" The selection at El Taco Loco is great, and I was able to easily find something that suited my cravings. I had a steak burrito, which was packed with flavor although a bit greasy. The atmosphere was fun, albeit small, and the service made up for any minor inconveniences. I'd stop here again. " (*Curated Review*)

" El Taco Loco is a great little spot for taco lovers! I was really pleased with my experience. I ordered the chicken burrito which had a generous amount of filling and tasted amazing. The outdoor seating is a nice option for sunny days. The prices are a bit on the higher side, but you do pay for quality food. Will definitely be back! " (*Curated Review*)

" A fantastic experience overall! I ordered the wet burrito and it was delightful; the flavors really popped! I'm a huge fan of mole sauce, and theirs was rich and delicious. The staff were incredibly friendly and engaging, making the visit enjoyable. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for authentic Mexican food in Ballard. " (*Curated Review*)

" El Taco Loco is my new favorite taco spot in Seattle! The carne asada tacos are simply marvelous, with each bite delivering flavor and tenderness. Plus, the staff is always smiling and makes you feel right at home. I love that they also cater to vegetarians with great options. They recently added to their seating area too, which is a bonus! Definitely a repeat destination for me. " (*Curated Review*)

" This hidden gem has some of the best tacos I've had in a long time. The balance of flavors was exceptional, and they seemed to use fresh ingredients. The vibe is casual, and the service was terrific. If you find yourself in Ballard, make sure to stop here for a quick bite. Their burritos look equally impressive, so I can't wait to try them on my next visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" I always have a great experience at El Taco Loco. The staff is super friendly, and they make the dining experience really special. I've tried the wet burrito and chicken tacos; both were delicious! I loved the house-made horchata too. Definitely a staple in my dining routine now. " (*Curated Review*)

" The food at El Taco Loco is great, but I had an unfortunate experience with my to-go order. Instead of the burrito I expected, I received it cut in half and poorly packed, resulting in quite a mess. While the flavors were all there, I think the packaging could use some improvement. Still, I commend the friendly staff for their efforts! " (*Curated Review*)
