What a gem- best Taco Tuesday deals in town! Right now, they offer tacos for under $2! They also have a salsa bar for you add all the fixins: onions, cilantro, radish, lemon, pickled carrots and jalapeños, chunky mild salsa, salsa verde and roja. They keep the salsa bar station so clean- literally wipes down the station every time someone uses it. I've only been here once but I feel like it's a family-run shop with abuela taking the order at times, bussing the tables, and sobrino and tío making the food. I placed a takeout order: 3 asada tacos, 3 al pastor, asada burrito, pollo nachos grande. I'm an asada gal but here, I really enjoyed their chicken. This place is surprisingly very spacious with a screen TV, booths and table seating. I'll definitely be back for their Taco Tuesday special, and I appreciate that they open early! read more

Tried the chicken tostada it was ok chicken taste very low quality and no flavor. Their sauces aren't flavorful. Next I tried the albondigas it was horrible, the meatballs were hard and dark low quality meat. Their salsa aren't good, broth was terrible and so was the rice I ate the zucchini and most of the broth my flour tortillas was probably the best. Service is amazing though. read more

FOOD: If you like authentic Mexican food, this small restaurant is worth a try. I frequently order their carne asada burrito without rice, and the taste is consistently great. The meat stands out compared to other places I've tried. Additionally, their New York steak is quite impressive, offering the same quality and taste you'd expect from a high-end steakhouse--tender and full of flavor. They also provide free chips and salsa. Plus, there are ongoing daily specials posted near the counter. SERVICE: You can tell it's a family-owned establishment; the two ladies behind the counter are always friendly, helpful, and attentive. I would assume that those were their son and daughter at the counter at times, and they were equally nice and friendly. Either to go or dine in order - the service is always great. AMBIANCE: Small and clean - nothing extraordinary for a typical Mexican restaurant, but what matters is the cleanliness, the quality of food, and the service. They do a great job in all these areas. read more

I've had 100000000 breakfast burritos from a bunch of fancy trendy spots in LA and yet nothing compares to a good old reliable, perfectly-made burrito from El Taco Locco. It just tastes like something my mom would make at home. I order the ham and egg burrito. The star of the show is the potatoes. Beautifully seasoned, thank goodness!! (PS, Why do so many other restaurants refuse to season their potatoes? Ew) The beans are also perfectly savory, soft texture. Next, the ham is thick sliced with great flavor. And the cheese is perfectly melted. All scrambled with egg wrapped in a tortilla. Yeah just simple and exactly what I want in a burrito. The green salsa was spicy, it packs a punch! That is my favorite one. Every time we crave a great burrito for an amazing price we come here! read more

Don't know who gave this place anything under five stars. Two visits now. Each time it was frickin amazing. The other day I had a chile verde burrito. Amazing flavor, killer size, killer price. Can't wait to go back. read more

Not sure how they got 4 stars, I bought 5 carne asada tacos and they were the worst I ever had, 16 dollars and it felt like I got robbed I'm just glad I didn't get sick.... But then again I just ate, we'll see later ......Small tacos at 3.00 dollars a taco and funny taste to the carne..... NEVER AGAIN!!!! read more

Breakfast Machaca Burritos are always on Point Roughly $12 bucks they come through Salsas are also legit

Great customer service and Authentic Mexican food. It's like a home away from home. Yes the place is not trendy, and the decor might seem just ok, but don't let that fool you. The food is amazing. It's tasty and delicious. Every time I come to visit my friend, I always end up stopping by here. I truly love ordering their Chicken Taquitos with refried beans only (my preference). The taquitos are moist, and completely full. read more

I heard the tacos were good here so I decided to give it a try since I work a few minutes away and it was National Tacos Day. I get to the counter and some big dude with a giant San Judas chain looking like he was the sh** is the first thing I see. Whatever,,, he takes my order and is very short, but I'm in a hurry so idc. Now for the food, Wuacala! These tacos were pure fat. I ordered 2 carnitas and 1 Al Pastor because I'm very picky with it. I should have just driven to North Gate. This did not taste authentic! read more

The correct spelling: EL TACO LOCCO Very good, very authentic. Excellent service. Very attentive. Short wait. I will be back read more

I had high hopes for this place although I didn't do any research prior to my visit, it's close to my job so I thought I'd give it a try! I ordered a bean & cheese burrito for my first visit (it's just what I do, it's a safe thing to order because beans are a staple at a Mexican restaurant) the burrito was awful, the cheese never melted, the beans weren't hot, the tortilla didn't have any warmth to it, it was a very sad lunch. The chips were okay, the salsa verde was tasty, wish I had some hot food to pour it on, I was surprised I ate my lunch without sending it back, it was hard to eat. Maybe I ordered the wrong thing, the service was really nice- you can tell it's family owned and operated, the restaurant itself was pretty tidy, they bring your food to the table. Not sure I would return. read more

El Taco Locco is the storefront signage but on Yelp here it's Loco with one C. The taquitos and flautas are always good. The ensaladas are always fresh. The tacos certainly are crazy good. They may have certain specials for the week or for the day that you should always try to take advantage of. Their MOLCAJETE is The Best. It's a sizzling stone metal bowl with seafood and meats and goodies that you provide enough so that you can probably share between two people or by yourself if you are planning to handle the problem of being happily overstuffed. It's just very very good. Sabroso! Perfectamente. And the ambiance is welcoming. And the service is so kind. read more

The service was really good and friendly. The place is nice and clean. But $13.30 for four tacos??? I don't think so. The meat was not the best quality and they were a bit dry. I got 2 asada, 1 pastor, 1 carnitas. Carnitas was def the best of the three but still mid. read more

The carne asada burrito has been fantastic every single time I get it! And the lady that took my order over the phone was the sweetest abuelita ever. The carne asada had no fat and there was a lot of it. At first I thought I'd get all rice or beans but it's a great balance and a good price so I've been back 3 times this week alone haha read more

El Taco Loco - Bean and cheese burrito. - Mexican Near Me - Norwalk, California

Located in a strip mall, this restaurant doesn't look like much from the outside. I couldn't even tell what it looked like inside until I stepped in. They offer a list of specials and have them posted right next to the register. They have table service and plenty of seating. Booths line both sides, with tables down the center. They have a salsa/condiment booth near the front of the restaurant. Great tasting, spicy salsa. I had the al pastor soft taco special that came with a medium soft drink, and cost less than $7. They also serve tortilla chips. Great tasting food at a great price! I will definitely be back. It's way better than Mexican fast food. Employees are nice, too. Parking: Plenty of free, shared parking. read more

been coming here since the late 90s, a family restaurant that has always been true to their business & to their customers. delicious dishes, plenty of selections on their menu, friendly staff & home-feel restaurant. my parents would come here after Sunday church and now bring my family here after church service also. read more

The food was decent, but the service was great. I got the two taco combination. The beans and rice were fantastic, but the tacos are kind of blah Would definitely come back again. read more

I've been here a few times and I love interacting with the older lady who takes your order. She makes it a point to explain the menu and what you're ordering. I've had the chile verde burrito and it's great. The cheese enchiladas are really good. The fish tacos were ok. The beans are good. The rice was a little bland but still good. I'm used to my mom's I guess. read more

The Huevos Rancheros which were cooked with bell peppers and onions - who does that? Aren't they to be cooked in Chile verde and took over 45 minutes to be cooked and served. It appears they use frozen french fries which were not completely cooked and also served with beans which had a hint of a taste of pine-sol and no rice. The cashier was nice but the other 2 ladies continued to ignore patrons and kept on drying silverware. We will never patronize Taco Loco again as this was our second time of being served unfavorable food especially on Taco Tuesday when they didn't even offer Cilantro and onion. Once I saw my Moms plate I declined to order tasteless food again since I was warned the first time. I can't even give it a -1. Because that may be too good of a rating read more

There are a lot of taco joints in the area, but this one is pretty solid. Come on Tuesdays for their $1 taco specials. I got 4 tacos - 2 carne asada and 2 al pastor - for $4!! Not bad at all. The tacos are a decent size, not tiny little things like some places give you for taco Tuesday. The meat is also well marinated and tender. I like the flavor of their al pastor, and the carne asada had a hint of lime. They have a lot of other items that I'll have to try some other time, but it's hard not to pass up the taco Tuesday specials! The restaurant itself has a decent amount of seating, and the service is great. I'll have to dine in next time, enjoy a basket of chips and salsa, and grab a beer! read more

Always great burritos ! That's why I've been coming here for years. Come during lunch

Food was horrible and expensive for a strip mall restaurant. Go elsewhere in Norwalk. Was not happy with the food. At least the beer was cold, but $7 for a bottle of Modelo is insane. Will not return read more

Food is so delicious. Been coming here for years. The owners run it. Love their lunch specials. Super friendly and fast service.

Hands down some of the best food in the area. With great service to back it up, you can't go wrong. 10/10

Asada wet burrito was disappointing. Literally 3/4 of the meat was hard to chew due to the low quality of the meat. Other than that, the red sauce and beans were flavorful but not worth coming back for. read more

Prior to the pandemic, my girlfriend and I would frequent this restaurant weekly. I would get my usual, daily breakfast with coffee. She would get her taquitos and Michelada. Both of the older ladies would greet us and make us feel welcomed. Now we will try to order take-out every week to help support them. Very attentive! read more

After coming here to get food, I would say that my experience here is pretty chill. The burrito I got was a really good and delicious. They told me they had some type of a five dollar burrito deal but I paid $10 for the bigger burrito. Would I recommend people to come here? Yeah. This place is local and it's a very good business. If I had to read this on yelp with my own terms, I would give it an 8.5 out of 10. read more
