I tried ordering with them an hour before close and they cancelled the order because they didnt want to deal with it that close to close. Bad move for a family run restaurant. When I tried to call about it they didnt answer, left a voicemail expressing my disappointment. No call back. I heard that this was a nice place to try. But clearly they're too good for my money especially with an hour which is plenty of time to make a couple tacos. So here we are.

We’ve been here a number of times and have definitely gone back due to the flavors and variety of salsas. We’ve been meaning to write a favorable review for awhile now, and when served by the friendly owner or his wife, would’ve continued our patronage, but due to our last visit, that review has now changed. Had we had more time, we probably would’ve asked to speak to the owner had he not been in the back cooking.
Unfortunately, to start, it seems we’ve had to forgive lukewarm food each time. Doesn’t mean the food doesn’t taste good, but we’ve always been confused why it’s never hot, and sometimes, it’s even been on the cooler side.
They offer 4 salsas: red (mild), green (medium), a smooth orange colored one ? (hot), and a chili oil (extremely hot) that are very tasty but may mess with your guts later, so user beware. (The levels of spice are not explained by wait staff or labeled at all). The salsas are now presented in refillable bottles, and you receive a very small “fry basket” of non-refillable corn chips.
The beans and rice are delicious, fish tacos are crispy but unfortunately lacking in sauce, so they lean on the dry side, (hence the use of the salsas to amp up the experience). We’ve also noticed a number of favorite items, like the empanadas, are no longer offered on the menu. Sadly, the molé sauce we had this most recent visit was too salty for our liking.
Now for our last experience:
Since the first time we visited a year or two ago, the food had always taken awhile to come out, and we’d always had to ask for chips and salsa to start. This time was no different, but our waitress did take extra long to even take our drink/food order. Disappointingly, we received the salsa bottles 1/8th full from the start, so, of course, we used the bottles up quite fast. When we asked for more, our waitress literally forgot to oblige, which was quite puzzling, as she was one of two waitresses barely working, but doing a great job at acting aloof. We had to ask for the salsa twice, and when she took our empty bottles, she returned to say they didn’t have anymore, despite there being fuller bottles on other empty tables. As we looked around befuddled, and ready to snatch bottles off other tables, she eventually offered. Bear in mind, this was early on a Saturday night.
The worst part of this experience was 100% the service. Throughout the meal, our curly-haired waitress seemed, frankly, annoyed to be serving us. She sauntered around the room with a frown on her face, until back behind the counter, where she and the other long haired waitress mainly loitered, sipped on drinks and joked around with the bartender, who looked barely old enough to be drinking herself. We frustratingly observed that we, and other customers, were hardly noticed or checked on.
I don’t like posting poor reviews, and I know good help is hard to find. But besides the food and atmosphere, service is a win or lose for a business. And this time, because of bad attitudes, we won’t be going back.

We had such a great experience here! Our waitress (we didn’t catch her name) was absolutely wonderful. I can only tell you that had very pretty eyes and long red hair, She was funny, knowledgeable about the menu, and incredibly sweet. The food was good, but what really stood out was the service—she made the whole meal so enjoyable. Truly one of the best servers we’ve ever had!

Food was ok, they provide homemade salsa but it’s a bit hard to use as it’s in a bottle opposed to a dish. Decent portions for the price

Food was good. Authentic Mexican. One waitstaff in the front doing everything, taking orders and serving, mixing drinks and bussing tables. When we left several tables were uncleared. It was a challenge for single person to keep up. Puzzling that there were two people in the kitchen and only one out front with not that many customers. Quality of food is worth giving El Taco Loco a try, but service could be improved with more help.
