Love their food, its always fresh and hot. I just wish they had hotter than hot sauce, like in Oregon. We always get the CRISP Meat Burrito, Mexican fries, or the Casita Burrito. Never been disappointed. Must try their white chicken chili, it has a great flavor. Their prices are fair and walkways leave full and satisfied. We never go home without a bottle of their hot sauce.

Disrespectful, Unprofessional, and Just Plain Lazy I come here often and usually spend between $40–$60. The food is pricey for fast food, but it’s normally pretty good — until tonight. I placed an online order and went through the drive-through. They told me it wasn’t ready yet and to pull around to the front parking spaces and they’d bring it out shortly — no problem. But after 20 minutes, no one came out, no one went through the drive-through, and I could clearly see three employees standing around inside talking, laughing, and pointing toward my car. Eventually I went inside to ask about my order, and as soon as I walked in, everyone suddenly walked away. One guy finally came over and asked how he could help. I told him I was waiting for the order I placed through the drive-through,

I was hungry while approaching I-5 North, so I turned into the last possible parking lot before the highway to find something to eat. I'd never been to Taco Time NW before, so I decided to try it. I was surprised by some of the taco ingredients (pinto beans and ranch dressing, for example), but I decided to give their tacos a try. The ranch was surprisingly decent. I enjoyed the tater tots that were served on the side. Some people might find them too salty, but I'm not one of them. I love salty food. The restaurant was clean and run well. I was going to use the bathroom before leaving, but there was a keypad on it. Due to the long line at the front counter, I didn't feel like trying to get the code. I drove home needing to go to the bathroom, but I didn't have far to go. Some of the menu

We stopped in for dinner. But they're machine wasn't working correctly. Couldn't take our payment. The lady asked her co-worker for help. She turned to us and said there is only 3 of us, I can't stop to help you. We just told her to cancel our order that we can go else where.
