### 2/5 — Can’t redeem reward in app

*2026-07-12, version 3.3*

The app is mostly good, but I can’t redeem the rewards in the app. I’ve got enough points for 3 free entree rewards, but it will never let me apply one of them to my order so my points are useless

### 1/5 — I hate this. It’s the only way to get food INSIDE??

*2025-09-23, version 3.3*

You have to sign up, provide personal info and a bunch of garbage before you can order food inside of a restaurant with an app. Not acceptable

### 1/5 — No Bueno

*2025-09-06, version 3.3*

Everything about this process is the worst out of any food app I have seen

### 1/5 — Gave my food to another customer

*2025-08-18, version 3.3*

Gave my food to the another customer after they put their hands all over it they handed it to me

### 1/5 — Poor service

*2025-07-10, version 3.3*

I have never been treated so poorly at a fast food restaurant than I was again today in Poulsbo.  The gal gave me misinformation about their app and was snotty about it.  The employees need to be trained on their app if they going to offer one.  I wouldn’t expect a manager to be rude.  They just lost a customer.

### 1/5 — GARBAGE

*2025-06-15, version 3.3*

Won’t let me sign in because i already have an account but can’t back up to a “forgot password/email me” screen because it’s locked on garbage. What a terrible garbage joke of an app. 

Oh close out and try again?! I DID and it opens to the exact same screen. Bull honkey

### 1/5 — No Time Saved

*2025-05-19, version 3.3*

No time saved when ordering through the app.  The estimated times are way off.

### 1/5 — Poor Update - Rewards No Longer Useful

*2025-04-22, version 3.3*

Their recent update no longer applies reward points toward your App order but you have to scan a QR code at the location so you can no longer order in advance and have to order and wait at the location. NOT COOL. This update was clearly created to keep people from using rewards and I will no longer be ordering from Taco Time altogether until I am reached out to that this has been rectified.

### 1/5 — Rewards have drastically changed

*2025-04-04, version 3.1*

The new app is hard to navigate. I don’t feel secure providing payment information and it doesn’t take PayPal. Rewards are not worth the hassle.

### 3/5 — Should be named “Taco Time Washington”

*2025-03-29, version 3.1*

I live in Oregon and love Taco Time. Every time I go in they ask if I have the app, and I figured this time ‘round that I go often enough to justify downloading it. Well, turns out that Taco Time “Northwest” means Taco Time “only Washington”. You can’t select a “favorite location” outside of Washington and you can’t use the app until you’ve selected a favorite location. Total bust

### 3/5 — Open lobby during construction.

*2025-03-26, version 3.1*

Open during construction, open lobby for to-go orders please! 

Long wait to pick up food. Would have been easier to pick up at lobby inside an and not clog up drive thru line.

### 2/5 — Wrong items

*2025-02-26, version 3.1*

I ordered 2 crisp CHICKEN burritos, and they gave me 2 beef. This has happened before as well. It’s such a bummer when I get all the way home and the order is incorrect.

### 2/5 — Love the company

*2025-01-28, version 3.1*

Love the company and the food. App layout ok but too often doesn’t work

### 1/5 — Clunky

*2024-12-27, version 3.1*

The app is a little clunky, you should just be able to select the item and continue, but separate item of a meal opens a pop up you have to select individually before you can add it to your cart. But what is really annoying is that if you need to change the location, it completely empties your cart and you need to start over.

### 1/5 — Can’t login

*2024-11-15, version 3.1*

Love the restaurant, not thrilled with this app. Ever since there was the change in app providers, it has been impossible for me to login. I’ve tried going the route of migrating my account as well as starting over from scratch with a new account. In every instance I receive the message “Oops phone has already been taken. OK”. There is no way I have been able to find to remedy this. It has been very frustrating.

### 1/5 — Bad

*2026-07-18, version 3.3*

Bad rewards, need to go inside with a card on file to even use, no drive thru pick up and just generally a bad set up

### 1/5 — The app sucks

*2026-07-09, version 3.3*

When trying to sign in not sign up it keeps on asking for my phone number and says it’s taken

### 1/5 — Missed items again

*2026-07-07, version 3.3*

Can you please check the order to make sure all is in it?

### 1/5 — who designed this sh

*2026-06-11, version 3.3*

i had this app years ago. it was fine, nothing crazy. now it sucks. it logs me out, fine. i go to sign back in and click sign in. enter my info i know is right because i took a ss 2min before bc the app was bugging and not letting me update my number. i enter the info. it says, sorry there’s an account with that phone number already. yeah no kidding i’m trying to sign into it. okay whatever let me clock out. there’s no back button?? what am i supposed to do the phone number i know is connected to an account doesn’t work and i can’t get out?? i delete the app. i open it again. new options. i can migrate an account. great! i try to migrate my account. there’s an account with the number already. you’ve got to be kidding me. please go back to school whoever designed this.

### 1/5 — Can’t use because I can’t log in

*2026-04-17, version 3.3*

I can no longer use this app at all because it gets stuck on the required phone number field, but when I put in my phone number it says phone number already in use.

### 1/5 — App Needs Work!

*2026-04-12, version 3.3*

I love TacoTime, but this app is extremely uncooperative. It'll fail to add items to your cart and throw a connection error, but work on the second try - you have to repeat this for *every item.* Tonight I just couldn't use the app at all because it said every restaurant was closed when they weren't, so I just skipped the app and ordered at the restaurant. It's extremely finicky and needs a lot more QA testing.

### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2026-02-20, version 3.3*

App doesn’t work. Spent an hour trying to get it running. Numerous bugs include it doesn’t think you are signed in when you are, doesn’t think you have a payment method added when you do. Doesn’t think you are near a restaurant when you are at one. Yes I do have internet and locations enabled. Sorry I put my payment info into it. Too bad- I’m a longtime taco time customer and it would have been nice to get rewards. I use a lot of other store and restaurant apps.

### 1/5 — skill issue

*2026-02-09, version 3.3*

genuinely the worst food app i’ve ever used, i got soft locked and had to delete the app cause i got stuck on the phone number screen with no way to go back

### 1/5 — No longer accepts Apple Pay

*2026-01-28, version 3.3*

Very frustrating that it no longer works with Apple Pay.

### 1/5 — Defective

*2025-10-31, version 3.3*

I’ve used this app before about a year ago but now, even after adding a new payment method, I can’t check out. Just keeps asking me to add a payment method. Tried uninstalling. Doesn’t work anymore.
