Not a bad place for lunch. Wish I had known about the bell peppers on their quesadilla. Not my favorite flavor. The beans and rice were cold. But waitress was nice and restaurant was clean. Ill try again and ask more questions

I love everything about this restaurant. It is soooo very quaint, intimate and just unique. It is so very clean and the food and drinks are amazing! I live across from this place but never thought about going there until recently. I was very pleasantly surprised at the atmosphere, the friendly and efficient staff and most of all, how delicious the food is. I highly recommend this place It's a hidden gem. You won't regret it.

So welcoming and cozy! Food is also fantastic. I was feeling so down today and their Quesadilla Texana helped me cheer up. Thank you so much El Taco Loco💖 I thoroughly enjoyed dining in here today, would recommend 10/10!!!!

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 britany bell · Dec 2025

We ate here and there were quite a few things wrong but honestly the thing that bothered me the most is they brought us some watered down nonsense with spinach in it and called it spinach dip even though it had the consistency of warmed chicken broth. I have seen better queso in a jar at a gas station but that wasnt the worst part. 30 seconds after they set this cheese soup nonsense on our table we waived the waitress back over and said we dont want it as it wasnt good quality. We didnt eat it or anything we immediately knew we didnt want it she called to who I am assuming is the owner and he comes to the table to then argue with us about how we cant just send it back if we ordered it. If you dont want people to send it back then perhaps do better and next time dont serve something that lo
