Taco Johns

[Stradling]

I have heard somebody on here talking about that place, MT maybe, I saw one today. I am in Valley City ND with my brother (splint). Just thought I'd give you Taco John fans an update. Should I give it a try?

[Blarg]

Would you like Montezuma's revenge rolled up in a burrito? Sure go ahead.

If you like mediocre food that makes taco bell seem like authentic mexican food then have at it.  Valley City ND eh?  What are you doing there?  You are about seven hours from me.

In N Out must be looking to expand.

Our dad is getting up there in age and decided he'd had enough of the winters in ND, so we came to pack him up and move him to Ca with my brother.

It's on my bucket list. I see one in KC often and hear it's the worst.

Taco John's is to fast food what herpes is to free love. I hate it thoroughly and am offended by its existence.

[arch stanton]

Typical Eurocentric arrogance believing a guy named John can make a decent taco.

[Splint7438]

Well hell. I had hopes of something edible. We grew up in Anaheim which is the enter of the universe for Mexican food. Grew up eating all the major regions of Mexican food. My favorites are the Ball Road Region for its home style sides and the Euclid Region for the fresh ingredients. This is not to denigrate the Lincoln, Brookhurst, Harbor or Valley View regions of cuisine. ( I'll show you Eurocentric)

It took him that long?  He's a very patient man.

Dude. You're in NE, right. You guys have that Hot Pocket fast food place. That place is barely a notch above Taco Johns.

Truth. I know it's racist as hell, but if there's a Caucasian name in the title, I don't trust it

[Adam]

Sonic?

 

Runza!

 

It's gross

[CaliAngel]

You ever wanted tator tots wirh your taco?

 

Just reading this made me almost upchuck.

[mtangelsfan]

Taco Johns is to mexican food as the Yugo is to cars.

I wish Mexicans would realize how much their food is demanded in other parts of the country.  They could make a fortune with authentic Mexican food.  My cousin in Wisconsin gladly drives two hours to Milwaukee for what is a step or two better than El Pollo Loco.

I wish you guys the best with all of this.

 

Moving from ND to CA must be a culture shock for your dad. 

[Don]

Runza!

 

It's gross

As a matter of principle, I have not and will not ever enter a Runza. I'm arguably offended by Runza more than I am by Taco John's. First of all, cabbage should not be involved with fast food. Second, I can not trust the decision making process of anyone who names a dining establishment something very phonetically similar to a gastro-intestinal issue.

[Lou]

when I think of center of the universe for mexican food, Anaheim is always number 1 on my list.

Prague is number 2

My buddy had a dream of opening a mexican restaurant in NYC. Supposedly it's the one ethnic food not properly represented there.

 

Also my sister had mexican food when she lived in London. She told me she busted up when server told her to try the fajitas. He apparently didn't know the "j" was silent.

[Stradling]

Well my dad raised us in OC after he was raised in Iowa. He's only lived in ND for about 7 years. MT, you would like him, he's a man of faith and he's an ordained minister. My brother and I will be able to take better care of him than my sister, who also lives out here. By the way, this place is beautiful.

There is a small place here that just opened a couple years ago that is really good. I am about 20 minutes from milwaukee

They would make a fortune in Colorado.  I am not a fan of Tex Mex.

[Hollyw00d]

it seems like the fast food trend right now is putting jalapenos on everything

 

which I am ok with
