Reviews for Taco John's in Poplar Bluff, MO
2 months ago i gave a 5 star review for this place, today we stopped by and the tacos were cracked in half, dripping with... grease, hardly any lettuce and the potato ole's were almost cold and had obviously been sitting for quite a while, don't knowwhat happened since last visit, perhaps a different staff. who in their right mind would scoop greasy meat onto a taco shell forsomeone to eat? Probably won't be going back. Read more
It's been years since I went to a Taco John's. Used to be my favorite. Not the same level of service that it was 30 years ago.... My favorite the churro looks like somebody sat on it and it was hard as leather. Other items were acceptable. Read more
Peak quality is an easy 5 stars, worst experience was probably 2 stars, bad experiences are pretty rare at most locations. The... quality is generally better than Taco Bell. You can taste the difference. If you like ingredients that don't look like they wereblended together, Taco John's is a clear winner. The Super Burrito (also has black olives by default) vs the Burrito Supreme isa great example. However, at this particular location, the ingredients aren't always as warm as I'd like, getting cold on aless than 5 min drive. I have never had that problem at the one in Cape Girardeau. But, anything that gets grilled or fried isgoing to be a safe bet even during slow hours. During lunch and dinner hours, it's usually all great. Their mild sauce isextremely mild for those with sensitive stomachs, and if you like heat, ask about their super hot sauce, they don't have packetsof it (it's a mildly chilled, fresh style, green hot sauce), depending on location, they might also have fresh house salsa as anoption, usually a mild to medium heat. Oh, and try the Mexi Rolls (in the 1990s they were tastier and bigger, but still tastesooo good) dipped in nacho cheese or guacamole. I just wish they would bring back their Mexican Pizza (that crust was amazing)and the ORIGINAL Mucho Grande Burrito (super-sized Super Burrito) from the late 1990s, the two times they brought it back, itgot smaller, the original was easily a meal for even a hungry teenager at the time (obviously it wouldn't still be around $3 -3.50 (maybe even $2.50), though a throwback price for a launch week promo would have it selling like crazy for a long while).

The AC must've been out because it may have been hotter than Hades in there! Every table was dirty & gross. There was no napkins... out. No toilet paper in the women's toilet. Tacos were just okay. We will try again. Read more
We thought we would try Taco Johns since we don't have one near us where we live. The building was nice and clean. Staff was... friendly and helpful. As for the food we felt it was a little over priced for the portion sizes. Food is not your standardtacos and burritos, they have a little bit of a twist in a good. The food was good and different. We did feel the food wasprepared rather sloppy considering we were the only ones there. Bottom line is we would go back as it was good food but notsomething we would eat on a regular basis. Read more
Eating here gave me nostalgia. I hale from the city that Taco Johns is headquartered and always loved grabbing some soft shell... tacos and some potato olés with nacho cheese when I lived there. I was skeptical at first with this location being so far awayfrom HQ (and me being spoiled by growing up with the flagship restaurants), but the Taco Johns in Poplar Bluff tastes just asgreat as the ones back West. Stop in and grab a bite! You won?t be disappointed! Read more
I was road tripping out west and decided to give this a shot. Its basically a Taco Bell with some different options but I will... say the tater tots and the queso was amazing! Read more
