Visiting from Houston and run into this cute little place while roaming the neighborhood on our first day. Definitely recommend! Great choice of street tacos, regular tacos (corn, flour, hard shell), burritos and tastiness. Plus a great selection of beers and other beverage choices. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Sidewalk seating is available + bar + indoor.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] When you're in the neighborhood, stop by! The owner / manager was SUPER NICE, + they had just got a huge supply of coasters in that he hoped would be used very soon...so stop in and help him use those up read more

After Comic Con, we were looking for something new to try so we stumbled across this place in Little Italy. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The vibe here was awesome. It had a juke box to select songs. Felt like we were dining in a night club.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our waitress was really nice and fun too. She had an upbeat attitude and was adding to the fun vibe. We had chips and salsa which was tasty. I had the Don Margarita which was good too. We had a few shots that were all very yummy. I ordered the Cali Burrito and that's where I was quite disappointed. The meat in the burrito was very chewy and hard to swallow. I couldn't finish my burrito because it turned me off. My Best Friend had ordered Carne Asada Tacos and he felt the same way about the meat. read more

Good taco deal, especially when you upgrade to a $7 margarita, but definitely need more staff on a World Cup game day. I finished my tacos (4) before getting my margarita, which is crazy. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They have 9 TVs inside, so everyone can watch the game easily, and it's not too crowded.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Drinks are good and the tacos were good enough (the consume for the birria was mid) for game day snacks. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Colorful lights on the ceiling, clean restrooms, and full bar; plus a mix of indoor and outdoor seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They just need to hire more staff on game days to keep up with demand. read more

Look how empty this place was. Food still took an hour to come out. Table next to us for got up and left after waiting 1.5hrs. And when it arrived if was nasty as hell. Even Caucasians would've even complained. read more

Found this place walking around. I ordered fish tacos with no pico, when my tacos came out there was pico on them. The bartender noticed quickly and ordered a second batch, he let us keep the tacos in case we wanted to eat them. Wow how generous of him! My boyfriend did eat the tacos of course. The drinks, food, and service were all amazing. I'm glad I stopped by! read more

My second time in San Diego in a long time and I was craving a California Burrito. This spot hit the spot with just that for $15. It's a carne asada burrito with cheddar, french fries, pico de gallo, guacamole, and sour cream. Something about not having rice and beans while not feeling super stuffed and passing gas afterwards. I also ordered a Mazcalita ($15 with a flavor) which went well with my burrito. read more

Loved this place for the french fries and good vibes when it was Bolt Brewery. So happy to see they have kept those two things while adding tacos and margs to the menu as Taco Loco! Stopped in for a late lunch and just missed the weekend happy hour (11-2). We ordered burritos, fries and margs. The watermelon margarita was perfectly sweet, and huge! at only $15 and 50% off for happy hour, it is well worth your money! For food, I had to make sure the french fries were the same delicious crispy fries I remembered from Bolt Brewery and they certainly passed the test! The fish burrito was delicious - definitely more of an americanized mexican food vibe with the cheddar cheese, but the ingredients tasted fresh and the fish was crispy. Service was good and fast, our server did have a mix up with one of our orders but got it fixed super quickly and ended up sending us a free taco as well! The vibes inside are great, albeit the speakers tend to be turned a bit too loud depending where you sit. With plenty of huge TVs it's a great spot to stop and watch a game, or you can sit at the window side and watch the cars and dogs pass by on India street. Can't wait to be back for a happy hour very soon, and praying this place doesn't start having a line out the door! read more

Tasty food with generous portions and plenty of flavor. The tacos were fresh, well-seasoned, and came out quickly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The staff was friendly and the atmosphere was casual and welcoming.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] A couple menu items could've been served hotter, but overall it was a satisfying meal and a great spot for affordable Mexican food. [[HIGHLIGHT]]and yes the pet friendly is really big deal the next time I visit here I will bring my doggo[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

We saw this TACO LOCO last week when driving around for dinner at Little Italy. I know it was called BOLT BREWERY before, and I am curious to try this Taco Loco, so we went and found out it's the same owner. They just changed the name from BOLT to TACO LOCO and, of course, their menu. The first thing I noticed when looking at the Menu was that their price was still reasonable, but Im worried at first that the size portions are small. But when our order came the Price and Sizes of our food are good ones. We decided to get Burritos and I got their SURF and TURF BURITO which has a delicious sauce on it and good sizes of the meat and shrimp. My Son had the CALI BURRITO which also has a good sauce and good portion size. My wife had the BIRRIA BURRITO and she didn't like it, it has a lighter sauce and she said there's more BEANS that she can taste than the meat and she said Birria should have a stronger taste on it. Good amount of tables inside and very friendly staff . For parking good luck with it, it's not easy to find one. read more

Found myself a taco Loco today to try out the tacos. Let me say that I am so glad that I did. I have to grill shrimp taco, and the baja taco with beans and rice. Both tacos were delicious, but if I have to pick one, the grilled shrimp taco is my absolute favorite. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The environment is very chill and relaxed with great music playing and plenty of TVs to watch any game that's on.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant is very clean including the restroom.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I highly recommend. The staff is also very friendly and welcoming. I will definitely be back as an added bonus for my wheelchair users there's plenty of accessibility. Thanks again Taco Loco read more

This place is a great location, first of all! You order at the bar and it's open seating. The tacos were 7/10, wish there was some salsa served with, but there was a good flavor in the carne asada and I liked the toppings on the Baja. The burrito was better, loved the Avo sauce on it & perfect sized while being well-priced. The margs were good too :) Staff seemed a little overwhelmed and it wasn't that busy, maybe still getting the hang of things! Overall, we'd come back here in a pinch and for the burritos. read more

The older manager was very rude. Obviously has a problem with people who do not look like her

I would not go out of my way to eat here, unfortunately. While the service was really friendly and quick, there are just far better places for Mexican food here. The portions also don't really match the prices ($8.00 for a fish taco and $11.00 for a bean & cheese burrito). read more

We thought this was a new restaurant that replaced Bolt Brewery. As it turns out, Bolt Brewery was rebranded as Taco Loco. We took out dinner from here later in the evening. They have Mexican food as well as American staples like chicken fingers, cheeseburger, etc. Their website barely has anything on it currently, so no menu online. We found the menu through Yelp. TY Yelpies! The chicken fingers were good, but I thought the tater tots were a bit too greasy. I know tots are a fried food, but I couldn't eat more than a few because of the grease. My friend had the California burrito and thought it could've been better. They might still be ironing out the kinks so to speak. read more

Never Again! Disgusting! & Due to horrible Customer service, I'll never go back. Burrito tasted like garbage. Worker gave us the worst attitude and made us feel very unwelcome!!! I do not recommend this place! read more

Local resident who frequently visits this spot. It's in a great location. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Not large, but nice atmosphere with plenty of seating options-- and pup friendly!!!![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Food and service are so much better than it was as Bolt Brewery. Mike is always providing us with a fun & friendly experience. Prices are worth the portions for sure, but definitely recommend going on Tuesday or Wednesday for their specials. $2 Tecate and $2.50 tacos!!!!They surprisingly have great dry rub wings too. Shots are on the pricey side though. I enjoy & appreciate it as a casual bar-- I think there's so much potential if they wanted more business-- doing events like trivia, bingo, or karaoke. read more

This place were super cool! I was there a few months ago but was very confused when trying to write this review since it was called BOLT when I went and now it's called Taco Loco. There was a gentleman and a lady working the bar that were a little overwhelmed because they were shortstaffed. Service was still good besides being a little slow and having to wait a bit for things. They did forget my son's salad but he didn't mind. He said his steak was just okay but lacked some flavor. The flights were cool and the wings were tasty. My pasta was also very delicious. Overall a good experience! read more

Came here for taco Tuesday and enjoyed it! Nice casual vibes - a nice change of pace from the fancier Italian restaurants in the area. They have lots of tvs so nice to watch a sports game here as well, and loved the outdoor seating that is dog friendly. The tacos were yummy - the mushroom was my favorite! The tacos could have used a little more salsa or flavoring overall but they were solid. The Paloma was also really good. Would definitely come back for a drink or quick casual bite. read more

Ambiance is great with indoor and outdoor seating, over 16 beers on Tap with restaurants at walking distance. I can most likely see myself coming here again. Service was good and the beertenders were very attentive. I had 2 flights so I can give the majority of their beers a fair chance. I dig this place, beers are around 6% and up which is good. I can see myself stopping by here again on another SD trip. read more

This place is fabulous! Molly and Curtis (I really hope I'm remembering your names correctly, I enjoyed the margaritas haha) are awesome people, and I never thought my favorite taco would be an avocado taco, but it was soooo good. I want another. Definitely recommend checking them out! [[HIGHLIGHT]]They also had sports on which is a plus for me[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Great service, great vibes, I will be back! read more

Have walked by a few times but always on way somewhere. This time had time to kill and a beer sounded great. Grabbed a seat at the bar and ordered an IPA (forgot the name but it was delicious) I'm a pickle girl and if fried pickles are in a menu getting them. These were pickle straws and I'm now addicted. Never had quite like this and I want more. Perfectly battered and crisp. It was a perfect break on a long walk. read more

Great spot to watch sports and grab a pint or two whilst watching the game. Good location in little Italy with proximity to some fabulous restaurants. . Come here pregame, post game, pre/post dinner or both. Good service and kind bartenders. HH 3-6pm This places smells so great....like an Italian village. They roll up the doors to take in the little Italy vibe. Come have a pint. read more

Some patrons (who are men) took my fiends jacket. As we were in the bathroom, she gave her cardigan to a guy. She came back and tried to ask for her cardigan back as she was called. The patrons were swearing at her and yelling at her. The bouncer was not understanding. Instead kicked us out instead of the men. I believe this place is misogynistic and does not stand up for women. As the bouncers showed their true ideology and the way they view meet women. They need to get a new staff in the way they support all their patrons not just men. If you are attractive, and a hot woman, I suggest not coming here as they will degrade you. Hello aggressive, no understanding. Never coming back here again. read more

As a vegan, I'm always on the hunt for taco spots that don't just offer a plant-based option, but actually make it delicious. And this place delivers! I had the mushroom taco and it was incredible. It was so perfectly seasoned and flavorful. You can tell they put real love and intention into what they're serving. It wasn't just a "good for vegan" taco but it was a great taco, period. And bonus points for that beautiful view of Little Italy! Grateful to have a go-to spot with a truly delicious vegan option. Can't wait to come back (again and again)! read more

Ok so the atmosphere here is off the charts. Nice diverse music nice clean place and cool people around. The staff/bartenders were both awesome. They were quick enough given how full they were. The one that took my order was nice enough to let me try some beers and gave me extra info. We got Señor Suave and it did not disappoint. It was a light but not so light beer with a lager taste and summer ale like. It almost felt like it had a hint of lime. I only took a star off because being a brewery it should value their beers being cold. The glass they served it in was room temp or warm. The beer felt almost warm. Shame. We will still be back. read more

The guacamole was bland and too smooth. The tacos were a strange combination of many different things. The salsa was strange, and came with some kind of cheese? I was surprised. I'm not trying to hate. The staff were really friendly, and kind, but the food was not good. Also, $80 for 2 tacos and 2 beers isn't right. I wouldn't come back or recommend to any one, especially considering how many taco shops there are in little Italy, and San Diego in general. read more

New name. New venue. Bolt Brewery's owners changed concepts from a Brewery to Latino. Not to fear though!

Came here on our tour of Little Italy Breweries and were disappointed that they didn't have any dark beers on tap, but we like fruit infused ales and they had a mango and orange on tap so we tried them. Well we came back to this place three more times because those beers were awesome (especially the Hard Pressed Orange) and the bartenders were all very nice and outgoing. Got the Spicy Pickle Fries on our last trip, but didn't try anything else from their menu. The open bar lets a nice breeze in and there is plenty of seating. At least one dark beer on tap would put this to 5 stars, but it is still a recommended stop if in the area. read more
