    I’ve said it once, and I’ll say it again, el taco loco is the best mexican restaurant uptown. the past 4 years of living in Nola, if I want mexican I am coming here. Get ONE margarita and u will not need more drinks for a WHILE. Incredible (and free!!) options of hot sauce & lime wedges. You could stay for an hour (chill/fun ambiance), or be in/out for 15 minutes. Their balcony upstairs + margarita + friends + carnitas tacos = my heaven

    The one word that comes to mind for me to describe this place is β€œsensational.” The warm welcoming atmosphere and the quality of food is unmatched!! Don’t forget to pair your food with a delicious margarita! Also the prices are very fair! This is my spot for tacos, no question.

    The best spot for Taco Tuesday in New Orleans. They have $2 tacos and $4 small margaritas on Tuesdays. On Tuesday’s there is usually a lot of Tulane students and a line but it moves pretty fast. The food is delicious and there is plenty of seating ( they also have a balcony). I ordered 3 chicken tacos and my friend got a steak quesadilla with margaritas of course. We definitely enjoyed. I would highly recommend checking El Taco Loco out.
