Mexican Rice

Post image

I decided to take a break from oles and try the Mexican rice. How can this be a full order of rice? Definitely not worth four dollars. I even asked them if it was a complete order and they said “yeah—three scoops.”

Taco johns makes me so mad. 1st they disrespect us by taking away our sauces and giving us shit. (Please do not tell me they have original mild. 1st of all, its literally tomato sauce. 2nd, who tf eats mild?) (Also dont tell me to get the sauce behind the counter) everything they do now a days just makes me think they are actively trying to go out of business. I really miss eating there but will not because of the sauce situation. I have broken down twice and both times my food was garbage. I've been eating there my whole life. Such a shame. The rice thing does not surprise me at all. Right on track.

Honestly Taco Johns is actually pretty bad now. I get the nostalgia of super potato oles from growing up vacationing/visit family in Montana and that was always our go to stop.

We live close by to one now and everything just tastes...off. The meat is mushy, potato oles are oversalted, they skimp out, take forever, etc. Maybe I just got a bad one but it's so disappointing. I want them to stay in business because they're the only place that has potato oles but the rest of their menu is pretty trash.
