For taco enthusiasts, Lord John Tacos remains a beloved stop in Kokomo, showcasing distinctive handmade deep-fried shells that promise a satisfying meal. While some patrons sing praises of their perfectly crispy tacos and generous portions, others express disappointment over the lack of flavor in the meat, suggesting it needs seasoning. The ambiance may lack warmth, but the friendly staff and extensive appetizer menu provide a welcoming atmosphere. Nostalgic long-time customers yearn for the robust, hearty tacos of the past. Despite mixed reviews, the reputation of these iconic tacos continues to attract devoted fans year after year.

You can have all the tacos in town but nothing hold a candle to these. The shells are cooked perfect and the seasoned meat is on point with the original. Don’t make the mistake and get taco’s elsewhere. They are the BEST! View all feedback.
What Anonym dislikes about The Handle:
Tacos are worth a try. Handmade deep fried shells will fill you up quick. Needed more meat per taco though. The taco filling was quite tasteless and required salt and hot sauce. Hot sauce on the table tasted like Frank's buffalo. Appetizer menu is great and they fried them perfectly. View all feedback.

People are VERY friendly and make you feel at home! Service is great and THE TACOS...... MMMMMM Will always visit when out n about
I have been enjoying Lord Jon Tacos for 50 years! They used to be filled with meat, cheese, salad, and tomatoes, requiring a fork to eat all the delicious toppings that spilled out of the bowl. However, in recent years, the tacos have changed. The bowls are now only half full and the taste seems a bit different. I would prefer to pay more for the larger, tastier tacos I remember from the past. I would rate them a “5” and hope they return to their original deliciousness.
