Seriously this is the most repulsive looking food I’ve ever seen in my life. The beans are dripping oil producing more oil as I sit and look at it, and the oil was covered all over my chips. The guacamole was just thrown in there, and then they gave me just random little pieces of chips. Service Take out Meal type Lunch Price per person $10–20

Guilty pleasure snack on the go is the chicken fajita roll up. Staff was very polite Food: 5 Service: 5
I will apologize for the length as I am very irritated and I should add the 2 starts are for the people who helped me, NOT FOR THE FOOD! Okay, my wife and I have been lifetime fans of Taco Bueno and were sad when we left the state for a few years. We were then really excited when we returned so we could choose from places like Whataburger and Taco Bueno. Sadly, we have now experienced the “final straw” and Taco Bueno will not be missed around our home any longer. The last 3 times we have been, twice we went to Alliance, which we decided was a huge mistake as it was nasty, this time my wife said we need to give them one more chance as she was craving the MaxiDips and chips, so I drove to the Watagua store. The people were very friendly but the food has stepped on the final straw. The tacos were oblong and distorted and we wondered how anyone would allow that taco shell to be used and they chose to use. Teaspoon measuring the amount of meat and ingredients barely filling the lower, less than half inch of the taco itself. I’ve had better tacos at Taco Bell and that is saying something. The distribution of the ingredients is a joke as you will see in our Combo Burrito that we added sour cream to. It looks like they just rolled the burrito and squirted the sour cream in after the fact. I’ve never understood how someone couldn’t take a literal half second and spread the ingredients equally so every bite will taste as close to the same as possible. I’ve posted pictures below and obviously you can judge for yourself. Godspeed to them, as I’ve seen a multitude of Bueno closing and this may be the reason. Rodney

I payed $43 for a family of 3. Many items had very little meat. One taco had none. Literally lettuce and cheese on a tortilla. They are cutting too many corners and skimping too much on product. Not worth the $$$. I am no longer a customer. I won't go back. Food: 1 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 1

This is my favorite Taco Bueno. The food is always fresh. they give you enough when you order. If you Buy extra sauce or meat on something you know you are getting what you paid for. The window people are usually really friendly. I just wish the one lady wouldn't make people feel bad for asking for military or senior discounts. We understand she don't want to ask for it but our family does. Service Take out Meal type Lunch Price per person $10–20 Food: 5 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes Guacamole

Food was good. On the costly side for fast food but still good. Feel like I got cheated on my guacamole and sour cream. That just means they might need some quality control Service Take out Meal type Lunch Price per person $1–10

slimy lettuce, WET taco shells (greasy meat?), and RED UNCOOKED portions of meat mixed into cooked meat. Disgusting 🤮 i’ll NEVER be back. i wish the photos showed how slimy the lettuce was.

In almost 40 years of eating Bueno, this has got the be the worst muchaco I’ve ever been served. I wish I could go in and make the food myself at this location because whoever was cooking in the kitchen on 6/17/23 around 9:30 shouldn’t be working in a kitchen. Food: 1 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1
This is such a pretty restaurant! It's got a small dining area but seems adequate for the number of people eating inside. The service was pretty quick and the food was hot. This will be the location I will always be going to when I want quick mexican food. Service Dine in Meal type Lunch Price per person $1–10
Checking out the new Bueno in Watauga. I was surprised to see them use an old Krispy location. But it works. The interior looks a lot better then the normal Buenos. And has a nice modern look. Staff was friendly and greeted me fairly quick. It was interesting to see the kitchen so open..one of the guys was making beans. I ordered a #1 combo. Everything tasted fresh rhe pita bread for the Muchaco was perfect. I've had some in the past that feel a little tough especially on the ends. However this one was nice and soft. Beans tasted fresh. Not completely mixed all the way but I prefer that. Taco was packed with meat. I will definitely be back to this location for more.
