    Hawaiian chicken tacos
    Emery M.

    Taco loco is a great spot for good Mexican food in the heart of Asheboro. Small location, with decent seating and a bar. The service is always good. We've tried several items and have never been disappointed.

    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!

    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.

    Salad with Shrimp

    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!

    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!

    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.

    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!

He said it had the perfect amount of heat with great flavor. I really enjoyed the grilled chicken burrito and their rice. Their chips were soooo good too! They were super thin and crispy. This place has something for everyone. Our server was a super nice young man. The restaurant is right on a train track and looks like it could have originally been a train station. We discussed this with the server but he wasn't sure. I'd definitely recommend checking this place out and I'm sorry I was too tired and hungry to take pictures of the inside and outside of the restaurant.

    I was really looking forward to trying out this local Mexican restaurant. I have been making the…read morerounds and trying my best to check them all out because I love eating Mexican typically once a week but I haven't found one around here that's my absolute favorite and looks like this one is not it either. It was probably the biggest let down so far. I ordered a Big Taco to go and was surprised to see a 2$ upcharge for taking it to go. Don't they know this discourages people from ordering to go? This isn't a new concept to me so not a complete surprise but I was incredibly surprised by the way it was packaged. It was in an aluminum tin with foil partially covering my meal. So by the time it got to its designation it was leaking white liquid out of the bag. Kind of embarrassing to me. So I paid 2$ for subpar packaging? The taco itself was fine but not memorable. What was most telling about my meal was the completely inedible tortilla chips. They tasted like chemicals, which to me is a sign that the deep frier oil is bad (at least I hope that's what is wrong). I had a few other people try a chip and they all confirmed they were gross. No one took a second bite. If the oil is not being changed properly to the point you can taste it, and they don't care about properly packaging food, who knows what other gross things are happening in the their kitchen. I cannot chalk this up to a fluke and therefore will not be taking any chances by trying them again.
