This Taco John's is fairly new. It takes over from DQ, which I never frequented. It always looked closed whenever I passed by it. A few Tuesday ago, I went to see a movie. I was hungry afterwards. As I drove back to the hotel, I remembered this Taco John's and decided to try it out. I heard about Taco John's on The Jason Show several months ago. I saw segments on how various items are made and was intrigued. It was roughly 9:15 pm when I had arrived at the drive-thru. The place closes at 10 pm each night. I was thankful to be in at the drive-thru with a bit of a lineup. I didn't want a huge meal. When I got to the order area, I had a helpful woman guide me through the various parts of my combo. I got the two softshell tacos combo. By default, the tacos are beef. You can also get chicken. It comes with a small drink and potato olés. I got a Diet Pepsi as my drink. She asked me if I wanted any dipping sauces. I passed. The wait wasn't all that long. When I got to the window, I handed my credit card to the woman. The transaction went through fine. I got my drink first, followed by my food. I thanked the woman and left. What's interesting about Taco John's is that they have interesting processes when it comes to handing over food and drinks to customers. When a customer has paid for a drink, the drink must be handed to the customer with the receipt. This action did happen to me. Another fun process rule is that you only get one napkin for each item in your order, minus the drink. So, I got three napkins. You can break this rule by asking for more napkins. Some people are messy eaters or are klutzy. Yes, I speak from experience. I got back to the hotel room to eat. I had to have a few potato olés first. OMG! They were so good. Each one had a mashed potato-like interior with a tater tot exterior. What?! I was so blown away by how yummy each one was. I absolutely loved them. Olé! My softshell tacos were delicious. The beef was flavourful. The ingredients were fresh. By default, it comes with mild sauce. You can ask for hot sauce if you want some heat. The softshells weren't soggy and held up well. My Diet Pepsi hit the spot. I needed it to wash everything down. The beverage menu also had cold-brewed coffee. I didn't want to drink coffee at night, but I'll need to give it a shot (pun intended) to see what it tastes like. I had a wonderful first experience at a Taco John's. A change from Taco Bell was nice. Both are fairly close to each other, but the potato olés are making me a Taco John's fan now. I'll be back. Maybe I'll give the breakfast menu a try next time and get some dessert, too. (28) read more
