El Toro Loco Taqueria Raleigh

Hear me out , when I first walked in and saw limited tables I was annoyed because every table was taken. However people left quickly everyone was minding of the wait, the bartender made the BEST margaritas! The $1.50 tacos are SO WORTH IT! The food runner was very nice and friendly, I will be back! It was delicious!

The pineapple margarita was absolutely perfect — super refreshing, not too sweet, and full of fresh pineapple agua fresca (made in house, daily). My husband and I tried the chilaquiles with chicken, and they were honestly some of the best we’ve ever had: crispy, flavorful, and topped with just the right amount of sauce and cheese. And the horchata? Hands down the best we’ve tasted. The service was amazing. All servers were welcoming. The atmosphere was warm, and everything tasted incredibly fresh. Highly recommend if you’re looking for authentic flavors done right!

A group of us stopped by after the Christmas parade a few days ago. Walking in we were greeted by the staff which made us feel welcomed. Our server was very attentive and friendly. However our food is what made us realize this was a real authentic Mexican restaurant. The tortillas are handmade which reminded us of our childhood. I got the chilaquiles with asada and an agua de pepino. The agua was very refreshing. Paired perfect with my spicy chilaquiles. The asada was nice and tender. My husband got the fajitas Texanas and he enjoyed it! I would definitely recommend to my family and friends. I will for sure be back soon to try all the other flavors of aguas frescas.

I pass by this place everyday on the way to work and have always wanted to try it, it was good but a little expensive for what you get. I tried the ACP, it could use a little bit more seasonings. I also saw that they had $1.50 tacos on tuesdays so i’ll have to come in to try those!

Fabulous food and service. Corn was prepared wonderfully with a hint of salt and sweetness. Shrimp taco had very complimentary tastes plus fresh shrimp- a nice pleasant surprise. Steak quesadilla was right on ! Beers flowed nicely. Wall murals and lighting were outstanding!
