Always delicious!! My husband loves the Deluxe Enchilada and I love the Southwest Chicken Salad! Also you can’t go wrong with just hard shell tacos!!! The soft shell are like a corn tortilla so not the usual flour tortilla I’m used to but still yummy!! Today I got FISH TACOS!!!! I got one regular and one San Diego style and I have to say that BOTH are delicious but I am IN LOVE with the San Diego style! It has cabbage instead of lettuce and a wonderful pico and a delicious sauce!!! So yummy!!! I would definitely recommend over and over again!!!

Super friendly staff and great food! First time visiting today and the young lady taking our order was very cheerful and had great suggestions and explanations since I was unfamiliar with the menu. Great food!

Great place the food is really good. From my own experience I had a good one. The people that made the food are good people. The restaurant it's self was clean and not to loud. Alot of restaurants you can't even seem to get a thought in. I'll be back if I ever have some money.

I stopped in for the first time this week. There were a good a mount of people in the restaurant and even more in the drive thru but the line moved quickly. The prices were very reasonable, especially for the portion size. My taco salad was tasty!!!

We actually got ours to go as we had two pups along with us. The place was packed!! The "fastfood" was at a level above fastfood in taste but the pricing made it an excellent value! The Texas Burrito, two Tacos, and Chili Cheese Tico Tots were very good! Service was both quick and friendly. The Cherry Empanadas were the only thing that surprised us as we were expecting them to be a traditional shape and Empanada crust. They were still very good and we'd order them again though. Overall a great experience.

They got our order right and the food was delicious as always. The update of the building looks great. They were fast and love the food.

Always a good experience when we eat here. Great food, clean tables, and kind stafd.

We got into fort Dodge a couple weeks ago and one of our first stops was at Taco tico because they were getting good reviews. Today I went back again and had the most outstanding service! I have a dairy allergy so I ordered my meal with no cheese when the girl behind the counter, and I don't know her name, was getting my meal from the cooks in the back she asked them which one didn't have cheese. They had put cheese on both of our orders. They remade my order without the cheese and I was able to head on home. Thank you so much for being conscientious and paying attention to what the customer needs. I would have been so heartbroken if I would have gotten home 20 minutes away and not been able to eat. Thank you again! I sure appreciate you! We will definitely be back!
