El Taco Loco

El Taco Loco was the first restaurant I've tried of the many Mexican places on Federal in Camden. It was just, err, average. Maybe below average.

I ordered goat tacos, chorizo tacos, steak tacos, and a couple of tamales.

First, the tacos. The meat tasted dry and lifeless almost across the board; the chef obviously didn't start with great materials, and he didn't have the flare to compensate on the grill.  It's great when you find good barbecue goat tacos in this area, but these certainly weren't that good.

Second, the tamales. I ordered tamales wrapped in corn, but they only had the ones wrapped in something else, some huge leaf. They came out all wet inside. They felt stew-like instead of steamed, like I like them.

The salsa bar was uninspiring. Nothing looked or tasted terribly fresh, and the choices wouldn't blow anyone away. Imagine the Mexican equivalent of ketchup and mustard.

And, they didn't have agua de horchata.
