EL Taco Loco is a family-owned restaurant located off the 99 freeway between Fresno and Bakersfield, offering a 24/7 drive-thru option. The menu features a variety of Mexican dishes, including an egg bacon breakfast burrito with hash browns and whole beans. Customers have praised the freshness of the ingredients and the friendliness of the staff, especially noting the excellent service provided.
The restaurant is a great alternative to regular fast food, with various meat options such as asada, pastor, cabeza, lengua, chorizo, and pollo available in combos. Prices are reasonable considering the location, with standout dishes including the asada and al pastor tacos, cabeza taco, and chicharron quesadilla.
Some customers have noted that the salsa can be quite spicy, so it is recommended to request it on the side if milder flavors are preferred. White corn tacos are used, which may surprise those who usually prefer yellow corn tortillas. While some recent reviews have mentioned a decline in quality and service, many still recommend EL Taco Loco for its fresh and tasty Mexican food, especially for travelers or truck drivers looking for a satisfying meal.
