Al pastor quesadilla
Tania M.

Yum!!! We came in on a Saturday night. Even though they were busy, we were welcomed right away and shortly after sat. Almost immediately our party of four got two bowls of chips and delicious salsa. We ordered a bowl of their guacamole especial. Amazing! We devoured it. Our server was very friendly. We all loved our entree orders. I got the Al Pastor Quesadilla. So so so good! We learned after eating that there are two separate entrances to the restaurant- one more quiet for conversations and families. What a great idea. They have a full bar and offer seasonal spirits. We will definitely be back.

Creamy homemade guacamole!

The Taco Loco Authentic Mexican food in the heart of downtown Asheboro. We visited The Taco Loco recently and sampled several of their dishes. The vegetarian-style burrito with cheese sauce on top was superb! Chicken tacos with grilled onions - they have some of the best Tacos in the Triad! You can get them vegetarian style too. Chips and the creamiest guacamole. Yum. Churros filled with caramel and topped with ice cream! I want to go back there just thinking about it! Good iced tea. The staff outdid themselves in service! Indoor and outdoor seating in this quaint and vibrant establishment! This is a popular place with the locals and it will be with you too once you taste their delicious food!

Shrimp fajitas

This place was recommended by a friend who had previously eaten here. We arrived as a party of 6 and were promptly seated. Our server quickly came to take our drink and food orders. There were plenty of complimentary chips and salsa to enjoy while we waited for our orders. The restaurant is clean and nicely decorated. There were remnants of Valentine's Day decor. Our food was served promptly. Everything tasted hot and fresh. The portion sizes are generous and the prices are very reasonable. I would definitely return again! Pro-tip: Be aware that the restaurant is divided into two separate dining areas that are literally around the corner from each other. If you are meeting people, make sure you go to the right one!

Great tacos and guac! My favorite was the lengua taco. Very tender and seasoned well. They have some outdoor patio seating too, which was lovely on summer nights.

The so called "large cheese dip"

I ordered food today and they told me it would be 15min wait I was okay with that but then upon arrival they told me they never placed it so I had to wait extra 20 mins for my food. I checked my order and I saw a salad cup portion of cheese dip as I ordered a large cheese dip paying $5 for it. I went back and told them my situation they said "we handeo it out wrong" when they originally told it was never placed so which one was it? I asked if I can get another cup of cheese dip since they admitted to me twice it was their fault and they said "no you still have to pay" I'm not a happy customer, customer service was not at all there if I could I would rate zero stars.

Salad with Shrimp

Taco loco never misses! Whether you're grabbing nachos to go for lunch or hitting the cantina for a night out, the drinks and food always hit the spot. They have the best fun cocktails! For some reason, I always expect the service to be subpar since it gets busy and loud but they exceed expectations every time. This spot is a huge asset to asheboro!

Salsa, Guacamole Especial and Corn Chips
Tauna S.

I have to be impressed to leave a 5 star review and the fact that my husband was also impressed, commenting that The Taco Loco food and service puts our favorite Mexican restaurant to shame...well this is a hidden gem!! The ambiance with hispanic music and the decor made us feel like we were on an adventure across the boarder. Yessy was our tour guide through the menu and experience serving food and beverages as well as advice with a warm smile and wonderful attitude. The salsa tasted like it had roasted tomatoes and the Guacamole Especial was perfectly flavored. The chips weee delivered to us warm and crisp. We split the ACP Loco and a Mahi Mahi Taco. I wish I would have gotten my own! Hard to share food this good but then again you have to share food this good!! The tortillas served with the ACP were hands down the best we've had. We are looking forward to another trip where we can check out the ambiance in the cantina. My husband usually does not get dessert but he decided to try the Pastel tres leches. Thoroughly yummy!

Fast and excellent quality We got sat down fast and the…read morestaff was excellent. Drinks were good too

The restaurant is lovely. Needs some updating but for the area, it has some ambiance of potential…read more Service was great. The gentleman who waited on me was attentive, friendly and eager to make me happy. I wanted a grilled shrimp dinner with some rice and salad. Didn't see any grilled shrimp in the seafood section of the menu other than the Shrimp with Rice and Cheese. So I ordered it, asked to have the cheese served on the side and asked if they could make a small salad for me on the side with lettuce, pico and maybe ONE sliced avocado. I told the waiter I would pay extra for it. And I just had water to drink. Got the bill. $23. The dish on the menu is $15. They charged me $8 for some salad, pico and 2 sliced avocados (I asked for 1 avocado). The food came out hot. The shrimps were good. They were grilled nicely but too bad I couldn't really taste them because they were swimming in cheese sauce. They just threw everything in a pile and put 2 sliced avocados on a separate plate. I specifically asked him to put the cheese sauce on the side and to ADD a salad ON THE SiDE. You also get one napkin. It's the one wrapped around your fork. No extra napkins. No hot sauce. No limes or lemons in the water or on the plate. I understand that I was making special requests outside of how the dish is normally prepared. It wasn't how I wanted it but I still enjoyed my meal regardless and I still tipped over 20% because he really did try to make me happy. No fuss made. Would I recommend? Sure! I'm going to go back and try other dishes. They have a beautiful large bar area and they have a special drink menu. There was not a lot of people there when I got there around 4:30pm but by the time I left, nearly every table had been seated.
