Taco Time

After working a shift in the same plaza, I thought I’d check this place out for a quick bite before heading home. I went in and ordered a beef burrito to go and what I received, I found to be particularly amusing.
This place cooks like someone who had heard about Mexican food. Like someone was explaining a burrito to them and in the middle they said ‘Ok, ok, I totally get it. Turn on the open sign’. The burrito I received was about 90% tortilla, with a small smattering of meat and veggies collected at the base.
I gave this place two stars instead of one because technically I did order a burrito and they gave it their best shot.

I made a mistake of eating at this place. I had 2 hard shell chicken tacos and 1 nacho deluxe. Chicken was bland and very watery. It looks like it just came from the freezer to the table top food warmer. Taco shells were stale and toppings were not fresh at all. Nacho deluxe with beef tasted disgusting. Beans was watered down because when I walked in she was actually adding water in to bean pan thats already cooked. They do this so that it won’t dry out and the only time the bean pan will dry out if you have no costumers buying food. The nachos were stale also and placed under a heat lamp that was not working. The meal cost including a small drink was $ 16 which I thought was very expensive when you’re are just going to puke it out after. One thing good about this place is the big screen TV with sports channel. I expect this to go under in 6 months just for the sake of their lease rental agreement.

One of the worst restaurant experiences we have had. From the service to the food, all terrible and definetely not reccomended. Stale tacos, food sitting out for hours likely and when we expressed our concerns about the food not being fresh, they played the «racism» card on us. Unbelievable! Stay away as there are a LOT of better options to eat in the area.

Got two tacos on soft shells. $ 6 total. One chicken, one beef.
Beef was good. but kind of fell apart. Chicken was watery and chewy. Had a weird texture to it. ugh!
Service was super nice but the food itself was totally underwhelming!

I just moved to Ajax and found Taco Time while driving around the local neighbourhood. I enjoy it much more than the place with the talking chihuahua. I’ve never seen a drop of grease dripping from the tacos. The quality of their food and freshness of the ingredients really make it stand out. The owners are very friendly and obviously very hard working. I highly recommend Taco Time as a better and healthier alternative to Taco Bell.

When it comes to Mexican this is as good as it gets. My favorite is the crisp meat burrito. This is well worth the drive regardless of where you’re coming from. As competition goes Taco Bell mucho burrito and taco Del Mar don’t even come close. Everything is made fresh and has a quality unlike the competition.

Across from the Metro Grocery Store, and beside Hoops Sports Bar & Grill is Taco Time.
I have to say, it’s a pretty run of the mill taco place, similar to Mucho Burrito, but certainly a step up from Taco Bell. Taco shells, tortillas, chicken or beef, and you can pick your vegetables, sauce, and cheese toppings.
I ordered the Crisp Beef Burrito, and made a meal of it with their «Mexi-​fries» and a drink, as well as a dessert of an apple empanada.
The Crisp Beef Burrito was not a real burrito by definition as it did not contain any beans. Basically it was spiced ground beef in a tortilla and deep fried. No toppings, no vegetable content. A little bland for my liking, however had very pleasant textures, especially the fried tortilla, very crispy.
I added some of their medium red hot sauce, but for me it lacked a vinegar/​salt flavor. I appreciate that the hot sauce is likely made in restaurant, and is in a squeeze bottle so that I can add it to anything, in whatever quantity I desire.
«Mexi-​fries» = Tater tots. Meh. I just had them plain, but you can have them made Deluxe. (With sour cream, cheese and salsa, a la fries supreme at Taco Bell.)
The real star was the dessert, the apple empanada, They took apple pie filling (Likely from a can) and rolled it in the same tortilla as the crisp beef burrito, and deep fried it. Then they covered it in a whole mess of cinnamon and sugar. It was really good, again the texture of the tortilla is light and very crisp. And quite large actually, the same size as my Beef Burrito.
The service from the couple that likely owns the place was great, they were very gracious, made recommendations, («Try the hot sauce on the fries», They suggested the Crisp Beef Burrito as it was the more original item that stood out from the rest of the menu.)
They have a few tables and TV, so you can eat in or take out.
Would I go back? Sure, if I’m in the area.
