Taco John's

This restaurant was filthy. Only half of the soda fountains had anything on them. No napkins were available. Both paper towel and toilet paper dispensers were empty and broken. I have never seen a restaurant this dirty and greasy. Floors, tables and chairs were disgusting. Outside steps were even greasy and slippery. I am sure if this place was inspected it would be shut down immediately.

I’m glad they’ve had enough staff now to be open inside on Sundays, it was a big deterrent during peak COVID to know only the packed drive thru was available. I’ve not seen it that busy myself since Speed I think is good, with just recently a quiet day yielding a Super Taco combo within 3 minutes.nnThe interior is functional, never seen it packed full, and sometimes a bit unkempt. but if I’m going to choose between minding an occasional stray lettuce or the mentioned drive thru, I’ll take care of myself their drive thru isn’t bad though, I just don’t want to eat in my carnnFood quality is I guess what you’d get from other Taco John’s, being average Mexican-USA’n food. but those potato oles can disappear like popcorn, very enjoyable I don’t recommend keeping their food very long to eat later though, because besides the potato oles their deliciousness fades fast.nnOverall, I miss the red color scheme, but still like eating here on occasion. Just please let me come inside.

Yum! I had to stop and eat since all of the Taco John’s locations closed in Fargo, ND. The potatoe oles are so yummy.

This particular location is either fantastic or absolute garbage, and ne’er the twain shall meet. I know not the cause, but it is defined by chance, whim, or impulse. As with Forrest Gump’s insistence, so is the case with Brookings Taco John’s; “you never know what you’re gonna get.”

The best, cleanest TJ’s in the country . Deserves nothing less than 5 stars. Just wish they still had apple grandes.
