One question...what is this? We are being asked to tip fast food workers now? How about we start by understanding this is a fast food establishment and tipping has never been part of this job. Is this something you feel entitled too or that you are under paid or under appreciated in the job you are to perform? I'm a little baffled in this. Other then that food is always good here and the service is always great. Bring back the green river!!!! Taco time is just not the same without it. read more

Taco Time - Tip jar - Mexican Near Me - Longview, Washington

Blonde girl in drive thru gave herself a $4.12 tip... She took my card and didn't give me the machine to ask for tip .. just handed the card back no receipt and decided to give herself some money. our total was $29 and we were charged $33 and were so confused! I had to ask for the receipt to see she gave herself a tip! Boo! I used to love Taco Time I AM SO DISAPPOINTED! Not coming back to this location because of this! read more

I was immediately skeptical about a place that only has chicken and ground beef for meat options. I don't think I would have ordered anything but I was with other people and hungry so I got a small order for nachos. With no drink, just nachos, was a little over $14. Seems like a lot. They weren't good and I had heartburn all night. read more

Use to be the best in town and NOW the food additives and junk is unreal. Keep driving, Food is held above the deep fried cookers and is typically cold and greasy. The increase in price is over the top..... Might as well go to a nice restaurant you might even save some. Really disappointed, loved this place for the fresh and clean ingredients. Now it's junk,,,, Like I said keep driving **OH, need to add this tip B/S for what ????????? We walk in you take our order and we hope you get it correct. You put it in a bag or on a try and we get our own drinks. Holly Cow, you want a tip for what??? I'm tipped out.....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

Great place if you like cold food and being solicited for a tip for simply taking your order for cold food.

recently visited back and i gotta say, the food is still the same quality..if not BETTER than when i last had it. the burrito was fresh and didn't taste bad. I really enjoy a good service experience too and I gotta say. it's as good as I remember. the restaurant itself hasn't changed but I always enjoy the views of the small town. read more

Taco Time - Burrito and quesadilla - Mexican Near Me - Longview, Washington

The price was high for what you got. Our food was delivered almost cold instead of hot as it should have been. The food quite lackluster in flavor. Do yourself a favor. Dine elsewhere. read more

I've always said this Taco Time is the gold standard, especially when I moved up north--it was easy to tell the difference in quality. It's been a couple months since my last visit and I was excited to grab some for dinner but was totally put off when there was a prompt for a tip. I wasn't even dining in...I was in the drive through. I realize I can zero it out, though it's just a little crazy to me that they even ask. Service fees, admin fees, and now tipping in the fast food drive through. Not a fan. read more

expertly wrapped, perfectly layered classic veggie burrito. it's has never been executed so well. classic look inside was nice. staff was laughing and enjoying themselves. give them a raise. read more

I am sitting in the drive-through at taco time in complete shock after paying $10 for two fried chicken burritos I was told I could have two packets of hot sauce and no more unless I wanted to pay $.25 each. I told myself I wouldn't come back here again because it is so expensive but now this is like adding salt to an open wound. Are they really not making enough money already? I will never ever ever come back here again. read more

Used to love taco time but now it's cheaper to go to better places. The amount of oatmealf filler they use in their beef has gone up again making it too mushy now. Two crips meat burrito meals and an extra burrito was over $30! Thats 2 complete meals at Minamis teriyaki. Also not digging the Tipflation. Why the tip jar? This isn't where people wait on you and provide a personal service. Just going to move on. read more

See all

Excellent place to eat. Service is always excellent, staff is friendly. One of the cleanest places to eat. read more

Moved to Longview about 2 years ago from Oregon, after a few visits we didn't give this Taco Time enough of a chance because they were not open every day & didn't have items on the menu that were on Oregon Taco Time menu's. Well as of about 2 weeks ago we are now hooked! The Baja shrimp tacos are amazing! I love the fresh cabbage! Using only wild caught shrimp also! As far as I'm concerned wild caught is the only way to go. My girlfriend loves the ground beef tacos and just now tried the chicken enchilada. Yum! This place only uses fresh ingredients. Fast! Friendly! Clean! Fresh! And yummy! Great job Longview Taco Time! read more

Taco Time - Mexican Near Me - Longview, Washington

I like going to this specific taco time for some odd reason. Crispy burritos are definitely a lil oily but they're good. Have to get the tater tots every time, it's a must. I like the drink machine. Service is good. Booths aren't always the cleanest read more

Wow. This place is the best Taco Time I've ever been to. So clean, well staffed, fresh food. Tasted exactly how you envision when you're craving some taco time. Insanely impressed with this business. Bravo, thanks!! read more

I just had a chicken taco salad It was so good. Lots of chicken. Great spicy red sauce. Chips were warm, thin and very good. Used drive thru. Very friendly and efficient. read more

I'm not sure how to rate this. I haven't been to many Taco Times. It's fast food and the food we ordered was good for a fast food Mexican restaurant so I guess in the rating I probably need to rate it for what it is -- fast food Mexican. In that category it was great except for one major thing. This particular restaurant had just received a new drink machine. The machine offered lots of drink options, many more than any other fountain. However, it was a huge line creator. They had one machine and everyone ordering drinks, needing ice or refills had to stand in this line. The line was huge ..... obviously. Was it fast? NO! An employee was even needed to explain how to use it. With just one machine creating lines, we would probably opt to visit the Taco Time in Kelso instead of returning to the one in Longview if we happen to want to stop by again at lunch time. This is where a fast food restaurant could be a slow food restaurant especially at busy times. read more

This Taco Time is excellent! Had carryout yesterday for lunch. The wait staff were professional, friendly and efficient! Truly a breath of fresh air! The food was excellent. They use better quality ingredients than most Mexican fast food places, so it's a bit more than say, TB, but you can taste the difference! Very filling too. & they have the custom beverage dispenser too... Barq's Vanilla Root Beer was perfect with my No. 1 Combo Meal! Excellent experience! read more

When you get home and 1/2 your order is missing... oh but you get a small order of Mexi nuggets.... I didn't want mexi nuggets or a soda!! I just wanted to go home and have dinner but instead I get to drive BACK TO GET MY DAMN TACO!! MAKE IT RIGHT!!! read more

So once I was hitting up thrift stores with a friend on our trip from Olympia to Portland...As we passed this Taco Time I remarked 'What IS UP with all the Taco Time's, they're ALL OVER!" Being from SF, Taco Time was a new unknown chain. A new unknown chain I had no intention of EVER trying. But you learn not to ask some folks these types of things as they don't get your sarcasm, or they do but have a sadistic streak. 'OH! Taco Time??! They have Mexi-Fries. You should TRY the Mexi-Fries!!!' Since he was driving the question was settled, we're going in. Uh, so what makes a fry a mexi-fry? 'Oh, they're tater tots." he remarks as we walk in. I bust out laughing since I thought it was a joke. NO JOKE. They sell tater tots yet try to pass them off as Mexican cuisine. Mexican spices added to frozen tater tots? Don't get me wrong, tater tots have their merits but foreign cuisine? Taco Time YOU ARE CRAZY. They also add sunflower seeds to the burritos. wtf?! However it was priceless when the girl ordering before me asks the Hispanic cashier what 'Verde' sauce was. "It's GREEN", she replies. They must of had this same dialogue for the next two minutes until finally the girl chirpily replied 'Oh, it's Green! cool.' When I moved to Seattle I had serious doubts about finding decent Mexican food in the NW. Taco Time is the equivalent to someone never having Mexican food, but making a bunch of the recipes out of the Joy Of Cooking (circa 1950s) and thinking they got it down pat. Down so well that darn, we should open a rest-au-rant! On this day it became my QUEST to find decent Mexican food or suffer MANY (oh yes, many) bad meals in the trying. Please help me. Please! read more

We LOVE Taco Time - as long as it is the Taco Time either in Longview or their new location in Kelso. DO NOT try to eat at other Taco Times (i.e. in Vancouver, Olympia, Seaside) and think you are getting the same food they serve in Longview! The crisp meat burritos and the mexi-fries are a great alternative to burgers and fries when you are having fast food. The crisp meat burritos in Longview are the best of any of the Taco Time restaurants I have eaten at. The meat is better and they wrap the ends of the burrito rather than leaving open like the other locations. The meat tastes totally different when you go to other locations - the meat at an Olympia area restaurant was mushy and tasted almost like it was mixed with beans. The meat at Vancouver location is too wet and spiced differently. They also have the best hot sauce - I always have to ask for lots of extras when getting orders to go so that my family has enough. read more

LOL! Okay...I should be doing "check-ins" with how much I visit this place...but I can't bring myself to admit it. I'm a crispy beef burrito ho'...but at least I dial it back a bit by getting the mini mex meal. A satisfying meal under 5.00? awesome! ...and yes, I do like playing with their soda machine. {poke} {poke} {poke}....get ice.... {poke} I'm sure the burrito packs enough salt to stop an elephant, but hey... the world was supposed to end today...so did it really matter to me at the time? But that golden packet of beef comes out perfect every time I order it...(oh...except this one time it had some strange thick vein of cheese in the middle)...where was I?.. oh yes, that beautiful packet of beef fried to golden perfection.....and tots. (excuse me)... Mexi fries. I just wish they would move that pole next to the service window. You know the one with the rainbow collection of car paint colors? Yeah, THAT one. read more

I'm comparing this place to other fast food places, such as TacoBell, Etc. But have to be honest I didn't know what to expect at first prior to walking in. I ordered the crispy burrito and my friend ordered the soft burrito #12. Omg it was awesome. Way, I mean way better than TacoBell and Taco Cabana. I have to say that food was delicious. They use local ingredients so you can say it is very Washingtonian this place. The place was super clean and the staff was friendly. Will definitely visit again. read more

I just absolutely LOVE Taco Time! At least this one (only one I've ever eaten at). It was a staple growing up in Washington. There are none in California, so I have to binge when I come back to Washington. I don't even vary my order. The crispy bean burrito and beef burrito are awesome and I love their unique hot sauce. Glad to see a more modern delivery system for it now. As a kid, it was on every table in a syrup pitcher. This place blows the doors off of Taco Bell by a wide margin. Great Cactus sign too! read more

The food is not bad, however the service is total CRAP... I've been coming here with my family for years, but we've had enough of all the young female staff being very short with us when whe have questions about the food or even if we ask how their day is- Another thing that bugs us as well as other customers is they always seem to be gathered up in the back corner talking about who knows what, while we are waiting at the counter for something... What a bummer- well thanks taco time for the food, but no more because of ur piss poor young rude staff read more

They have changed there deep fried meat burrito in the last few months. I called the store. They were kind enough to check the ingredients for me. Per the manager, it has beef, a protein by-product and some cheese. It is no longer sealed at both ends is much smaller and greasy! I have noticed thinned down hot sauce and other poor quality changes. Really disappointed they would change there #1 seller. You can get the same food at any AM PM or 711. Wounder how much money my family has spent there over the last 30 yrs. Will never go back.. Terry read more

Definitely not as good as the yesteryears, which is sad. This facility in particular was very clean which I appreciate, but the food is pretty blah. I miss the thin chewy tortillas, now they are thick and dry. I don't think I'll be back. read more

We have been eating at Taco Time since 1967 and have eaten at many of them. I have also consistently ordered the Taco Burger Meal so I have comparisons. This restaurant was one of the nicer ones we have been at and looks like it might be their new design. The service is marginally friendly and it is the first Taco Time I have had to pick up my meal - usually they give you a number and deliver it to the table. Overall the Taco Burger was good and probably around 80% of the quantity of meat I am use to but - still fine. Overall I have no problem with the restaurant - althougb an improvement in the customer service attitude would help significantly. read more

Oh Taco Time NW, shall I compare thee to a summer's day? Your crisp tacos, oh so crisp. Your lettuce and salad dressings, oh so fresh. I always stop at you when in Washington as you are the fresher, Fiestaware plate servin', and oh so excellent combo plate deliciousness versions of your older Oregon Taco Time siblings. This particular location is very modern, very clean and the meals oh so tasty, making this the second reason I stop in Longview...ok so the squirrel bridge might be the first reason. read more

The last few times that I went to Taco Time the beef tasted different . Not good and the price was much higher . I won't be back.

Food ia good. Prices are way to expensive. The taco times in Salt Lake City are half the price. There screwing everyone here. I just went to the taco time in Vancouver Washington and on Portland Oregon. Their crisp bean burritos are way cheaper also Vancouver is $2.39 for a one crisp bean burritos and Portland is 4 for ?5.55 You are price gouging your customers. read more

Taco Time is a notch classier than Taco Bell. That's some faint praise, but it's intended to be. The food is spendy for fast food, but the crispy burritos and mexi fries are fantastic! I'd give this place a higher rating, but I made the mistake of not ordering a crispy burrito the last time I came in. They do have one of those fancy new Coke machines with the large variety of soda flavors, bonus. read more

I like totally hate leaving bad reviews I never really do this but I have to I weeny to taco time twice already the service isn't too good the food isn't that great at all actually every time I go there it isn't fresh at all my chips are always like soggy and old :/ read more

Taco Time is the best fast food Mexican food in the area. Love their crisp chicken burrito, natural burritos, taco salads and so much more. I also really appreciate that 99% of their disposables are completely biodegradable! Every restaurant should be like that. read more

I went in to eat lunch today and noticed one of the employees picking up the mexi fries with her bare hands. I informed the manager and he proceeded to defend the employee and stated that it's hard to remember since the rules from the health department only changed a few years ago. Any business that handles ready to eat food with bare hands is risking a food borne illness. Bare hand contact is the #1 reason people get sick. The manger's behavior is unacceptable. read more

Every time I visit family in Washington I always have to get a crisp beef burrito from here. They are so amazing and the taco hot sauce is to die for. Granted, this is some horribly fattening fast food... but it tastes ohhh so good! (They do have an under 400 calorie menu, but sorry ... I can't resist those fried scrumptious burritos!) read more

If there is one thing I truly miss, it's a crisp meat burrito. Since moving from Longview, WA to California I have missed the unique flavors Taco Time offered. Down here in sunny Cal you have every Mexican restaurant you can shake a stick at. However, they all have one thing in common. The menu. They all have similar items. And the taste? The same. Bland. What makes the Taco Time in Longview so different? It's the food and the service. You can't get a crisp meat burrito at Del Taco or Taco Bell! When you combine the unique flavors and menu items offered you'll agree that this place is amazing. How about decor? Let me tell you. I have been to other Taco Times in other parts of Washington and Oregon and have never encountered one so well put together as the one in Longview, WA. I have seen the effort put into that place, and it is truly unique. If you have a craving for fast food that is a HUGE cut above the rest, than try Taco Time in Longview. I have never been disappointed, and never will... read more

This place is awesome! Always has the freshest food and the fastest service. The employees are always very friendly! Their food is amazing and always tastes great! read more

i cant hate on taco time just because i dont like there food. its to plain, and bland, for my taste. but man is it always consistent and well made! the customer service isnt as good as kelso's, and the wait is usually longer, and u will most likely get one. there also closed on sunday for some odd reason? read more

The food is fairly decent but the prices are ridiculous and they continue to rise. The staff seems to have an attitude as well. It's a fast food restaurant but the average meal is 9 or 10 dollars. read more
