Taco Villa

So I stopped coming to this store about 4 months ago because the service was horrible. I usually make a big order so I always go in to order so I can check everything before I leave. 4 months ago I did just that and was informed that I must have misplaced a couple of combo burritos that were ordered and not put in the bag. Well I decided to give them another chance last week and was very impressed with the changes made. Looks like all new staff or at least it was the day I went. Was greeted nicely and order was correct the first time. The manager even offered to help carry anything out if I needed it and held a conversation with my daughter whom was there with me. That made her day, so we will definitely be back to this location.

Well it's better than Taco Bell. Back story: Being from Houston whenever we needed fast tex-mex we went to Taco Cabana. So when I moved to Lubbock there was no TC to be had but my girl friend (a local) said, you have to go to Taco Villa, it's way better than TC. I disagree, I think it's good, I don't think it's better than TC. So the battle has raged on for the better part of 5 years, till last night. The battle of TC vs TV is no more! Our order: #5 (A taco salad W/Steak), #3(A taco & burrito), and chicken nachos. The salad was good, I was a little taken back by the refried beans (added a strange texture I thought). They use a charred beef that was flavorful and added a nice texture to the salad. Also they use Ken's steakhouse dressing (really good stuff). The taco & burrito was everything you would expect from cheap fast food. Good filling. The one thing that TV has on TC is their salsa, it's soooo good and makes every menu item 5000% better, so next time skip the "red sauce" and add more fresh salsa. The nachos, I'm just going to tell you now, skip the nachos. I thought they were a big letdown. Small, unappetizing to behold, the chicken looked more like something we gave the cat. We didn't even finish them.
