LocoMex Downtown

Underwhelming, mediocre, cramped and uncomfortable. [It's possible to make a comfortable booth/seating arrangement in this space; previous establishments managed it.] The food is alright, the service is alright, and the atmosphere is alright.

I had a pretty good dinner here the other day.

I ordered 2 beef tip fried burrito for $7.50, and I must admit, these were the best fried burrito I have had so far! When it comes to the Mexican cuisine, I must admit that I am not too adventurous, and I tend to stick with the same mess: chimichanga or fried burrito- which is ultimately the same! However, what set their dish apart amongst all the others is that they add red peppers in theirs. I found the onions and peppers cooked well-it was still crunchy, and they were not skimpy with the beef tips, which by the way, was seasoned quite well. So in that aspect, I am a fan!

Then there are the chips... they were a bit too thin for me... it was so thin that it kept on breaking every time I tried to scoop up some salsa... grrr... and as for the salsa, it was good, just like any other salsa: which can be a good thing or a bad thing.

My friend had one of the vegetarian plate, and she was not too impressed with it. She said the dish was an onion-overkill and they were skimpy on the cheese... which is very true since my plate was also lacking on some of the cheesy goodness, and the table next to us had to request for an extra side of cheese... I mean come on... get cheesy with it ok?

Oh, the seats were a bit too cramped in there... we tried to get a booth and my friend, who is a skinny girl, found the seats uncomfortable... we opted to sit outside...

But! all in all I had a good time. I will definitely give it another try :)

Good food, fast friendly service, cool atmosphere, convenient location.  It's also super easy and quick to pick up to-go lunch to take back to the office.  Very fair prices.
