Not bad! We'd go back again. Pros: cheap food, good food, fast service, huge cheap margaritas that were stronger than they tasted, free chips and salsa, great tortillas made in house, large portions Cons: our waiter hadn't tried any of their food, margaritas were not highest quality, service was only okay, they charge for all kinds of extras. I recommend the fajitas, think the waiters should try some food before they start waiting, and don't like that you get charged for extra tortillas (three is not enough for the huge plate of food). Overall, we had a good experience. read more

This is the second location I've been to here in Saginaw, MI. I like this location better than the other one. Service: We were greeted and seated right away. The hostess was friendly. Our waitress was friendly too. She came back every so often to check on us, and was quick to bring things we requested (more water or more napkins). Food: I ordered the steak fajita but minus the tomatoes. It was good! It was a lot of food though. I took home half of it and had it for lunch the next day. Drinks: The house margaritas are pretty good. I like mine blended or frozen (as they call it at the restaurant). They have a full menu of both alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, so everyone can have something. Note: I will definitely be back when I crave some Mexican food! read more

Fast service. Had chicken soup and a chicken chimichanga a la carte. With extra pico. Chimi was good but soup was even better. Small bowl is pretty big, too. read more

Coco Loco is the latest of many Mexican Restaurants at this location and we tried for the first time yesterday. The prices were reasonable and the portions were huge! The service was fast, attentive & friendly. We were eating at prime dinner time; after ordering, our food was out incredibly fast! Two of us shared the Fiesta for two, it had a taste of all the meats (chicken, steak, pork & shrimp), fajita veggies, quesadillas, rice & a tasty chorizo cheese dip. It easily could have fed 4 given the chips & salsa you get when you sit down. We took home half the meal! The house margaritas were standard, a bright green generic mix on the rocks, nothing to write home about. The frozen drinks around us looked good. read more

Very good service. Very good food. Not the type of Mexican you would expect in Mall Hell. Food was fresh. Really impressive table service, most Mexican restaurants suck at table service, but this place is great at it. read more

Yummy lunch - enjoyed the margaritas and chips/salsa. My spinach enchiladas were tasty - fresh spinach was appreciated. My whole family enjoyed their meals too - beef enchiladas, chicken with white sauce, and plenty for the vegetarians. Inexpensive, too. Saginaw is a bit of sad place, to this out of towner, so this place was a nice stop to make. read more

Great atmosphere, fast service- though not always friendly or accurate, and decent fast food. Full bar and typical Tex-Mex menu. The remodel looks great. Tends to look clean and well-kept. read more

Coco Loco - Mexican Near Me - Saginaw, Michigan

I have been here many times but I have to rate the place is mediocre at best... Some things are good but some things are simply not. The first item I ordered today the tamal dinner was not available due to the lack of tamales which I suppose could happen sometimes. The second item I ordered today was the seafood chimichanga advertised as being stuffed with shrimp and crab... While it did have a good amount of shrimp, it did not contain any crab at all. Crab spelled with a "C" on the menu was definitely not real crab. Had I realized it was imitation Krab I would not have ordered it...Certainly not at nearly $19 read more

i've always been leery of this restaurant- i didn't go inside to eat until i had already left saginaw and came back to visit. was it good? sure. was it great? no, definitely not. the chicken fajitas were your average fajitas. too many peppers for my taste, but they had a good spice to them that was pretty good. overall, the staff was very gracious and the food was alright. it's worth a shot. read more

Overall: Yes A fun and pretty tasty place to get some Mexican food. Poco Loco has some terrific interior decorations, chairs, tables, and decor that really throws together an enjoyable and authentic eating experience. The food itself is well prepared, we got our orders taken quite quickly and served quickly as well. While the dishes aren't bland, they're not too rigorously seasoned and the presentation is just good. Nice servers, the chips and salsa are fresh (all the ingredients taste fresh) and the music isn't too loud which I always appreciate. Was traveling through town and would definitely stop in again for a no-nonsense, reasonably priced meal! If you're swinging by, and in the mood for Mexican food...definitely give these guys a go. read more

Coco Loco - Entrance! A taste of what's inside - Mexican Near Me - Saginaw, Michigan

I'm sorry, but since when does a Mexican restaurant not use spices? Bland is the kindest word I can use for the food, starting with the tomato sauce (salsa). My server was nice, but overall service was slow. read more

I looked at the yelp ratings but not the dates. My mistake. I saw the 4 stars. Our waiter was very friendly and the restaurant was clean and bright. Servings were large and the price was ok if the food was good. The food was VERY bland and flavorless. Salsa tasted like tomato sauce and guacamole was flavorless and almost smooth and runny. CheeseEnchiladas were bland, tasted like tomato sauce and the cheese was like glue. It tasted like American cheese which I don't like. Pork enchiladas verde was chunks of grayish tough meat thrown over the enchiladas. I really wanted to like it. I love Mexican food and have a fairly wide range of what I think is ok but this wasn't for us. read more

Since our move back from SW KS, we've been missing a decent Mexican restaurant! Upon Yelps recommendations, we decided to give this one a try! Excellent seafood chimi and the prickly pear margarita was amazing! We shall return! read more

I was in shock at how amazing this beautiful restaurant is. Not just the interior not just the exterior not just the food but the staff. ONE worker in particular JAYDEN he was the best waiter I've ever had in my entire life of living on this earth. He made sure that me and my grand baby's drinks was NEVER empty. He RAN to our table to get our order so we didn't have to wait. HE was the most mannerly man I've ever met in my life. I took my grand baby's to this restaurant and they both got enchiladas and I got the chicken nachos. My grandchild Chico was crying by the end of his meal but happy tears cus he said it was the best food hes ever eaten in his entire life. My other grand baby Bianca had a GIANT crush on Jayden. Bianca is only 9 so she is still a little child but Jayden was so good with the kids he gave them a coloring book with some crayons well they waited for the food. I was so impressed by the friendly staff, great food, and our OUTSTANDING waiter Jayden. Ps this food will make your Bowles move ladies and gentlemen!! read more

Overpriced, microwaved food! If that's what you are craving the day, Coco Loco is your place! I can't really give one star because for nuked food it isn't too bad! Lol And service is ok. Not great but whatever it's Coco Loco so don't expect extra napkins! Won't be back anytime soon! I don't like having that sticker shock look on my face when realizing I'm about to pay over 20 bucks for old fajitas! Think I'll pass next time read more

Not enough food on the plate for the prices. Not a great stop while in Saginaw, Michigan

Went to lunch with my daughter. Food was not good at all. Prices were kind of high. We ordered a cheese enchilada for my granddaughter and it cost 5.49! just for a tortilla and some cheese on it! I ordered the Patito Dinner, that was not a Patito at all, hardly any meat in it at all. My daughter got some kind of dinner with pork on it and she did not like it at all. Ordered "Grandmas Salsa" which they charge you extra for and it was just like warmed up tomato sauce. Requested a manager and he came to table and said he would give a discount to us. We got our bill, I paid it and did not notice until I got home that there was no discount. well 38.00 later I know if I will return to that Coco Locos. I have been to the one in Bay City and the food was always great! and the service was excellent! read more

I decided to meet at this restaurant for a casual girls night out. I wanted something I thought would be festive and fun for dinner and a couple drinks. This place far exceeded my expectations. The overall dining experience was as good as a Mexican restaurant gets. The chairs, tables, walls, booths and even bathroom were decorated with fantastic colors and displays of Mexican decor. The service was great, the food delicious and the Lime Margaritas tasty! I started my night with a "medium" sized blended Lime Margarita. The "medium" looked almost like the size of a pitcher, it was huge and yummy. I ordered La Botana which was an awesome nacho dish with beans, grilled steak, chicken and all the Mexican fixings of sour cream and guacamole. The night was even more festive with live Mariachis that sung to every table. I would definitely recommend this place for a good time with family or friends and I plan to go back for more. read more

From walking in to sitting down, at first I'm thinking like very tacky Mexican. I think I like it. Homemade Chata and Sangria sitting as display. Funky little Mexican pic'd swiveled bar stools. That anyone with ADHD would love. We sat at the bar. I was sold on the Sangria which was really good and tasty. Served with Chips and salsa to hold you over while ordering. Homemade salsa had a nice fav and the chip a nice crunch. All good so far. Yay! Bc I'm very hard to please. We started with Guacamole Salad which was a good. For the entree we order Parrillada Mexican. Shrimp, steak, chicken, sautéed onions, tomatoes, and bell peppers. Topped with a pork chop and ranchero sauce. Beans, rice, pico de gallo, sour cream, guacamole and lettuce on the side. The pork chop was so, I mean so Salty! Almost like it was cooked Perfect then an evil sibling came and dumped salt on it when you wasn't looking. I was like REALLY! Then I jumped into the rest looking to see if it was just the pork or everything was bathed in salt. It wasn't cooked in salt the salt was poured after cooked. Pretty much all the meat was salted but not as bad as the pork. The rice tasted as if stirred with butter like country crock after it was cooked. The pico was ok but Meijer Deil is better. The beans was the best part and I hate refried beans. For desert which at this point I just should of stopped. I had to complete this review by ordering the Flan. Which was decent. But no warning of whip cream and chocolate. I prefer just the Flan with extra syrup. Which I thought needed more. Overall ok little place with salty food. So if a heart attack is desired in your near future this is the place for you. Or maybe it was a bad night from the cook. read more

Good tex-mex food, great atmosphere, fast service and reasonable prices. Tried a combination plate to sample a few things and nothing disappointed, even the rice and beans were good. Definitely worth checking out. read more

Stopped here today after my OB appointment with my mom. We both had the chicken chimmichangas. Absolutely delicious! Our server Lauren was a sweetheart and very attentive! We will definitely come back to this restaurant! read more

This was a disappointing dinner. First let me say the staff was very friendly, no issue there. The food on the other hand was sad. Also isn't it just common restaurant etiquette to not bring one persons dinner out and leave the other sitting there waiting? Well that happened, at least I had chips and salsa. But I didn't like the salsa, it tasted like a jar of tomatoes. Zero flavor. I ordered the stuffed quesadilla. It came with sliced tomatoes, well one half a sliced tomato. Sliced? For real, that's just lazy! The chicken was good, the shell was greasy. read more

Everything was tasty. Had The chicken / beef chimichanga. Yum! Chips and Salsa were fresh. Also go with a close person and the experience becomes even better!!! read more

Exceeded my expectations. We took a chance and were not disappointed. It was very good food, good atmosphere, and worth coming back to.

The food is great and the service is great, the one on gratiot service sucks really bad and I wont be going to that one again

Good fast service. Great prices. Good food. Worth checking out. I got the Carna Asada tacos and the meat was tender and flavorful. Good prices on draft beer too. I will be back read more

Really good food and good value! We eat here all of the time whenever we visit my folks in Saginaw. They are consistently good and food always comes out fast and fresh. Definitely try the queso blanco! read more

Always great service. I've tried many of their dishes and have always been very satisfied. If you're on a protein diet, stick with the fajitas. The chorizo con juevos is another favorite. The prices are fair and the service is great! read more

My family and I are regular customers of the Bar City restaurant. While in Saginaw last evening we decided to get carry out from the Saginaw branch. In or normal fashion we placed our our. I an a chips and salsa person and the salsa is very medium. I also pay extra for the HOT salsa you have to request. My husband request the HOT salsa for me and paid the extra cost. Upon returning home I realized that we were not give the salsa. Not the regular salsa that my family eats to the HOT salsa for me. We were given 3 containers of HOT SAUCE. Hot sauce directly from a bottle poured into containers. Not only was I upset because we spent money for an item we did not receive. I was offended that as an African American family we were given containers of hot sauce. We will never be customers of this restaurant again. read more

We wanted to try this place out rather than our usual "Los Cuatros" spot, but very quickly realized that trying something new isn't always good. We got seated quickly by a not very enthusiastic hostess/waitress, got our drink orders in, food in, all is well. She hands us our salsa and chips, and that's where it starts to go bad. Apparently, Coco Loco thinks that just plain, typical tomato sauce is good enough for salsa. Yuck. I've never had such boring salsa in my entire life! When we asked if they had anything spicier, she said yes, but it'll cost you. Most Mexican places offer hot or mild salsa FREE OF CHARGE. This place doesn't. Our food was only so-so. For what you're paying, the portions are extremely small. My hubby's chimichanga was just a small, rolled up burrito, maybe no longer than 4 inches. Usually, they're at least double that at any other Mexican restaurant we go to. The service was very poor. It was obvious the waitress didn't want to be here and truly didn't care about our experience there. We were very often needing drink refills. Don't waste your time by going here. Go to Los Cuatros instead. Coco Loco is more expensive, has smaller portions, has EXTREMELY bland salsa, and poor waitstaff. We will not be returning. read more

Chicken in my chimichanga and on nachos was cold. Disorganized wait staff (hostess randomly promoted to our waitress after seating us and she had no real knowledge of the menu or how to wait tables. She was surprised as we were that she was our waitress). read more

Not a fan of their food, I find it rather bland. However, they have great margaritas & drink specials! Staff is really friendly.

Hands down one the best Mexican restaurants in Michigan outside of Detroit. I loved the atmosphere and the setting inside. Reasonably priced, great service, and good food. Any chicken dish here is very good, they seem to have a really good shredded chicken... I really enjoy the chicken soup as an appetizer. They give you chips & salsa when you sit down which is nice. They have Mexican beers and huge fishbowl margaritas. read more

Solid 4 star restaurant. Very clean. They make their own tortilla chips which is nice. I had the steak tacos. 3 nice size tacos with rice & beans for $13. Steak was slightly tough but I don't expect ribeye for the price. Taco's had very good flavor and I left full. I will definitely go back. read more

I would give this Resturant a zero if I could, it starts with the manager and owner. My service was so horrible the waitress didn't even know to put salt on the rim of a margarita. Food took over an hour to bring out and there wasn't a soul in the place. I see why now....Ask owner to contact me and they never would. NEVER EAT HERE EVER! There are restaurants that appreciate your business this one DOESNT CARE. Poor service poor management!!!!! read more

All this talk of the size of the margaritas here, they are huge but nobody mentioned they are terrible. Tastes like the crap permafrost u can buy at the super market. At $12.99 a glass I expected better. The sangaria was good. Yeah the service was good. atmosphere was kinda annoying to me. I mean if anyone has been to a locals restaurant in Mexico, u would know this is trying to hard much like the larger chains. Salsa was horrific. The food was good. No complaints on the food. Was it awesome? No. Was it better than most in the area? Yes. read more

Eat here quite often, but haven't for about 4 months because of personal issues. Have always loved the food & service is good too. ( Maybe because we are usually 1st or 2nd after opening at 11:00 a.m.) We ate here 8/6/15 and we were very surprised to see the JUMP in prices. I had the seafood chimichanga & thought by raising the price from $14.99 to $ 17.09 they would use real crab, but not the case. Whole menu has price hike, so will think twice about what to order next time. read more

Great food but seriously a Bloody Mary is more than tomato juice, vodka and a small pickle spear.
