El Taco Loco

This place has the best carne asada street tacos, and both their green and red salsas are awesome! Burritos are good too. The staff are polite, and it's open all the time.

The original OG! IYKYK! I hate to write this review because they use to have the best tacos and burritos for cheaper. I get it inflation!! But there are other places and they don't charge as high as they do for a taco and a burrito. I also want to mention that if they want to charge as much as they do make sure to add more meat than rice in the burritos and drain the grease off the tortillas before making them! The service has always been rude, but you can overlook that with good food, not now!

Let's start off by saying they do not have a taco Tuesday special. We ordered two combo number 1's and it was over $40. The food was good but I feel like it is over priced. The guacamole was not guacamole it was more like and an avocado sauce. They charged an extra $2 for the guacamole/ avocado sauce. The best part of our meal was the beans, they were very flavorful. The service was ok nothing spectacular, no smiles and no greeting. The ambiance was very sterile feeling. I appreciate them adding the poinsettias to add some color. Over all I can say I have had way better tacos. Feel free to try your self but I will not be returning.

Yikes...2.4 stars!?! That's as bad as it could get, but that wasn't my experience. I stopped in on the way elsewhere and decided to try some tacos. I had asada and pastor tacos and was happy with my meal. The asada was kinda crunchy, and did seem kinda low quality. Gristle throughout, making it hard to enjoy. Flavor was pretty good, but I probably wouldn't order again (hence rated it a 2.4 star taco), Pastor on the other hand was AMAZING...Pastor was great quality, exacting pastor flavors and soft perfectly sauced tacos. Would order that taco again and again. (hence rated it a 5 star taco). So I would have to say I'd steer clear on the asada, but DON'T miss those pastor tacos. I will try again and update in the future if better. I always give more chances after re-evaluation...Just used the drive through, but the person serving me was courteous and very understanding with my order. Perfect service, thank you!!Building from the outside seemed clean and well kept up, but unable to see inside. A little worried about this establishment as there wasn't anyone else in the store but the workers!I'll be back, thanks! Will also try the taco truck itself!

I was honestly afraid to try somewhere with such a low Yelp rating. Mega red flag alert. But I have to say that it wasn't terrible and I'm not sure the low ranking is truly deserved.We ordered a plethora of street tacos and complicated things by having all sorts of requests (no cilantro on some, no onions and cilantro on other, cotija on some- you get the picture). They got everything correct and everything was separately packaged. Score!The carne asada is the way to go. It's cooked in small pieces so they have a nice crisp to them! I would steer away from the al pastor. It was like soup. I got it on my sope but it turned into a big mess and wasn't worth salvaging. Overall, I thought the inside of this place looked clean! Minus a few funny characters that stumbled in while we were there, the inside was well kept and put together.

We had just finished our workout at In-Shape and needed a bite to eat before going grocery shopping. ( Never go shopping hungry). Taco Loco looked like a good place to get a quick meal. They have a patio and it was the perfect day for sitting outside. We ordered the 3 taco combo with the pastor meat. It comes with rice and beans and lettuce and tomato with a dollop of avocado. A drink was also included. The food came quickly. The flavor was surprising for fast food. The beans were nicely spiced. The tacos were a little oily, but the flavor was great. The restaurant was clean and tidy. The patio had an umbrella for shade. My only complaints are minor. First, the utensils. The plastic fork was tiny and really cheap. The food was too good to deserve this. Second, the price. $17 seemed a bit high. I know everything is more expressive, and maybe it was just the cheap silverware and plate, but it did detract from the experience.

Taco Loco is pretty consistent and fire. The food is delicious and not too greasy. The torta bread does get a little soggy, but the rest of the food is delicious. The service is good. It's nice having a good Mexican restaurant with a drive thru, hands down my favorite spot for that reason.

First things first... I haven't went to this specific restaurant in over 10 years. Back when they were amazing. Today I got an asada burrito with everything. The first few bites were not as I wish a $16 dollar burrito to taste. Ok, I know why would I agree to pay for that when I don't get a drink. I wanted to give them a try after all these years, to say I was disappointed would be an understatement. The only good part on my burrito was the last bite where Im assuming all the sauce was drenched. Rice was a bit hard in some parts of the burrito. The asada was a bit crunchy and hard to bite through. The service was good, could be a bit better if we're paying for such an expensive burrito. Maybe a little more interaction. Not talking to each other causing for the person who's preparing the order to mess up. Maybe train the trainer needs to be a driver in this restaurant. When it comes to preparation and service. Making it right the first time won't have other tickets take longer than they're supposed to. The restaurant looks the same as 10+ years ago. Nothing changed no upgrades that would want me to sit in there besides a 32 inch TV maybe. I'm closing, $16 dollar burritos need to be fresh. Meals are in there are hitting $20 for taco combos . Which is absurd, and don't make sense. This is not the best place to get burrito. There are place within proximity to this restaurant. Like on the corner of District and Stine. That deserves our time of day. A lot of restaurants like this one have only got worse and ridding into the sunset off their name. They may have been good at one point, but not anymore.

Haven't eaten here in a while, mainly because the place was always too busy. Especially the drive thru. Went Tuesday nite, no one inside, no cars in the driveway. I know why now: carne asada burrito and 2 street tacos, $22! Food was good, but for me, it's always the extreme rudeness. NEVER a simple, genuine "thank you". Done with them, rather go someplace that I feel appreciates my business.

$15 burritos!!!!!!! The most overpriced burritos in Bakersfield. At one time it was popular and affordable, but it seems like they're trying to make up for lost money. Save the money and save the calories. Just go somewhere else.
