El Taco Loco has been open less than a week, occupying the space that formerly was FDKY. It's Mexican, so it's an easy decision for us to pay a visit. The inside has been completely re-done and is much brighter and roomier than FDKY. Gone is the sectioned off area and all the firefighter memorabilia. Instead the walls are brightly and sparsely decorated in a Mexican motif. El Taco Loco is a full service dining experience. The menu is sizable and varies, with specialties and traditional dishes. For my first visit I got the nachos. About the nachos I've this to say: Holy Hell! That's a lotta nacho, and it was DELICIOUS. And, before someone asks, no I wasn't able to eat all of it. The servers are very friendly and helpful. High marks for glass bottle Mexican Coke®. The restaurant is very clean, with tables being cleared right after a table empties, and I like the team work ethic. The servers help each other take care of the tables. I love teamwork. We've been looking for a restaurant to add to our Friday dinner rotation. I think El Taco Loco just earned a spot on that list.

It was dinner after our granddaughter's birthday, and she loved the experience there. The staff was excellent and the food was great! She just mentioned, 6 months later, how much she liked going out to that restaurant after her birthday!

Food was some of the best Mexican our family has had. Huge language barrier with both ladies working but otherwise great experience!

This place is wonderful! Amazing food at amazing prices. My husband and I went to this place when it was still inside the grocery store on Patti ln. At the new location the atmosphere and decorations are beautiful. It is authentic Mexican food served by native Spanish speakers. The staff is so nice and do their best to understand, so I hope others are kind and patient with them as well. I have an advantage that I'm fairly fluent in Spanish. I highly recommend this place to everyone who likes Mexican food. It will soon become your favorite place to go!
