Loz TaKos- An Urban Taqueria — Restaurant in Coquitlam

Alas. I don’t deserve the free tacos.

It appears I need to get my glasses checked so next time I don’t miss out on Taco Tuesday. All I wanted was some tacos before my workout. Obviously I am lacking in good judgement but I JUST WANTED tacos. IYKYK

I looked at the regular board and asked about the tacos. 4 for $14 he said. Reasonable. So I ordered 4. While waiting for my tacos I noticed the other sign that said Taco Tuesday: 6 tacos for $14. When I asked, he said that I could have gotten 2 free tacos…if I could fit them in.

Alas, I must not have looked hungry. I was also sadly lacking in observation skills as I didn’t see that super sign deal in plain sight. Or maybe it was a different kind of Tuesday. Anyway, I was handed my 4 tacos and departed, stunned at my own lack of … time. I didn’t want to wait for them to cook more and, well, it wasn’t offered. Besides, the whole thing was my fault.

Alas.

*Also my order was wrong but at this point I probably deserved that. I’ll explore...

I've been to loz takos plenty of times. Usually they are somewhere in the middle not too awful but not great by any means. I got 6 tacos yesterday the tortillas were soggy. Not soft but soggy it was disgusting. I got 4 carnitas tacos 1 chicken and 1 Baja fish. I couldn't even taste the fish all I could taste was the grease from the fryer. When we asked for 2 of every sauce (which would be 6 sauces) we were laughed at. It's not my fault your sauces come in a container the size of a half thimble. The rest of the tacos were barely even filled with any meat. And last but not least the horchata tasted like old milk like the container isn't getting cleaned properly. All in all I don't think I will be returning. I highly recommend Si Senor on Shaughnessy in Poco. Or if you want to make the trip Lupitas in maple ridge is miiiiles better...

This place caught my eye just as I walked in the mall. After shopping and looking for lunch, I still gravitated towards it at the end.

Good thing I did! Because the staff, Fernando, was very kind. Before I even told him it's my first time there, he was very through in explaining the menu and inquiring what I wanted.

When I told him it was my first time at this restaurant, he gave me a mini tour of the menu. The best part is, he didn't recommend the expensive choices, but the authentic items.

He also recommended different varieties of meat (I couldn't understand the language so I just chose them all 😂).

We chatted about our home countries, and had small talk. I not only enjoyed our conversation, but the food. The tacos were so delicate, and very fresh.

100% I will be coming back! You...
