past ours, we approached the counter and asked where our order may be. After having to prove our order was legit, the counter hostess said they were just now making it (some five orders called past ours). She then interrupted the kitchen staff and asked them to make the order (which had obviously been lost as once we got our receipt back, it was caked with cheese and grease). Not one time was an apology made nor did the supervisor (Tanya) offer any assistance or appear concerned that there were some blatant ineptness occurring in the procedures or customer service. It just so happens that as a cook at the very first Taco Tico which opened in this city and not having umpteen employees and techno-gadgets handling orders, a total of four people handled orders more efficiently than this place. This new establishment may have the same name and some simulance of the food, but it is NOT the Taco Ticos of the past. Unless the service improves overwhelming in the next six months (and that's gracious), then I suspect the restaurant will be in need of serious life support. read more
