The employees are very nice and friendly and if you like Tex Mex, the food is pretty good. It's not gourmet, but it's a taste of home. Yes, nostalgia plays a major part in the appeal of Great Bend Taco to the local population.
Don't expect authentic Mexican food, because this is far from it. The closest comparisons I can come up with would be Taco John's or Taco Via. Still, I much prefer GB Taco.
This is one of those places that only the locals understand. It's been around longer than I've been alive. I moved away from GB several years ago, but when I'm back in town I always stop here. This used to be part of the Taco Hut chain, but left that franchise several years ago. The food hasn't changed, though.
For visitors to Great Bend, I would recommend giving GB Taco a try and see if you like it. It's not spicy and it's not authentic Mexican food, but it is fairly unique. My recommendation: 2 taco burgers with a side of chips and cheese.
Great food but its pricey
Not very friendly when I walked in, but they did greet white customers.
I ordered enchiladas and crunchy tacos. The enchilada plate was very bland and appeared to be made by someone who'd never made enchiladas before. I did notice the "cook" was a young teenager. The beans were canned refried store bought. The plate was topped with Tostitos chips which made no sense. The crunchy tacos on the other hand were ok, very similar to Taco Bell.
Order the Cheese covered Sancho. Its delicious! A large tortilla filled with seasoned crumbled beef, lettuce and tomatoes. It's covered with cheese and has a side of chips. So simple and so good. The tacos are also delicious. Nice simple atmosphere and the staff are always friendly.
Not my kind of "Mexican food" when I'm craving. I definitely won't return.
Anyway, locals who grew up eating at this place don't need my review to sway you.
Despite my rose colored nostalgia glasses, I'm docking a star because GB Taco has really jacked up the prices on its menu. I don't think the portion/quality ratios justify the prices. A meal at GB Taco should not cost the same or more than an equivalent meal at a full service sit down restaurant like Playa Azul.
Great food. Good people.
