The food was very good. But everything is bar service and there are no servers, that was a little off putting. Also QR code menus. Overall good food, very bad service. read more

I wasn't expecting the food to be that good since this place seems to mostly be a brewery, and because the menu was so small, but the food was delicious. The chips and salsa were really good, and I loved the burrito, especially the potatoes with cumin. The staff was pleasant, and [[HIGHLIGHT]]I liked the wall art and outdoor seating area. There were so many pretty flower pots![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Stopped in for dinner after a friends recky. Lots of seating both inside and out.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They have menus or QR codes and you order off that and pay on it too before the food is served to you. Went with the chicken burrito and my gf got the barbacoa tacos. Chicken was full of flavor and the salsa was also delicious. Barbacoa tacos had a nice blend of spices. Very light. Just wish I was able to have a beer from there. Going to have to next time I'm in read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Very minimalist spot with large patio.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Some TVs at the bar...this is a QR code restaurant where you can order at the table whenever you are ready.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Nice beer, cocktails selection. Service was very quick and staff were very pleasant. I ordered the vegetarian nachos. Chips were fantastic but I should have added a protein. Veggies not well seasoned at all. I came right at 6pm and both Chef Specials were sold out. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The patio is the best part of this place. Great for meeting friends and family.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

We loved this place!! We stopped by for lunch on Friday. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere was great and the service was even better.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We ordered chips and guacamole, as well as a plantain to get started. Both were fantastic! The plantain was super unique, but perfect perfectly cooked. I loved the pineapple salsa that came with the plantain. For entrées, we ordered chicken Tinga tacos, as well as the daily fish taco special. Everything was delicious but the fish tacos were the winner! The fish was prefectly crispy and the slaw had was delicious! So, so good! We will be back, soon!!! read more

Visited a "new to us" restaurant this week. Kind of a mid-western take on Mexican food. [[HIGHLIGHT]]A brewery as well, of course, with two TVs... one for motocross and the other for the Red Bull channel.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There on a weekday night so it was relatively quiet evening.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Great service, good food, and a nice selection of beers. What more can you ask for? Go check it out! read more

The beer was exceptional and the food was pretty good. The birria tacos and quesadilla seemed to be the favorites. The service routine is a little wonky, as you have to order via QR code and wait for the food to come out. In a large group like ours, it caused the food to come out little by little...which caused our stay to be longer than we had planned. We'll definitely go back and give it another run...we anticipate it going a lot smoother. read more

I haven't been back here in a few years bc I really didn't enjoy the burrito when this place first opened up. However, this time around was night and day better. The hostess/food runner was super kind and friendly and walked us through the menu without even asking, which I appreciated! I don't love the order at the counter situation but food didn't take long. The chips are SO SO good! The quesadilla with pork was also really good, just wish I got a sauce to go with it. The corn salsa on the side was good but spicy. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Overall, I will be back and love the atmosphere in here![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I hadn't realized this place is owned bu locals but a nice homage to one owner's Mexican heritage is the name and cuisine. The folks are really friendly and food/bev very good. I had a flight of beers including Mex and American style lagers, Märzen, and an amber. My favorite beer style is the Oktoberfest Märzen, but I was surprisingly impressed with the Mexican lager. It was much better than any others I have tried. This one was a bit more malty than others, not the 'let's throw lemon in it and call it Mexican' type I've had elsewhere. The food was excellent as well. We both got enchiladas, 1 pork with verde sauce and 1 chicken mole. Not many places in the midwest do mole - they even asked me if I knew what it was when I ordered - I guess they've had some people not happy with a chocolate-based sauce. That said, this mole was a bit heavy on the chocolate, and a bit sweeter than others I've had. But I really liked this creative take on the dish. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant is a big room with the brew tanks about half floor below the main floor, and nice spacious bar on the right as you walk in. Near the front, there are 2 nooks with what looked like 2 x 4 people seating. I assume it was quieter in there, but we didn't have noise issues because it was late on a Tuesday.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Clean and modern feel and a creative mural on the wall opposite the bar.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We will definitely go again! read more

I have to say in 30 years of visiting micro brewerys this is my first that was a true Mexican brewer were the food was authentic Mexican, my Braised Beef burrito with Guacamole was so good I could have eaten another plate full. You have to order with the QR code at your table or go to the bar and order thier . Service was good . I can see why they have not moved out of the covid area with QR ordering good help is so hard to find . Liked the Ambiance loved the mural on the wall. Looking forward to seeing were they go from here . The brew was outstanding . read more

I am giving 3.5 stars. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The food here is hit or miss but overall, we liked the vibe and the building/location.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The burritos have fried potatoes in them and we didn't care for those at all. However, the chicken quesadillas were the best quesadillas we've had in a long time. The shredded chicken was very juicy and flavorful. Ample cheese. Large portion. Trust me, get the avocado crema as a side for dipping! Also, I really liked the house salsa. read more

In another life I used to frequent alllllll the breweries. Though they're really not my jam anymore, my spouse and I wound up at Loco Boys because of the positive things we heard about their Mexican food. As we waited on the spacious patio, I saw the most beautiful raspberry sour on a neighboring table. I was intrigued yet concerned it might be too sweet for my liking. My curiosity got the best of me, and I ended up ordering a flight, which included that raspberry sour. I am so glad I tried it. It was the perfect amount of sour and not at all sweet. Actually, all the beers--lavender blonde, raspberry sour, golden stout, and hazy IPA--were all top notch. I almost converted back to full-time beer drinking ;-) The food needs a shout-out as well. Loco Boys incorporates local produce into their dishes, which is so wise given that TC is an agricultural hub. Their asparagus special and vegetarian burrito were sublime. Kick things up a notch and make sure you throw on some homemade hot sauce. A small request to Loco Boys: can you puh-lease consider a vegetarian taco for the menu? Sometimes eaters want a smaller portion or something to split that's not an appetizer. Regardless, you've got another fan of your Mexican beers and food! read more

Short rib enchiladas were phenomenal! Absolutely loved them. Price was a little steep at $22 I thought, but still glad we gave them a try. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance of this place was very unique. It was open to the brewing equipment so you can watch from above, but it still felt quiet and comfortable.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We're from out of town but we felt like welcomed locals walking through the door. Beer and marg were delicious as well. read more

Loco Boys Brewing - Short rib enchiladas. Hear me out- I know it looks like a pile of baby poop, but MAN IT WAS DELICIOUS. 10/10 recommend. - Breweries Near Me - Traverse City, Michigan

Overall i think this is a great experience. Pro's are: Quick service Outdoor seating Fun vibe Unique food menu Prices are reasonable especially for TVC Guacamole and chips were yummy Bison chorizo flautas were amazing Burrito el pollo was great Cons: Everything was pretty spicy The salsa verde on the breakfast burrito was a surprise. Good in small amounts but too much for me unfortunately The crema on the salad was also pretty spicy and most of the salad went in the trash. I think this is definitely a repeat and the patio is exceptional. Unlike some folks who complained about paying with the Toast app, we liked it. No waiting for someone to come to your table. Order what you want and don't tip on the app if you don't want to. You can add the tip after the meal and close out your bill. read more

Brewery #270 We came here after getting lunch across the street at Slabtown Burgers for a flight of beers. Loco Boys has a nice outdoor patio and spacious indoor area. Their beer menu was also quite large and I wanted to get a second flight but we were in a time crunch. In my flight I got a Dirt Over the Shoulder(Golden Stout), Ay Papi Chulo (Mexican Lager), Vintage Value (American IPA) and a NIEBLA (Hazy IPA). All of them were really good but the Hazy and Golden Stout were my favorites. The people were extremely friendly like genuinely happy that you were there. My only regret is being full before coming in so I wasn't able to try out their food. read more

This was our last stop on our most recent visit to Traverse City. We ran into it quite by accident. And a pity too because had we known about it sooner we probably would've visited more often. The menu looked really delicious and I love the open kitchen concept so you can see everything as it's being made. We weren't terribly hungry so we just got a basket of chips and salsa and it was wonderful chips were crunchy and perfectly salted and you have several choices of salsa in varying degrees of heat. We shared a flight and tried out some of the beers, which were all quite good as well. We will definitely be back the next time we come into town. read more

No one greeted us on a Friday night when we passed the outdoor sitting area to take a seat inside for drinks. Several signs indicated that you could order drinks or food via QR code or at the bar. You can also pay via the Toast app. The only table service was a server bringing your flight. They were out of their flagship beer, so I had a 4 sample flight of average craft beers. Lot parking. Indoor/outdoor seating. What is the Toast app defaulting to a 22% tip for? No thanks for stopping in or come back soon upon leaving. It's very uninviting. Don't worry; I won't be coming back. read more

Me and my family went back to Loco Boys recently after first coming a few years ago and let me tell you, it was better the second time. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We were really lucky to go on a beautiful day right before sunset so the outdoor seating was lovely.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They have a nice array of beer which are necessary to pair with the flavorful burritos and tacos. I got the veggie burrito which was very good but could've used a wider variety of vegetables in its filling but that's really splitting hairs because it was great and I'd definitely order again. The only major critique I have for Loco Boys was that the side of "Beans and Rice" was lackluster. This may have been a misinterpretation on my part but when we got the beans and rice we were expecting a pile of beans and a pile of rice. In reality, the side is a bowl of beans with a few grains of rice sprinkled in it. It was very tasty but not what we were expecting.

Loco Boys was AMAZING! It's extremely clean, a welcoming and roomy environment inside and out (they have an AWESOME patio) and the staff were super friendly and helpful. You can scan a QR code to order food on your phone, or order with someone at the counter. They bring your food out to your table after it's placed. Everything we had was amazing and fresh!

Enjoyed our visit to this new TC spot. A plethora of outside tables, quick service and a unique Mexican inspired menu. The highlights were the mango salsa and the quesadillas. Both delicious. The guacamole was average. And the chips, while homemade, were just to crumbly. And kept falling apart. The blackberry seltzer was tasty too. read more

We visited Loco Boys Brewing with some friends from college and the food/drinks were delicious!

The food is greasy. It's unsettling because every item is overly greased; the chicken, the chips, the pork. All of it is greasy and it leaves you with this weird pit in your gut. Great queso, like great soup, is a sign of a great restaurant. Loco Boys queso is probably the worst I've ever had! When they first opened, it was a white queso and so tasty, but that's been replaced by the globby throw up colored 'queso' they're now serving. At no point should queso look like throw up. Loco Boys queso looks like straight up throw up, which makes me wonder?? Is anyone actually checking the food they're putting out? Probably not; this place is totally self serve. There's really no contact with a human unless you sit at the bar. QR code ordering, a random kid delivers your food and no one really checks in to see if things are going as planned. And when someone does ask, they're not really interested in the answer, ahem bartender gal. The chocolate cream puff was delightful. The bartender wasn't familiar with the cream puff, which also cracks me up because seriously, know your products. Come here for the kombucha, red wine from bobobo, maybe a cider or beer, but truly the food is not really Mexican and it's greasy enough to clog your arteries in one sitting. But know that while you're spending your hard earned cash on sub par food, no one actually cares. read more

My family was pleasantly shocked at how good the food was and the beer was also top notch. I wouldn't expect awesome Mexican food in northern Michigan after traveling up north for four decades, but am so happy we found Loco Boys. From daily taco specials (I'm looking at you, blue gill) to great salads, to roasted veggies to kids options, the food was amazing. Also had great Mexican and amber style beers. Strangely enough I've lived in LA, Chicago, NYC and would say Loco Boys is a top 5 Mexican restaurant that I've been to. Never thought I'd say that about a place up north, but they're great. Well done! read more

Big open space inside and a nice little patio spot on the side. We had chips and salsa (3 to choose from) and the garlic chips with green chili sauce. Both of the appetizers were good with homemade fried chips. The main course I thought was just okay. The mole sauce was a little too sweet for my taste and the chicken inside the enchiladas without it was a little dry. The barbacoa burrito was good however and so were the barbacoa tacos. Beer selection was good and there were many options to choose from. I really liked the "brewed by locos, for locos". Where is the merch? I feel there there is a market for some simple merch from this place. I didn't see any inside nor on the website! read more
