Old school Taco Time is dead, or at least the NW locations are, just like the old school saying “Good Good Fresh Fresh”. (FYI, you can still find an authentic Taco Time experience in Eastern WA, Oregon, Idaho, and Montana). The tacos I ate tonight were nothing more than lettuce in a shell…. Taco Bell would have been better, and that’s sad because Taco Time used to blow Taco Bell out of the water!
The food is barely recognizable these days due to how much they’ve shrunk it down and the quality changes. The crisp burritos are more like taquitos, the famous crispy tacos that used to be stuffed with meat and cheese are now just a small shell with mostly lettuce. Portions are tiny and prices are through the roof. No more self serve hot sauce or ketchup, which they now charge for. If I’m paying nearly $15.00 for a combo meal, or any meal for that matter, I expect to walk out the door satisfied. Visiting a Taco Time NW is not satisfying these days, which is why I visit less and less often after every disappointing visit. I’ve been eating at Taco Time for over 40 years and I’ve never been so disappointed. At least this location isn’t remodeled, because the remodeled locations are hip and unrecognizable… they suck! Oh and the MEXI Fries are now Tater Fries, and the MEXI platter is now a Fiesta Platter (2022 change)….. How PC of them. Question - are we still eating MEXICAN Food? A boycott is in order, for all fast food, but Taco Time NW deserves it the most. I, like many others, are very disappointed with Taco Time NW!
