Taco John's Devils Lake

If you’re exploring Devils Lake and you’re on the hunt for a quick, satisfying bite, Taco John’s Devils Lake is one of those spots worth noting. Nestled at 354 2nd Ave W (also sometimes listed as 354 Hwy 2 W), Devils Lake, ND 58301, United States, this outlet of the well-known chain brings the signature “West-Mex” flavour to the local scene.

Walking in (or driving through) you’ll immediately sense that it’s built for convenience and variety. Whether you’re dropping by for breakfast, grabbing lunch solo, sitting down for dinner or ordering delivery to your door, the options cover a wide spectrum. The vibe is informal, friendly and flexible.

The menu is a strong point. Some of the stand‐outs: the beloved crispy potato bites known as “Potato Olés®”, hearty burritos such as the Meat & Potato burrito, a well-portioned value menu and plenty of choices if you’re vegetarian or want a lighter snack. For example, you’ll see combinations like soft-shell tacos, crunchy corn‐shell tacos, grilled burritos, four-cheese quesadillas-all served in the kind of quick-service environment where speed matters, but flavour doesn’t take a back seat.

Service‐wise, Taco John’s Devils Lake has you covered across multiple “service modes”: dine-in, counter service, takeaway, drive-through and delivery all feature. Particularly appealing for solo diners or for anyone looking for a quick stop before or after a local outing. The accessibility factor is also taken into account: there is wheelchair‐accessible parking, entrance and seating, making it more user-friendly than many fast-food spots out there.

One thing to highlight: if you’re arriving early, the breakfast options make it a solid choice for a morning meal. Think loaded breakfast burritos, hot coffee, fresh sides. And later in the day, the menu shifts easily into lunch or dinner territory-so the same spot handles a wide day‐part spectrum.

Comparing Taco John’s Devils Lake to the other fast-food-Mexican players in the area, what sets it apart is the consistency of the “West-Mex” branding: bold flavours, a bit of spice, a bit of crunch, and a menu that mixes in familiar items (tacos, burritos) with the signature twists (Potato Olés®). It’s an advantage if you want something more interesting than standard fast-food fare but still quick.

Of course, no place is flawless. Customer reviews highlight some inconsistencies with order accuracy or wait times during busy periods. If you’re in a rush, the drive-through or delivery might be your best bet. Also, because it’s a franchise location of a larger chain, the local ambience and seating comfort may not match a high-end sit-down restaurant-but that’s expected given the concept.

From a real-world user perspective: if I were picking where to stop for lunch in Devils Lake, Taco John’s Devils Lake would be on the list because of its flexible service (drive-through or dine-in), its decent menu breadth and the location’s convenience. If you have dietary considerations (vegetarian options or late-night cravings), this outlet hits more of the boxes than many typical burger spots.
