We were driving through here and decided to stop. We were seated right away. We got to sit towards the back and it was (to me) cozier. My husband was in the mood for some ceviche and we asked because it wasn't on the menu and they made it. He said it was delicious. I ordered a taco salad and it was a good portion and also great. Overall, the staff were friendly and the service was quick. Definitely recommend. read more

I drove past Poco Loco every day, always curious about the place. One day, the family and I stopped by, we were very pleased. The service was quick, the inside is so cute and warm. The drinks were oh so nice and the food was satisfying as well. We've gone multiple times since, I recommend stopping by. read more

Poco Loco turned out to be a great find the night before my track day at Dominion Raceway. If you know the area, you know food options are slim near the track, mostly fast food, with better choices five to ten miles away. This little spot is right down the road and was exactly what I needed. The place itself has a cozy, laid back vibe. It felt like the kind of neighborhood Mexican spot I'd go to back home in Gaithersburg. The staff were friendly from the start and got me taken care of quickly, even though I showed up in the middle of a downpour. Service was relaxed and welcoming, which set the tone right away. For dinner I ordered the carne asada platter with a margarita. The steak came out on a sizzling platter, marinated just right, juicy, and cooked beautifully. It was served with a grilled jalapeño on the side that gave it an extra kick. I asked about a spicy salsa and they brought out their house made version that had real heat and real flavor. It was one of the highlights of the meal. Since it was my birthday, I decided to finish it off with a shot of Patron and a Modelo. In a place like Thornburg where you are mostly surrounded by fast food, Poco Loco really shines. Good food, friendly service, and a comfortable setting just a couple minutes from the track. I was glad to spend my birthday dinner here and would definitely go back. read more

The food was good. The service was excellent. The Margarita on the rocks was excellent. On a Saturday early evening found this place right off the highway in the tiny town of Thornton. Aside from what appeared to be a newly established NASCAR race track behind the Sheets, this placed seemed to be the best thing going. read more

Every thing is still great....had the shrimp fajitas and .....yum! They were terrific! Wife had the arroz con pollo . She loved it! Drinks were beer served ice cold and service was terrific and attentive! Construction all around and entrance was a left and a u turn to get into parking lot. But that was the only thing which was bad and then not even so much lol read more

Poco Loco Mexican Restaurant - Taco meat enchiladas - Mexican Near Me - Thornburg, Virginia

This place was decent. The food was good. Prices were pretty high. We got a lunch soecil which was $14 but a dinner meal was high teens to high 20s. We went for lunch so I don't know about drink specials. We asked but the server seemed confused. Salsa was good but the chunks were pretty big and I think would benefit from being diced more as you get a better flavor blend. I'd eat here again although im still looking for that "go-to" Mexican restaurant. This one didn't hit that market for me. read more

Passed by the place many times avoiding the traffic on 95 and this time we stopped in for dinner. Nice place that is larger inside than how it looks from the outside. Service and food were both very good. Fajita dish was big and tasty. Ask for the habanero hot sauce. Combo platter also very good. read more

Food is amazing! 2nd time here. My hubby is in love with the peach margarita. I had the pineapple margarita, which is new, but could t to really tell it was pineapple, more lime to me. Arroz con Pollo was terrific and my husband's steak fajitas were on point. Guacamole was also great. Highly recommend! read more

Wow! The flavors were amazing! I highly recommend. My friend ordered the chicken fajitas and I got a vegetarian quesadilla and when I tell you those were the most tender, flavorful, and well seasoned veggies I've ever had at a Mexican restaurant! They brought out chips and salsa --but also a bean dip that was delicious. We sat outside and enjoyed some margaritas. The service was great. Any time I'm back in Thornburg, I will be stopping by! read more

Oh my goodness! Sooooo good. We had an appointment at Duke, this is the second appointment and the second time we ate here because it was sooooo good the first time and they didn't disappoint! They have warm tortilla chips and a delicious salsa on the table before you get your napkin on your lap! Followed by fast, friendly & excellent service (Juan was great) and food that compares to no Mexican restaurant that we have near us (Wilmington area). I wish I were able to pick the entire establishment up and take it home with us. Spotless, comfortable & plentiful seating, Mexican music playing, and a cute atmosphere. Now the best part......THE FOOD! Served in a timely manner with a smile and beyond delicious! It's pretty obvious they take pride in everything they do. Top notch ingredients, fresh and amazingly tasteful! I had the shredded chicken quesadilla meal with a guacamole salad (so fresh and yummy). My husband had the chicken quesadilla with tamale meal with refried beans. I tasted all of his (much to his dismay because he was loving every mouthful! ) and it was all delicious The portions are plentiful and each bite was better than the last. We're heading there tomorrow after my next round of tests before we head home!! Sorry that I didn't take pictures! Deliciosa! read more

Super delicious! Really fast service. Best taquitos I've ever eaten. Guacamole was fresh & chunky and satisfying. Friendly service. We look forward to coming back. Eating outside was relaxing. read more

They serve amazing margaritas, tasty specials, have welcoming servers in a welcoming atmosphere.

What a fabulous find. Taking a trip to Richmond we got off the Thornburg exit looking for Mexican food and Poco Loco was a short ride off the exit. My wife had Chili Relleno and I had the Colorado Chili. Wow not a bit was left on the plate. Don't leave without trying the Tres Leche fabulous. read more

I've been coming here since it opened, but I live further away now and don't get to come in as much. It's been well over a year or so since I've dined at Poco Loco but I had a wonderful experience today. Greeted as soon as I opened the door, immediately sat and was brought chips and salsa AND the bean dip that I love so much! Service was kind and attentive. I was in a simple mood today so stayed pretty basic but it was really good. I will always say they have THE best queso/cheese dip in surrounding areas of Spotsylvania and Fredericksburg. Not too salty or overdone. Perfect every time. Looking forward to an appointment I have in a week or so to grab lunch there on my way back home! read more

Poco Loco is one of our go to Mexican restaurants! We love the fajitas and the burritos are HUGE and tasty smothered with queso. The chips are served with salsa and a yummy bean dip unlike any other Mexican restaurant around. You've gotta try the margaritas! They're the best, especially the frozen ones with no skimp on alcohol. The service is always kind and dependable. The restaurant is cozy inside a renovated house with unique decor. Highly recommend! read more

DELICIOUS!! Highly recommend the smoked shredded chicken is the bomb. Great service too!

This place was very cheap and affordable. I had their enchiladas which tasted amazing. I loved their beef flavor. The chicken flavor was ok. I also really enjoyed their rice it came with, usually I eat the rice as filler but I ate their rice because I genuinely enjoyed the flavor. I was not a fan of their beans. I took a couple bites and stopped eating the rest. I wasn't too big of a fan of their taquito, the flavor wasn't too memorable. Their Desserts were AMAZING. Their tres leches was the best I ever had read more

This place was on a friends to try list, I myself am always up for Mexican! Very friendly staff, cute inside and out on the patio area. Nice menu selection, to include drinks and desserts. We shared the empanadas and they were ok... a little bland inside. I'd say the same about the salsa served with the chips... needed a little something. The bean dip was an interesting addition. My main meal was the shrimp fajitas. Well cooked and tasty! Like that is comes with pics, guacamole, lettuce, rice and beans. Again, the sides could have used some salt, flavor addition. I tried a pineapple margarita and it was delicious. Overall it was ok, just a tad bland. I would try again to give them another shot! read more

First of all, the service was great. The staff were super friendly and very fast. Ive been to a LOT of Mexican restaurants (I'm from Texas) and this is the first one that I've seen that served warm bean dip with their chips. It was so good! Salsa was only gringo spicy (ie not spicy at all) but had a good flavor. The Chile rellenos were huge and very, very good. If you like heat, ask for their house made hot sauce. The medium is made with chiles de arbol and was amazing. The margarita was a generous serving size and perfectly refreshing. I really wanted to try their puffy sopapillas but was just too stuffed to eat another bite. Do not miss this gem! read more

Very good food and service. The ambiance was satifying. My husband and I will definitely be going back again. read more

Lucky find.....we thought we were just using their driveway parking lot to turn around in but we got a vibe this place wasn't your ordinary Mexican Food.

Best chili relanos ! Service always friendly and prompt. Reasonable prices. Fun outdoor dining area.

The ambiance and service here are nice. Unfortunately the food is average at best. We had the fajita, which was tasteless and bland. The ceviche was inedible - it was served warm and tasted awful. Salsa was tomato juice! Next time, I'll keep driving elsewhere. read more

We LOVE. Poco Loco! Always good food and fast service. We usually carry out but the restaurant is colorful and friendly

Stopped here while traveling from North Carolina with my family. We used the restroom first and then looked at the menu to see what we would like to order. My 9 year old who can be a bit picky (like most children) decided he didn't like anything on the menu. We decided not to order and gave our thanks. The gentleman working there then states "Oh you guys used the bathroom. If you only wanted to use the bathroom you could've said that". I replied that was not our intent at all and we could've used the bathroom anywhere. I found this to be extremely rude and was so happy we didn't dine there. read more

The service is nice and welcoming here. The food is fine for the price. The size of the meals are appropriate portion size. The chicken enchiladas were a bit too salty for me and dry. But the beef is good here. The enchiladas are soft and saucy. The tacquitos were super crispy as well but again the chicken was salty and dry. The desserts were good, the tres Leche cake was super moist, the fried icecream was good and crispy. The fried doughs were good but a tad bit sweet. read more

Clean, very friendly staff. Started with salsa and bean dip. Delicious bean dip. Salsa was like a lot of the Mexican restaurants in the East coast- Not fresh made. My husband had the Grilled steak tacos. Plenty of steak and flavorful. I chose 2 combination plate. Surprised my crispy taco was like the ones you buy in a box. (Taco Bell ect) only takes (10) seconds to fry a Fred corn tortilla) read more

A wonderful hidden gem! We arrived at 1pm on a Saturday and were seated immediately. The food was moderately priced, arrived quickly, and tasted great! Upon arriving, they provide you with free chips and two delicious salsa and bean dips you can snack on as you examine the menu. I have absolutely no complaints about the restaurant. It's not somewhere I would go out of my way to return to but if I am in the area around lunch or dinner time, I would gladly pay this place another visit! It's a very family friendly restaurant and the colorful decor creates a fun, positive atmosphere. I fully recommend this place to anyone in the mood for great Mexican food! read more
