Taqueria El Taco Loco 8

The interior of this place was spacious. The big screen TV felt like they could afford to hold a fight night there, lol. Service was friendly. There were a ton of food options. I ordered the Birria quesadilla and my fiancé ordered the Al Diablo Shrimp Burrito (ADSB).The ADSB was delicious and worth the price. The Birria Quesadilla should have included chips and salsa. It was only 3 taco sized portions with a side of consome and a slice of lime. In regards to the flavor of the Birria Quesadilla, it was delicious, but something I wouldn't order again. Overall, my experience was a great one. I would go back again to try something new.

The food looks amazing in the picturea but flavor is a total miss.Birria tacos, small, stale tortillas, too much cinnamos in the consomme, stingy w cheeseAsada fries, the fries qeren't even fried well, very flappy and not crispy at all. Asada was all dry and teeny tiny pieces, flavorless, didnt come w jalapeñosCabeza tacos, food amount od meat but had no flavor whatsoever. I had to ask for salt and peper.Tripas tacos. It's ok, has flavor at least, good amount of meat. Salsa very bland.Overall a disappointment because the pictures look amazing here!

Thursday 12/26/24Ordered a ground beef burrito no rice no beans got the opposite,Took it back twice and just handed it back to me. What part don't you understand!!!

I grew up in North East LA, & it's predominantly mexican & there are a lot of amazing authentic Mama & Papa Mexican food spots. I live in Compton now, & I have been looking for a spot that I can regularly go to that has good authentic mexican food. I pulled up the Yelp app, & was recommended this spot...Let me tell you. I have been going like 3 times a week for the breakfast burrito. Bacon & Egg, No Rice, & extra beans... The beans are fire, the salsa is fresh, everything is homemade as if your Tia or Abuela made it. The service is amazing, they speak Spanish too. They might have trouble interpreting your order if you speak english, but they'll get someone else to tend to you. The vibes remind me if im back home in El Sereno eating at the local restaurant. Good Job! Definitely recommend to anyone

Very mom and pop. Food is good and they open early. Staff is friendly. Small and cozy.

Cold pozole. Uncooked corn and tasted like it was done in chunks and not simmered all together. No oregano or other items offered either. Disappointed.

I really tried but I have given up! I placed a order yesterday and the girl repeated it and I said no not carnitas and repeated what I wanted and she says ya that's what I have written and then said please no sour cream, well the order was wrong, again. It sucks because the food it good just can't get the orders right

The tacos here are absolutely incredible! The flavors burst with every bite, and the salsas are perfection. Don't miss the carne asada; it's tender and cooked just right. The service is always friendly, making it a great spot for takeout. I keep coming back! Highly recommend it!

Second time coming here. It was so good the first time, I had to bring a friend. I tried the Wet Burrito, Birria Tacos, Diablo Shimp, and the Birria Plate, all 10/10. It is on the spicy side but ask and they will cool it down a bit.Service 10/10! While waiting I got a free enchilada... just cus the chef saw me waiting. Again 10/10! If you are around, I highly recommend this place.

Spent $21and some change for some carnitas tacos and asada tacos. Carnitas was just pure fat and no meat but it must of been dipped into fat as well because once I took out the fat all I had left was the tortilla full of grease ‍ the asada taco was pretty much the same but at lease there was a tiny bit of meat. Welp I learned my lesson and will not return.
