Taco John's

It's Taco Tuesday so of course had to get some tacos. Finally got around to trying this new, fast food spot. Ordered 2 crunchy beef tacos and 2 soft steak tacos, reflected on the receipt, but got all crunchy tacos instead. That's ok though. Their steak tacos are delicious and portions are just right. Steak is plump, perfectly marinated and flavorful. Although the beef tacos were a bit oily, it wasn't dripping in it. Taste reminiscent of the meat in beef tamales. Didn't see any salsa/salsa packets on the menu but will need to pay attention next time. Also didn't get to try their Potato Olés which are coined tater tots but will next time. Overall, this place isn't and shouldn't be compared to Taco Bell, and that's a good thing!

I'm a TJ's lover from waaay back & delighted to see they've returned to the Chicagoland area. With that said:
Brand new place. The service was quick & efficient. However, the Beef & Potato Burritos were a little dry, i.e., could've used a bit more cheese sauce & sour cream. Politely mentioned it to the manager & he sincerely thanked me for the input. Will definitely be back...

6/8/23 Update:
I am, now, what I guess you'd call a "Regular" at this location. I make the 30 min trip to TJ's about 3 or 4 times ea. month. The staff knows me & I couldn't be more pleased with the service and quality of their food. Moreover, any "opening-day jitters" have long since been addressed, and my rating has been changed (from 4⭐️, to 5⭐️, to reflect this). They're first rate across the board and, tbh, easily top my local 🌮🔔's taste, quality & service.

If you've never had Taco John's before, I would heartily recommend you give this location a try; their food is AMAZING & I can guarantee you'll be back! And if you've already tried TJ's elsewhere? Then hit this one up; the portions are generous, taste great & the food you get actually looks like it does on their menu! I'd consider this restaurant the Flagship Store for the entire N. IL & S. WI area - i.e. you won't get it better, anywhere else!

Visited location several times, food is always really, really good! There is no comparison to taste and quality with Taco Bell. Taco Bell is disgusting to Taco John's. Always good tasting ingredients, the quality of each menu item is so good and delicious. When telling my friends about it, I compared it to Chipotle. Taco John's needs to open up more locations!!

Never been a huge fan of tacos, much to my surprise theses were fairly good. Flavorful, Good temperature, delivered in a timely manner. I tried the #8.

Taco John is basically a “Better Bell”. It’s all over the Midwest but not in Chicago. Glad to see them opening up here. Their crunchy tacos have more meat and flavor than a typical fast food taco. Love the Potato Ole’s which are tater tot coins. This location was very clean when I went and I will definitely return.
