Taco John's

So good. So good. Drove from Chicago so a good 60 mile each way trip. But we'll worth it. Sucks they don't have a taco johns in the city. We need u TJ.

If you're looking for Tex-Mex fast food, Taco John's is your spot. They are primarily known around town for their potato oles. They are similar to hash browns and are crisp golden brown potatoes with a perfect seasoning. Due to the grease factor, they are a once in awhile type of food, but you will count down the days until it's time to come back and devour another order.

On Tuesdays, it's Taco Tuesday and they have hard tacos for 89 cents and soft shells for 99 cents. A few months ago, I had a tremendous idea and I've been addicted ever since. Order a small potato oles, sour cream and 2 soft shell tacos and make homemade meat and potato burritos. They are absolutely fabulous.

Other highlights:
-You can also order a six pack and a pound for $9.99 which is 6 tacos and a pound of potato oles.
-Sour cream, guac, cheese is 60 cents. Completely worth the cost to dip your potato oles in.
-Mexi rolls. Similar to a taquito. Deep fried but glorious.
-Breakfast -- never tried it, so can't testify to it but my curiosity is piqued.
-Great customer service. Both locations in town have great customer service.
-Happy Hour 2 PM - 4 PM daily. $1 sodas.

I am a fan of Taco John's, so I just wanted to mention this place.  It's very clean inside and the staff is always smiling and friendly.  Food is hot & fresh every time.  I really love stopping here.  Try the new wings, they're great!
