El Toro Loco — Restaurant in Bellingham

Honestly. The services and the vibe of the place isn’t bad. But honestly. I bought this food for my family and we are all Hispanic, we were all pretty excited to have something close by us that was Mexican made. Sadly the food was mediocre, lost of flavor in all aspects. Not only was the beef tasteless, it was pretty dry. The consumé might be made different from another area of Mexico or some other region all together but it just had the hint of being authentic birria but it was mostly like drinking water. I have never had a salsa verde that tasted and was just as thick as jello; the salsa roja wasn’t spicy or anything just didn’t taste like much. Honestly wouldn’t recommend this place aside the expense. You want some good birria then you should check out Chispita de Savor in Ferndale or Tacos La Guelaguetza taco truck just a little ways down the street from...

Birria Tacos are really good, definitely recommend! Easily accessible spot just off Samish way! Very tasty food. Second Visit: my family and I took advantage of the beautiful weather and decided to re-visit El Toro Loco on Samish Way at the Urban Market. Although it had been a while since our last visit, the quality of the food remains amazing. We ordered the Quesabirria Taco combo and Asada Tacos. The Birria was juicy, perfectly seasoned, and beautifully garnished on a nice tortilla. The Asada Taco was phenomenal, featuring well-seasoned meat and a crispy tortilla. Our combo came with a choice of either beans and rice or chips and guacamole; we opted for the chips and guac.

This place is phenomenal, and I highly recommend it. El Toro Loco is located at 200 36th St in Bellingham, at the Samish Urban Market. Go support this awesome local...

I had the pastor burrito and it was huge. The pastor is the reason for a 4 star and not a 5. It has very little flavor and not what I would expect for pastor. Very little seasoning, not red, not greasy, and no char . I would like to try a different meat because I thought it could be a lot better with different meat. My son ate birria tacos and that was good. The meat was very tender and flavorful.

Staff was very nice and friendly. Food was quick.

The thing that blew my mind was the horchata. She handed it to me and it was a deep purple and I was very confused. Evidently it was Ube Horchata which I have never had. That said it was delicious and one of my favorite in Bellingham. It was very deep tasting and creamy. I would go back just for that and I probably will.

I definitely want to go back and try the asada. I really hope they work...
