We go to the Taco Bueno at 66th and N May a lot. The parking lot is so dark at night. There is no outside lighting at all. It's kinda scary going there at night.

Yes, because Braum's menu, when it comes to fast-food Tex-Mex, is unrivaled.

Since the issue seems to be resolved as it ever will be, I'd like to inquire about Braums. When will these Italian-influenced offerings drop?

Do you have any idea where they are going to rebuild it? We have already lost Golden Corral and Denny's. I hope they keep it closeby.

That taco bueno is HORRIBLE. My wife and I ate there about a month ago. They had many huge leaks in the dining area, with buckets everywhere. The air ducts were nasty looking as well. That place is dirty and has been for some time. Glad to hear they are rebuilding it.

I guess all you have to do is post on OKCTalk and problems get resolved. We drove by the restaurant tonight and all the lights are fixed and the parking lot is well lighted.Seems sad that it's been dark for so long and now that they are moving, the lights get fixed. We really don't eat there that often, but when we do go there, we like to feel safe. All is good now.

Oh no! What would we ever do without a Golden Corral and a Denny's. For real though, the restaurants you are talking about (taco bueno, golden corral and denny's) are some of the least attractive food destinations in OKC.

Let me guess... if it is not on N. Western in Edmond or Bricktown it is just not right to eat there. Not everyone has trust funds or the family credit cards to use everytime they get hungry.

I cannot speak for Denny's but... Golden Corral and Taco Bueno seem to never have a problem filling their parking lot at lunch and dinner.

Bueno makes a pretty good potato burrito. GC is good for a quick meal and not everyone can agree on what to eat. Denny's lost me as customer years ago. Way too many cold meals and rude/slow servers.

plenty of good, cheap local places that aren't just for the fashionably rich. i am neither fashionable nor rich and i hardly ever eat at the national chains.

i support my neighbors and they support me. so strap on your sense of adventure, do some research and try something new and exciting!

Someone's out of touch with reality. Many of the local places are the same or CHEAPER, than the crappy chain places, not to mention have much better food and better quality.

well said, I'm sure not a trust fund kid, and don't believe in credit cards. Just a hard working professional like most people who eat in Bricktown, N. Western Ave, Classen, NW 23rd, etc.. Sorry but I'd rather spend $7 at BTT for some quality food with local ingredients than $7 at Golden Corral at the feeding troughs and sending the profits out of state for some reheated frozen food.

taco beuno is awesome, by far its the best fast food tex-mex option.

i would honestly rather have beuno than even sit down mexican restaurants like teds, senior tequilas, chielino's (sp), etc...well; especially for the price.

Somehow I think you could get the same information from any vent hood in any restaurant in America. Its like knowing what is in a hot dog, some things are better left unknown.

Jim and Metro..

Too each hi/her own when it comes to their preferences on where to eat.

I am not one to drive all over the place to grab a bite to eat especially when it means I have to pay $10 to park in Boozeville with a concrete drainage ditch.

I go to the places that are nearby and easy to access right here in MWC. Gas is too expensive to waste on a meal out unless it is a special occasion. By the way we have some great little local spots that are just as good such as the Checkerboard, Mr. Spriggs, Primo's and Lupe's just to name a few.

Hah, love it..Boozeville with a concrete drainage ditch. I actually LOL'd at that & totally agree with you. There are a few places in the area that I'm interested in trying but the inconvenience outweighs the benefit as far as I'm concerned. I was showing my fiance, who is from Tampa FL, around town once & drove thru Bricktown. He asked me about the canal and was like umm...people around here PAY to ride around in a ditch??

Back on topic to Taco Bueno. I've never eaten at the Bueno that started this thread and I'm not usually a fan (I prefer Mayo) but ended up eating at the Bueno in Moore over the weekend & their chicken tortilla soup was VERY good. Also tried a steak fajita taco, it was good too.

To qualify this statement let me first state that I will always prefer more traditionally crafted mexican meals, however, if in a hurry Taco Bueno in my opinion has a far better flavor profile and price point than any of its competitors. Now that doesn't mean cheapest, but cost to taste and quality.

I wish that they had them in Houston. They have them down the I-35 corridor all the way to New Braunfels, TX but not San Antonio, and not in Houston...I have to get my fix when I am on the road through those areas.

I used to live in the Westshore area of Tampa loved Florida and its wonderful beaches and weather but Tampa by far is the dirtest, nastiest city to live. Talk about a dead downtown and Bayshore Drive stinks like sulfur and the nasty bay! Anyway, not to get off topic but Taco Bueno is very popular fast food down here in Dallas. I also like their tortilla soup!!

What????? Tampa is a clean city, especially the clearwater area. As far as dead downtown, maybe the CBD at times, but did you go to Ybor? Another super clean city is Jacksonville.

He hasn't been living in Tampa by choice; he's in the Air Force & was moved there on a humanitarian when his father was diagnosed with leukemia, it's the closest base to where his folks live in Fort Lauderdale. He says there are a few areas that he likes but overall Tampa isn't his thing. We're moving to Utah next month, so we'll see if we like that better.

Back on topic though, what's the deal with Taco Bueno giving you a thousand containers of hot sauce? When I got my taco & soup, they asked if I wanted sauce, I said sure....came home & they had given me 15 of those little containers. Really? 15? for ONE taco and ONE cup of soup?? So wasteful!

In the past couple of years they opened a couple in Conroe and The Woodlands. They had plans for a few more in Houston, but I don't know if that's still the case.

i agree with all said, except Dennys...thats some good eatin', mate.

I prefer Taco Mayo anyday to Taco Bueno

Western Sizzlin is leagues better than Golden Corral.

Taco Bueno is just nasty beyond nasty, a friend that used to work there told me horror stories..that they add animal lard to their refried beans to make it thicker. That they let their "fresh" condiment station set out all day long, flies on the pico de gayo, salsa, chili sauce, onions, etc. Their guacamole is very gross.

When I used to eat there, if felt like I was eating nothing but muddy sludge with all that sour cream, guac, beans and cheese sauce. eeewww.

Taco Mayo has way less quality of products than Bueno.
Western Sizzlin is probably the most underrated restaurant in the metro, good steaks for the money!
Lard in refried beans, well guess what, almost every mexican place does that.
Condiment station, about the same procedure anywhere you go.
