About
Traditional flavors Mexican food can bring. Our casa, an ex petrol station located in Mount Albert counts with 3 different areas. The entry is a covered open space with parking on the front (dog-friendly) wwhere every Saturday morning the local Mt.Albert Market takes place. The inside of our Cantina will transport you straight to the spirit of Mexico with its unique interior of festive decor and bold artworks. And, last but not least, the backyard, well-known for its playground area for kids mixed with a chill vibe for grown-ups to enjoy. A relaxing spot, great for families. Taco Loco menu covers a wide range of dietary essentials, including gluten-free, vegetarian, and vegans. Cocktails are on point with seasonal new flavors. Check our iconic Margarita, it's a win-win! We recommend making bookings before coming to secure you a place inside our little home. Nos vemos pronto amigos!

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Really great Mexican. The staff are quick and on a night where the kitchen was a bit over run they gave us a “thank you for understanding” plate of tasty nachos. We left content with bare plates. I’ll go again.

Being of Mexican American decent I often look for the taste of real homemade Mexican food. I found the perfect balance of intelligent thoughtful flavors with the authentic flavor build up I know as home.
I’m excited of this discovery and invite everyone to the REAL taste of Mexico. 🇲🇽🌮💀

Enjoyed the team, food and drinks here. We had 2 kids with us who were looked after very well. They loved the banana desert. We had deep fried halloumi and a variety of tacos, quesadita and burritos. All yummy. Tequila was good too and there are seats in the sun
Very accommodating and friendly team made us feel welcome.

If I could rate below 0 I would, the worse service and the cockroaches crawling around (yes multiple) didn't make the experience any better. Getting the wrong answers to questions and then finding out when the food comes and being laughed at is not okay. Clean your space get rid of the cockroaches, learn what customer service means and learn to make authentic Mexican food that doesn't have crap all over it without the taste!

We had vegan nachos ($26) and a glass of lemonade ($7) each. The lemonade was very watered down.The nachos were pretty bad. There were about 10 corn chips in total and they were all soggy because they were covered in the mixture. For the “protein” there were three small pieces of jackfruit. There was a small pile of tinned corn but no beans of any sort. There was way too much vegan cheese and the flavours were not well balanced- it was far too tangy and lacked any depth of flavour. We will definitely not be returning there or recommending it to anyone.

One of the best Mexican restaurants in Auckland that I’ve try. Great crew, food and great staff Luis and Fernanda were great hosts and make me feel very welcome. And the guys in the kitchen deliver a delicious food.
Congratulations to everyone!!!

Just incredible tasty fresh Mexican food.
We left over eating as the food is so fresh and tasty.
Ordered nachos - daughter melted with the cheese.
I ordered the burrito, stupendous. I ate too much as one can’t stop.

Great service, tasty generous mexican portions. Basic rustic Cantina style setting, the outdoor area is close to cars parked in the driveway which detracts a little. Good George beer on tap. 👍 It's not cheap Mexican food (particularly entrees) but overall a good experience, will come back.

A nice spot for an informal modern Mexican meal. Nice "post-industrial-distressed" decor with lots of colour and Mexican cultural cues, bubbly service and nice food. Fairly typical menu, but well executed. Will gladly go back.

Visited this cool little joint yesterday with a few friends.
Firstly couple of amazing tequila 's to kick the day off, then on to the guacamole which was great. I had the chicken quesidias which were delicious. Served by Mia ( I think) who was also awesome.
I be back real soon. Thank you.

Taco Loco always seems to be busy, and with good reason. It has a fun menu and is nicely decorated in distressed post-industrial Latin vibes. The service struggled to keep up with the volume, but the food came out almost immediately and was very tasty. Will keep coming back.

My family wanted to celebrate my birthday, so we went to taco loco, and I have never eaten a taco that were so good like this. The place is awesome and the attendance was great too.
