Terrible karaoke disturbing the neighborhood. I called and asked them to turn it down and they were rude and may have even turned it up. The guy wouldn't give his name and hung up on me. Can't imagine supporting this business.

Horrible experience at this trash place. Charged $16 for a taco bowl and crappy service. Didn’t even get a tortilla to go with the taco bowl. Food tasted spoiled and they give small portions. Guacamole tasted disgusting. Don’t go here.

I don’t say this lightly, but this was hands down the worst Mexican food I’ve ever had. I walked in hungry and optimistic — I left nauseous and deeply confused about how a place like this stays open. I rarely leave reviews, but this was offensively bad. Save your stomach, your time, and your sanity — eat literally anywhere else. El Taco Loco? More like El Taco Local Health Hazard.

i really, really wanted to support this local restaurant. the reviews are generally great but our experience was awful. there were no other customers, which is not Always a bad sign; but now i wonder…
restaurant smelled dirty, like very old cooking oil. there was a very dried out plate of food on top of one of the garbage cans. the food on the prep counter looked old, like it had been sitting out for quite a while and/or reheated more than once.
tacos tasted ok - not great, but edible. chips were fresh. salsa and queso tasted old. rice and beans were ok. tamale was very dry, and was reheated in the microwave.
this place has potential - there’s a great upstairs area that gets a great breeze from the fans.
a deep clean is needed and the food needs to be fresh, period.
i won’t return but i certainly hope the restaurant and food will improve to what the older reviewers posted.

I’ve said it once, and I’ll say it again, el taco loco is the best mexican restaurant uptown. the past 4 years of living in Nola, if I want mexican I am coming here. Get ONE margarita and u will not need more drinks for a WHILE. Incredible (and free!!) options of hot sauce & lime wedges. You could stay for an hour (chill/fun ambiance), or be in/out for 15 minutes. Their balcony upstairs + margarita + friends + carnitas tacos = my heaven

Without a doubt the best Hispanic food of any variety I have had in the continental US.

An astonishing experience every time I go to El Taco Loco. They have fast and hospitable service that makes a hundred Tulane students clamoring for a margarita go by like nothing. Their $4.5 small marg deal on Tuesdays is unbeatable and even better are their nachos. A huge portion of earth shattering food. There are a variety of seating options all comfortable and convenient!
