I've mostly just had their food truck or takeout, which are always good, this time was my first here sitting at the actual location. The restaurant is attached to a gas station in Avondale, it looks like your typical authentic Mexican place! Nothing flashy, it's pretty small inside but I haven't often seen it crowded. The food is pretty damn good. The carnitas taco is huge and filling, with really tender and moist pulled meat. Their tortas are huge and really good, and I've heard great things about their nachos. Not many complaints in this department! Classic and pretty authentic Mexican street food. They don't serve alcohol so keep that in mind! Although you can buy some beers at the gas station next door and BYOB. The service, however, was pretty objectively terrible? They came back and asked us to repeat our order 3 times. Didn't refill waters or chips until we asked multiple times. There weren't any other customers even there at the time, so this was a little bit of a let down. Hopefully it was just a bad day, I'm definitely willing to come back and try. read more

Great Mexican Street food on Crestwood Blvd/Hwy 78! If you need a quick bite for lunch and are headed east of town stop by and grab lunch or dinner. They have great options for a food truck! I've had the fish tacos (amazing) and the quesadilla as well. So good and it comes out quickly! Watch out for panhandlers around the gas station. They are so annoying! read more

Delicious authentic Mexican food. I got the nachos with chicken and was very pleased. My lady got steak tacos and she raved over them. Best Mexican food we've had since we lived in Texas! read more

"Steak" tacos are actually just ground beef. Would have ordered shrimp had I known but their menu clearly says steak, and the counter girl told me yes, carne asada, it's steak. Chicken tacos were super dry too. No flavor, just shredded chicken and no seasoning. For the $25 I spent, I could have just gotten Taco Bell and had a better lunch. read more

I went to the Taco Morro Loco food truck in Avondale. This is by far one of the best taco trucks in Birmingham! I ordered three tacos of carne asada. There were tables covered under a tent next to the truck so people could order and eat there if they'd like to. My order didn't take long and the tacos were great. The staff in the truck are always friendly and helpful. I didn't notice any COVID protocols, but the staff were wearing gloves. The spot the truck is at is always clean and has lots of sunshine, so I enjoy the ambiance whenever I go. I didn't know Taco Morro Loco also has a restaurant location, so I will definitely check it out and hope it's as good as the taco truck! read more

It was a Saturday night out in and about in Lakeview filled with drinks, fun and celebration. As we raised a glass to my partner's 34th trip around the sun, I only had one thing on my mind. Tacos. Lucky for me there's a convenient taco spot in the heart of Lakeview. We popped in around 9:30 that night. It's a simple spot, attached to a gas station with plenty of seating and Mexican fare. We were seated promptly (we were the only ones there) and put in our orders. I went with an order of nachos w/ steak and a cheese dip while my partner had two lingua tacos and a guac. We received our guac maybe five minutes after. It was okay. Not bad, but nothing really special. . And so we waited. And waited. And ran out of water and chips. And still waited. Did I mention the chips were stale? I ended up having to walk up to the counter to ask the waitress for our food, more water, and chips that weren't stale. When I did finally get my foos, my opinion of the place was pretty soured. The nachos were okay but once again, nothing great. I'm just not a fan. read more

Dude, it just doesn't get better than this. Whether you're in the mood for a burrito, a big taco, or a great vibe, this is the spot.

I went out to lunch with some friends and didn't have a specific location in mind. We opted to head to Avondale due to the many great options. We parked on the street and was heading to one of my go-to spots. As we were walking past Taco Morro Loco (Crazy Snout/Muzzle Taco?) we decided to give this place a try instead. I'm glad we did. First, I have never tasted a salsa like theirs before. It was amazing! I believe they roast all their ingredients, giving it a smokey flavor. I can't begin to tell you how much I love their salsa. As I was perusing the menu, I debated on several of the items. Their street tacos looked amazing but I opted for a Torta instead. My friends both opted for tacos (chicken, steak, and shrimp). When our food came out it all looked absolutely amazing! The Torta I ordered was loaded with lots of items (in my opinion too much). It wasn't my favorite menu item I've ordered from a Mexican restaurant, but it definitely wasn't the worst either. My friends raved about their tacos and they said they would order them again. I think I'll have to go back and give them a try, too. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I asked a ton of questions and she was happy to answer as best she could. The seating is rather sparse and not fancy, but everything seemed clean. I'll be back sometime for sure! Happy dining. read more

Came here on a weeknight and they weren't very busy. We were quickly seated and the service was great. It's attached to a gas station, but don't let that deter you because it's a solid Mexican restaurant. They don't have alcohol which is one drawback. I've been there several times and their salsa is some of the best I've had, but I think they recently changed the recipe and it's not as good as it used to be. We started with Jalapeño Loco Cheese. The Jalapeños were filled with queso and served with a side of their cheese dip. They were very good, spicy, and fresh. I got the Chimichanga with steak and it was great! Every aspect of the dish went together. Overall a great place to get authentic Mexican food. read more

If you think all Mexican is the same (like I did) try this place. The food is fantastic. Very fairly priced and the staff is really nice. We have become regulars! read more

Their food truck stopped by while at a trivia night. We took a break and went and ordered. I enjoyed the food, but was a little disappointed that my order was wrong. I had asked for no onions, but my food was covered in them. I think they might have put extra on it as punishment for asking for them to be withheld! The fries were plentiful and good, but nothing special. I'd get food here again, but would definitely make sure the order was right next time. read more

I have lived in Avondale for more than a year and have never been here til now! We were looking for dinner somewhere before my big test and decided to try somewhere new. They're located near Munchies and for some reason, they STILL don't have their liquor license. This was very disheartening. The salsa was good and had a smokey flavor to it. The queso wasn't my favorite. It was a little thick for my liking. I ordered a quesadilla and my bf ordered a chicken enchilada. The quesadilla was good and the beans and rice were even better. I was impressed when I asked the waitress about their vegetarian options and whether the beans and rice were veggie friendly and she knew exactly if they were or weren't. The bf thought his enchilada was okay, but he was upset with the pile of lettuce on top (idk how I'm dating someone who doesn't like lettuce). Overall, was impressed by my waitress and their sides. Might return for a to-go order. read more

i got the steak fajitas and they are as steak fajitas should be. although you don't get your usual sides of rice and all. it wasn't a long wait either and staff was friendly too. will be back! read more

I checked in and immediately checked out. I love their taco truck but the physical restaurant at least when I visited wrecked of urine smell, the tables were not cleaned and it took forever for the waiter to come out. I didn't not really like the look and feel of the inside dining area at all, it looked as if it was thrown together or maybe hit by a tornado! Even through it all, I still love their taco truck, best tacos ever. read more

I'd tried the restaurant once before and gotten shrimp fajitas. Those were phenomenal. You also get the standard chips and salsa at your table each time, which were great the first time. The last time I visited, however, the chips seemed stale. Moreover, a friend and I who both had shrimp tacos on a Friday night, were both down with food poisoning by the end of the night/next morning. The staff is friendly, and service was quick both times I went. But I would not recommend the shrimp tacos. read more

I first tried Taco Morro Loco at the Magic City Chocolate Challenge. Their Tres Leche cake was amazing and received my vote for best dessert. I thought they only had a brick and mortar building, but low and beyond I was at Cahaba Brewery one night and Taco Morro had a pop up. They offered chips and salsa and tacos. I ordered two chicken tacos that were really good. If you are a fan of hot sauce, their side salsa was extremely hot. In fact it was so hot, I couldn't eat. I'm looking forward to visiting their restaurant. read more

This place is such a hidden gem! It's a tiny little place and honestly, it's a little easy to miss, but I'm so glad we found it. I ordered 3 Tacos Campechanos and my friend ordered the Torta Cubana which was the size of her head. Lol the tacos were delicious and packed with meat. My friends torta also looked delicious, she was only able to eat half because it was so big, so she had plenty to take home. We both had some agua de horchata which went perfectly with our food. The service was also phenomenal, everyone was very nice, we were seated and served very fast. I cannot wait to go back and try all the tacos. read more

Always great and fresh authentic mexican food. Their house salsa is one of the best in town. Excellent service as well.

Taco Morro Loco is one of the few establishments in Avondale that we had not visited, until recently. We've heard rave reviews of this taqueria for months. Food: A- Service: B Atmosphere: C Overall: B+ We started with the guacamole; it was fantastic! Large chunks of avocado combined with pico de gallo, served with thin and crunchy tortilla chips. The salsa was also very good, with a unique, smoky flavor. We weren't super hungry (especially after all that guacamole), so we just had an assortment of tacos for our dinner. I tried the asada and chorizo; both were solid, although neither was very flavorful. The sauce served alongside was a must. Honestly, I've had better tacos at other local taquerias. The ingredients were of a good quality, but the lack of flavor took away from the experience. Overall: the atmosphere is somewhat dingy, the food is decent and the service is quite slow. I do highly recommend the guacamole and salsa! read more

Excellent food. Maybe the best I've had in Alabama. Prices are great and the atmosphere is very friendly. Recommend 10/10!

Loved the tacos and fries! We went to the location by the chevron and sat at the picnic tables in the back, very peaceful area read more

Food was delicious! Everything was flavorful and cooked to perfection. I had a beef Chimichanga, and a fish taco, my friends had the chicken chilaquiles and Tinga Tostadas. We shared a side of guac (more plain than some, but still delicious), and each had a lime margarita (they were really good!) I wish I had thought to snap some pictures. read more

Just amazing food. The chicken flautas, the nachos chilli, the chilaquiles. All amazing. I have totally changed my mind on this one!

Best tacos I've ever eaten, without exaggeration. Visited the morro loco food truck. Pastor and carnitas were absolutely fantastic. Service was great. Can't say enough good things. read more

This is probably one of my favorite places to get tacos in Birmingham! The food is authentic, delicious, and definitely priced well. The waitress recommended the al pastor taco and I got a chicken and a shrimp taco as well! The al pastor taco was definitely my favorite. The pork was seasoned well and the pineapple was fresh. The flavors melded together very well and I was surprised by how much I liked it. The chicken taco and the shrimp tacos were amazing as well, but I would definitely say that the al pastor taco is my favorite! read more

We tried this place for cinco de Mayo and it was disappointing. No specials for the holiday. The street tacos were very pricey, had no flavor, and were SO greasy that our stomach were in pain for hours after the meal. We got the guacamole and it was overpriced ($8) and had zero flavor at all. It came with "pico de gallo" and garlic but there was no garlic flavor and the pico was like frozen. Somehow 3 tacos each, 2 margs, and guac came out to be like $70. Not worth it at all. Won't be going back. read more

This place is the bomb.com! I had my first experience here after magic city brew fest this year. They were busy but not to packed which was nice. Upon being seated you are served chips and salsa. The salsa is fabulous, full of cilantro and onion which is my favorite. They unfortunately do not serve alcohol which is kind of a disappointment because I love some margaritas. I ordered tacos, one vegetarian, one with chorizo. I am a meat lover, so I was surprised to find that I actually liked the veggie one better, but it was full of so much flavor and fresh veggies. Do not be put off by the fact that it is connected to a gas station because this place is legit. You will not be disappointed. read more

Rain prevented us from dining at The Hot Box, so we ducked into Morro Loco. What a pleasant surprise. It's a bit quirky. Friday night, no one was dining in, but there were 4-5 people getting takeout. A group from Northwestern University came in after the NCAA track meet. We chatted. They seemed to enjoy the food as much as we did. This place doesn't have a liquor license, but they encourage bringing in beverages from the convenience store next door. No problem. We started with "melted cheese" (funny name). It was delicious. We had steak tacos and fajitas. The tacos were good. The fajitas were fantastic. I'm fortunate to travel the country and experience food from all corners. These fajitas were some of the best I've ever had, and I'm currently doing work in El Paso. BYOB and enjoy. The food is terrific. read more

Literally the best tacos in Bham. The carnitas are INCREDIBLE. The chilaquiles were soooooo goood!!

The quality is just as satisfying at the food truck location as it is dine-in in Avondale. I have gotten the veggie tacos every time and they never disappoint! The burritos are really huge, and the pricing is so fair. read more

I wanted to try Taco Morro Loco and taste authentic Mexican food since everybody is recommending it. First, I sat on a table that had dirty smudges. The atmosphere was very dry , no music, no mariachi , not even the radio. I ordered 2 carne asada tacos and my surprise was that they were bland.I had to put 2 small cups of salsa to give it flavor . Not coming back, it's not close to Mexican and didn't do it for me. read more

Delicious and authentic tasting food. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is service, however, like everywhere they are understaffed.

Terrible and I'll stick to the Mexican spots in Atlanta instead! I didn't care for the food nor the drinks.

Really good experience with Taco Morro Loco. For starters, the person working the register was so friendly, asking about my day while I waited for my food. The cheese dip is DIVINE, it is so hard to save room for an entree. I always order steak tacos and they make really great ones here :) would highly recommend this business! Great service and great food!! read more

This place has potential to be really good. The food was great. My chorizo quesadilla plate with rice and beans was good. Was it any spectacular, nope. We also had an al pastor torta. It was fatty and there was no avocado on the sandwich. It was just meat and bread. My sister had two tacos, one fish and the other chicken. The fish was cooked perfectly, nicely fried and crunchy. The corn tortillas are nice and homemade. The place is just over priced. $3.00 for a taco seems kinda high. The torta was $9.00 and the fries it came with were delicious and hand cut. I asked about the soup on the menu and they said they were still testing. read more

They have really tasty food and that's why I gave it 2 stars, but when we got there they sat us, it was dead silent the whole time with no other customers. Our server didn't know any answers to our questions and didn't bother trying to find them out. We also didn't know you had to pay at the front since we had a server and she didn't ever tell us so we were waiting there for our bill. The restrooms were disgusting as well! There wasn't even a toilet seat in the girls restroom ?? Good food but everything else was horrible. Never coming back read more

Just came by to grab a couple of quick tacos with my hubby before hitting up some breweries. It is a perfect quick stop or a place to stay and munch of chips! Their chips and salsa came out super quick and they were delicious-- on the thinner side and perfectly salted. Their salsa was also a bit smoky which was nice and made me want to keep eating. I ordered the asado and the pastor-- both were delicious. I do their their onion/lime mixture would have benefited from some jalepeno and salt to really pull everything together. My other half got the chicken and the carnita which were both OK. The chicken was VERY dry which is why I took off a star. The pastor was good but lacked a little flavor. All of the tacos were filled generously and the tortillas were tender and delicious! Will be back to try other menu items - check it out! read more

Reaaalllyyy good tacos. I feel like a taco snob moving here from San Diego. This definitely is up there with authentic street tacos. Very impressed. Also was happy with the option of veggie tacos which were delicious. Also very friendly staff. Glad I found this place! read more
