Loco Taco — Restaurant in Columbia

Overall, my experience here was alright. First of all, this place wasn’t not easy to find. I called ahead of the time to see if they were open (which should have been the first indicator that I was a new customer) and I was not told that the place was in the back corner of a hotel downtown. I parked, walked into the lobby of the hotel, and even had to ask the bartender where the place was. Now, this could all be an indication of a lack of intelligence in me, but I would have benefited from a sign on the hotel door or interior.

Once I found the small pocket of the hotel lobby that housed the tiny van that housed the restaurant, I stood at the counter for a few minutes until the cook yelled “¡hablale Huey!” to someone in the back who eventually came out and took my order. From here, everything was great! My order was taken and made quickly. Salsa was placed in the bag along with my Chorizo Burrito with beans and fries, and I made my way home. Kuddos to the bartender to gave me a cup of coffee while I waited for my order, because he sensed my frustration.

After my ten minute ride to work to eat my burrito, the tortilla and fries had turned soggy and it started to smell funky. There was absolutely nothing special about the way it tasted, which was disappointing given that it was the only burrito they had to offer. I’m going to say that this was because it was in the foam plate for over 10 min. Still, though, I was hoping for better since this was the only Mexican eatery close to me that was open before 11AM that offered a breakfast item wrapped in a tortilla! Better...

So i was driving by late Friday night and saw they had a open sign. . I was busy out driving... and needed some nourishment. So I doubled back and went in. I thought the set was different and cool. So they have a mini van as the store front.. which I liked. The guy was nice who took my order.. and helpful. The food was done in a pretty decent time. I was a little skeptical. Because I am not a huge Mexican food fan. Mainly picked up something for my wife. But hey. I was like I might as well grab myself something. So I grabbed a few soft tacos. . So when I actually had a chance to eat the food.. I was shocked it was as good as it was. My wife enjoyed her plate as well. So this was a nice alot.. especially for late night. It was about 1030 when I went to loco taco.. I definitely reccomend this spot. If you are a mexican food lover. I actually would go back to this spot.it was good. And thats coming from someone who doesn't really eat...

If you’re looking for a dessert that truly captures the essence of homemade richness, the flan at Loco Taco inside the Moxy Hotel is an absolute standout. This isn’t your average flan—it’s a silky, indulgent masterpiece with the perfect balance of creamy custard and deep caramel flavor.

From the first spoonful, you can tell it’s made with care. The texture is luxuriously smooth, with just the right amount of jiggle, and the caramel sauce adds a luscious, slightly bittersweet contrast that elevates every bite. It’s clear that this flan is crafted with high-quality ingredients and an authentic touch, making it feel like a comforting, home-style treat with a gourmet twist.

Whether you’re wrapping up a meal or just stopping by for something sweet, this flan is a must-try. Rich, velvety, and utterly satisfying—Loco Taco has truly perfected this...
