White Center, and I'm going to Taco Time for dinner? We probably have 15 better Mexican options within blocks!
I need dinner for the family quick, want a crisp beef burrito, don't want to get out of my truck, and haven't been drunk enough to go to Taco Bell for, well, a really long time. So unless there is a drive up Taco Truck, the TT drive thru wins. Seriously, is there a drive thru taco truck? Did I just come up with the next big thing since food truck pods??
Waiting in line for my order I contemplated writing about how they ALWAYS mess up my order. Then I thought that was probably too harsh, maybe it's only like 50% of the time. But hey, it's probably my fault for ordering for 4-6 people while in the drive thru. Perhaps they should have a maximum two meals per car, bet the error rate/car would plummet.
I get to the window and find out one of the kids meals ordered doesn't come with a toy any more. OK, but the other one should, but they put crustos in that one. Guy added a cool sticky hand to the order.
He's got 5 beverages to give me and wants to know if I'd like a drink carrier, nah - I'll just hold them between my legs.
Then hands me the bags of food. Since he asked me if I wanted hot sauce earlier, and I said 3, I asked him if he put them in there. He said yes, but hesitated a little, uh oh. I drive away and hope for the best when I get home.
Get home, no napkins, no ketchup for the tater tots, or HOT SAUCE. The two Crisp BEAN burritos are Beef, not good for the vegetarian, and the chicken taco salad is a joke, what is this little thing with 2oz of lettuce? The receipt looks like what I got, just not what I ordered.. But that was probably my fault too. I was too busy trying to check in here while I was ordering that I really didn't pay attention to what was popping up on the order screen.
I used to really like this Taco Time. I think the quality of the vegies are pretty high, but the meat quality/quantity has been sliding for years. This place also used to have really good (free) salsa fresca available, but now it's just that viscous hot sauce.
It is what it is, this place is a solid 3 when dining in, plus I get to play with the 100 flavors of pop that way. It's not on my banned list, yet.
