I've had this food truck at least 3 separate times for lunch and it hits every time! The last visit I was just amazed with the size of that breakfast burrito! I saw the sign for the chile relleno burrito ima for sure be back for that! read more

Asked for a vegetarian burrito and got pork ! :/ disappointed, The food is usually good, I cannot eat meat for health reasons and asked for no meat which is usually no problem when I request. The worst offender is I couldn't get my money back and I had to waste food . read more

I've been coming here for about three months now, and the tacos never disappoint they're packed with flavor! Today, I ordered asada nachos and the portion was generous enough to feed two people. Parking can be a bit tricky, and there isn't much of a dine area, but the food more than makes up for it. We ended up eating in the car no lie, they were amazing! They came with nacho cheese, beans, lettuce, shredded cheese, and a tasty sauce (maybe more, but I couldn't keep track because they were just that good). Honestly, these are the best nachos I've had in a long time. I even took a few bites before remembering to snap a photo, they were that irresistible! read more

$16 for a burrito that was mostly rice. And I had to pay $.45c for each salsa cup, wtf?? This would be ok in the desert. read more

Had a carne asada torta last night, and I have to say it's been one of the best I have had! Loved all the flavors and the yummy salsa they provided. Always appreciate when a place provides grilled onions, lemons and radishes on the side! read more

I have been coming to this place for over 15 years and I will never return again. When you start getting hassled because you asked for two tiny cups of salsa and they say that that's too much they want to charge an extra dollar. I literally have been going there twice a week for I don't know how long I just got help by somebody named Sylvia that said that's not the rules that they cannot do that worst service ever asking for two salsa is too much never returning there again. I would give zero stars, but that's not allowed read more

Restaurant was very clean. Food had a good flavor but the chicken my wife had was a little dry. My Carne Asada taco plate was very flavorable And it was not dry. I would recommend the Carne Asada over the chicken for this reason. Both plates were delicious. D.B. read more

It was fast and it was clean but the food is OK. Not worth the price my mom can make better tacos at home. Very over priced 4.50 for avocado

I used to come here a few years ago and I remember it being a good afrordable late night spot. Recently we needed food kinda late in the area, so we gave it a shot. I expected things to be a little bit more expensive with inflation, but things were about double. I figured that was fine with me if the food is delicious and portions are good at least, but then we got our food and portions were not really changed at all. I ordered an asada torta for $12. It was really light on the meat and heavy lettuce. I just think for $12 at that point its more expensive than a sandwich from most businesses in the area and smaller. It was decent but nothing memorable about it. I think in a pinch, this spot is ok, but I wouldn't be a repeat customer unless I had no other options at this point. read more

El Taco Loco - It was an alright torta. - Mexican Near Me - Bakersfield, California

So currently they're charging $20 for a vegetarian burrito. I think they're putting gold in there . $14 for a burrito. $3 dollar for a side of sauce and $3 for a side onions. This is ridiculous. And all they put in there is rice and beans and lettuce and sour cream. This is ridiculous. They make the food with no passion or love. The customers service horrible. It's. A new person everyone you go there. And their always moody and pissed of read more

El Taco Loco - Ridiculous with very minimal veggies - Mexican Near Me - Bakersfield, California

Taco loco has let me down for the last time. 1 thin slice of tomato, the bite of bone fragments in the meat. A few negative stars would be the best rating I'd give it. If u can find a better torta taco place go there avoid taco loco. Over priced and greasy old tasting food. The app is telling me to add a review of a star but really it's negative stars .!!!!! read more

First off wanted to say anybody looking to come to this taco truck needs to know all of their menu items prices increased by at least $2 so if they're thinking they're going to get a $7 plate of nachos look out it's $9. Second the customer service here has never been good and it hasn't changed the heavy-set guy who takes my order every time has an attitude and has a look on his face like he doesn't want to do his job. When I asked him to put the extra meat I was trying to get on my nacho plate on the side he said that's not possible. Reason I asked is because I never get extra meat when I pay for it forcing me to have to order a taco to make sure that I get my extra meat instead of buying extra meat. Third the nachos here used to be stacked to the top of the rim which is why I used to say these are the best nachos in town. The nachos you see here in this picture arent filled the way they used to be. For almost $10 a plate I expect them to be filled to the top every time. Food tasted the same which is why I gave you all 3 stars but please fix these issues. Just because fluffy put you on his show shouldn't give you giant heads read more

El Taco Loco - Not what they used to be - Mexican Near Me - Bakersfield, California

This is my favorite taco truck in Bakersfield. I consider it the original (O.G.) Bakersfield taco truck. Over the years, taco trucks have popped up everywhere. This one is still the best in town in my opinion. They also have a building restaurant at a different location. I think the truck's food is fresher and better. I usually get the asada burrito with everything. The tacos here are really good too. The quality of the asada is consistently good. No nasty fat or gristle in the meat and the flavor is great. This is a huge problem that I encounter with other taco places/trucks. The other ingredients (rice, beans) also taste fresh. The area where this truck is located has gotten worse over the years due to the high volume of homeless people and the nearby seedy motel. I just get my food to go and get out of there quickly. As of today's date 05-23-19, the price of an asada burrito is $8.32. Thats with tax and everything. Considering how good the burrito tastes, I would say that is a fair price. Can you find a cheaper or bigger burrito at another truck? Sure, but I bet it won't be as good. I really like the radish slices, roasted chili pepper, lemon slice, green onion, and salsa cup that comes with each burrito. (See my photo). I like to squeeze a little lemon and salsa into each bite. Mmmmmmm! So good! Then I bite the pepper, radish, and green onion throughout. A couple of times, they didn't give me a chili pepper or lemon or something. If I don't notice until I get home, I get real bummed cause I gotta have it all to really enjoy it. So don't forget that stuff if you are listening El Taco Loco employees! Also, they don't put napkins in your bag so you got to remember to grab them from the dispenser by the window. Other than that, this place is awesome!p read more

I have nothing bad to say about this place. Every time I've ordered from here they always serve me with friendly attitude and their food is amazing and I love that they stay open super late. Taco plate has always been my favorite dish. read more

I had the Nacho loco and a taco. The food was not the best, my nachos were smother in sauce and lettuce & just "not good" I actually discarded them. The taco was pretty good. In the pass I've had burritos from this truck and they have been good. The ambiance is the Shell parking lot across from Panama Walmart, so I take my food to go. The service is good. I'll try again another time. read more

Food quality is good , but this business should be ashamed to provide the quantity they do against the inflated prices, dont waste your money. We all get there is inflation, so raise your prices, but to flat ass skimp on the food , i.e. two table spoons of meat in a bowl filled full of rice , is ridiculous. I'll go spend my money at a fast food place that at least offers some consistency. Pretty disheartening after patronizing this company for the last 40 years, way back to their Taco Tricks set up on the corner of Weed-patch and Bear Mountain !! read more

It's one of the best places in Bakersfield to eat and fast service friendly very clean is the best

Nice new truck, good food. Close to my house. I will be here soon again when I'm hungry at 1am. Haha

wow $3.25 for a taco!! I don't know what's going on, but the quality of the food is not the same the meat it's is not the same by far it's just looks like the cheapest meat that you could buy. Unbelievable I had to pick out a lot of the lard the meat was very gooey it used to have little steak chunks back in the days great tacos, great taste you're better off making your own. I've been going to that truck for years. Took a couple of bites gave the rest to my dog. read more

Their Breakfast Burritos are the heezy fo sheezy my neeezy!!! I get the bacon and eggs burrito and it is so delicious! They are juicy! and with their salsa and serrano peppers add extra flavor and heat! They also have pastrami breakfast burritos. I've also had the carne asada burritos that come with rice and beans, hit and miss.... both burritos sometimes are huge, other times they are small. This place is very pricey! their price keeps rising while their burritos keep getting smaller.... currently the breakfast burritos are $8.46 they also charge to use your credit card! so bring cash if you want to save some $$ read more

El Taco Loco - Taco truck - Mexican Near Me - Bakersfield, California

Burrito are the best that I've ever had. Only down side is the service. Service is one of the worst I've ever seen. When you ask for anything extra they will charge you but you won't be able to check unless you eat it there. If the manager sees this please step up your employees customer service. I've been charged so many times for an extra add on and they always forget. I am not going to drive 20 mins home to realize something is missing g to drive back for the employees mistake. read more

I really like this place because the food is great and authentic! Most taco places I have gone to take a long time but here they are fast. The people that serve are kind and they prepare my food just the way I ask. read more

I got 4 tacos on my lunch 2 carna asada, 1 beef tongue and 1 beef cheek. They were all good and delicious. My favorite was the carna asada. They have tables to sit and eat but I sat in my car. They also take credit which a plus. read more

Ate here again today, and the taste/quality of the food has changed a lot compared to how it was back 10+ years ago. The meat is chunky, chewy, dry, and not flavorful/crisp like they used to make it. Sadly, won't be returning here again. Restaurants should never change recipes if their food offerings are getting good attention. read more

food is mediocre at best can't say really since they couldnt get my order right. the service is fuckin terrible. Messed my order up went politely back up then they try to tell me what I ordered and I didn't order right. then had me waiting another 15 mins for a new burrito instead of just adding asada to the rice and cheese burrito they gave me. then again is wrong as I stand here no asada again added beans this time after I wasted 35 mins trying to get an asada burrito. I do if this is even serious or this guy is just fucking w me idk about wasting your time here read more

This is probably one of the worst taco places in Bakersfield- that says a lot considering there are hundreds in town. This place is conveniently located close to the freeway and the gas station and open late, however that's as much perks as you'll get coming here. Food is is below average. Costumer service is awful. Our cashier, Horacio, not only was rude but you're able to see he genuinely hates his job. Safe your money and try another taco truck or go to Tacobell. read more

Sooooo good, ppl complained for nothing what do you expect? This are one of the best tacos in town, if you going to say something negative keep it for your self but if you really need to say it and is going to make your life better please do. Keep the hard work guys!! read more

I love this truck. The food is amazing. Tacos to die for. Id eat it on my lunch everyday if it wasnt for the wait time. Thats the worst part. Odviously theyve got good food since it ALWAYS busy. Which means wait time is crazy long at one point i waited 45 mins and thst was around 1030 at night read more

I used to always stop here on my way back to la, however, quality went down. Service also sucks here as other have mentioned.

So call me crazy but because I now live in California. I grade on a curve when it comes to tacos. And by that I mean a price curve. You over price your tacos I'm already skeptical I hit this place on the way up to NorCal on a stop that was GOING to be Denny's breakfast. I'm actually glad I found this. The cache they lost for me by being a bit pricey they made up for in creativity. Pastrami as the meat in a breakfast burrito. My burrito was $6.00. A little pricey. But good. DAM GOOD. read more
