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
Alyssa C.

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!

Me and my family recently stopped by for a late lunch after the zoo. This was the perfect spot to…read moregrab something to eat after walking around the zoo. We started with the spinach dip and everyone loved it. It came with these toasted bread bites that had a great seasoning and crunch to them. They kind of reminded me of an everything bagel but as a bread bite. This paired really nicely with the hot spinach dip. They also have a ton of coffee and tea options. I was a little bummed that did not have fountain sodas. My sister got a smoothie and really liked it. For my entree I got the Italian flatbread. It was a really nice combination of flavors with the sausage and peppers. I sampled my boyfriend's flatbread (pickled) and thought it was great as well! They have a large variety of options, perfect for a group like my family with different tastes. Everyone enjoyed it and agreed we'd have to come back when in the area!

Brewskie's offerings are quite expansive, with a HUGE selection of flatbreads, wraps, quesadillas,…read moresides, smoothies, coffees, teas, as well as, much to my confusion, cosmetic treatments such as facials, waxes, and massages. I really didn't know what to make of it all, and worried the food wouldn't be very good, since their focus seemed split in several directions. However, I tried several different things on the menu, and most of them did not disappoint. We split a Green Bacon Flatbread and Cajun Chicken Quesadilla, and I also got a side of mac and cheese and a strawberry smoothie. The flatbread was pretty good, although it did JUST taste like bacon. I ate it with ranch, which they do well. I suspect their other flatbreads (which they have a LOT of) are less one-note, but I'll never know, because I would just order this one again. The quesadilla was great, and the chicken was well-seasoned. They also season the outside of the tortilla, and I appreciated the extra kick of flavor. This came with sour cream and a salsa verde. The mac and cheese was mild, creamy, and chock full of pepper. Usually I like a sharper cheese flavor, but I enjoyed it. Smoothies were extremely cheap (under $5 for a 16 oz), but unfortunately we got what we paid for. They were wayyyy too sweet for our tastes, and not a lot of any fruit flavors came through. Our server was kind, attentive, and quick. The interior was very spacious and I noticed several people with laptops out doing work while they drank coffee. It's a nice space.

Used to live in Asheboro & I remember loving the grilled chicken wings with the sweet Thai chili…read moresauce. So that's what I ordered. It's still number one in my book! Now, at first they got my order wrong. Instead of grilled they brought it out fried. Had to return them. Then, they brought it out with drumsticks instead of all flats like I had ordered (it's $3 extra). I didn't mind accepting them because I had to wait a while for the first and second batch and I didn't want to wait again. The waitress insisted on taking them back to make it right. I ended up with extra wings on the house! So that was super nice of her! Other than my wings, we had ordered the Philly cheesesteak eggrolls as our appetizer. Crispy outside texture with a good amount of ground beef oozing with cheese! It was fantastic. My fiancé thought it had a heavy onion taste to it, but I didn't seem to notice. He ordered the firehouse burger. It had fried jalapeños and pepper jack cheese. If you love spicy food, this is a great choice! It may not be as spicy as one would hope, but it has a good flavor. Even though they got my order wrong, they made it right & gave us extras. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our time there!

We were very happy with both meals. The server was very friendly and attentive. Tonight was a totally different story. I placed a carryout order while in town for business. I ordered the same as before. Caesar salad, chicken tenders, fries and Cole slaw. I arrived five minutes prior to the designated pick up time and gave them my name. The hostess looked at the various orders and said my order wasn't ready. So I waited, and waited, another hostess came by and asked what I was waiting for, when I gave her my name, the order was there the whole time. They also did not include any utensils, ketchup for the fries or the honey mustard that was supposed to come with the tenders. The only highlight was the Cole slaw. The tenders were overcooked and the fries were mostly end pieces and partial pieces.
