I have brought home a beef enchilada on three different occasions. They have NEVER put chilli on it, sometimes it is rock hard (can't eat) or they forget other ingredients. This has happened more then once - about four times on various Sunday evening between 6:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. After you get the food home you don't want to be running back and forth because they are so incompetent. And, as you know, they are not cheap to end up in the trash can. Just what do the employees have on their minds because it is not making your food right.

I was overcharged for my order. My receipt says #16.75 but my bank says $30.49 was taken out. It would request a refund of $14.37.

It was very busy that Saturday and there was only one person taking orders and one person preparing orders.

The packets are smaller and the ingredients have changed as has the flavor.

The original sauce is why I shop at Taco John's.

This revised Mild sauce sucks.

Is Taco John's trying to emulate Tace Bell's crappy sauce?

I have been eating at this Des Moines, IA location for 45 years or so, through its many store remodels.

I'm not able to go to Taco Johns much but I'll tell you that my favorite is potato oles with hot sauce so you can imagine my disappointment when I tasted the new recipe. Yuck is all I have to say. They ruined it. Why, why why. It was good. All it tastes like now is taco seasoning. Totally disappointed.

I ordered 2 Oles with cheese and sour cream, what I got instead was extra salty potatoes. I was disappointed when I got home and no cheese or sour cream on potatoes.

$9.99 for 3 tacos with 4 tiny chunks of steak on it and my tacos are cold I won't be back ... paying $3 per taco I expect some meat on it! It shouldn't be cold either... if you can make me a believer by making it right we will visit again.

I would like my money back

I ordered queso and chips today andwhat I got was nacho cheese with tomatoes and beans and junk thrown in it. I also order an extra queso and was giving plain nacho cheese, lol. Queso is white and doesnt have tomatoe or beans or yellow cheese. Horrible.

The flavor was great but each taco of the 6 tacos we had 3 pieces of meat so They are not worth the price. It was all tortilla and not much anything in the taco! Taco Bell puts twice or more the meat and they cost less! I

My 1st time to try taco John's on taco Tuesday. Was so very disappointed. I ordered 2 /.89 tacos and small potato ole. I specifically asked does the cheese come with so I also ordered a side of sour cream. I noticed my receipt charged me for cheese also. I asked why, they said we made mistake. The tacos were pittyfull. Taco bell for me. Not happy

The taco Johns on Washington Ave in Evansville, indiana... Employee's in wife beaters, and making drug deals outside and smoking weed in parking lot. No manager anywhere. I've never felt so out of place, why is this even taking place in front of all customers, and staff and nobody is doing anything about it...

Three times in a row now, while going through the drive thru, my cashier has forgotten my sauce and hasn't given me any napkins in the bag. It's not that big of a deal, but if you're going to ask me if I want sauce and I say yes, I expect there to be some in the bag is all..

The manager, Greg, is very rude, yells at teen workers constantly and has a very bad attitude. Tells people in the drive thru to go home and cook for themselves. Very unprofessional and is causing business to lose a lot of customers and workers. Will not go back.

I don't order potato olays much, but every time I do it is like eating a salt pill, , maybe that's why, I just forget between times or hope it was a fluke! As I remember years ago they were lightly seasoned and differently better than salty fries. Now as bad or worse because they are harder to wipe off.
