Taco Bill Mexican Restaurant

Just went out for a casual mid week dinner and it was great. The girls that served us were great and the food was awesome. If you are looking for a cheap meal Mon, Tue, Wed are half price and good quality.

Went Friday evening to Taco Bill on Blackshaws Road, Altona with a group of friends.The restaurant was not that busy - a few tables of families. Cheery Mexican food and waiting staff were helpful. Beef burrito was tasty and filling. Jug of Mexican mocktail too...More

Deserves 3.5 out of 5 due to the quality of their Margaritas..Last night we drove to Altona North to eat "franchise" Mexican and drink "beautiful" Margaritas [both alcoholic and non-alcoholic] at TACO BILL, Blackshaws Road.1. ENVIRONMENT: A bit rough, but not a prob; Set in off the road on a no longer operating Ten Pin Bowling site; Lots of spaces in the onsite car park: No trees 2. AMBIENCE: Modern building; Clean; Air-conditioned; All the recognizable Taco Bill paraphernalia; 2 big TV's; Quasi open kitchen; Big long bar; Not the busiest.. again a good thing, for us..3. DRINKS: They've got the lot - inc those giant Pancho Villa 'Fish Bowls' [they come with a complimentary free full size Sombrero]; We had a Tropical Margarita, a Lemon Margarita, a Strawberry Margarita, Strawberry Slushies, Pineapple Mexican Sodas, and MY ALL TIME FAVE - Tropical Mexican Slushies... Wow..!! The flavours packed into these are truly amazin'..!!4. FOOD:- NACHOS SUPREMOS - a big 'large' serve - lots of Melted Cheese; good Guacamole [looked fresh..? still not sure though..? is it the real thing or a long-life paste..? still, it does taste pretty okay..], generous with the 'spicy' Tomato Salsa and 'fresh' Sour Cream - yum..!!- QUESADILLA DELGADA - a Beef one and a Chicken one - not my favourite dish - kinda feel like it lacks flavour somehow..- TAQUITOS - again, a Beef and a Chicken - again, not my favourite - crunchy, but so dry, on the inside..- FAJITAS - 3 serves - a Beef, a Chicken, and a Mixed - love this dish..!! - they arrived SERIOUSLY SIZZLING and very generously sized - soft flour Tortillas were fresh, and nice and warm - Shredded Lettuce was fresh - Guacamole was tasty - SORRY TACO BILL.. just can't eat that Mexican Rice.. absolutely without any tiny twincy flavour whatsoever.. still can't work out why..? I mean it's got colour, onion, green and red capsicum, but no flavour, and I mean 'NO FLAVOUR'.. a real quandary, this one..?- MEXICAN CHOCOLATE MOUSSE - 2 serves - loved the Mousse, but only after scooping off '6 OR 7 CMS' of that White Cream - please, please, please just twink this dessert a little..!! serve it with ONE tablespoon of cream on top and if you want to give it height, just poke a Chocolate Striped Poco Stick into it, or a Cocktail Paper Umbrella..- FLAN DE QUESO - 1 serve - this dessert looked fab.. they'd even written 'taco b' with chocolate sauce around the rim of the big white plate.. BUT, I found it INEDIBLE..!! - it looked like a large Creme Caramel, but it's texture was hard and stodgy.. not at all nice on the palate.. and the flavour..? all I can say is it was 'very, very strange'..!!5. SERVICE: Couldn't fault them, really; Crew were helpful, friendly and attentive; Meals were pretty quick to table.. you wouldn't want them any faster.. you wouldn'a been able to get through them, otherwise..; All good6. COST: We took a deal [they've got lots a different deals going.. you shouldn't have to pay menu price for anything.. at the moment..] - Set Menu for 3 persons: $76 - Drinks extra: 9 drinks, 3 alcoholic and 6 non-alcoholic cost $54 We were pretty well fed, and amazingly well watered for just under $44 each... Yes.. we'll be back.. I really can't stay away from those MEXICAN SLUSHIES for too long.. especially not this time of year...!!!Visited on Friday 8 January 2016 for Dinner for three.

The salad I ordered had bugs in it, noticed only after several mouthfuls. I promptly returned this dish to the front counter. I was offered a meal on the house, but I refuse. I was advised that "the box" the salad mix arrives is is labeled washed. Not acceptable- basic food hygiene is not difficult. I will never trust this place again. I will credit the wait staff as they were understanding and pleasant, an asset to the restaurant. Pity about the food

Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday are the nights to go. They have half price main meals. Good food and service is quite good. Never too busy either so pretty quiet usually. Been many times, will go again.
