Taco Johns

(4.6)
Taco Johns is a very popular restaurant in the US. The company started out in 1969 as a small taco stand in Cheyenne Wyoming. The company took off due to their creation of one of a kind tacos that no one in the community had seen before! The taco stand, which was originally owned by John, was picked up by two businessmen who purchased the rights to franchise the tacos served by John. Since then, the company has prided itself on creating tacos with bold flavors, and the company saw lots of success in sales. Anyone who loves tacos has taken part in the Taco Tuesday phenomenon, and this craze was started by Taco Johns! They have this phrase trademarked. Let’s have a look at the Taco Johns menu and what they have to offer!

Breakfast At Taco Johns

The breakfasts at Taco Johns are absolutely delicious. There are plenty of options to choose from to help you kick-start your day well! The meat and potato breakfast burrito is a great choice. You will love this cherished menu item! It is so beloved by customers that they asked for it to be added to the breakfast menu to enjoy earlier in the day.

Luckily, the restaurant listened and now you can enjoy this burrito with its fillings of scrambled eggs, Potato Oles, nacho cheese, and your choice of bacon or sausage early in the morning. This is especially great when purchased alongside one of Taco John’s delicious iced coffees, costing under $7.00 in most states. In some stores, you can buy these burritos on a 2 for $6 offer.

If you’re more of a sweet tooth at breakfast, you can opt for the delicious Mexican donut bites, currently under $2.00! If you think you deserve a little sweet treat (we think you do), Taco John’s Mexican Donut Bites are delicious bite-sized pastries that are rolled in cinnamon sugar, with a drizzle of rich cream cheese icing. They will definitely not disappoint.

Tacos At Taco Johns

It will come as no surprise to you that most of the favorites at Taco Johns are (drum roll) tacos! There are many different types of taco to choose from, including the delicious fried chicken taco, currently at $5.79. This bold taco has changed the fried chicken game! It features crispy chicken tenders with a choice of chipotle lime or spicy jalapeño ranch, crisp shredded lettuce, and cheddar cheese, inside a soft, flour tortilla wrap

There is also a combo available with two fried chicken tacos and a choice of sauce, as well as a side of Taco John’s signature Potato Olés. If that’s not enough, you also get a drink of your choice, but we highly recommend a refreshing Dr. Pepper. If you find the taco shells too messy, there’s something for you too, with the soft shell tacos.

If, like us, you find choosing from such a delicious menu very difficult, you can choose the street tacos trio for around the same price. This way, you will get to try a range of different tacos. Tacos aren’t the only main available at Taco Johns, though. The burrito options are also absolutely delicious and they provide a range of options.

The quesadillas on offer are also a great choice, especially the brand new Four Cheese Chicken Quesadilla. If you like your cheese, then this will be one piece of heaven! It is jam-packed with a cheesy blend of Queso Blanco, Asadero, Monterey Jack, and all-natural Cheddar cheese, on top of grilled chicken with zesty chipotle lime sauce. Placed inside a grilled soft flour tortilla, this is one of the best items currently on the menu. This is available à la carte or as a combo! As Taco Johns puts it themselves, this is “Bigger. Bolder. Better… And Cheesier.!

If you’re looking to make your Mexican food a meal, then you’ve come to the right place. Taco John’s offers absolutely delicious combos.

Nutrition At Taco Johns

You will find lots of information surrounding the nutritional value of the food offered on the Taco Johns menu. It is very important to stay on top of the nutrition that you are getting from your foods, as well as considering the number of calories that you are eating.

While there are some options that offer more nutritional value than others on this menu, you have to remember to have a cheat day every now and again!

Calories

The number of calories in each dish is listed on the menu and is also available in the restaurant. This makes it very easy for you to take note of the calories that you are eating. The number of calories in each dish will vary. For instance, if you choose to have a medium fried chicken taco meal, there will be 1770 calories in it.

This is because in one chicken taco there are 360 calories, and the combo comes with two of these. You will then have a portion of the potato olés. A medium portion of these contain 670 calories. If you have this with a medium Pepsi, which is 380 calories, the meal will equate to 1770 calories.

On average, it takes 30 minutes to 1 hour to burn off 500 calories. This is dependent on how rigorous your workout is.

Dietary Preferences

While Taco Johns are happy to accommodate any dietary requirements, as the menu is mostly chicken based, it is quite difficult for vegans and vegetarians. In order to find something suitable on the main menu, you would need to make some substitutes to the existing items.

Having said this, some of the sides are suitable for vegetarians. The potato olés do not contain any meat or fish items.

If you have any allergies, it is a good idea to mention this to the staff so that they are aware.
