Taco Town
Nov 6, 2006 by Cat from Carthage, Missouri
Overall Rating: 4
Food:[6] • Service:[8] • Atmosphere:[1]

• Food cheap and filling, service is good and friendly.
• Decor is old and dirty looking, needs updating something awful.

“Taco Town is nothing if not consistent. I have been eating there since the mid to late 70's and I swear the food nor has menu not changed in all these years. That is not necessarily a bad thing. The food is cheap and filling but does not taste like authentic Mexican fare. Here's the bad news, the menu hasn't changed and neither has the decor. The place is usually not very clean looking and the furnishings are old and beat up looking. What would it take to slap some new paint on the walls and buy some new chairs and tables? I swear at one time for a period of years one of the plate glass windows had a large crack and looked like it could fall in on you while you were eating at anytime. In fairness, I do think this has been repaired, but it took years! I do like the food every now and again, but wish the management would just take some time to clean the place up a little bit. I'm not saying it is dirty enough to be a health violation, but certainly is not very appetizing. With new more authentic Mexican restaurants moving into the Carthage area I feel Taco Town needs to "clean up its act" so to say, in order to compete. But the food cheap and not bad tastes if you don't mind the surroundings.”
