Tuscaloosa Restaurant Guide

I live in southeast Ga now and have since I was four - that is 24 years. That is 24 years thatI couldn't have my Taco Casa daily...ugh! I want more of the chain all over the state. I love the sauce and everytime we go home for a visit..we buy them and bring them back with us. They bay far blow Taco bell out of the water and cannot wait to sink my teeth into another burrito with some of that GREAT sauce!!! I love Taco Casa and suggest it to everyone I ever take home with me! My kids and hubby love it too!

I left Tuscaloosa 27 years ago after graduating. I have missed Taco Casa for 27 years. On the rare occasions when I have business in Georgia, I rent a car and drive the 5 hour round trip to Birmingham and eat at Taco Casa. I am also sad that the Hwy280 location closed when I went there about 3 years ago. I wish Taco Casa would bottle their sauces for online ordering.they would make millions!

i visit the location on ricemine rd in northport always at one point in time they really sucked but they finally got it right, stephanie and cynthia the night people, managers ,i think, are awsome they are always friendly and always make sure you fill at home there.the workers are always willing to help out with bring us our food and drinks. and the one girl there is soooo sweet, dana or deanna i think anyways, the rock. i dont like any other location as much as this one. keep it up

I grew up in Auburn, moved to Tallahassee in the early nineties, but always remembered a restaurant with the BEST tacos in the whole world. Never found any tacos anywhere else that tasted like them. The Auburn location is long gone, and I couldn't even remember the name of the restaurant. I was in Tuscaloosa last week on business, and SAW THE BIG CACTUS!! I entered, it smelled the same, ate tacos and burritos (with the plastic wrap!!!), and was in heaven. YEAH, Taco Casa!!!!!

Like so many others here I used to lived in Tuscaloosa and never knew what I had until it was gone. I now live in Atlanta and eat at Taco Casa every time I go home to T-Town to see the family.

The Taco Salad (with adequate salsa and picante sauce) is delicious. However, without enough sauce and/or salsa, the salad is too dry and rather bland. I have found that EVERY Taco Casa in Tuscaloosa is way too stingy with the sauce. I always have to pay "extra" for enough sauce. That's just plain ridiculous. Even when I offer to PAY for extra sauce and/or salsa, I find the employees are very guarded in providing enough sauce. Why are they so protective of the sauce?? Don't you think keeping the customer happy is worth more than a couple of small cups of mild sauce? If this "charge for the extra sauce" policy continues then Taco Casa may end of "keeping the sauce" and losing the customers.

I've never known a restaraunt to please everyone... but I have always been very pleased with Taco Casa food and service.... I've been going all my life and never had a bad experience.... The food is outstanding and the service is very proffesional.... NO COMPLAINTS HERE!!!! I just wish there were more of them....

Growing up in Tuscaloosa brought many fond memories, but none more than Taco Casa. I have yet to find any food that compares. Their tacos, burritos, messe nachos, and taco salad have to be #1 on my list of favorite foods ever! The first stop on ANY trip back to Tuscaloosa for my wife and I is Taco Casa...and it probably always will be.

I've fond memories of Taco Casa, used to love their bean burritos. Unfortunately, the location where I live is long defunct, so if I spot one in my travels, I have to stop in!

I went by the Taco Casa location on Hwy 280 today and much to my dismay saw that it was CLOSED!! Also found out that the Wildwood location has also closed!! What happened?? The last couple of times I was at the 280 location, it seemed like the service behind the counter had seriously diminished--too much horseplay by the young workers behind the counter and not enough attention being paid to the food prep. The Hwy 280 location has been there forever, the good food and service that was once there will be missed!!

The Drive thru is very slow and last night I had the worst experience, the female at the drive thru window, reached into the lemon bowl with her ungloved 3 inch yellow plastic nails (using them as a tong) to pick up the lemons to go into my tea and proceeded to stick her fingers into my drink to place the lemons into the cup, I will never eat there again. Inside or out. This was at the Northport Location in the Tuscaloosa area, but I will not eat at any of the locations after that experience.

I grew up in Tuscaloosa Alabama and moved to GA when i was 16 . I regret it everyday . WHY? I miss Taco Casa soooooooooooooooo much. The food is always so good the service might be a little slow when it is busy but it is sooooooooooooooo worth it . I would give my hole paycheck just to have a shipment of Sancho's and the cinnamon and sugar chips sent to my house everyweek. I Love Taco Casa And everybody I have ever taken there with me feel in LOVE with it to . I wish they were arround like Taco Bell they would so put them out of buisness.Best food Ever.

I was in Tuscaloosa on my way to Louisiana and ate at taco casa. There were seven of us and we all thought it was awful. Everything was frozen and heated up and the burritos had something that resembles a tire mark texture on the tortilla. Two people opted for McDonalds. The enchillada or whatever it was, looked like cheap nacho cheese floating in a black plastic something. Either way if you want some bad food or a really good laugh go to this place.

I live in Birmingham, AL and luckily there are two Taco Casa locations surrounding me. However, I WISH WISH WISH there were more! It's truly not right that people from all over can't enjoy the food more often! BUILD MORE TACO CASA'S!!!! Love you guys!

I LOVE TACO CASA!! I Live in Washington now and have for 3 years and I tell people all the time about how much I miss my Taco Casa and it is the 1st place I go to when I visit back home. I cant wait to move back to Tuscaloosa, ALabama jsut so I can go back to being able to eat my Taco Casa a couple of times a week. It is so great!!!

Taco Casa is the best place in Tuscaloosa for Mexican food. Great food, friendly service, and the owner is a very nice guy, as well.

Love the food

Northport service is sooooooooooo slow, I waited 8 minutes 9-20-06 @5:pm at the order station with no one in front of me but 5 angry cars behind me. Finally after horn blowing she took my order. This is the most I've waited, but they are normally slow. See you at the Mall.

This is by far the best mexican food anywhere. I would drive another 16 hours to eat there. I wish they delivered.

Taco Casa is the best mexican food ever!!!!I live in Georgia, but i'm from T-Town Bama. And when me and my family come home taht's our first stop when we get there and the last stop when leaving.

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Taco Casa. Best food in ever and I crave it all the time! Fresh ingredients and made to order. Anything on the menu is good, you will not be disappointed if you try it. So much better than Taco Bell!

Taco Casa is THE best Mexican restaurant in Alabama. When we come to Alabama football games, we eat Taco Casa several times every weekend. Try the tacoburger or sancho and the sweet tea is the best around. Also, for dessert, try a bag of sopapias.

Their sauce is sooooo good. can i buy some, and have it shipped to Dothan. AL? I to miss Tuscaloosa. Roll Tide!

I have been eating Taco Casa food for 30 years. It remains one of my favorite fast food restaurants. My family can hardly wait to visit relatives in Tuscaloosa becaue they know we will be eating Taco Casa several times during our visits.

It has been a year since my family and I were in Taco Casa. I can hardly wait just one more week. We plan to drive over from Americus, GA just to eat there. Maybe we will have time to stop and see mom. Taco Cassa is the best fast food in the world!!!!

I have been eating at Taco Casa for 15 years. It's the only place I go when I go home to Tuscaloosa. I prefer it over Mom's cooking anyday! The sancho, tacos, enchiladas, beefy nachos, messe nachos...EVERYTHING IS PERFECT!

Taco Casa is the best! If only I still lived in Tuscaloosa.

I LOVE IT!!!!!

I have lived near TACO CASA for years and do like the food. But the Service at the Northport location is painfully slow, and should be avoided during any normal eating hour. While the food remains excellent, the service leaves a bad taste.

I'm from Tuscaloosa and I love Taco Casa!!! It's definitley my favortie fast food restaurant. The food is just so yummy! We usually go there at least once a week...! So, if you love Mexican food and want something quick, Taco Casa is the place to go!!!!!

Taco Casa Rocks! I am from Tuscaloosa and still have the pleasure of living just a few miles away from one in Birmingham! I take friends to eat there often and most have never gone before but, quickly become fans! If only they served coca cola products they would be truly perfect!

Great Food! Great Price!
Try the Chili Burrito and Beefy Nachos!

this place is disgusting. they sell taco burgers. what could be more nasty?

It's Taco Casa, what else can be said. I worked there when I was in school and I still love it. Clean, fast and tasty, I go everytime I'm in Tuscaloosa.

All I have to say is that Taco Casa is great-I love the food(especially the enchilada-extra cheese,extra meat-hmmmm yummy!! I am a German citicen(married to an Alabama-boy) and whenever we go to Tuscaloosa , Taco Casa is almost the only place I eat-It is just so gooood!!I`d love to have the recipe for the Enchilada`s!!!! Anyways,whoever get`s a chance to go there - I highly recommend it.Greetings from Germany...
