Tacos Locos — Restaurant in Pompano Beach

Hidden Gem Alert in Pembroke Pines! My husband and I visited this local spot on Friday, and I have to say, it truly surpassed our expectations. The food was nothing short of phenomenal, and the service was warm, fast, and incredibly attentive from start to finish. We started with the Tacos de Pato a los 3 Chiles, served on a soft corn tortilla. The duck was perfectly roasted and the flavors from the three-chile glaze, morita beans, and house habanero sauce made each bite burst with a delicious heat, balanced beautifully with fresh cilantro. Next up were the 3 Chiles – three crispy rolled corn tortillas stuffed with tender, shredded pork. The chipotle-mayo coleslaw on top added a creamy, smoky crunch, while the habanero sauce gave a delightful kick. It was so good that we both agreed it’s a must-have for our next visit! The star of the meal had to be the Award Winner Wet Burrito. The Mexican picadillo, bathed in the signature three-cheese “Salsa Wet” sauce, was absolute perfection. We couldn’t stop raving about how rich and flavorful it was. And for a final touch, we tried the picadillo mini nachos, which were to die for! The portion was perfect, and the flavors came together in a way that left us craving more. Overall, this hidden gem in Pembroke Pines won our hearts. The atmosphere was inviting, the staff service was amazing and fast, and the dishes showcased incredible depth and authenticity. We can’t wait...

Usually, the best food for different ethnicities comes from the mom and pop shops that are not chains. Because of this, I often seek out the hard to find and often unknown locations. This is how I found Taco Loco.

Smashed in between a Chinese and Cuban restaurant, you'll find a quaint location offering some bakery items and a taco stand in the back. Upon arrival, you'll find you might be at a loss for for where to go. Without a sign, it's unclear you're suppose to walk straight back to the counter. Once you're there, the menu is quite simple. Tacos, sopes, quesadillas, flautas, tostadas, and menudo.

Meats include carnitas, asada, pollo, camarones, tripa, al pastor, chorizo, and barbacoa. Once you place an order, just sit down. They provide table service. You can choose any drink in the coolers (but again, it's not clear). Once the arrived (which is made fresh to order and takes a minute), it was pretty good. I ordered 1 pollo taco, 1 asada taco and a camarones sopes with a side of rice & beans. Flavors were on point but the rice and beans left a lot to be desired. There was a lack of flavor and the rice seemed like the frozen variety.

Overall, it was an ok place with AMAZING prices (everything is $2). I'd visit again but it wouldn't be a top pick. They do offer breakfast though! I'd be willing...

I’m absolutely shocked! For someone whom holds Mexican Cuisine in high regard and adores authentic Mexican food this restaurant is a gem in Pompano! The food is aromatic, flavorful and indisputably delicious. You can tell the staff knows exactly what they’re doing, from the spices to the crisp cold sauces to the cuts of meats, portions are perfect even the limes are crisp, perfect acidity no bitterness, ripe and full of flavor! Carne Asada Tacos and El Pastor are my personal favorites followed closely by Carnitas. The spices are full bodied and fully envelope the meal with each bite, you’ll catch yourself attempting to catch the tender pieces of perfectly cooked juicy steak and coupled with cool crisp fresh onions and herbaceous cilantro with a fresh squeeze of lime for the perfect tartness and acidity to break through the fat of the steak. It’s a harmony made in...
