THE MIRROR
Taco John’s opened up on Tuesday, March 3 and the students at Stevens Point Area Senior High (SPASH) were very excited. SPASH students flooded Taco John’s during their lunches and stuffed their stomachs with tacos and other food.
Many SPASH students waited in the long opening day line to get a taste of Taco John’s food especially because they offered free Potato Oles for a year to the first 100 customers.
Student Lionel Perkins was at Taco John’s when they opened and won free Potato Oles for a year. Perkins said that it was worth the wait because he was given “The Golden Ticket which gives you a year’s worth of Potato Oles.”
Perkins said he had only been to Taco John’s once before opening day. “I enjoy the higher quality than Taco Bell,” Perkins said.
The wait in line was over an hour at its longest. “On this particular day I didn’t get anything but with the Golden Ticket I plan to get Taco John’s every week,” Perkins said.

I liked how you said all the students went on their lunch which a lot did. It was a good and short article and I liked how you interviewed someone who got the ticket.

I like how you talked about the students being excited for it to open. Taco Johns is close to school and students will find it very convenient to have another place to go to during lunch.

I personally think that Taco Johns is amazing and I’m so glad there is one in town now. I enjoyed reading this. Good job Noah.

I liked when you described things how you could picture it in your head. I do agree with Mazie, the lengths people will go to get food.. I was at Perkins with Julia eating breakfast before school and her and I were watching everyone camp out in the parking lot waiting for it to open and we got there at like 6:50 AM.

I would have liked to know if you get the free potato ole’s with a purchase or can you just walk in flash the ticket and say hey I’m here for my free potato ole? Great picture the building seems large on the outside but it looks like it would be real cramped when it gets busy.

The length people will go to just to get a great taco is amazing. I love the descriptive words used throughout the piece it really made me want a taco.
