About El Taco Loco

El Taco Loco is a Mexican restaurant in Bakersfield that has garnered mixed reviews. While some customers praise the deliciousness of the breakfast carne asada and egg burrito, others find the prices to be high for the portion sizes. The bean, rice, and cheese burrito is described as a "monster" with great food and reasonable prices, especially at the taco truck location on Panama and Colony. The parking lot is trailer friendly right off the freeway, making it easy to get in and out. Inside, the space is much better than the older, unappealing building outside. The restaurant offers a large variety on its menu, and customers often praise the super fresh ingredients and really good carne asada tacos. Bathrooms are clean, and the food area is kept exceptionally tidy.

Some reviews mention that the tacos are 3.25 each, with two large fountain drinks, totaling about 30 bucks. The drive-through service can be hit or miss; while the food is great, the staff at the window sometimes lack communication and attitude. The salsa is a bit tart and not very tomatoey, and the pastor is considered mediocre. Many find the quality good, but prices high, as seen with the $35 for two tortas, which some think is too much compared to other places. Overall, El Taco Loco offers a varied dining experience, with standout dishes like carne asada tacos and a large menu, though some aspects like pricing and service could improve.
