I want to just say that I was very disappointed with my crunchy beef taco. How does one pack a to go order and gives me a broken shell taco with my things all over the place. Here is the picture that I took as soon as I parked to eat my food. And someone that doesn't put in effort into making these tacos and ppl pay money, and things aren't so cheap anymore. So please be mindful what you put in the bag to go. This is a mess. read more

Taco Time - A beef crunchy taco (but instead a broken crunchy taco) - Mexican Near Me - Mount Vernon, Washington

Taco Time is a local favorite and this one is great! I think the cashier's name was Zoe and she was super nice and clearly cares about customers. Thanks for a perfect lunch and nice experience. read more

Online order. Crisp burritos were drenched in oil, mexi fries were stale. Never had a taco time experience like this before.

I have eaten at several taco times, have to say for the amount of staff on board, the restaurant is a mess, tables that obviously need cleaning, drink area needs cleaning, seemed very disorganized, sad read more

How about getting the order straight? Two of three items had the wrong meat. My Beef Soft Taco came with chicken. My wife's Crispy Chicken Taco came with beef. That qualifies as an F-, a 33% efficiency score. read more

When driving in Washington, I kept seeing a chain of fast food Mexican restaurants called Taco Time. On June 6th, 2023, I decided to stop at the location in Mount Vernon. I ordered a fried fish taco and classic chicken burrito (coming with rice, pinto beans, cheddar cheese, ranch dressing, guacamole, and lettuce). The food here was quite similar to Del Taco in terms of preparation and quality, but it was still tasty. The service was quick and professional. The dining room was clean and modern. If someone is on a tight budget on a trip to the Pacific Northwest, I'd recommend trying this local fast food restaurant. read more

Taco Time - Fish Soft Taco & Classic Burrito Chicken - Mexican Near Me - Mount Vernon, Washington

So dirty. Garbages overflowing. Food all over garbage . Dirty plates. Napkins empty. Lids empty. Took forever. I complained to mgr. she said they are short staffed. There was her and 4 others working. That's more than I have in my whole store. I told her if this is what customers see in the forefront.. what does the kitchen and food look like. Told her I'm not coming back. She got rude with me and said have a nice day. I have never seen anything like it. read more

Before we begin, I must explain that I downloaded Yelp solely to give this beloved establishment a 5 star review. To put it lightly, I was a different man 6 hours ago. Engulfed in seething anger and ravishing hunger, I could barely stand, my vision blurry and my countenance fading. However the moment I stumbled upon the crowning green arches of "Taco Time" a peace flowed over my body; perhaps strangely, I felt that everything was going to be just right. I ordered one (1) "Crunchy Chicken Burrito" ($4.29), one (1) "Crunchy Chicken Taco" ($3.79), and, last but certainly not least, one (1) "Chips and Salsa" ($3.29) [mild salsa]. Where can I begin? The moment I bit into the crunchy chicken burrito a warmth flowed through my body I hadn't felt since I was a boy. I will be honest, I lived in Mexico for 27 years, and I NEVER had a burrito even comparable to this! The sauce was perfect and the cheese, just right. Next the taco... MMM MMM MMMMMM! What a crunch! I don't know how they do it, but the shell stayed perfectly intact white I munched on it. The lettuce was crisp and tasty, and the tomato was a welcome addition. I could continue, elaborating how the chips and salsa literally changed how I viewed cuisine, but, truly, I would rather spend the remaining time praising the fantastic staff. The warm smile of the manager melted my heart, and I was deeply moved by the patient kindness of the drive-thru employee even while I stumbled over my words. I could not recommend this "Taco Time" location enough! read more

I had read the reviews and it seems like their specialty is these fried burritos, which are basically a taquito. It's really not a lot of food, and ours were nothing special. If you want a quick "Mexican" snack they are okay. But otherwise I would recommend going to a "real" Mexican restaurant. read more

Nice big taco, real fresh, I got the beef natural soft taco, perfect right after a workout, next time Casita burrito platter!! read more

Taco Time - Natural beef soft taco, Excellent Lunch!!! - Mexican Near Me - Mount Vernon, Washington

Just got done having one of the worse taco salad . Shredded lettuce sprinkle of cheese and two thin slices of tomato with and very unseasoned ground meat with 4 taco chips . No taste . The husband had a classic burrito they call it, very dry . We will not go back . No clue why I gave it two stars . read more

What a convenient, good drive thru close to the highway - I had the vegetarian classic burrito and the staff was super friendly, it came out super quick, and the taste of the kale (with nuts!) in the well balanced filling was delightful. On top of this I like their design. read more

I have to come out and just say it. This is like my go-to place when I need food I can hold and drive without my shirt turning into an unintentional destination for sauces, flying debri and stray lettuce flakes. The soft tacos with the tart garlicky onion sour cream and beef. I WILL NEVER say no to one of those. If I am Thanksgiving dinner full, I might. But it would be a battle of the bulge and the taco just might make it in. But, what I love, is I can get a 'mini-meal' which means, awesome taco, and I get to indulge my love affair with tator tots and not break the waistline or my ability to eagerly look forward to dinner! I don't like dining in because they just don't seem to get to the tables quick enough to not have to work around someone else's meal. But, for a fast food meal, you cannot beat it and many sit down restaurants could learn something about balancing flavors for something that is truly great like their soft taco. BTW, disclaimer, I love the soft taco so much I have never been able to bring myself to even try anything different on the menu! read more

The Manager has that team at the pulse of the community, they are polite, expeditious and eager to help you from the moment you pull into the drive through to the second they tell you to have a wonderful day. Fast food can be tedious work, it is nothing short of amazing that this team is as efficient as they are and as willing to help as you could ever want. The building is going through a remodel and it is still very neat and tidy every time I come for lunch, the cleanliness expectations and standards have risen over the past few years and they are certainly knocking it out of the park at the location in Mount Vernon. I love coming here, because I know my special requests will always get made correctly and in time for me to hurry back to work, what a wonderful team you have in Mount Vernon, I will continue to tell everyone in the Valley where the best spot for a quick lunch is.. Taco Time!!! read more

The food is great as always. Consistent with portions, taste, and everything else, including the occasional missed items. Chicken cuts could be smaller, and I wish they would open the dine in area (it has been closed due to Covid). It also causes a backup in the drive thru. Nonetheless, it is a great franchise with the usual good food that keeps us all coming back for more. read more

Food is the same as at all Taco Times- good, quick, inexpensive. I gave it 5 stars because of the friendliness of the staff. One employee came out during her break to talk to an older man eating alone. Others checked to make sure I was happy with my food. Just a really nice staff. read more

I went through the drive in. Got the fish taco...excellent. my husband ordered? Not what he wanted. Oh well. But it was good and pretty fast. People were polite. I will return. read more

I love that they have the gluten free options listed on a side menu. It makes it so easy to see exactly what their offerings are!! Great idea!! The restaurant was clean, the service was fast and friendly. Thanks, Taco Time! read more

Since I found the coconut shrimp tacos, that's what I get. It's a good price and very tasty.

Baja fish tacos!!! The fish can range in size, so you might get one taco with a big awesome piece and then another with a piece so small you have to double check that it's there, bummer. Either way, they are sooo tasty!! This Taco Time has spoiled me though. I went home to Portland and got a craving for one of these tacos, so went to get one...no fish tacos at any Portland Taco Times. What?!? Utter disappointment, Portland. Good service and fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Worth a stop! read more

This Taco Time is EXCELLENT! The food was so fresh and perfect. Staff is wonderful and it is clean. Been to several TT but quit going as they were not great....BUT.....This one is a keeper! We will travel to get there and pass 2-3 closer ones by. The Baka style fish tacos and shrimp Baka tacos were outstanding! read more

I enjoy the food at Taco Time but this is another time I've been there that I've noticed that the window that they hand you your food out of is filthy. I thought everybody was doing deep cleaning because of covid-19. Not Taco Time. The window grooves where the window slides are just full of dirt and scum and grease. It's very unappetizing and I don't think I'm going to go there again. I think Taco Time My Vernon needs a new manager. read more

The drive-in here SUCKS! Please tell the manager at the window to get overhangs for the order speaker and the window! when it's pouring rain you're going to get soaked! read more

Taco Time - a view from inside a car - Mexican Near Me - Mount Vernon, Washington

Is this branch still open? I don't see other reviews. Also, I saw that a corporate TT in Mt. Vernon was closed. I'm scared. Last time I was at this TT was maybe 8 years ago, and as it had been many times before, was awesome. I always attributed it to the local cheese and sour cream. But I don't know. I will drive by to see when next driving thru Mt. V. read more

There were three of us in our group and all three of us arrived and ordered separately. I mention this because as we all met at our table, each one of us commented on how friendly and professional the Cashier was. Her name was Zoe and she almost made me want to work there! I feel like my fast food experiences don't typically produce a noticeable customer service experience, unless it's on the negative side. It's a hard job that many people don't want to do, and I appreciate someone that makes it look fun. Aside from that, the food was really good and it felt like I was eating more quality than typical "fast food" but without the high price and inconvenience of a restaurant. The place could definitely have used a bit of acleaning, but it wasn't so gross that I wouldn't go back. read more

Recently re-visited the location on East College way in Mt.Vernon, WA, they've been there since I can remember, used to have a cool giant cactus sign! I always get the habanero soft burrito! Its huge! And its actually HOT, used to fast food places dumbing down the heat, but not on this one! Also love the cilantro-lime dressing. Service is fast friendly, and never had a wrong order, yet! Thanks, guys! read more

The Taco Time on College Way is the only fast food that I eat even semi-regularly. If I need a quick meal to hold me over on my way to, or from the gym across the street I will hit Taco Time, and have been doing so for years. What I am amazed with is how long a few of the employees have been at this Taco Time, some of them have been there for as long as I've been stopping in. That is refreshing to see at a fast food restaurant. The food is always fresh and comes out fast. I really like the Corn Chowder, which seems to be a seasonal menu item, and yesterday when I stopped in the cashier (middle aged woman with glasses, always friendly) knew I would be let down that the Corn Chowder was no longer on the menu, I could tell by her look, because I always order it. So I tried the Tortilla Soup, which I did not find nearly as tasty as the Corn Chowder, so I wouldn't order that again, and for me that the only thing that kept my review from being a 5 star. Always great customer service, clean, and consistently good food. I always tip the cashier as well, they don't have a tip jar, they should have one. Sometimes they get a very surprised look on their face when I tip them. The way I see it, you tip your barista, you tip your waitress, why not give the fast food worker a little something to let them know you appreciate the job they do, and their hard work hasn't gone unnoticed. This review is making me hungry!! read more

I know its fast food, but I really enjoy Taco Time. They are fast, their food is fresh, and their prices are reasonable. I always buy the beef soft taco. The drive through is reasonably fast for a taco time. The inside is clean and the bathrooms are nice. I also like that they have a Coke Freestyle machine. I love them. I highly recommend this Taco Time to anyone. read more

We used to go to Taco Time fairly regularly. These last two times we have ordered ground beef soft tacos, as usual. Both my husband and I were certain that there is less beef and cheese than before in the soft tacos. Has anyone else noticed this? Is it possible to add extra beef for an extra charge? read more

My favorite slightly upscale fast food Mexican place. Very nice menu, way better than Taco Bell.

Ironically, the four star rating is because something went wrong. I ordered two crisp beef burritos, a crisp beef taco, & a large Mexi fries. I hadn't eaten all day and this seemed like a perfect meal for my lone daily meal. The two burritos and the taco were fantastic. One of the reasons I'm willing to pay sit down prices for fast food, is because Taco Time does a great job. However, the Mexi fries (which are glorified tater tots,) looked as if something horrible had happened. They looked like two film companies were simultaneously filming a Friday the 13th movie AND a sequel to Platoon in a potato field. Normally, I would just accept it as punishment for eating such fatty food, but in this case I was still in the neighborhood, and so I returned with them. The manager apologized, explained that the tater tots have been, as she put it "hashbrowning," and even said she'd sent emails to corporate about the problem. She offered to replace them or refund them. I didn't feel that replacing them with more "hashbrown" tater tots would be to my benefit, and so I asked for a refund. She handled it with the utmost professionalism and courtesy. The only reason that the restaurant did not get 5 stars is because of the tater tots. Other people might have given and them 1 or 0 for something like that, but the way that they handle the entire issue made me a lifelong Taco Time eater. God save my arteries. read more

Im not sure how Taco Time does it, but their tacos shells dont fall a part when you bite into them. The food as a general rule is always consistent and fresh. I like pretty much everything on the menu. If you havent tried there chicken chili, I highly recommend it. Crisp beef burritos are always good too. read more

The wonderful lady at the front counter saw I was having a problem with my lunch, came over to me, took my salad and remade it. All with a smile and a joke. It was not a big deal, just a few pieces of lettuce that looked like it had been frozen, I could have picked around it. I wish I had gotten her name so i could thank her again here! She gives the best service. read more

Use to eat here 3-4 ties a month...but can not justify dealing with a company that treats you like a moron. They keep sending me coupons over the internet...then upon walking into their store to redeem such coupon ... they come up with excuses to not honor them. Favorite excuse seems to be that coupon was made up by corporate and we are not a corporate owned store. Our store is owned by Taco Time Northwest and as such you can take your coupon and shove it. Now that we have that settled...what would you like today. Yea right, good-bye forever and take your excuses and shove it where the sun never shines. Stop making a fool of your customers Taco Time or you soon will have no customers to make a fool of read more

It all began when a growling and pain came from within. The trigger was set, I thought to myself, what could possibly satisfy this unwavering beast who relentlessly taunts me every 5 hours of every day? Only one place in all of Mt Vernon Shire came to mind. I left work, salivating for the goodness of what is known as the Taco Time Restaurant. Little did I know, as I left in haste, I had left behind on my desk the only weapon I had to battle this beast of hunger....My wallet, which lay on my desk calm and unaware, I was heading into battle defenseless. Fast forward in time, I am reaching for my precious while approaching the window, when I realize the peril of the situation. My last chance is hope for the apple pay, but at last no dice. The look on Jeri's and Codi's faces, one of empathy listened as I sadly told them "sorry I have no way to pay" and started to pull away. Jeri and Cody looked at each other, then after looking back at me Codi says, "we will cover it for you." Was it my sad puppy-like face? The look of total despair? Did they totally understand, I had driven all this way, waiting in line as dopamine ran through my body as I wait in expectation for my Baja tacos, crispy beef burrito, and mexi-fries? Did they imagine how the shock and sudden deep sadness hit me, when realizing I would only return to work hungry, hopeless, empty-handed and utterly shattered? Seeing how desperate I was to give my hard earned cash by any means to pay for that crispy goodness and freshness that screams out into the night only from the place called Taco Time. It is not the name of a business that makes it great, it is the people behind it. Thanks for using people who understand, care and know people. I will never forget the kindness Codi and Jeri showed me on what became this very very fine day. read more

I used to go to this Taco Time every week and eat their Fish Baja tacos. I am attending the college up the street and when it was closed to everyone but the drive through I was really missing the fish baja tacos. The employees used to be all really nice and it was a very pleasant place to go. A couple weeks ago a friend came from out of town, wanted to get food there, so we went through the drive through, ordered food and asked for 5 hot sauces-then drove a long time to find a place to eat by the flower fields and we had 0 hot sauce. Food was still good but I wish we would have checked. The next week I saw I could walk in-I was so happy, and so I did-I ordered my much loved fish baja tacos and told of our last visit in the drive through, no hot sauce but I said it was good all the same but I will check this time. When my order was put up at the counter I grabbed it, looked in, reached under the tacos-nothing, no hot sauce-no problem, I went back and asked for some. The woman who took my order looked at me like I was a problem, she slapped two hot sauces on the counter and said, 'they're probably underneath your tacos'. They weren't and I was nice, no need to be a bitch. Then yesterday I have a big test and I need to eat, I think, I'll get fish baja tacos and get out and walk before it gets too hot. So I walked to the place, gave the guy my order (it looked like he was new), had to say 'fish baja tacos' 3 or 4 times, he asked another person where the button was for fish tacos, she pointed, he seemed confused. He asked me for less money than I know they cost and I said repeatedly, that can't be right, it has to be more and he insisted it was right. I told him I was walking, that it was food I planned to eat to help my brain take this precalculus test. I ordered hot sauce. My food came, there was no hot sauce, I got some and I went home. The tacos were ground hamburger! Just ground hamburger and for someone expecting to see the only thing they ever order from Taco Time-fish baja tacos with white sauce and cabbage-a mass of ground hamburger looked like brown maggots. I haven't eaten ground hamburger on purpose for 30 years, it looked disgusting. I called to ask what the heck happened and the woman who answered seemed to already know the guy had ordered me beef instead of fish, even though I said fish baja over and over, and even though his higher up pointed to the fish taco button on the register, the woman who took my call said 'what's the matter, you don't like hamburger?' Where did the decent employees go? This used to be a place of kind employees and good food. If the restaurant is in the wrong, why be rude to the customer you have wronged? I still have to take these gross things back and get my money back, we'll see how that goes. I have school, it can't be today. I would have given this place 5 stars before it shut down for walk ins during covid. Now, depending on how they deal with me when I return their ground hamburger I will either never go there again and tell anyone who asks not to go there or this Taco Time will get themselves together and quit being rude to customers when it is 100% their mistake, which it was in my case. I kept expecting some sort of, I'm sorry we screwed up so bad-and 3 screw ups in 2 weeks, I am so sorry. But I got, 'what's the matter, you don't like hamburger?' read more

Employees are friendly, service is fast. I like that the food is made fresh-to-order, but it does make a take a few extra minutes longer than a fast-food joint that has everything all made up before you arrive. Food is very high quality and the price is good. read more

College Way location very dirty. Most tables dirty as was the floor. Took 3 bites of my mini soft taco to get beyond the lettuce. Very disappointed. read more

Good food and great service. The people who work there are articulate, pleasant, and helpful.

An expensive taco bell with tater tots. Meh. They did have one of them fancy shmancey pop dispensers, which is nice. Highlight was when i spilled ketchup all over myself and the floor. Good good fresh fresh still haunts me to this day read more
