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.

“This was some of the best mole sauce I've ever had”
what threw me off is how they have the promotion for $1.50 tacos but if you want the cilantro and onion on the side they will charge you full price.
Yesterday evening, my wife and I went to the restaurant as we usually do.
Not sure if it's a bar or family restaurant.

“Been dining here FOREVER .”
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

“First time dining here - we will be back.”
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.”
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 .”
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

“This restaurant is downtown west Chicago in a beautiful brick building with a large outdoor seating area.”
This restaurant is downtown west Chicago in a beautiful brick building with a large outdoor seating area. The staff was welcoming and the other customers made me feel welcome. I ordered a margarita and it was tasty. For lunch I got Molcajete Tradicional and this was amazing. It was full of beef, chicken and shrimp and a little veggies. For true Mexican food, stop by this place

“We always have a great time at Coco Loco.”
We always have a great time at Coco Loco! The staff is always friendly and the food is always delicious. Their blue shark margarita is my favorite drink and everything we’ve ever tried has all been amazing. The molcajete, pozole, cecina tacos, and the sope estilo DF are a few of our favorites.
