Review Loco Taqueria & Oyster Bar - Boston

Naya ROUCHE
Almost not a tourist trap, but we enjoyed the lively atmosphere on a Tuesday night. Tacos and drinks were satisfying, and despite initial reservations about the $1 oysters, they turned out to be of good quality. Ariana ensured we were well taken care of, but there was a small hiccup – the advertised $1 per 🦪 on the menu ended up being $2.+$ per 🦪 on the final bill. Apparently, the $1 promo is only on Mondays, so a reprint of the order slip might be in order. Overall, still recommended!

The food was very good and fresh. I had three tacos that were exceptional. My wife had a salad that she really loved, and she is quite particular about those things. This restaurant/bar is geared for the younger crowd, so if you are looking for a quiet place to have dinner look elsewhere. But it definitely has that fun young person vibe to it!

We visited on Monday for lunch. The $1 oysters were clean, tasty and fresh; it's a shame that they are limited to 24 per "order form" which I assume is per 2 people. We also had the tacos and the fried wings which were just above average but good enough. Would definitely recommend visiting on Monday for the $1 oysters!

The place is poppin. My party and I came here in the pouring rain and the place was still crowded. Reservations is recommended, or you might be waiting up to an hour for a table. My only gripe is the service. They initially had us waiting for 20 minutes and no one came to our table. I had to go tell the hostess we were waiting for service and even after that, still no one. After 10 minutes I went and told her again and someone finally came to our table. The food was exceptionally delicious. We ordered Street Corn for an appetizer. It was glazed with an orange colored, creamy sauce and sprinkled with parmesan cheese and chives. My wife ordered the Taco Barria, laced with shaved steak, minces onions, peppers, and other ingredients; served with a broth-like dipping sauce w/ chives and other herbs floating in it. I ordered a Smash Burger. It has a tasty, succulent double patty, american cheese, carmelized onions, housed in two buttery brioche buns; served w/ a side of fries and ketchup.

Not sure why we got carded twice. I'm nearly 40. With that said, my group just flew in for work and was there for the after hours menu. Food was good servers were nice. Wobbly table and chairs and a bit dark

Great food, awesome vegetarian/pescatarian options, margaritas are delicious, the staff was really nice, and not too long waiting in between things even though there were a lot of people and it was a Saturday night. Definitely will go back!! Great to have outdoor seating!!

Good vibes! We got to sit next to a big open window. Good food with speciality cocktail for the month of October.

The food was amazing and it wasn't crowded during brunch and lunchtime, which is great to have a good quality time!

I loved it here just left after celebrating my mom a birthday lunch. Our waiter was so helpful and amazing definitely will be coming again. The food was so fresh and really delicious I definitely recommend the Birria tacos and the guacamole and chips. I also had a coconut margarita and a passion fruit one and they were both good but I preferred the coconut one. They definitely made my mom feel special since it was her birthday 🥳😊.

Came here my last 2 trips to Southie. Absolutely love the vibes of this place and the cocktails are exceptional. It’s so much fun around happy hour, dinner, or later. The coco margarita was impossibly delicious. Also loved the frozen margarita and the spicy cucumber marg. Queso and tacos are always amazing too! Cozy and casual for a group of friends to hangout for day drinks into happy hour.

Come for the dollar oysters 🦪 as they are cleanly shucked and fresh. Indoor noise can be bit like frat party atmosphere- you may want to opt for outdoor seating.

Taco tuesday was great! Options were good and prices were reasonable. My favorite was the chicken taco, the bacon was a really unique touch that I really enjoyed. Margaritas were delicious! It gets busy at dinnertime because of the specials.

Great place to get $1 oysters on Mondays. They’re a bit small, but it’s okay. The vibe is very energetic, but the music is a bit too loud, so you can hear yourself shouting to your mates at the table. The food is also good. Along with the oysters, we nachos and birria tacos. The drinks were also mixed well!

I ordered chicken fajita burrito, street corn, and cajun Caesar salad. All were AMAZING! Seriously, some of the best food I have had in a while. Very very delicious.

The food, service and atmosphere were all great! The kitchen even made an item that wasn't on the menu for us, which shows the phenomenal customer service this restaurant has! Highly recommend!!
Matt Zuchowski
Short rib, Cajun backened tuna, and smoked brisket tacos were fantastic. Their margarita too.

We are from the Cape and came up to pick family up from South Station. Stopped here to have something to eat and drink before their bus arrived. It was amazing to say the least! My boyfriend and I loved everything about Loco, the atmosphere, food was excellent, & drinks were out of this world! Not to mention the staff were super friendly and nice. Our waitress was on top of it the entire time and food and drinks were on our table in an unreal short amount of time. This place is defiantly going to be one of our top stops while we are in Boston!! I highly recommend, Thank you for a great first impression :)

AMAZING! My husband and I are staying in South Boston and were recommended to this place. After 3 days of trying to get a table (the waits were too long to fit our timeline) we finally got to relax while waiting for a table and ended up staying at the bar for dinner. Service is precise and friendly. Food is on-point and priced accordingly! I recommend this place to anyone, local or traveling! Perfect visit and the bartender gave us great advice on things to occupy our time while on vacation!

Love this place, amazing food, great service and their music was awesome. Definitely order the cauliflower, one of the best meals I’ve had in a long time. Good job guys, keep it up!
Marcus P Hackney
The food, presentation, atmosphere and staff are great. I'm new to Boston and I'm a huge foodie and this was one of the best meals I've had in a while. If you have not gone or you are second guessing yourself. Please check them out, you won't regret it... oh the margaritas we're absolutely!!!
Dave Falvey
It’s my wife & I’s neighborhood go-to. The staff is so good to us & despite how busy it can be there, they’re always friendly & make us feel at home & special. The food & drinks are also fantastic. Fun atmosphere, especially when there’s live music. I love this place.
Paul Emmett
I'll keep it simple, the staff, the food, and the vibe makes this place my favorite hangout in Boston. No one else comes close.

Coco Margaritas & $3 tacos with chips & gucamole was absolutely perfect last night. My fave spot in Southie. Great music & awesome waitstaff. 👍👍
Leah Nawoichik
Went here for sis's birthday. Food was amazing! It's taco Tuesday so it was loud and crowded and I was so impressed by the cleanliness given the crowd. Shout out to Tommy B and unknown food runner (sorry I didn't catch your name) for the great service!
Tiffany Michalak
Always a great time. Very friendly staff, amazing food and drinks. Would Highly recommend to anyone looking for all three.
Womtom Tomwom
Went for the first time last night. The food was amazing. Definitely recommend the El Jefe margarita. The ceviche oysters were awesome. Will definitely be going back.
Kai Felsman
Wow. That was amazing! Been trying to try out loco for a while but hadn't had the chance. Margaritas and buck nasty (Mezcal cocktail) were great. Wings were surprisingly delicious- awesome tangy glaze- perfectly seasoned. Great oyster selection, pretty pricey but it's worth it. Tacos were great- carne Asada was a little cold but regardless delicious.
Rick Brennan
Love Loco!!!! Was there for s Farewell Party and had a great time! The drinks and food - so good!
Dustin Miller
This place was amazing. From the ambiance to the food, it was awesome. Best tacos I have had in a long time. I would fly back to Boston just to come here.
Chelsea Fritschy Womersley
My husband and I went to Loco for the first time last night and it was amazing! The food was delicious, especially the raw bar, the drinks were perfect, and the service was amazing! Great experience all around!
