Wanted to see what all the hype is about. Stopped by and the tacos are delicious. It's definitely a must if in the area. The owner informed us they will be closing at the end of the season, so if you get a chance to get over there for some yummy tacos.. run! It's a VERY small place and seating is limited but worth it. Parking is limited.. Best bet is to find street parking (Good luck!).

Jonathan Wesolowski

Sad to see it’s closing in September 2023. The best classic California tacos and nachos and the original vegetarian for option in Orange County for the last 35+ years.

Rachel Cope

Honestly so good. Yes, expensive, but so is everything else around here. I got a taco salad, partner got quesadillas. They were both awesome. Service was excellent.

Keiko Arzouman

Great local taco joint! Service was friendly and pretty fast. Parking is tough on a busy day - street parking is your best bet. The tortillas were particularly great and loved the added guac and salsa they add on when you pick up your order. Not too much seating either. I suggest going for an early lunch to heat the crowd + take advantage of their taco Tuesday special prices!

Matthew Montgomery

The fish taco was excellent (love the blue corn, but make sure you ask for it) and the carnitas nachos were very good. Great salsa, too — probably my highlight.

J. Attridge

We got the salmon Taco and the vegan phish burrito. They were delicious and came out surprisingly fast. The banana chocolate smoothies were refreshing! Highly recommend Taco Loco for the atmosphere and the food.

Joe Aybar

I've been coming here for a bit on my walks in Laguna. First time getting the salmon salad and it was great. Fun place to sit in their patio, eat, drink and people watch on the weekends.

This place is a not-so-hidden gem. While fish dishes are their bread and butter, they've also got tofu and other options for the non-fish eaters (keyword: vegeterian, vegan). Their refried beans are proudly made without lard -- but with the other l-word: Love. (You won't miss the lard.) For fish eaters, the fish is delicious, and they've got a bunch of different fish options to choose from. The staff is entertaining and friendly. Service is relatively quick -- they're clearly a smoothly oiled machine behind the beach-shack-not-actually-on-a-beach facade. There are a ton of fish-taco options in Laguna Beach, but we'd go back to this one without a second thought.

I normally don’t eat tacos often but I kept hearing a lot about this place and had to check it out before 2021 ended. The lobster taco here is probably the best I ever had. Flavorful and just outstanding. The salmon taco was good, could have been a little crispier. Wait was around 20-30 mins depending on the line. My only complaint was the parking. It was tough finding parking but it’s Laguna beach.

Timoteo Boldton

This place is Amazing! Love the mushroom tacos! They do a great job of making healthy inexpensively priced food in a comfortable relaxed atmosphere. The owner is a hardworking humble guy who is quick with a smile and a word of encouragement. I can't wait to go back! Viva Taco Loco!

Leanna Fortune

Discovered this gem looking online for vegan options in the area. Did not disappoint! I ordered the blackened tofu tacos and I highly recommend. The food here is prepared with such love and care. Can't wait to go back!

Shawna Boyd

Um wow! These nachos were everything! Such a generous portion and you get to choose the fresh toppings to go on. The guacamole was my favorite part. There's small seating areas. With alcoholic beverages you are limited to sitting within the gate. Might be easier to get take away instead of battling for a spot.

Rafael Santander

This is a taco stand for the ages. It's just never bad! The food is great and location is fun to watch the cars go by on pch. On slow nights you can hear the waves crashing. I'm not a vegetarian but their mushroom tofu burger is excellent! The fish tacos and the carnitas tacos are delicious!

Mayur Patel

The food was great, it had a nice fresh and home-made quality and was prepared quickly. I was surprised to see mexican pizza on the menu, and the blackened tofu pizza was quite filling despite being so small! The bean and cheese quesadilla was excellent. The guacamole and salsa were all very fresh. It was a little pricey for the portion sizes but I think that comes with anything in Laguna Beach.

Baffour Anim

Great location for a good bite to eat after a day out and about with friends and family. They have an extensive menu and with many vegetarian and vegan options. Make sure you are specific when ordering because the food is often pre cooked and reheated for orders.

Alex J.

Everything seemed so good in the beginning. Fresh looking toppings, friendly staff; but then the food came. The meat burrito, was equivalent to a bean burrito from Taco Bell with sloppy joe on top for 5 times the price. The tacos my wife ordered were dry, and tasted a bit bland. I was very disappointed because everything looked great. Nevertheless, the guac was a 5/5.

Ian Klumpp

This place has a really great atmosphere and I appreciated being able to sit outside on such a beautiful day. However, I had the fish tacos and they just weren’t very good. The guac was delicious and I really enjoyed the alcoholic Kombucha so I’m giving it three stars; but, overall, a disappointing experience. I’m not likely to go back.

Manpreet Sandhu

The Monday Specials were seafood tacos so we ended up trying the Lobster, Salmon, and SeaBass. Tacos were good but all felt like they were on the greasier side and would have been too oily if I didn’t have the guac to balance it out. Outdoor seating was a good idea since the indoor counter space was a bit crowded.

Amie Austin

We went to the one inside The Sawdust Festival tonight. We ordered chicken tacos and carnitas tacos. Both had no flavor. The tortilla chips also has no flavor and the salsa seemed like it was Old El Paso. One of the girls working was eating chips while helping get food to the pick up window. Gross. Keep your fingers away from your mouth while touching other people’s orders.

Mary Strizic

Can I give service negative?! So rude to me and witnessed being extremely rude to elderly women who couldn’t hear one of the employees well. Raised her voice like the woman was mentally disabled and couldn’t process, disgusting condescending rude and nasty young woman. Nachos were Tostitos with some melted cheese for 16+ $ gross!. This was at the Sawdust Festival location.
