This place is jam packed and it's easy to see why, I love the decor, service was friendly and quick and the food was pretty good.

Top tier Mexican food and is definitely well worth going! Do try out their chicken quesadillas, beef nachos and jalapeño poppers, they’re my personal favourite!

Putting the prawn tacos here in the top ten meals I’ve ever had in my life. And I’ve probably had them close to 20 times.

Delicious food, but small portions for the price. $14 was a little steep for the size of chips and guac, and there were only a few tiny prawns on each taco.
Aside from the food, the service was fabulous- very attentive. Atmosphere was definitely like a cantina, too!

I got ‘the runs’. Absolutely disgusting food, not to mention a very slow and poor service and sweltering heat. My cousin nearly choked on a jalapeño. Don’t recommend for a family outing!

Amazing food! I try chimichanga beef.
It took a while to arrive to the table but worth it
Staff really friendly

Great find. Only criticism - the chairs, very uncomfortable and low compared to tables but very minor criticism. Food and service totally made up for it

I had truly delicious tacos and washed them down with a horchata. The staff were friendly and attentive.

We had nopales (cactus) tacos and beef burrito.the green sauce in the tacos was good.the beef in my burrito was cold and the sauce was very plain ground up canned tomatoes with no spices.

Better than Mexicali or Taco Bell for sure.

Food tasted very good, but i actually fell ill with food poisoning the next morning which was rather disappointing and has kind of put me off coming back to this place again.

I had such a great experience here!
The service was lovely, we had a female server and she made us feel at home! The food was also delicious, I'd recommend trying their soft shell tacos, they're small, but pretty filling for me. I'd definitely come back.

Food here is just SUPERB! Love this place. The Jalapeno Poppers are an absolute hit, must try. Every item we ordered was well presented and packed even though it was a takeaway, food was still hot, crisp and crunchy by the time we got home. Taco Loco soo glad you're here!

Until I had dinner at Taco Loco I was surprised when the vegetarian Tacos Dorados is ordered each taco is filled with mashed potatoes. Never before have I eaten taco and mashed potatoes together not the best meal.
I won't be back

Was quite interested to try after reading the previous reviews. Ordered the Cochinita Pibil. The portion was just right for a small eater like me, not a large portion as someone mentioned. The tortillas are just about 3 inches in diameter, not the normal sized ones. The pulled pork is supposed to be juicy and succulent as it's pit roasted for hours, but what they served was dry and chewy. So definitely not as expected of the dish. The decor is nice and the staff are friendly.

It's a great family friendly restaurant with generous portion size. The deco is full of character and it is very clean. The outdoor playground facility is great for the kids, especially on a sunny day. I recommend the stuffed chile. The food is not spicy, but they have many different hot sauces, so you can make it as hot as you want.

I used to love this place when it was at the gas station, why did you move to such a small location?
Hopefully, some day you'll be able to open a bigger restaurant and make it the way it was before, it was really awesome and I'm sure many people would go for the food AND the ambience
The mushroom quesadillas and tacos nopales are INCREDIBLE!
Cheers to the staff!
