I am not exaggerating...MOUNDS!<br /><br />My wife got a Tostada and said she should have gotten two of them. <br /><br />Service was fantastic and fast. We will be back.<br /><br />AaronAaronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06984584737496827639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3662006633701786645.post-56983077176260512732012-03-08T17:32:00.781-06:002012-03-08T17:32:00.781-06:00Hi Anon,
So here's the deal. The Taco Casa...Hi Anon,<br /><br />So here's the deal. The Taco Casa's in Alabama are a different chain. There are 3 unrelated Taco Casa chains I know of. There's the one based in Gainesville, Texas as you referred to (and the subject of my post). The one you're referring to is based in Alabama. I had better luck than you, but it was in Birmingham, so maybe just a better store? I only went once though. There's also the Taco Casa chain in Topeka, which is outstanding - and interestingly enough for you - they have a couple of stores in Vicksburg, Mississippi! (other side of the state - but still...). I've actaully been to that one, and liked it though not as good as the Topeka stores.<br /><br />Anytway, I hope you find a better Taco Casa (Alabama).<br /><br />Thanks for your comment!<br /><br />- RJGRJGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06897774906997130618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3662006633701786645.post-70523541178302590452012-03-08T12:04:56.472-06:002012-03-08T12:04:56.472-06:00I grew up in Gainesville and TC was a staple.

I then went to college at SOSU in Durant, so the TC there both fit my budget and taste (they had an all you can eat night on Monday). However...I now live in East Mississippi and there are several TCs just across the state line in AL but they are horrible. They have similar menu, but that’s where the similarities end. Poor service, poor taste, kinda pricey when compared. Your first TC experience has to be in Texas, preferrably G.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3662006633701786645.post-26703410240830686132010-06-17T14:23:13.873-05:002010-06-17T14:23:13.873-05:00WOW...We here in Abilene, Texas must now be in the...WOW...We here in Abilene, Texas must now be in the big league since we just got a Taco Casa.

Sorry you had a bad visit. To your comment...Chris,<br /><br />Sorry you had a bad visit. To your comment about the Health Report, the health statistics are published in the Keller Citizen for each restaurant in the area. I haven't looked in a long while, but this location had a perfect score, which is unusual in itself. Even the cleanest places get demerits.RJGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06897774906997130618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3662006633701786645.post-67553771653892399222009-09-12T20:01:19.309-05:002009-09-12T20:01:19.309-05:00My visit was horrible.

There were <b>bugs</b> in my drink, and I requested a refund for my drink and only the remaining food that I had not eaten and that too was denied. (FYI, I spent $26 and was only requesting $3.50 refund.)<br /><br />The manger admitted there was a bug problem and then went on to tell me that there are bugs in every restaurant including my house and that I should get over it. I filed a police report and plan on contacting the health services on Monday.Chris Grahamnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3662006633701786645.post-3056666958734338902009-03-29T11:47:00.000-05:002009-03-29T11:47:00.000-05:00Hi Ferny,Thanks for your comments. I couldn't agre...Hi Ferny,<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your comments. I couldn't agree with you more concerning both Taco Casa, and the effect of Wall Street profit demands verse putting out a quality food product consistently (witness Taco Bell). I have a large editorial post somewhere on this blog that addresses this situation.<BR/><BR/>Taco Casa is probably the best fast food taco chain in Texas, but some of the best chains are up in Kansas like Taco Tico, Taco Grande, Taco Rio (only one Wichita locale now - but it's the best of all), Taco Casa (different than the Texas or Alabama chains). And many more... I had intended on writing a full taco guide, but it's been awhile since I've been to these chains (two years at least).RJGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06897774906997130618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3662006633701786645.post-56937381826553544172009-03-28T16:20:00.000-05:002009-03-28T16:20:00.000-05:00RJG,Taco Casa is what I consider the best fast foo...RJG,<BR/><BR/>Taco Casa is what I consider the best fast food taco chain. In my opinion they strive to be what Taco Bell was like back in the 70's-80's. Taco Casa actually makes their food on-site versus Taco Bell where they are essentially just re-heating everything. By making their food I'm talking frying the shells, pressure-cooking the beans, actually cooking ground beef, etc. I also like the fact that Taco Casa actually puts cheese on the items that are supposed to have it. Last time I went to Taco Bell (serious mistake on my part), I could count the number cheese shreds in each taco. In general, fast food was better growing in the 70's/80's....those mega corporations just try to cut costs and it really does end affecting the food.fernyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08027148470684232762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3662006633701786645.post-53342907084895128442009-01-05T13:44:00.000-06:002009-01-05T13:44:00.000-06:00Thanks Blake for writing in - always great to see ...Thanks Blake for writing in - always great to see this kind of feedback from the owners!
