    Their gorditas are TO DIE FOR. Best I've ever had. They have picnic tables so you can eat there. I'm salivating just writing this review.

  • Jacqueline Hernandez

    Sorry no pictures. Food was delicious! This was my second time coming here and food quality still remains a priority for them. They are definitely not getting recognized enough by the few reviews they have. I can say this isn’t just another Mexican food truck, but one that is actually authentic. I highly recommend and will be back when in the area. Thank you El Coco Loco for the great food, drink and service. I had a mushroom quesadilla (on corn tortilla) and a fresh homemade watermelon drink. None of that powdered drink stuff
