" El Taco Loco is a must-visit for any Mexican food lover! I’ve enjoyed tacos at various places and this one stands out! The ingredients are fresh, and you can taste the quality in every bite. I would recommend the enchiladas; they are rich and tasty! I needed to get some beers to wash down the spice, but that’s often the case when you enjoy authentic food. The atmosphere was lively; it felt like a fun place to hang out with friends. Definitely coming back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you love Mexican food then El Taco Loco is the place to be! The seasoning on the tacos was spot on, and they provide a decent amount. I also enjoyed the vibrant atmosphere filled with Mexican-inspired decor which added to the dining experience. The only downside was that it can get really packed, especially on the weekends, leading to longer wait times. Nonetheless, I highly recommend checking this place out! " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I tried El Taco Loco while touring Manitou Springs. Our kids loved the nachos and burritos, and my husband enjoyed the quesabirria tacos. Honestly, the tacos tasted fantastic, with a rich flavor that reminded me of my grandma’s cooking! The service was friendly, but we did wait a bit longer than expected. The ambiance was casual and welcoming, but it could use more decorations to make it feel cozier. Still, the good food makes up for it. We’ll return on our next trip! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Taco Loco is hands down a must-visit in Manitou! I wasn't expecting such great flavors! The ingredients were fresh, and there was a good variety of sauces. Service was friendly and quick, but I did notice the dining area could be a bit tidier. Despite that, the experience was delightful, and I would highly recommend the birria tacos. They were so good I couldn't stop eating! I'll definitely return. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a wonderful dining experience at El Taco Loco! The tacos tasted like they were made in a Mexican kitchen. Each ingredient was fresh, especially the tortillas. I couldn't get enough of the horchata; it was creamy and perfectly sweet. The atmosphere was fun and vibrant, with colorful decorations that made me feel like I was in Mexico. Service was quick, and the staff was friendly. I highly recommend this spot for anyone craving authentic Mexican flavors. It’s a hidden gem in Manitou Springs! Will definitely come back!

" I had such an enjoyable experience at El Taco Loco! The food was just incredible; every bite of the carne asada fries was deliciously seasoned! The atmosphere was charming and warm, making it a pleasant place to relax. The staff was super helpful and friendly; they took the time to help customize my order. The only drawback was a bit of a wait, but honestly, the food was well worth it. I highly recommend trying the tacos here! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was excited to try El Taco Loco based on the reviews I had read. The tacos were indeed tasty, reminding me of the flavors from my travels in Mexico. The rice was good, but the beans tasted canned. The service was quick, though I felt a little rushed. I might return if I'm in the area, particularly for the tacos, but I hope for more consistency next time. " (*Curated Review*)
