Taco Tierra Inc

Definitely not Mexican food, but Taco Tierra is pretty decent. I'd say it's about a half-step better than Taco Bell when it comes to quick, filling, and cheap Tex-Mex cuisine.

I ordered the lunch special of a beef and bean burrito with hotter-than-hot sauce, a water, and a churro on the side. It was really good, really cheap (less than $6), and it totally hit the spot.

If you think you're getting Mexican food when you go here, you're very very wrong; but, if you need a quick, cheap bite to eat in Princeton, go for Taco Tierra!

According to my contacts, Taco Tierra has a loyal almost cult-like following in Southwest Indiana and the beef  "Sancho" is the primary object of that devotion.  I've driven by the Princeton flagship location many times since it's been there, maybe for thirty years, give or take, but I've never been temped to go inside before.  So we finally gave it a try and called in an order for  carryout from the drive-through.   The Sancho contains taco meat, lettuce, cheese, wrapped in a soft shell.  We tried the beef and chicken Sanchos with medium spicy sauce.  For my taste, the chicken Sancho was the better choice.  The beef Sancho is a very heavy meal with a not too subtle flavor.  It's a hefty wrap.  We also had the cheesy nacho chips with sour cream and chives and that was fresh and tasty, if not exceptional.  I'd rather not compare it to Qdoba nor to Taco Bell except to say that it's on the same par for price and fast-food service, but it is also a unique experience.  I can see the loyalty-inspiring appeal for the twenty-somethings as it's a lot of taste and  bulk for little dough.  And they did get the order right and it was for six people.  S'ok by me for fast food.

I actually prefer Taco Bell, but if you thought Taco Bell was cheap, try this place. The cheapest Mexican cuisine you will find. This establishment is very popular with the younger crowd.
