El Taco Loco

El Taco Loco is spacious and a good stop for the long roadtrips. They have the typical Mexican food options: taco, burrito, sopes, tortas. For the food: The tacos are good, but get salsa on the side otherwise they'll drench the tacos. I'd skip the blended frappucino drinks and stick with the classic agua frescas.

Do not stop here! This place sucks! We spent $30 for them to get my order wrong. I said to put the taco sauce to the side and they still had it on the tacos! And I ordered a quesadilla, and she heard that as nachos. I went back inside to tell them, and she gave me attitude! Even threw my food at the counter. Horrible! Teach your employees manners and better listening skills. Smh. The food isn't even good! You get better food at a taco stand!

Very friendly staff the food is very good I had the nachos loco and the portions are incredible I would come here with the family next time

What happened to the burrito?! They went from $10 to $15 and it's half the size. There so small

I'm posting this in hopes that protocols aren't being skipped. I got major food poisoning from this place. Off the bat it kind of sit different with me after eating the tacos, but the morning after was truly telling. Never felt so sick in my life. Idk if they used expired ingredients but consumers be ware.

Good place to stop for quick road side mexican. It's 24 hrs. They even do truck side delivery in parking lot. Quickly ordered from nice cashier. Quesadillas was nice sized with sour cream and avocado on side. I had tomato and onion inside. It was grilled perfect and hot. Probably next time less cheese. The burrito bowl carne asada. Nicely presented and tasty.

This is a very slick looking restaurant that looks like it's part of a much bigger chain, but they only have three locations in the Bakersfield area. The restaurant itself is large, with a drive thru and good pop music playing inside. I found the prices to be quite high for their meal combos. I got a bean and cheese burrito, which was whole pinto beans, not refried. The burrito itself was just okay. A decent size, but a bland taste. The Diet Coke from the fountain was VERY good. Makes me wonder if it was really diet. I'm glad I tried it, but not looking to come back here anytime soon.

I ate at a Taco Loco food truck in the 80's and have been driving by this location for years, which is right across from the Flying J truck stop. The location originally built as a fast food national franchise. Ordered a torta pastor sandwich, tasty pork, fresh slices of onion, tomato and avocado. The Jamaica was good and not too sweet. Would stop again. My visit was about 12:24 and place was 1/3 full with people coming in to pick up orders.

Now, where do I start? I will never eat at any of El taco Loco establishments. Nor will any of my family, no friends nor acquaintances I will make sure of that. I honestly feel robbed. I paid $19.76 for a chicken bowl more like a chicken plate because that is nowhere near a bowl. To start off I asked for extra chicken. I think they misunderstood it and took off some chicken. It is a shame that this establishment quote themselves the original fresh Mexican Grill. I am a truck driver who has eat at numerous locations. I am not gonna lie. I almost choked on that chicken. It was so dry. I had to take a sip of water just to swallow the chicken. I don't know how this has been family owned and operated since 1977. You won't allow me to give it zero stars. That is what this establishment deserves zero stars.

Chorizo and egg burrito was $15.70. I was expecting a much larger burrito for that price. It had barely any meat in it and it was poorly wrapped. It fell apart while trying to eat it. Never eating here again
