El Coco Loco
El Coco Loco — neighborhood mexican in West Chicago. Worth ordering a drink, because the bar holds its own. You're greeted like a regular, even the first time. [$$, patio]

“Well I walked in and was greeted nicely no problem there. I asked to use the restroom and was given directions. I come back and I ordered my food then the waitress said that’s too spicy. I’m like ok can I try sauce for the chilaquiles first. Just to see my tolerance. Then she said ok with rib eye and eggs. Then I said no quiero huevos. She looks at me and says you know Spanish yes I’m Mexican 🤣. Then I realized it myself that I was something else. I’m like Que si yo tengo Cara de nopal. Any way had a fun and good experience with the whole mix up. Food was good. Will be going back for more shenanigans”

“Been dining here FOREVER ! Typically I order Al La carte items - not dinners & generally pop in for lunch. Order the 3 Tostadas as well as a side order of refried beans and then take 1.5-2 home for another meal. Family owned & run”

“We got take out $2 tacos and they were solid. We will definitely be eating in and trying more stuff in the future!”

“Great place to come for burritos and tacos. Margaritas are amazing. Friendly and prompt service!”

“First time dining here - we will be back. Delicious food, quick and kind service, fun vibe. $1.50 tacos on Tues & Thurs - the pollo tacos were our favorite as were the beans and rice. Check them out! Dine indoors or outdoors.”

“My FAVORITE Mexican joint. The staff is wonderfully nice and they always make me fajitas with the asado taco meat. They also have the best hot salsa and guacamole.”

“This weekends new to us restaurant was El Coco Loco Mexican Grill in West Chicago . I had chicken enchiladas with mole. This was some of the best mole sauce I've ever had. Seriously it was so good. Tim had carne asada and it fell apart. You barely had to chew it. George had a steak burrito which he said was very good and Dawn has fish tacos which she also said were really good. The queso fundido was pretty great as well. That mole though. I will definitely go back for that. #newtousrestaurant #timilyeats”
“The service was awesome. The menu was really nice. The atmosphere is top notch”
