| - My first visit to El Local Loco was a pleasant experience. I was walking around downtown around St. Lawrence Market looking for a place to eat and just happened to stumble upon this restaurant! I naturally love tacos, so I thought why not?
Upon entering, you'll see that El Local Loco is very spacious. It's got some hipster decor on the walls and a casual atmosphere to it. Everyone I interacted with inside (hostess, servers) were all helpful, friendly, and customer-oriented. The menu has a wide variety of unique mexican appetizers, taco flavours, burritos/burrito bowls, and dessert! They've also got several different types of cocktails and tequila on their drink menu, because what better to mix your tacos with... Amirite? Some drinks can get pretty pricey though. Anyway, I've tried the chips with guacamole, pico de gallo (this is free if you check-in on Yelp!), carnitas taco, and pollo taco - and they're all pretty good. I would definitely recommend any of these choices if you're having trouble choosing.
Since I had a great first time here, I actually decided to come again for my birthday party! The employees were really accomodating for my group of ~18 people that kept changing in numbers every few days. El Local Loco is a terrific place for large groups because of the casual atmosphere, wide selection of food and drinks, and great service. It's also probably one of the very few Mexican restaurants in downtown Toronto that accomodate for events like this, so I appreciated that very much.
All in all, had a wonderful time during both my visits and I certainly wouldn't be against coming back again for a third time. I'll be trying a burrito bowl for my next visit!
