“ We stopped in today for lunch specials and a drink. Very nice and clean atmosphere. There was no one in the parking lot, which was surprising, but that didn’t deter me from trying their steak el gordo burro. The Chips and salsa were good once I mixed mild with hot lol. The mild seemed to bland for me so I asked for extra dish to mix them ... so good. My friend ordered the chicken fajitas. Both of us were happy with our choices, the temperature and seasonings were perfect (and adding sour cream on the side was good idea too). I’ll definitely go back again ”
“ I need another star for this restaurant. The food, the service everything was spectacular. I had more than enough food. The atmosphere was not colorful, the hot salsa was not hot, but the hot sauce on the table was hair raising. The margaritas were delicious. I have found Mexico in Michigan. I can't wait to go back. ”
“ Soon to be known as Chula Maria. The food was excellent and came in very large portions. Service was fantastic with an outdoor area that has been newly remodeled. I would highly recommend checking out this cute Mexican restaurant with a full bar. ”
“ Taco Loco - Utica, MI I stopped by Taco Loco for a quick bite and was pleasantly surprised by the experience. I ordered the street taco, which was flavorful and perfectly seasoned, but the highlight was when the chef personally came over to offer me a sample of their beef rib taco. The tenderness and rich flavor of the beef rib was exceptional, making it a must-try! The food quality was top-notch, and the prices were very reasonable. However, what truly stood out was the friendly and attentive service. A fantastic spot for delicious tacos with a warm, welcoming vibe. Highly recommended! ”
“ I’m not even done with my meal as I’m writing this... but this place is absolutely fantastic. The staff has such great energy and they’re so positive and helpful. The food is good and the portions are massive... the drinks were good... it’s so good!!! Will absolutely be coming back! ”
“ Those QuesoBirria tacos were amazing... Literally melted in mouth and consome was one of the best I ever had! Mango ChulaRita was delicious too ”
“ I have always wanted to try this place for many years as I drove by it all of the time. Well, I finally did give them a try and am so glad I did!! I wanted a carryout order and from the time I called my order in I was very pleased and delighted how pleasant and warm the person taking the order was. She was very attentive and very nice which made this first time orderer feeling very welcomed. I picked up my order and again the person taking care of me and ringing me out was VERY nice. I must tell you that there was not a single item (we had ordered many dinners) that we were not pleased with. WE WILL BE BACK!!! I am so mad at myself for not trying them out sooner...they are FANTASTIC. Super Job to the Team there...Keep up the good work!! ”
“ Stopped in to pass time between wedding and reception. Got seated right away, and server didn't miss a beat when another couple joined us midway through. My sister Iin law claims these are the best margaritas, mine was very good. She and I had raspberry on the rocks with a sugared rim. My mother in law had a traditional with a salted rim. We all had the small size. ”
