Went for my husband birthday dinner after dinner. after dinner went to pay and was told they had no WiFi couldn’t take my Gift card we could wait if we wanted it may not take long! It did!! so I asked for a dessert for his bday to kill time they brought it (at the least they could have gave it complimentary for the inconvenience) well they did not! Wi-Fi never came back 30 mins later they said they could take the Gift card and my name and call me if they was a issue the bill was $70ish GC was $100.00 not wanting to wait any longer we agreed no manager came to say sorry or to do anything for the long wait or the issue with payment was thinking better customer service would have been nice For this situation. And having a manger at least stopping by that to at least to say thanks for our patients our Food was great server was great management not so much 😏 won’t be back unfortunately 😏 would have loved to try the amazing drink list they had that I could not enjoy this visit. Without the issue this could have been a new go to ..

We had a fantastic experience at Loco Taqueria & Oyster Bar! The live music, food, service, and vibe were all beyond expectation. We enjoyed the lively atmosphere, signature cocktails, and superb Tex-Mex options. As a Texas Native I am critical when it comes to Taquerias, but Loco’s hit all the marks!

A pretty good taco spot. The tacos were a bit pricey but the food was good overall. Some of the tacos were average, about what you would expect. However, the coconut shrimp and beef barbacoa tacos were fantastic and I would highly recommend. We came on a Monday, so I got to try the $1 oysters, which were good as well. Good service, and not too noisy. Overall, a good experience and I’d come back again.
