I love Bueno for some good, cheap, fast Mexican food. Party burritos are my favorite, but Mexi dips and chips is great too! I used to go to Hardin-Simmons back in the late 1990’s and used to eat at this same Bueno. I was glad to see they had updated it since then! Yummy and it was a great place to meet up with friends as we passed through Abilene.
What happened to this place. Used to get friendly service and decent food. Now, woman taking order couldn't hear, had to get someone else that could hear to take order and was rude about it. Never asked us if we wanted hot sauce, napkins, etc. Asked for sweet and low, she couldn't hear that either. It wasn't busy,so no excuse. That was just customer service. Food tasted like it was stored to close to chemicals and cinnamon chips were minus the cinnamon and sugar. Sorry to see this one go downhill.
It's good food sometimes. Sometimes not. I don't understand why it takes so long to get an order. I have waited over 30 minutes. I like taco Bueno but they need to step it up

This is a great chain restraunt. Better prices and overall atmosphere than Taco Bell. Never very crowded. It would be a five-star except the restrooms. They are unreasonably small with the biggest trash can they could find. When you open the door, that's the entire space you get. Great staff and everything, though. Good for a road trip.
Waited 20 minutes for food just for it all to be disgusting.. no even Luke warm, beans taste old.. only thing decent is the chips and hot sauce..which I might add was not in our box and I had to go ask for the sauce, when I did I was rudely told to get it myself from the salsa bar.. sad bueno has come to this. Here's a cute picture of our rice.... Lol foul
