This restaurant is fantastic. The food is DELICIOUS, AUTHENTIC, and very affordable. It is by far my favorite Mexican restaurant in Bigfork, and will definitely be my go-to! The service was wonderful. The staff was super friendly, warm, and welcoming. We visited with the owner and he was very kind and warm. The food was awesome! I had the carne asada street tacos and a chile relleno, and they were excellent. They go out of their way to make sure you're taken care of. I highly HIGHLY recommend. Please ignore the excessively negative reviews about this place. They're just not true. Support this local GEM!!
Good foodThank you to Fransisco and his mom for making us feel welcome, ontop of the good meal we had a good conversation.They said the location is new, opened three weeks ago, it's fresh tasting mexican food, if you don't like flavor or salsa on your food just let the waitress know you don't want salsa they can easily leave it off your burrito/quesadilla/empanada ect
These guys really care about the quality and authenticity of their food and it shows. From the amazing homemade tortillas and salsa to the generous tequila tastings, this place is hard to leave once you sit down. These places are hard to come by these days and we can’t wait to go back.
I tried this place for the first time tonight, Ive lived here my whole life and never knew it existed! No clue how missed it!It is absolutely delicious! The service is above and beyond any service I've had in Montana in years. The atmosphere is upbeat and enjoyable while still being very low-key.The full bar is also a great addition. These people know what they are doing!!! A
We stumbled into this place for lunch while shopping in Bigfork and it’s a gem! Open on Sundays too (only closed on Wednesdays).Try the Shrimp Diablo plate in a delicious sauce and the best ever Chile Relleno plate (my wife agrees and she makes a delicious one but it is now the second best version we have ever eaten).Excellent hand cut guacamole (add a squeeze of lime), lighter but delicious house salsa served with chips. Margaritas are also very good.Excellent service too, and TVs to watch sports.Perhaps the best Mexican restaurant in the Flathead. Please ignore the couple of not so good reviews below and focus on the very good ones; try it, order what we ordered, see for yourself.
The BEST food! I will wait for however long it takes to for their verde sauce! Very welcoming atmosphere. If you have not eaten here, what are you waiting for???!!! LOVE THIS PLACE!!!
OK, so this may now be our go-to Mexican restaurant in Bigfork. We've tried other places in the area, and they range from 'fine' to just bad. We visited Taco Loco for the 1st time tonight we were very pleased. Food quality was a step above other places we've tried. I got the taco plate, and my partner got the enchiladas. Both were great. Prices were about the same as other restaurants, maybe a dollar or two more.
Had street tacos and margaritas tonight. It was a great experience/ambience. The staff were super friendly and enjoyable to talk to. The margaritas were delicious and the street tacos tasted exactly how I'd hope street tacos would taste! Looking forward to coming back
