Customer Reviews
Great people working here. Terrific customer service. The guy working was extremely patient with me as I don't often get to Taco John's and not familiar with menu. He guided me thru the choices and helped me order lunch. My food was made fresh to order and came out hot. The restaurant area was very clean and up to date but appeared a bit drab which is not to take away anything from it functionality.
UPDATED REVIEW 09/23/2025 TACO JOHNS, YOU HAVE AMOTHER HIT IN YOUR HANDS WITH YOUR POTAOE BUN TACO BURGER. I herd about the TACO John's Taco Burger coming back with the Potatoe Bun so I tried it with Sour Cream and tomatoes added and it was delicious. I ordered it if my Taco Johns App so that my points would be added since I realized as of the above mentioned date the app will not let you add points. Back to their Taco Burger. It's a must try and pairs well with Potato Ole's added for extra crunch but even if you order 1 make sure to at least add the sour cream and diced tomatoes on it to make it beyond greatness. This TACO John's location gets a lot of flack but in all honesty if you go in there and let them know how you want your order made, the will make it right. The staff are friendl
This location is actually destroying taco John's name. The service is horrendous, and food is prepared incorrectly. I ordered a boss bowl and I got a burrito. They replaced the burrito for a bowl, and this is what I got. (Picture) i got a salad dressing with a side order of lettuce, rice beans, and four pieces of steak. This seems to be a common practice at this location because other people have complained about it. If you're craving tacos, this is not the spot to stop at. I will fortis review to corporate. I just opened up my taco fiesta, 2 for $5 deal and this is what you'll get instead of what they advertise.
The food was amazing the tacos tasted like a good chef made them and they were so nice and they gave me a free drink the only bad part is is that they are really hard to understand but when you order it’s good from there.
Totally understaffed at 6:30 p.m. One poor worker swamped people waiting for extended periods of time to get food after they ordered. I heard most saying that if they'd known that they would have to wait as long as they did they wouldn't have stopped. The state of Kansas turnpike authority evidently is not doing their job, ensuring that the vendors that they allow to occupy these spaces on the turnpike are quality and efficient clean. Shame on the turnpike authority. The stop is an embarrassment to the state and it's turnpike system.
