Having lived in Houston, TX for a few years, I was convinced I wouldn't find tacos like the ones I had there.
I'm happy to say that I was wrong. I found El Taco Loco and the steak tacos that I had were fantastic, just as good as the ones I left behind in Texas. The prices are fair and the green sauce was delicious! I will definitely be back!

The best tacos I’ve ever had! I’m not sure if the tortillas are homemade, but they definitely taste that way. My new favorite restaurant ❤️

Great beef soup...best I've found from Mobile to Birmingham. Had fresh vegetables and well cooked beef. They definitely didn't leave anything out. Great job ! I will definitely be ordering again on my next visit to Birmingham.

Made a large order for a group of coworkers. Figured maybe because it was a large order and they were busy the orders came out bad. I was wrong. The restaurant was empty except for two tables at most and the rest of the food was fine so i don’t see a excuse. I will won’t be back. Two of the Steak orders were RAW. The chips for the nachos were stale all they did was refried them. Then to top it off they had a attitude when approached about the food. Tried to argue about the situation. Terrible customer service. Refused to refund the money at first until the lady of the card came in and told them to refund it. They still tried to argue. The order total was $84. For that money we could of received better food and customer service else where. We will not be doing buisness with them anymore. Instead of apologizing or even asking to remake the food they decided to fight about it and have a nasty attitude. Is that the type of people you guys are and represent? What a shame. We used to eat there often but there are way better options around Birmingham.

Wonderful little place with a great atmosphere. The staff is wonderful and makes you feel at home. The food is great at an affordable price. The carving on the booth seats are outstanding. They have the thin chips and salsa.

My boyfriend loves this place as he says it is very authentic in terms of Mexican dishes. The decor is beautiful and eye catching. I recommend the horchata as a drink for newbies to authentic Mexican cuisine. Price was medium-low. Around $20 for two meals.

Pollo loco wasn't all that. Basically no cheese even when I asked for extra. Didn't come with onions and green peppers. Was just rice (which was crunchy) and meat. Don't suggest this dish at all!! Very disappointed ☹️

I brought two plates of carne asada to go , on both of the plates, the meat was raw and when I called the restaurant about the issue, they told me to bring them back their food, when I arrived at the restaurant they had a very bad attitude as soon as they saw me walk in. They knew they were wrong but didn't even apologize. They said the steak was not raw because it was cut in pieces. Very unprofessional place and I will not be returning.
