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!!!!Vegetarian options: Has a decent vegetarian section. Tbh got a bit more menu items in their vegetarian section compared to other places. ?

El Taco ? Loco is my favorite place to enjoy authentic food. I ordered three soft cornshell tacos, beef, chorizo, and beef tongue. As usual, it was cooked to perfection. Top with fresh white onions, cilantro with red and green sauce. Let me tell you something: the margaritas ? are a great device to counter the spicy sauce. Perfection. The service was great and attentive.
I love to eat at this restaurant when I’m going to

Outstanding Street tacos.The chips were nice and warm, the salsa was average but the tacos were outstanding!The menu did look a little pricey for everything else, though.

LOVE these tacos! These are the best tacos I've had in Birmingham! The service is always amazing and fast, and I love the ambiance of the restaurant!

Certainly a different approach to Mexican food. Coming from South Texas, there are subtle differences. I had the warache, which was fine. We ordered choriqueso, which was so different from how it is prepared in Texas. This one was more of a cheese sauce versus actual melted cheese with chorizo. Still a decent place to eat.
Tacos were consumed, and they were excellent. I'm aware that the cuisine was quite delicious. The service was pleasant, and I will definitely return.

This is one of my favorite joints. It's a hole-in-the-wall, but serves up some of the most authentic Mexican cuisine in town.

Best shrimp taco I've ever had (and I've had plenty). Mama Coco is my new go-to place for shrimp tacos and other Mexican delights. The décor features huge displays of characters from the Disney/Pixar movie Coco (loved it), and the restaurant is well maintained and welcoming. The only problem with the menu involves decision-making...yours! Efficient servers deliver generous entrées on warm plates, and the colorful arrays of spiced and sauced foods will satisfy even the hungriest of diners. Exceptional!

Well, it was really good food. I will say they barely speak any English, which is completely understandable. That being said there was a few parts of our order incorrect. Regardless the food was good and fairly authentic. I would recommend trying it!

Had the tacos and they were very good. They came with a side of two house salsas. Both were fresh and delicious. House margarita was better than most as well. Good place for a fast taco. Very solid.
