    Bowl
    Dave W.

    Holy cow! My first (definitely not the last) time eating here. Obviously, portions are HUGE. No way I could eat this whole meal. May options to choose from, I went with the bowl. Mixed proteins, veggies, cilantro rice, then all sorts of additional items that you can add for no extra charge (except guacamole). Great flavors, nice staff.

    Quesabirria, chicken nachos, bowl

    The food here is fresh, delicious, and flavorful! It's a similar concept to Chipotle or Qdoba but the toppings and flavors are much more elevated. They also offer some different options like quesabirria and shrimp ceviche. We got the quesabirria, chicken nachos, and a bowl. All 3 items were delicious and plentiful. I definitely recommend this place if you ever find yourself in Washington, MO.

    Holy moly, this place shocked me! It gives any Mexican restaurant a run for their money. The food is super fresh and very fast. The line was long, but we got through in no time. They have all the meats available. The birria was absolutely some of the best I've ever had and it was piping hot from coming off the grill. You get great portions for the price too. Staff is very friendly and like I mentioned very quick to get people through the line. It's a smaller sitting area but still holds a good sized lunch rush. I can't wait to go back and try more of their meats and options.

    Worth the 45mi drive! It was a little hard to find due to the address bringing me to the back of the building and I am not familiar with the area. I called the restaurant and they gave better directions! Right next to the Asian buffet. This place looks small from the outside but it's actually a big place! Very clean and pretty. The food okay the food is delicious! The Ceviche was fresh and delicious! Large portion. The nachos were pretty good. We also had the al pastor quesadilla yummy. Everything is well seasoned. Very generous portions!

    Taco Loco is a great little fast casual Tex-Mex restaurant. It follows the Chipotle format with the setup and menu. I've been here twice and enjoyed my tacos and burrito bowl. The ingredients are all very fresh and delicious. This is my favorite place for Mexican food in the area.

    In a small but growing city with like five other Mexican restaurants, this place is a standout. The variety of proteins and salsas briefly gave me decision paralysis so I just got the quesabirria which are birria tacos with cheese browned and melted on the outside of the corn tortillas. They were unbelievably tasty especially with red onions, cilantro, and lime. I could replace my blood with the consumè it came, honestly, and I don't generally even like beef. I went with a burnt tomatillo salsa that was really spicy and had a great smoky, tangy flavor. The chips were crunchy and fresh, if a bit greasy, but I can forgive that with such fresh salsas. I'm excited to try the other protein and salsa options in the future. The beans were a bit bland BUT the rice was super tangy and they were excellent together and were nice after all the spicy. The staff were nice, the place was clean, and it seemed properly handicapped accessible. I'll definitely be going back.

    The food is great! Service is as fast as you know what you want to order...Margaritas are delicious..how could you ask for more. Ambiance is very laid back and calm.

    This place was awesome when it was Streetside Tacos, the service not as great when it became Front…read moreStreet Tacos... but Naomi's might just be the rock bottom that shutters the doors. 3rd attempt at this place since Sunday, May 2nd when they had a tent on the parking lot for Cinco de Mayo and weren't serving inside. That day, the food was already put away and foiled at 6:00 pm and surrounded by disinterested staff that implied they could open it up if we really wanted something. We just left. Last Sunday the building was dark and the closed sign on the door at 12:15pm. Google said they were open, maybe someone overslept? Tonight, at 7: 00pm, they were slow. Only 3 small tables of people inside. I ordered a Loco Burrito and a beer.. for $18+... Advised I would be on their patio (no wait staff)... Waited about 10 min or so... Checked on the burrito.. They seem surprised it wasn't made.. Despite no one in the place and my ticket hanging in plain sight in the prep area. Canceled the burrito, got my money back and left. They only get the 1 star because one good thing about this place is it forces you to try other restaurants in Washington since you can't seem to get a meal here. BTW... If Naomi's food is good the locals haven't heard.. The place now seems to be dead when we drive by, and it was basically empty tonite at 7:00pm.

    Great nachos and quesadilla service was a little slow but our waitress was really hustlingread more

Solid tap beer options, had a Four Hands Incarnation IPA, ordered garlic and parmesan wings. Beer was cold, wings were hot and flavorful, service friendly and attentive. Exactly the experience I was looking for on a pretty fall day.
