The service was great. The food was amazing and brought out at a timely manner. Bar drinks were delicious and not too heavy poured! Would absolutely come again. Only downside was the flies that wanted a taste from the open doors. No fault of the restaurant though! read more

Taco Loco has the best tacos in town of the places I have tried so far since moving to the area. I get the Lingua and Al Pastor tacos with cilantro and onions, chips, salsa and guacamole. Their sauces are great and so is the guacamole. I add salt to the chips to give them more flavor. I'm a repeat customer and until I find better, will keep coming back. read more

The Taco Loco - Al Pastor taco and 2 Lingua tacos - Mexican Near Me - Asheboro, North Carolina

We visited from Raleigh, These tacos are not bad for North Carolina. The tortillas are handmade but for 3$ a taco, the amount of meat is small. Service is good, ambiance is cute! We would come back if they gave more meat. We just thought 30$ for two people for tacos is a lot. In California, two people can have a 6 tacos each for under 25$. You'll be full. Here, I was still very hungry but at least they give chips. Ask for all the fixings or else you'll waste even more of your money Lol We come from Southern California so we are used to very high quality Mexican food, this isn't bad, just not worth driving to it. If it was more than 20-30min away we wouldn't bother driving. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

The Taco Loco - The so called "large cheese dip" - Mexican Near Me - Asheboro, North Carolina

I do not often post five star reviews, but the food quality and fun atmosphere with excellent service earns the taco Loco Cantina five stars. We saw the Cantina as we walked by the night before on a beautiful evening with the garage doors on the side raised wide open. So we came back today for lunch and we're completely happy with the high food quality and freshness. The tacos al pastor and tacos camarones were the best I have had outside of Mexico. Well, done to the team! Great atmosphere! read more

We were welcomed and sat down straight away. Our waitress was kind and attentive. Our food was wonderful. I had the beef fajita and my husband had a burrito. Their agua fresca is lovely. Would definitely recommend. read more

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! read more

It's a small space. The food was tasty the staff was attentive and friendly. Food came out more quickly than expected.

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! read more

Stopped thru on the way to our beach vacation. Friday night, so a bit of a wait, but the manager (we think) was very accomodating and even let us drink a pitcher of margaritas outside on the tables while we waited. The salsa was sooo good (complimentary w chips) as was the queso w chorizo. I had the chicken fajitas and there was sooo much chicken! Honestly wished for more veggies, but it was hot and delicious! Husband ordered three tacos (Mahi Mahi, ribeye and chicken). The ribeye was his favorite. Service and food was fantastic! It's a small restaurant, but great food! read more

Food was awesome - came out quick and the flavors were great, very fresh! Service was okay. A lot of servers standing around and took a few minutes for someone to come over to us. read more

Not the greatest food or drink I've had but the staff were inviting and friendly. Seems like whether you have a burrito or the rice bowl with beef, chicken, and shrimp - it's the same ingredients just presented differently. The house margaritas are about $7. Salsa and chips to munch on. Clean establishment. read more

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! read more

Totally the place to get honest Mexican dishes. To start off as soon as we sat down the chips and salsa are awesome. Went with the aquachiles. Top notch fresh and full of flavor. The margaritas are solid. Have not yet ordered desert - been to full.... read more

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!! read more

Food was good, not excellent. Service is where they really fall down. We had been seated fifteen minutes when I flagged a server down to ask her to have our waitress come take our orders. When it finally started to arrive, The food all arrived separately, in drabs. When she brought the check, I told her my tip would have been much more generous had the service been more attentive. I not sure she understood. The tab was $43, which I thought was on the high side for two people, who ordered a bean burrito, a veggie taco, and a shrimp cocktail. I won't be back for a while. read more

The Taco Loco - My boyfriend took one of each flavor 10/10 - Mexican Near Me - Asheboro, North Carolina

We had a to go order. I pulled up to the counter. The lady asked me my name. I was looking at a bag of food sitting in the counter that I thought might be mine. The people that worked in the restaurant walked around for 20 minutes, ignoring me, then handed me the bag of food that was sitting right on the counter. So basically it took 20 minutes for someone to hand me my bag of food so I could pay them got the food home and it was cold of course read more

Been here quiet a few times! Food and service has always been good. We usually come with friends who are well known as regulars there. Tonight we came with out them and did not get the total treatment. In observing the two server people working very hard, one was amazing at checking in on all her customers, the other not so much. We got the other server. No checking on us, no refill of empty glasses, nothing! While the food was good, that service goes a long way. I hate to give this place anything but a 5 stars, but next time we go back we won't be sitting in the "other" server area. read more

The food is great. The two different sides give you a little of both worlds. Nice date night in the restaurant side, convenient pull-up to- go window, and the bar side gives you hangout, boys/ girls' night out vibes. This is my go-to spot whenever I'm back in the area. read more

The tacos I got were delicious but had to wait a long time for someone to take our order but once they did the food came out fast.

I had an opportunity to dine at this restaurant over the weekend with a date. She had recommended it, and had been there previously. Although the place had kind of a "hole in the wall" feel to it, I have to say, it was quite a nice surprise! Although the main dining room was a little claustrophobic for my taste (tables were a little bit too close together), we moved a few doors down to their Cantina, where it seemed to be a little more of a casual setting and open. We ordered cocktails to start and they were quite good. I also ordered the shrimp cocktail thinking that it was an appetizer when it was actually huge and big enough to have as an entrée. My date ordered their cevicheWhich they make to order, and just be forewarned, it's about 25 minutes to make it, and every single bite was as fresh as could be! The service is quite good as well, and a very nice atmosphere with moderate levels of noise and a nice combination of couples and families, and was quite a good dining experience for a "hole in the wall" Would highly recommend! read more

The food was underwhelming simply because the beef is not of good quality and you can barely taste it. Service was eh they are almost lazy and laidback. They have indoor seating but only a few tables and it's very tight. Most of their seating is outside which is fine on a cool day but awful on a cold or hot day. It's better to take out then. read more

YUUUUUUUM! ¡Me gusta! :) The Hawaiian and shrimp tacos were awesome! The steak taco and the mahi mahi taco were good, as well as the kids' quesadilla. The chips and salsa are great! The service was friendly and a good pace! The decor is cool, with graffiti art on the walls, in the cantina. The ambiance on the other side is nice, would be a lovely spot when we weren't in a hurry. read more

Stopped after a full day at the North Carolina Zoo. Small space but was very easy to get a table even though they were busy. Saw it more as a get in, eat, and get out kind of place. Started right off the bat with a Paloma and it was delicious! Was hoping for a little bit more grapefruit soda, but the amount of tequila made up for it! Our group downed chips, guac, queso, and salsa. All great! I kept it simple and order the 2 taco combo. Came with rice and beans. Fiance' had a quesadilla and the cheese was crazy! He said it was delicious so there was no need for alarm by the amount of cheese. Tacos were pretty small, but very flavorful. So hungry didn't even get a pic. Cleaned my plate and very quickly saw Tres Leches on the menu. Only thing I would change is the size of the slice! Overall good experience. Our server was nice and efficient. Would return! read more
