Stopped in at El Taco Loco on Union and got exactly what I came for. Carne asada tacos were…read morefantastic, meat had a solid char, good seasoning, fresh tortillas, no skimping. Real deal taqueria food. The salsa bar is the move. Big spread of house made salsas and condiments so you can dial in your tacos exactly how you want them. Family run, fresh ingredients, friendly service, fair prices. I'll be back next time I'm in Nevada City. Don't sleep on this spot.

Best tacos since Mexico!!! Favorites are the Mary Tierra and the Quesabirria Tacos (Quesabirria…read morenot pictured). Daughter is a crispy Taco fan and she said it was great! Awesome salsa & sides bar. Jalapeno ranch is so good and a nice flavor twist. I recommend the pickled onions as well to add to the tacos. Yum!!!

The service was friendly, but three of our four visits we had to hunt someone down for refills which was annoying....so I give service a poor rating, but the biggest deterrent is the outdoor eating area. We ALWAYS choose to be outside when we dine anywhere it is available, but the eating area is filthy. There are dry dead bugs in ages old spiderwebs, and caked dirt within inches of our table. In the windows .....If they would power wash the patios, it would be our regular dinner spot.

As per some reviews, I had to try the crispy tacos, mine were pollo asado, and a bean burrito. Let me warn you, the two tacos were plenty of food on their own! That said, both items had exceptional flavor. If I was in town longer, I'd have definitely returned to try other options.

No flavor in any of the 3 salsas. Also--leaving a tip for a to go order only to find out it's not at all good and not made with the ingredients it should be is getting very OLD. Won't be back. This was a mistake and far too expensive for what it is.

It's in the same shopping complex as the thrift store and what used to be Sierra Cinemas (cinema is closed down). I got 2 street tacos for 3 bucks each. Small but good..nothing special about it. I didn't try any other items but their menu is somewhat wallet friendly. They also have a children's menu. I like that they have a salsa bar...not big but had the salsas I like (habanero!). They also had warm chips. They have indoor and outdoor seating . Dog friendly outside. They offer dine in or take out. It is pretty small inside but many people get the food "to go". Their new hours are posted on the door..open at 11am ( see my photo) 7 days a week. I would probably go back and get the street tacos again and try more salsas. I didn't see beer or wine on the menu. It is clean inside and very casual!

I believe this is the first taco truck in Grass Valley! It is located on Nevada City highway in…read moreGrass Valley. They are situated next to McDonalds and share their place with a car wash. I have never had food out of a food truck before but my friend said they have really good food so I thought I would give it a try. I tried the quesaberilla and it was pretty good. It comes with broth and salsa. It's fried and I believe the meat was pork. The employees are friendly and they appear to do a steady business. Some of the plates are on the pricey side for a food truck. I probably won't go back but it is an option to try something diffetent!

When you bite into a taco whatever the ingredients, I personally don't want to assemble them myself. It tasted blah. The taco shell itself, I suppose I'm use to locations that actually deep fry the shell. The chicken wasn't bad at all. Def could have used more effort. Especially for the price of each taco. Def not gonna give it another go. I will admit the location is suitable with plenty of seating and shading, comfortable enough to chill while on the go. For me once I have a bad taste, I don't want to go back. I'm sure other items on the menu suite well and hope they continue in business for the others with variable taste pallets
