There's something special about finding a place that feels like more than just a restaurant and for us, that's El Loco Burrito. It's become our regular stop every Monday and Wednesday after my mom's physical therapy sessions, and it's a part of our routine we truly look forward to. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with genuine kindness. The staff is consistently warm, courteous, and attentive, it never feels rushed, just welcoming. The restaurant itself is always spotless, which says a lot about the pride they take in what they do. In a world where service can often feel transactional, El Loco Burrito stands out for its heart. It's not just about great food, it's about the people, the atmosphere, and the comfort of knowing you're always welcome. Highly recommended. read more

These lunch specials are phenomenal! We ordered the shrimp tacos and fish tacos with rice and beans -- and I chose rice and fries. Everything was absolutely delicious. I also had the horchata and my husband had the jamaica. My horchata was a little sweet for my personal taste, so I added a bit of water, but I'm definitely not docking them for that -- the flavor was still amazing. Before we went in, I called ahead to ask about the lunch specials, and the person who answered the phone was fantastic. His service alone convinced me to try the restaurant, and I'm so glad we did. We are definitely going to keep frequenting this spot. Highly recommend! read more

Loco Burrito has really tasty lunch specials and chips. They had a unique weekday special alongside their usual discounted lunch plate. I opted for the taco lunch special, which came with three street tacos, two sides, and a beverage of choice. If you have preferred sides, make sure to ask for them because I have been automatically given beans and rice. Besides soft drinks, agua frescas were available to choose from. I asked for my tacos without cilantro, but I have received it every single time. There was a self serve bar with fresh chips and salsas. Each sauce was vibrant and acidic. The chips were crisp and salty despite being under the heat lamp of death. *Street Tacos: the carne asada and al pastor are very good. The carne asada was more mild so the sauce bar helped spice it up. The al pastor was nicely fatty and sweet. It was good on its own and the superior protein. *Mexican Rice: good spiced tomato flavor. Cooked nicely firm. *Refried Beans: hit or miss. Sometimes it resembles bean soup while other times I can actually taste the seasoning. *Horchata: on the sweeter side but a good amount of cinnamon. Not watered down at all. Considering I am from San Diego, these were pretty darn good tacos. The sides were not special, but I liked the agua frescas. Overall, a really good spot for lunch. read more

They call their carne asada fries loco fries. These were hands down the worst carne asada fries I've ever had. They use low quality string French fries. They also use a low quality nacho cheese on them. I've never even had nacho cheese on carne asada fries and trust me, it just tasted like low quality. The worst part is this cost $17! My friend got tacos and said those were good. Their strawberry lemonade and strawberry milk were also good. It's a small place with a handful of tables inside. The staff were nice. read more

Loco Burrito - Loco Fries Asada - Mexican Near Me - Moreno Valley, California

Every time I visit a new city, I make it a mission to find a great taco spot -- and I feel so lucky to have found this place in Riverside! I usually go for taco trucks, but this restaurant caught my eye and did not disappoint. They had so many combo options, but I went with the taco combo, which let me try their birria, asada, and pastor tacos. For my sides, I chose elote and fries -- both were fantastic! The fries were perfectly hot and crispy, and the elote was super flavorful and saucy, just how I like it. They also have a self-serve salsa bar, which I loved! The workers were so nice to give me small togo containers for the sauces. The green sauce, radishes, and lemon slices were all fresh and delicious. Out of all the tacos, the birria was my absolute favorite -- tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. The pastor came in a close second! There was plenty of parking and lots of tables for dining in. I got my food to-go, and even after the drive back, everything was still hot and fresh. This spot is definitely a hidden gem. I'm glad I tried this fun and casual yet authentic taco shop. I'll be coming back for more birria tacos and to try their burritos next time! read more

This place is nasty and has no flavor. Ordered off DoorDash. Came with no salsa , or limes & i was missing a taco.

I've been coming here for years, stopped for about 2 due to food not tasting fresh. Came back yesterday for dinner, Spent close to $90 on not the nicest interaction and Carne Azada that just tasted old and recooked, fries that were just not fresh and crisp. I recall coming down for the Aguas Frescas in the past. They didn't even taste like fresh fruit. With the prices they carry they should be enough for quality read more

The Baja fish tacos were our favorite but the hard shell taco was good too. We wished we could have used asada or some other meat on the hard shell taco but it only comes in either a shredded chicken or beef. We both loved the loco fries asada. My husband liked the lengua taco, me not so much. The Al pastor tacos had pineapple in them, which was surprising. The cheesy tacos were indeed cheesy -- not sure if I wasn't a fan because I just didn't like it very much or because I'm pregnant and this baby has changed my normal taste. Will have to try it again after delivery. The aguas fresca were good too. We got the mango and the tamarindo. Next time I want to try the horchata. They also have fresh hot chips and those are sooo good. They have awesome lunch specials during the weekdays and their daily lunch specials look good too. Will definitely visit again soon read more

The food was delicious, but the customer service was terrible. I've worked in customer service and understand bad days, but our server was outright rude. She refused to serve our tacos with the standard salsa, cilantro, and onions on top, forgot our drinks, and had a poor attitude. Description: Latina, around 5'5", black hair in a bun. This was Thursday, March 19th around 6:30ish , in the evening. read more

The food tastes good. But their customer service is horrible! Ladies at the register take your order like they hate their job. Not friendly nor welcoming. If you want to keep your job act like it! I hope the manager of this restaurant reads this and takes it seriously with their employees. Kind friendly customer service is a big key to your business. read more

I'm pretty sure they changed ownership because the menu changed and it doesn't look the same inside and the food doesn't taste the same. There is no longer a chip stand where you can grab chips for free you need to purchase them now. The staff is very nice and kind. Ordering was quick and easy. I got a fish taco plate and rice and fries, a regular burrito, birria combo, and more tacos and purchased chips. The fish tacos were delicious and taste the same but the rice which used to be my favorite is now hard to swallow because it was hard and flavorless. The birria tacos were so oily and the birria dip was flavorless tasted like just dipping in more oil which it didn't need. The tacos I got the meat flavor was also non existent. The burrito was also on the same line as everything else flavorless with hard rice. This used to be one of my favorite restaurants that I don't mind driving out of the way to go to but now unfortunately will no longer return. read more

Have driven by this place several times wanting to try it so finally here I am. They had a small lot but it wasn't packed at all. There's some nice shaded outdoor seating on the way to the front entrance. I ordered the burrito bowl with black beans, a birria torta and side of fries. Chips and salsa were free, which is nice. If you order to go, they give you a small paper bag for chips, and more than enough cups for salsa. The burrito bowl was fantastic. The birria in my torta wasn't that great. I ate half, then tried revitalizing the other half the next morning utilizing the microwave and toaster oven. Still tasted too much like a soggy mess and the birria was just too flavorless, so I just didn't bother finishing it. Oh well. I'll be coming back, just not for the birria or a torta. read more

I like this place and I usually come because it's on my way home from work, but I usually get excellent taco plates in (Riverside) from the taco station. I wish you guys would at least put the rice to the top of the container on to go Orders like there's no way I should be able to get my fork and move the rice in the middle and see the bottom of the container. My goodness we pay enough for the meal. Can you please start filling The slots with enough rice more than three spoonfuls. And other places give you complementary chips it may not be a whole lot, but they still give you some now you guys have the audacity to charge extra. read more

After about 10 years, I am pleased to say that Loco Burrito still meets my expectations. With a simple flame in their design, the restaurant offers a kick to their setting. There is both indoor and outdoor seating. Food and drinks are great prices here. My favorite food to order is the al pastor tacos. Crunchy, hot chips are free when dining in; one bag of chips is free to dine-out. My favorite drinks are the aguas frescas, including the horchata and the cucumber lime. As for the champurrado, the powder was not mixed thoroughly. Silly old me for not trusting my old review about portions. Everything you order is likely to be filling. & the service is quick as well. read more

Ordered my burrito and sat down inside the restaurant in a booth right next to a window. Halfway through my meal, I see a dust storm in front of me and look up to see staff brushing the screen with a broom. She knows I'm there and doesn't stop until she's finished, looks at me then proceeds to start cleaning up the floor with the same broom. No apology, nothing. I used to come here often and everything was good. Looks like nothing lasts forever, esp. good service and decency. Do better. read more

Been coming here for years cause the food and service were great. Well it's under a new ownership, they removed alot of the items like carnitas in their menu and today we've been waiting for 35 minutes for our food, when we were the only ones here for a good 15 mins before everyone else got here but i see them serving other ppls food it's not like we ordered a lot of food it's just for two ppl... pastor is not as good a bit dry... PISSED OFF HAD US WAITING FOREVER WHEN THEY DON'T EVEN HAVE AC AND IT'S HOT AF INSIDE UNBEARABLE, MIND YOU IT'S 100 outside but inside it feels worse. Cheap asses!! read more

My husband and I grabbed some to go food from here in the evening. We got a carne asada taco plate and he got the Baja fish taco plate. The plates you get to decide which two sides you want. We each chose the refried beans and Mexican rice. We actually were thoroughly impressed with how good this tasted. The pricing is amazing too. Service was quick and kind. The take out orders come with a bag of chips, and dine in also get baskets of chips. It's a really nice chill spot. I wish we found it sooner! Definitely returning and definitely recommend. read more

Loco Burrito - 3 taco asada plate - Mexican Near Me - Moreno Valley, California

It's been a few years since I've had Loco Burrito, and not a day goes by where I don't think about it--especially that chile relleno burrito. What happened to the Norco location?! Do you know how many times I've driven by, craving that exact burrito, only to be left with Del Taco or Taco Bell as my only options? It's just not the same. I truly hope this current location is doing well. It's a bit out of the way for me now, but the food left such an impression that a review feels long overdue. I still dream of those flavors today. That says a lot. Please bring a location back to Corona / Norco--my cravings (and my taste buds) would thank you. read more

Loco Burrito is located in Moreno Valley off Sunnymead Blvd in a small parking lot. They have outdoor and indoor seating. (This restaurant isn't in the best area and has bars on all of the windows which feels a bit unsettling). They have a nice sized menu complete with lunch specials. I like they the specials allow you to pick multiple sides ranging from a side salad to traditional rice and beans. They also have fountain soda as well as bottled drinks such as Mexican Coke. There is no alcohol at this location. After ordering you will find that they have chips along with a salsa bar with all of the toppings and salsa you could want . The cabbage here is amazing. Overall the food is good ! However I ordered the taco and enchilada combo - my taco was placed in the same container as the enchilada and so the taco shell was soaked in sauce and came apart. In addition, my husbands food was brought out approximately 10 minutes before mine. Service was friendly. read more

Cozy, clean place with inside & outside seating. Help yourself to a chips & salsa bar - salsa was great! I had the fish tacos, one grilled & one fried. Both had a good size piece of fish & toppings. The grilled fish was tender and flavorful, the fried was equally as good. I was pleasantly surprised as usually fried tacos gets dried out not this one. Both were extremely delish! Nice size shrimp in the cocktail, it's served with salt, hot sauce & crackers. I like my sauce a tad thicker but overall it was good. I forgot to take a pic of the carne asada burrito but I was told is was big, good & it also had a bit of heat in it. Staff were quick & friendly. Prices are very reasonable & we left very satisfied. Will definitely come back again! read more

I've been here a few times now because I sometimes work in the area, and each time has been a pleasant experience! On the outside, it's nothing too special, but I was drawn in from all the good reviews and am happy to say they're not lying! I come during lunch to get the lunch special, and so far my favorite is the enchiladas. I've only tried the red sauce, but they also have green and I think I'll try that next time. You get a lot of food, and everything tastes super fresh. Only cons are that sometimes the food is a little too salty. The workers aren't overly friendly, but not rude either. They're pretty quick though so that's much appreciated, especially when I'm short on time! They have indoor and outdoor seating, but there's not much to it. The place is small. It's more of a to-go place imo. But try it out if you're in the mood for good authentic style Mexican food! It's my favorite so far that I've tried in the area! read more

Delicious and affordable food. You really get your monies worth. We had two fish tacos. One grilled and one fried. Both were really good. The tortillas were really tasty. My husband had the triple threat burrito. That thing was huge. It had a ton of flavor. I think the chicken was the best meat l. I'm not usually a fan of rice because its usually doesn't have much of a taste but their rice was on point. The workers were super friendly and the bathroom was clean. read more

The service was QUICK, the food DELICIOUS, the ambiance CALM; as it should be for a restaurant. lol I judge taco restaurants by three things... their salsas, their rice, their beans. No Complaints here! I normally ask them to cook my asada til that fucker is BURNT! I've never been here before so I didn't ask them to do that; so I got a glimpse of what they were serving. The Carne Asada tacos are PERFECT!!! You can taste the char, the marinade, and the perfect type of meat was used for their asada tacos. I WILL BE COMING BACK FOR MORE!!! Thank you for your delicious food! Other taco restaurants need to LEARN from this one! 5 STARS BITCH! I was paid in delicious food which is why they get a standing ovation from me. read more
