Finally found a taco spot that reminds me of LA. Their carnitas tacos were so flavorful and juicy. Chicken and steak were good too but will definetly be back for more carnitas. They also had good tamales will for sure be back!
It’s funny that it’s inside the liquor store, but once you get past that you get a clean space, great food, quick and friendly service, and a multi-use store with a lovely taqueria! I love introducing people to this hidden gem.
Excellent tacos. I work in Ballard and these are hands down my favorite quick tacos to get after work or on a lunch break. I just sucked down 3 and felt compelled to write a review from my desk. Great mom and pop liquor store too so you can grab a six pack and a few tacos. You will not be disappointed. Carnitas and Al Pastor are my fav. We have done the big taco catering plate for work events. Salsa Verde is delicious. Go support them!

El Taco Loco is a popular Mexican restaurant in Ballard, known for its flavorful carnitas and al pastor tacos. The restaurant is located inside a liquor store, which makes it slightly hidden, but the welcoming staff and friendly atmosphere quickly make visitors feel at home. The food is really tasty and the workers are so sweet and hard working. It is very clean inside and offers pretty big portions. Many customers consider it to have the best tacos in Seattle, and the newly decorated space with expanded seating makes it a great spot to enjoy a meal. The staff is super friendly and inviting, providing good, quick service.
