Taco John's

  I love me some Taco John's.  Is it the best Mexican food?  Not even close.  Is is the best Mexi-Style fast food?  Probably not.  However, it was one of my favorite places to grab a quick bite in Bozeman, Montana, back in the day.  As such, I seem to have an irrational attachment to their food.   Sure, my favorite sandwich, the Original "Sierra Chicken" sandwich (the one with a whole boneless chicken breast) is long gone.  The strip version that replaced it was sad and disappointing.  But, I can still get original crunchy tacos, complete with that "not quite meat, not quite paste", filling that some of us love.  Also, the Potato Ole's (that is piping hot and slightly spiced tater tots to those of you not familiar with TJ's) are just short of addictive.  Finally, the green super hot sauce (made from pureed whole fire-roasted jalapenos) is so painfully full of capsaicin, that the release of endorphins (happy chemicals) should almost be illegal.  No other fast food chain that I am aware of offers a sauce quite this nice.
  
  So, why 4 stars for this location?  It looked new and clean.  And compared to other locations (I am talking to you, the dirty, fly-ridden TJ's/Steak Escape near 58th and I-25) this is somewhat of a rarity near Denver. The staff were friendly and well-groomed.  The food was as good as it ever gets for Taco John's, which was just fine with me.

  I love Taco Johns.  I always have.  This place didn't disappoint.  The food was made just like normal and we didn't have to wait long.  I love the potato ole's big time!!! Add a little nacho cheese and you've got me hooked big time!!!!
  
  The staff was friendly as well.

  I grew up on Taco Johns and living in LA it's the one food establishment I miss. This place was clean, has a very friendly staff and is in a nice location. It's places and people like this that make me miss the area. Alos never had potato ole's with nacho cheese. That floored me.

  My first experience with Taco John's. We're from North Carolina and haven't been to a Taco John's, this was a first for us - and it didn't let us down! The staff was friendly, the restaurant was clean, and the food was good enough to make your tongue come out and slap your brains out. In your case, hopefully not literally. But we definitely enjoyed the food and will be back if we visit Colorado again.

  The food at Taco Johns is actually considered west-mex and not Mexican.  The food is good, ingredients are fresh, and well prepared.  As with most fast-food places, the staff is friendly but always seems to be rushed.  Both hard shell and soft shell tacos are good as are their burritos and I really love their churros for desert. They also have a small salsa bar with various types of red and green (very hot) salsas.  As Conner E. stated, don't forget to visit their website to save money before visiting the restaurant.  Personally, I would like to see them use more shredded cheese and less cheese "goo."

  Best Tex-Mex Fast Food Restaurant on the Planet!
  
  Everything on the menu is delicious and especially wonderful when paired with a side of the delectable potato oles!  
  
  This restaurant blows Taco Bell out of the water!
  
  I'd suggest either meat and potato burrito with beef or the grilled chicken burrito and a side of oles to satisfy your tex-mex cravings.  You can't lose by picking a bad item off the menu.  Being a self-proclaimed TJ addict myself I can you by visting the TJ website you can earn points and use them to redeem for free food items; you get a free portion of potato oles just for signing up!
