Chips. The salsa was running liquid in a squirt bottle. They automatically bring this to you and then charge you for it.

I'd give 5 stars for food but cannot get to it. My husband and I love this place. But he's wheelchair bound and the front door has 3" sinkage so rolling him over is impossible for this old doll without some young buck to do some heavy listing. Then all seating is bar height. Summer patio would be good but there's a table you must unseat everyone to get past the gate.

Horrible! Nice staff but the food is not authentic Mexican. Feta cheese, a slab of steak meat on my steak tacos wth! The margarita is okay.

Amazing! My parents owned the house across the street from this restaurant for 40 years and when they first opened my parents went to eat there...my mom said she wasn't impressed. Since then and based on her assessment, I've not bothered to try it. Last night my friend and I were nearby and with every other restaurant in the area having long wait times we decided to stop here. I can't believe I never gave this place a fair chance, the food was delicious and the service was excellent! I was eyeing some of the dishes coming out of the kitchen while we were waiting to order, both the salad and taco plates looked very appetizing, but I opted for the larger burrito(El Burro Grande)I never eat the side of rice and beans so figured this would be a better option for me than the tacos. Everything tasted so fresh and the burrito was slightly grilled, which I love. The burrito was stuffed with black beans guac, carne asada, rice...maybe sour cream and pico? Anyway it was great and easily enough for two people, I ended up taking half home for my husband, he also agreed it was very good. My friend ordered the carne asada enchiladas and she said they were a bit dry but she enjoyed them. All in all it was a great dining experience. The place itself is very small and only offers bar seating, which could be a turnoff for some people and I probably wouldn't come here with a large group.

I've had Poco Loco bookmarked for years after seeing some of the unique meat options for their tacos, like lamb and duck. I stopped in on a Tuesday hoping for a "Taco Tuesday" special of some sort, but no luck with that. My order consisted of two chipotle BBQ duck tacos with rice and no beans, a steak taco, and a shrimp taco.The rice seemed to be a thinner grain than most other Mexican restaurants serve. It tasted fine, but was a little more hard than I prefer, though not inedibly so.The duck tacos tasted great, though they were messy. Not only could less chipotle BBQ sauce allow the duck breast to shine through a bit more, it would drip a lot less liquid everywhere. There was quite a bit of duck meat in the tacos which was appreciated.I wanted more than two tacos but was hesitant because the menu didn't list an ala carte price for tacos. I asked if they offered that, specifically regarding a shrimp taco, and was told yes for $6. Although a higher price than I would prefer to pay, I was assured that it was worth it because there was "a lot of shrimp in it". Seeing that the steak tacos cost less on the menu than the shrimp tacos, I added one of those as well under the assumption that it cost less that a shrimp taco.I thought the shrimp taco was the more disappointing one of the three I tried. It only had three shrimp in it, which is more skimpy than "a lot of shrimp". The steak taco, however, was fantastic. I was initially taken aback by the steak being an entire piece of steak instead of cut up into strips, but as I ate it it made sense. An entire piece was easier to hold on to and less likely to fall out of the tortilla, thus making it less messy. The marinade on the steak was subtle but amazing.The suggested tip on the bill annoyed me because it was generated based on the grand total instead of the subtotal. You shouldn't be asking patrons to tip on tax. I also really didn't like that they automatically brought me chips and salsa as soon as I sat down without asking and then charged me for it. It's only $1.50, but you should still ask if the customer wants it.

They offer margaritas to go and show price on menu BUT after you order they tack on 20%. In other words you pay 15.00 for a lime and 17.00 for a straberry. I would just think they would mention that when you order. Guess not. Lol

I used to love this place for a long time and this was the place that introduced and got me into skatewing. However, recently I feel like it has gone a little downhill over the past few times I have been there. Lately, I have had my burritos not even sealed (just a tortilla over the insides) and the meat not cut on multiple items, leaving just a large chunk in the taco or burrito. One of the final straws is charging a 15% service fee on carry out items AND also charging 50 cents per carry out item (which puts the "take out tip" at 20%). Then, on top of that, adding a tip line that incorporated the food items and the service fees into the cost. Not that I wouldn't give a 20% anyway, but having it mandated just rankles me for the principle. Overall, with the drop in quality and prices, it's hard to recommend against other competitors which have a similar offering like Bel Aire, Corazon, or heck even Taco Stop MKE now.

This was our first visit to any restaurant since March. We were grateful for the the respect and procedures they have in place, outdoor dining, masks, washing stations, etc. The service and the food were delicious. Stand outs for us were, of course, the BBQ Shrimp appetizer, the Grilled Tilapia Taco and the Steak Taco. Absolutely outstanding.

Higher quality food than your typical Mexican restaurant. The ingredients does not need make you feel bloated, sleepy. Everything is a few nothces higher even among the basics like the chips they serve. On Fridays and Weekends they have a smokes briquet that was better than most BBQ places you'll attend. The varieties of sauces were amazing. Very intimate setting, especially the outdoor seating. It's in a great location for walking around, connected to a trial and quite neighborhood.

Our dinner and drinks were excellent. Very authentic Mexican food.The staff were super friendly. I felt like they had already known us as past patrons and it was the first time we ate at the restaurant.It is a very small restaurant, but very quaint and comfortable. Just get there early as it fills up fast. I believe the restaurant limit holds approximately 99 people.We will definitely dine at this restaurant again!
