I am extremely disappointed! What I really want to say is that I am pissed. I ordered through uber Eats and the food came much earlier than estimated. However, most of the food was cold. The quesadilla was soggy from being wrapped up in a load of grease. There was also a thick layer of grease on the queso con carne. My tacos were cold and bland. Then the bean dip is liquid - runny and bland; it looks like muddy water!

This used to be one of our favorite restaurants, we have been here many times and actually drove from Mid City just to eat here. Unfortunately it has taken a turn for the worse since moving locations. They act like they do not know what you are saying and do not even know what comes on their own dishes. I got a taco bowl and when I took a bite I realized the meat was extremely cold. When I looked into the bottom of the bowl I realized my shell, meat, and all ingredients were sitting in cold water. I never go back to the counter to complain or ask for a new meal but when I did the old man that works there or owns the place was unbelievably rude. I explained that I could not eat it because the everything, including the meat, was probably about 45 degrees. He said "You ask for lettuce", I assured him I did, He said "we keep lettuce in ice water to keep it fresh". I understand that the lettuce needs to remain chilled, but i do not want the handful of iced water that came with it. They literally just grabbed the lettuce out of iced water and put it over my meat. It was disgusting!! The old man then said he'd make it again. But this time he only put half a spoon full of meat rather than the 2 scoops they put the first time. They also will try to overcharge you for things that supposedly come with your meal so be very careful. They will act like they cannot understand you be take my word, they can. Very disappointed

Reasonably well priced Mexican food that is prepared quickly and tastes pretty good for what you pay.

El Taco Loco totally blew my expectations out of the water! The tacos were ridiculously flavorful, and the cozy vibe made the whole experience feel like I was eating at a friend's kitchen.

Food was very dry and had no flavor! The tacos were $6 a piece and it def was not worth it. Meat taste as if it was prepared in the morning and dried out through the day. Will not recommend.

Wow, now this is some delicious Mexican food. Fresh herbs and vegtables along with delicious chicken and pork. Just Fantastic. This is the real deal.Parking: Park in the Walgreens Parking lot. Piece of cake.
I love love love this place. Last year I made an effort to try a new taco place every Tuesday and out of 15 places I tried this place remains my favorite. I've spent so much time in Mexico and these ring as the most authentic, and the margs! Boy those margs will have you calling your ex at 6pm on a Tuesday. You have to come here. El mejor lugar de tacos de todos los tiempos !!!!! XoXoXo

The most helpful staff I've encountered in a very long time. Our Waiter, Terrence, was downright awesome. In a world of indifference, his light really shined. Geaux Saints, eh Terrence? This restaurant could easily score a solid five stars except for the boombox sound system's exceedingly loud music at a headache level. Turn the Boombox sound system down to a pleasant background level so your customers don't have to shout family secrets across the restaurant and you've got five stars all-day.

Finally a great restaurant at this location! All the food I’ve tried here over the last few months has been delicious. The carnitas tacos are a must try! The queso is so well spiced. Pairs perfectly with their margaritas. One of my favorite spots UptownPictured: chimichanga with 2 carnitas tacos
I go a lot of places to try different food but this one is not it. The seating is the only thing that would make a person want to come. The food is not great at all. The tacos were dry and flavorless, but like I say. I always try things at least one time. So I guess that was my one with that one# buttoeachitsown.

Inflation got to these guys too! They are still reasonably priced and have really good tacos!
