The biggest thing I miss about living in Ferndale is how close Taco Loco was! Consistently good, kind staff, good prices.

Great Mexican option in Fortuna! The Super Quesadilla with shredded birria beef was fantastic. The staff was friendly and our food came out in just a few minutes. read more

I have been going to Taco Loco for years when I am in town visiting and only have amazing things to say about this place so I will share some of the things I love about this place. For starters,this is a family owned business and the owners, Lupe and Jose, do an exceptional job! I always try to support local owned businesses whenever I can. I love knowing that I am supporting a small family owned restaurant in the community every time I eat here. In addition, the food is made with fresh ingredients and it always tastes delicious! I also love that the service is excellent. There are always a good flow of people coming in and out of this restaurant, some dining in and some picking up orders to go. The food is priced well for how good it is and that is probably why you see so many people coming here. I am amazed by how many people and orders they have how it all runs so smooth and seamless. My food is always made quickly and the service is excellent. There is a decent size dine in area if you are looking to sit down and have a meal or you can get it to go. The restaurant is casual with incredible food. They say the food is "crazy good" and I couldn't agree more! read more

This place is awesome! Most of the time you get the best meal ever. The prices are average! I think if you go to restaurants a lot you'll know that it's not always the same because there's different chefs on different days. So my advice is , when you find something you like.. find out who the chef is and call ahead of time.. you can see if Chef working so you can get your best possible experience! Happy eating everyone! read more

It was so good I forgot to take a before photo! I ordered the crazy sauce on the side and tried it alone--delicious. As always, the service was great. The noodles were cooked perfectly and the birria was incredibly flavorful. Overall, such a great addition to their menu! read more

Mexicana and SoCal native. Some of the most delicious Mexican food I have found in Humboldt County. Light and fresh and delicious. The staff was delightful. The drink selection is pretty large. Fountain and canned and bottled. Fresh Agua Frescas. All the sauces had flavor and some heat that was just perfect. Not too spicy. I will be back. I cannot wait to try more dishes. I got the chile rellano and chicken enchilada and it was so good. Clean and cute. read more

Taco Loco - CHILE RELLENO COMBO with a Chicken Enchiladas - Mexican Near Me - Fortuna, California

We had Taco Loco cater my daughter's 13th birthday, and everything was delicious. I would definitely recommend Taco Loco for any event.

Pretty good. I typically stay two things I've ordered before and the chili Verde burrito is very good. Very friendly staff.

As someone who grew up in SoCal Taco Loco is a taste of home. The chili relleño burrito is my fave, but everything is good. And yes, I do drive 30 minutes one way for their food. Great Mexican food is worth the drive. read more

By far the slowest service in Fortuna. The restaurant will be completely empty and will still make you wait 45+ minutes for a single burrito after saying it will only take 15 minutes. I have no idea how this place still operates. read more

We love Taco loco . It's a great place to sit down with friends and family and enjoy a great meal

While back home vacationing in CA from SC we stopped by Taco Loco . Although $1 extra they have hands down the best homemade corn tortillas . The Al Pastor is amazing , the hot salsa is not hot but has some top notch flavor . Chips and salsa are average All in all a great place for some killer tacos read more

I love the cozy family atmosphere in Taco Loco. They are consistently kind, attentive, and the food is amazing. Don't miss out on the hibiscus tea. read more

What a pleasant surprise coming here. The place is inviting, but not blow your socks off right off the bat. However, the friendly welcome, food recommendations, and genuine smiles from the lovely staff working here just made your meal even more delicious than it was! I had the Birria tacos and they were made authentically. Truly delicious! read more

Fresh and tasty food, friendly staff. I had a sope with carne asada, something that's hard to find. Sope seemed fresh-made and the carne asada was flavorful. My guy had a chimichanga and loved it--big enough to save half for later! read more

Excellent service! Scrumptious food! Nice inside! Will go back and Thank You Very authentic Mexican food! Yummers!!!

$9 for a bean and cheese burrito? I get prices are going up, but this wasn't even a good burrito. Beans were bland and I couldn't even detect the cheese. Plus, they added rice. I didn't want rice, but there it was. Hard no on this place. read more

Tried this place for the first time and it did not disappoint. The service was great and the food was even better! My husband and I got the crazy fries and the birria tacos. this will definitely be our go to for Mexican food. read more

My first impressions: Awesome food. Nice customer service. Really popular place. Huge burritos!

By far the best Mexican restaurant in Fortuna. The atmosphere was welcoming and the staff were hospitable. I ended up getting quesabirrias, a wet burrito, and chili relleno a la carte and all of it was a 10/10. I rarely go to Fortuna, but when I do, I know I have to stop by Taco Loco before I leave. The flour tortillas are to die for. read more

Buena comida, buen servicio, buen restaurante. ¡Estoy deseando venir aquí de nuevo! Mi comida favorita aquí son los tacos de pescado, también son muy sabrosos y deliciosos. ¡Tampoco está tan mal el precio! read more

Good service and the food is pretty good depending on what you get. I prefer their chimichangas. HOWEVER, they use styrofoam to-go containers. This is very environmentally unfriendly and should be banned in California (Will be soon) I would rate this business higher if they were more conscientious about the impact of this destructive material. They should aim to be the first Mexican good restaurant in Fortuna to stop using styrofoam Stay woke read more

On a long trip down Hwy 101, the kids were demanding burritos. Civil unrest was imminent. We stopped at Taco Loco in Fortuna after accidentally passing all the affordable taquerias in Eureka. The ambience was casual and comfortable--the kind of place where nobody gets too unruffled when your boisterous family of six tumbles in. We were greeted warmly by the staff at the counter. The menu is fairly straightforward, so ordering was a breeze. We were invited to choose our seats, and offered enough baskets of chips and salsa to keep the edge off everyone's hunger. The burritos were tasty and well-sized. I would have liked my "hot" sauce to be a little hotter, but on the other hand there were no complaints from the kids that the food was too spicy. While I was *just* on the wrong side of full after finishing my burrito, the kids all finished with leftovers still on their plates, which Dada quickly demolished--once again his strategy of not ordering an entree and finishing what the kids couldn't paid off. Since each burrito was about $7 or $8, we thought this was a great value. The thing I appreciated the most was the family atmosphere. The lady at the counter was so kind while the kids were ordering, and was genuinely warm and welcoming. As we finished up, she came over to chat and coo at the baby. She told us about her new niece, and the family-owned restaurant. Good food from nice people at a price a large family can afford--that's a great lunch on the 101! read more

Taco Loco - Taco salad with chicken - Mexican Near Me - Fortuna, California

OMG!!! As a lifetime California native, Mexican is almost always my go to on the road food. I've eaten and Mexican restaurants in every part of the state. Taco Loco is a clear winner - handmade tomales, handmade corn tortillas, home cooked Birria, etc... It's also inexpensive. I hope they stay in business for a long time. ! Also, Fortuna has the lowest gas prices, by as much as 60 cents per gallon, anywhere between Scotia and Crescent City. read more

The tacos looked and tasted like homemade but the shredded beef was dripping with grease. Overall it was tasty but needed to be drained before serving. read more
