Yeah there’s an English fusion thing going on alright, I’ve never seen Mexican food with potatoes featured so prominently... but hey, it’s sounding like good grub and we’re kinda desperate for something new around here [Reply]
Not quoting everyone’s shit but they do have breakfast and it is good. Churros are great. Oles are good but super greasy. Overall Taco Johns seems to tear me up more than Taco Bell, not sure if that is a good or bad thing. [Reply]

My honeymoon started in Maryville, closing out The Palms, and I did the exact same thing. White tux was wasted. [Reply]
At first I got the Super Nachos every time. But the last time was probably almost 20 years ago which blows my mind to say. That was before I’ve had nachos at real restaurants so they could or could not be as good as I remember.
Back in the day I used to be able to pound a 6 pack and a pound but the last time I tried I didn’t even get half way though. [Reply]

That commercial sends a strong subliminal message that Taco John's sucks hard. [Reply]
TJ's rocks if you like cheap Americanized Mexican food. Back in the day it was the place to go after smoking a bowl. So I've heard.
Taco Bravo is awesome. So is their taco perfecto. Potatoe Ole's must be eaten hot. I've been to some locations where they under fill the product but the one I go to has older people running it that do a great job. Almost like the pictures on their website. [Reply]

I actually am a pretty bad consumer. However, I'm very profitable when handled correctly. Give me what I need, let me pay for it, and let's put the consumer-seller relationship on pause until my next visit.
I'm really starting to get into the online ordering and pickup thing, because that's pretty much exactly how that works. [Reply]
Driving me crazy I can't remember the name of a taco fast Mexican chain place in KC from the 70s with a huge sign shaped like a sombrero. I remember one on Blue Ridge. What was it? [Reply]
