"I’ve posted on this TacoTime before, but do try the cold press coffee that is on sale for a limited time. It is great with the sugar-free vanilla flavoring and half-and-half creamer"

"Not even going to lie sis, get the soft beef burrito, add some of the spicy tots inside and some of the spicy ranch, it is actually so freaking good lol. Also I love the fire place, it's such a nice touch"

"My mom comes here every week. Many of the employees know her by name, and how she likes things "just so." I've been in a few times, and it is always extremely clean, and staff are friendly, especially to my mom. (Pretty sure they've adopted her...) She has been unable to swing by for a bit, so I've been picking up meals for her, and everyone asks about her. So kind! I like Taco Time, but this one is extra-awesome. Thanks!"
