    Al pastor quesadilla
    Tania M.

    Yum!!! We came in on a Saturday night. Even though they were busy, we were welcomed right away and shortly after sat. Almost immediately our party of four got two bowls of chips and delicious salsa. We ordered a bowl of their guacamole especial. Amazing! We devoured it. Our server was very friendly. We all loved our entree orders. I got the Al Pastor Quesadilla. So so so good! We learned after eating that there are two separate entrances to the restaurant- one more quiet for conversations and families. What a great idea. They have a full bar and offer seasonal spirits. We will definitely be back.

    Creamy homemade guacamole!

    The Taco Loco Authentic Mexican food in the heart of downtown Asheboro. We visited The Taco Loco recently and sampled several of their dishes. The vegetarian-style burrito with cheese sauce on top was superb! Chicken tacos with grilled onions - they have some of the best Tacos in the Triad! You can get them vegetarian style too. Chips and the creamiest guacamole. Yum. Churros filled with caramel and topped with ice cream! I want to go back there just thinking about it! Good iced tea. The staff outdid themselves in service! Indoor and outdoor seating in this quaint and vibrant establishment! This is a popular place with the locals and it will be with you too once you taste their delicious food!

    This place was recommended by a friend who had previously eaten here. We arrived as a party of 6 and were promptly seated. Our server quickly came to take our drink and food orders. There were plenty of complimentary chips and salsa to enjoy while we waited for our orders. The restaurant is clean and nicely decorated. There were remnants of Valentine's Day decor. Our food was served promptly. Everything tasted hot and fresh. The portion sizes are generous and the prices are very reasonable. I would definitely return again! Pro-tip: Be aware that the restaurant is divided into two separate dining areas that are literally around the corner from each other. If you are meeting people, make sure you go to the right one!

    The so called "large cheese dip"

    I ordered food today and they told me it would be 15min wait I was okay with that but then upon arrival they told me they never placed it so I had to wait extra 20 mins for my food. I checked my order and I saw a salad cup portion of cheese dip as I ordered a large cheese dip paying $5 for it. I went back and told them my situation they said "we handeo it out wrong" when they originally told it was never placed so which one was it? I asked if I can get another cup of cheese dip since they admitted to me twice it was their fault and they said "no you still have to pay" I'm not a happy customer, customer service was not at all there if I could I would rate zero stars.

    Great tacos and guac! My favorite was the lengua taco. Very tender and seasoned well. They have some outdoor patio seating too, which was lovely on summer nights.

    Taco loco never misses! Whether you're grabbing nachos to go for lunch or hitting the cantina for a night out, the drinks and food always hit the spot. They have the best fun cocktails! For some reason, I always expect the service to be subpar since it gets busy and loud but they exceed expectations every time. This spot is a huge asset to asheboro!

    Salsa, Guacamole Especial and Corn Chips
    Tauna S.

    I have to be impressed to leave a 5 star review and the fact that my husband was also impressed, commenting that The Taco Loco food and service puts our favorite Mexican restaurant to shame...well this is a hidden gem!! The ambiance with hispanic music and the decor made us feel like we were on an adventure across the boarder. Yessy was our tour guide through the menu and experience serving food and beverages as well as advice with a warm smile and wonderful attitude. The salsa tasted like it had roasted tomatoes and the Guacamole Especial was perfectly flavored. The chips weee delivered to us warm and crisp. We split the ACP Loco and a Mahi Mahi Taco. I wish I would have gotten my own! Hard to share food this good but then again you have to share food this good!! The tortillas served with the ACP were hands down the best we've had. We are looking forward to another trip where we can check out the ambiance in the cantina. My husband usually does not get dessert but he decided to try the Pastel tres leches. Thoroughly yummy!

    I'm so glad I found this spot for lunch while in Asheboro! It's the best Mexican food I've had since experiencing Mexican food in Texas. It's quite small, but they get things done! It's gets extremely busy at lunch. There are 3 two-seater tables on the sidewalk. Our party of 3 has to wait about 10min a a table. If you have more than 4 people it would be quite a wait. There's only about 6 tables large enough for 4. The rest are for 2. The "guacamole especial" is like table-side guacamole. It's chunky and delicious!! The chips are light, fresh, and crispy; just need a little salt. Their homemade corn tortillas are light and soft. DELICIOUS!! (And I'm not one who normally eats corn tortilla tacos) The shrimp are plump and the chicken....wow! The chicken is already cut into smaller bite-sized pieces & seasoned perfectly. I will be driving 25 minutes to eat here again soon!!

We started with the spinach dip and everyone loved it. It came with these toasted bread bites that had a great seasoning and crunch to them. They kind of reminded me of an everything bagel but as a bread bite. This paired really nicely with the hot spinach dip. They also have a ton of coffee and tea options. I was a little bummed that did not have fountain sodas. My sister got a smoothie and really liked it. For my entree I got the Italian flatbread. It was a really nice combination of flavors with the sausage and peppers. I sampled my boyfriend's flatbread (pickled) and thought it was great as well! They have a large variety of options, perfect for a group like my family with different tastes. Everyone enjoyed it and agreed we'd have to come back when in the area!

After sitting down, they always brought me my coffee, no complaints. But this morning, the manager told me my dog was not allowed there, and that dogs had never been allowed there, not in the 4 yrs she'd been manager. HUH?? Why was she lying to me? Why didn't she just admit that she was making a change in their long-standing policy of allowing dogs there? Just the week before, I had come there with my dog and found the green chairs occupied. When I asked the employee if there was another place inside where dogs were allowed, she said no. She did NOT say that dogs weren't allowed there anyway. Good-bye Brewskie's. Good-bye to a manager who feels no shame for lying to customers.
