It’s been a while but food was great
I recently came here, I forgot how delicious the food is, it’s been so long since I’ve ate anything from here, I definitely need to come here more often because, it’s still among the best Mexican food in town.
Best tacos in town! Hecho in Bakersfield but I remember when they were in Lamont.

El Taco Loco is a Mexican restaurant in Bakersfield that offers a large variety of menu items, including their popular carne asada tacos and egg burrito. Many customers praise the super fresh ingredients and really good carne asada tacos, with some mentioning their love for asada tacos and amazing salsa. Customers say the food is delicious and still among the best Mexican food in town, and one guest calls it a new favorite local spot. The kids bowl, with a healthy portion of rice, beans and chopped chicken breast, is a popular choice, and the breakfast churrizo burrito also gets good marks. The restaurant used to have a truck, but now mainly operates from its brick store, which features a tidy and welcoming space inside, much better than the older outside building. The parking lot is trailer friendly right off the freeway, making it easy to get in and out.
Some reviews mention that the food is top quality and delicious, with the atmosphere being friendly and service outstanding. The place is seen as a good alternative to fancy restaurants, offering great food without high prices. However, others note that the prices can be high for the portion sizes, such as $35 for two tortas, and the drive-through service can sometimes lack communication and attitude. Some guests suggest being ready to repeat orders, since the cashier writes them down, and bringing extra napkins if the food is greasy. The Tamarindo drink is only available as a powder drink. The salsa is tart and not very tomatoey, and the pastor is considered mediocre. Despite this, many find the quality good overall. The bathrooms are clean, and the food area is kept exceptionally tidy, making El Taco Loco a popular spot for authentic Mexican dishes.
