We called & asked if reservations could be made because we had a friend playing at the resturant & we wanted to be able to see & hear him play. We were told no reservations were taken from 6 to 8. REMEMBER NO RESERVATIONS FROM 6-8. So we made the reservation for 5:45, letting the lady know we specifically were coming to hear the musician. The food was good, the waiter was good. A lady, maybe manager, came by a few times asking if everything was okay. All is good. We finished eating around 6:35 & was talking & enjoying the music. The lady came back by & told us at 6:45 that she was sorry to keep coming by but she had this table reserved for someone. I'm sorry but we just spent $100 for food & there is no line outside for people waiting to be seated & there is a table for 6 in our same area that has no reserved table sign on it that someone could have been seated. There was also people seated around us who had been there longer than us & they weren't asked to leave! I guess because we weren't drinking the alcohol, we were the chosen ones to leave. So much for the 3 1/2 hour drive my son drove to hear the musician! We weren't planning on staying until 8 but we did want to sit a little longer & enjoy it since there was still seating around & no line of people. We left quietly & said nothing to the lady but just know we thought it was very unprofessional & rude to ask a paying customer to leave 5 minutes after we finished eating. We will not be back.

Being that I have now visited this wonderful restaurant multiple times, I shall let everyone know that this is a high quality Hispanic food restaurant. The presentation is top notch, the wait staff are friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. The inside seating is limited, but not cramped. The outside seating is ample and comfortable. It is well decorated and well kept. This is my favorite restaurant in Tifton!

Best Mexican restaurant in town!! I’ve been looking for a really good restaurant in town for years & I can’t believe I didn’t try this place sooner. The staff are so sweet, the atmosphere is friendly, romantic, and all around fun. The food is what really sold me though! I can’t believe all the other Mexican restaurants call themselves authentic…THIS is authentic. I’m never eating anywhere else!! I’ll be a regular from now on. OH. And the piña colada is TO DIE FOR.

My husband and I have decided to start trying the local restaurants and this was the first on our list as it was recommended by many friends. We were impressed with the speed of service and how friendly our server was. They food was hot and delicious with generous portion sizes. We will definitely be back!

Taco Loco has a very fun look to it as you drive up--lots of "graffiti" on the building. The inside dining area is rather small but we had no wait on a Saturday evening about 8 pm. My wife really enjoyed her custom made rice, mushroom, and onion burrito. I ordered the tamales because I don't find them often and they were special for the weekend. I thought they were too dry and without much flavor. The guacamole was great--mostly avocado with not much else. The flan was good also. The young man who served us was very polite.

I eat here all the time. They have the best Al pastor tacos I have ever had and their sopes are good here too. The service is really good and the atmosphere is fun. Some of their dishes can get pricey but you can also get out of there for $25 with tip for two people on some of their meals. This should be rated higher than most of the top 10.

WARNING!!! After enjoying our meal and being here for less than 2 hours, a random lady (who I eventually found out was the manager) boldly walked up and interrupted a conversation my friend and I were having. Word for word she said “Do you guys need something? If not, you need to wrap this up and leave. We have reservations waiting for this table.”We were still enjoying our chips/dip and finishing up the one drink we each ordered.Never in my life have I been told that I need to wrap up a conversation at a restaurant and told to leave. Shell shocked at how the manager just told us we needed to leave and walked away, my friend and I assumed there must have been a long line at the front and people waiting to be sat so we graciously got up to leave. When we walked to the front, there was not a single person waiting to be seated. Half the parking lot was empty as well!!!I called once I got to my car and asked to speak with the manager. She was the one who answered the phone and she immediately knew who I was. Her response was that there was someone in their car waiting for our table. I tried to have an amicable conversation, but the manager didn’t care what so ever. I’ve genuinely never been treated so rudely at a restaurant. They forever lost my service. So much for driving 45 mins to get there too.

The tacos were okay. Pretty standard for steak tacos. But the lime I was given had zero juice in it. We were charged for chips and salsa and not given any. And they add a $2 fee for take out orders. We will likely not be back.

Good food but bad customer service. We almost done eating that the manager ask us tu hurry up because they needed the table for other guest...was very rude...we were a total of 10 people and spend a lot of money. Unacceptable behavior,will not return.

We were impressed with the quality of the food here, the presentation was excellent, and the service was great. The dining room is fairly small, but it felt quiet and uncrowded even though most of the tables were occupied. The margaritas are super, but it's the food that is going to bring us back, I look forward to exploring their menu.
