“I liked this place. For an appetizer, we had the California Fries, which were very good. For a main meal I had the Taco Salad which was also very good. For a drink, I had a sangria. Not the best that I have had. The atmosphere was friendly, relaxing, and fun. The service was great. Our server was friendly and attentive. I definitely recommend Loco Coco's.“

“Food, drinks, & service so consistently amazing, that I'd consider moving out this way just to have this be our "usual" Mexican restaurant, could we afford the move. It's. That. Good. !!!We've been here maybe half a dozen times in as many years. Every time we're just blown away. The margaritas are refreshing & so flavorful (try the habanero margarita with cilantro - you're welcome ?). We tried the salsa flight this last time, no idea why we've never done that before but they were all SO FLAVORFUL, & we love their thick, salty chips. ?This last time I got a tofu taco, a masa fried shrimp taco, & a pescado taco (fried). The flavor combinations were incredible...!!! So unique, perfectly balanced, unlike anything I've ever had before, in the best possible way. [$6 each for such incredible tacos is ? worth it, IMHO. Totally competitive pricing. Regularly pay $5 per taco elsewhere & they're nowhere near as good, so $6 per taco here is perfectly reasonable.]Service has always been super friendly & fast. They're always up to giving recommendations & we're never disappointed!Really my only complaint is how tight the tables are. I know it's an old Friendly's but we really feel quite squished in the booths, even with our small children with us. Would be quite uncomfortable with two adult couples in one booth. This is nit-picky though, obviously it would be a huge undertaking & a massive expense to shut down & renovate, & really, the food is so gosh-darn good that I really don't care, it's not like it's gonna keep us from going back.Their chef was nominated for a James Beard award - I believe it! ?Cannot recommend highly enough! ?“

“Great service and food - we will be returning here whenever we want some good Mexican food in the area. It’s definitely our new go-to place. The staff was so friendly; they went above and beyond in their service. The food tasted fresh and, unlike many other Mexican spots we’ve tried, did not make us feel like we had a rock in our stomach after we ate (if you know what I mean.) I could taste the fresh cilantro in our salsa and the fresh lime used in our dishes. My guess is that they don’t use the heavy oils that some other places use. If we eat something with cheap palm oil in it we immediately get a stomach ache - and we did not experience that here. The food was lighter and fresher than we’ve experienced at other places. They had extensive vegetarian options. Also, the portions are big and an excellent value!Vegetarian options: A full section of the menu dedicated to vegetarian dishes.Kid-friendliness: Kids menu, kids menu activities“

“Actually the best tacos I’ve ever had in my life. I’m a super picky eater and I don’t really like meat and their sweet potato is amazing. they have plenty of inclusive options for lactose/gluten intolerance & lots of vegan/vegetarian options. This is my favorite place to go for food it always tastes perfect and the staff are amazing.Dietary restrictions: Vegan, lactose, gluten. They actually have symbols for vegan and gluten-free options!“

“This spot was much better than expected! Their menu is huge and I love that they offer a la carte if you're not super hungry or wanting to spend a lot. Our server was very friendly and attentive, checking in on us every 10-15 mins. We ordered fajitas well done, but they came out regular. However, the meat was still juicy with plenty of flavor. The margaritas are huge (and strong! When I'm in the area again, I'll be back!“

“I enjoy the ambiance and aesthetic and the waitstaff are always friendly and check in frequently enough that you always have what you need without overly stopping by.The food is good and prices are very reasonable!!There's always parking and we rarely have to wait to be seated!Parking: There's plenty of free, off street parkingKid-friendliness: It's very kid friendly with a kids menu that has a decent selection of choices for kiddos!“

“Everything was awesome. Food was delicious. Went as a group of 5 and the staff handled it no problem. However, one of us ordered a burrito de asada and somehow it had asada y pollo. It had chicken in it. Though my friend didn't complain, his meal, and experience was ruined.“
