Loco Taqueria & Oyster Bar

Really fantastic food! Accidentally visited during what seemed to be a christmas bar crawl, but that didn’t impact the quick service or delicious food! Located conveniently across from Fenway Park, Loco has something delicious for everyone. Clean bathrooms, too!

By far the worst service I’ve experienced—there is absolutely no excuse for it. We arrived in the early evening to an empty restaurant. Plenty of empty seat all over. Despite standing at the host stand, both hosts completely ignored us, choosing instead to continue their personal conversation. When we were finally acknowledged, the only question asked—without greeting or courtesy—was whether we had a reservation. Given how empty the restaurant was, it was almost laughable. We were seated in the least desirable area, and when we politely asked if there were other seating options available, the host bluntly said “no” and walked away without making eye contact or offering any explanation. The level of arrogance and disregard was astonishing. When I eventually spoke with the manager on duty—who, to his credit, was respectful—his response was that he wouldn’t address the issue immediately because the host might “walk out,” but that he would handle it later. That response alone speaks volumes. First impressions matter, and the behavior of the hosts reflects a management culture where professionalism and accountability are already strained, to the point that management seems hesitant to intervene for fear of staff walking out As for the experience beyond that, the drinks were mediocre at best. A $14 margarita served in a very small glass is hardly impressive. For a party of two to spend over $100 on an experience this poor is unacceptable and absolutely not worth it. Save your time and money. Yard House is right down the street and delivers exceptional service consistently. I will not be returning, and I strongly recommend others do the same.

We came here for some holiday spirit during a Christmas reunion, and it was a great decision! The place was decked out and the music (not holiday music) was spot on (hit our early 2000s nostalgia). They even had a free photo booth/station. The holiday drinks specials were sweet (one tasted like a milkshake!). The hostess was fantastic, but our waitress seemed a bit overwhelmed so service was on the slow side. That being said, we weren't in a rush so it was fine. I'm glad we made a stop here!

It's nice that you can order tacos individually. Drinks were not good. Womp. Carne Asada taco (not pictured) had great flavor.

Jack….while I appreciate you acting shocked that the kitchen did not bring out the street corn, you said so sorry I'll take it off. Well I sure hope so I never received it. Then after you said you took it off the bill, I handed you my card, even foolishly took a picture of my bill to later review it and find ya charged me for what I didn't receive anyway. Foolish of me for signing the bill with it on there and walking away, but still. Watch what your doing, please! Concert so loved the music they were playing to match. But because it was busy, very very slow service. We received dessert before my second drink ever came. -Guac was super small -Shrimp taco was bomb -Churros being GF was cool -Lots of GF options -Large tequila collection

We made a reservation as this place gets jam packed. The food was great. We got gluten free empanadas, which were awesome! Also, a quesadilla, tacos and nachos. The tacos were good, but actually our least favorite items from the above. It's a bit loud for kids, but has a fun vibe. We went early with our kids which worked out well. They have the best gluten free churros with a dedicated fryer and the server was well informed about our dietary needs including celiac safe food.

Amazing food. Can be very noisy after Fenway happenings.

Wow, the atmosphere and ambience, 10/5. So awesome inside and it gets very, very busy in the evening. Would recommend making a reservation ahead of time. Great selection of Mexican food and drinks. The magarita was really good. Little Devil is very spicy. The bucket of fries, hot and crunchy, very delicious. Coconut shrimp taco was bit dry and didn't taste like coconut. Taco was too thick for me. Short Rib Empanada and Pineapple guacamole were very good and we ended up getting another set. I like how they serve them just cooked/prepared - things felt hot and fresh. Didn't really like the Christmas special drinks. Baby Grinch tasted weird (a little like strange grape) and Candy Cane tasted like melted toothpaste. Desserts were amazing. The group/host ordered it for me so I don't what exactly was ordered but it was hot chocolate cookie/cake served with cold ice cream and then raspberry cake of some sort. It was very good. The nachos were (as always) great as a shareable. The servers were very busy and were very prompt at getting us moving for the next reservation, which was fair. They were friendly and took great photos. I gave 4/5 for service only because things got really busy - which speaks to how popular and successful this place is - not that anyone was mean. Had a fantastic time to celebrate my Birthday with cherished friends and colleagues. Thank you for the awesome memories. What a gift 🥹💕. Would come here again.

Dom and Alex at the front of the house were absolutely amazing! Dom was so kind and accommodating for everyone! It was a pleasure watching her work as someone who has served before! She knows her stuff and has such a great personality! Alex was very helpful as well! These two ladies deserve a raise!!!

I was coming out of a Red Sox game and this place was advertised as the best place to go to afterwards. There was a long line outside the door but it went by smoothly. Most people were hanging out by the bar area grabbing drinks. It was late for Wednesday night but it was still packed. I was able to get a table where I could sit down and enjoy a meal. They have a wonderful late night menu with cheaper prices. I ordered the Sonoran Hotdog which came with guac, pico, crumbled bacon, and mojo aioli. It was delicious. I didn't get a Fenway dog at the game but this was so much better. To drink I ordered the Coco Margarita. That was not very good. It was very bitter and lacked any alcohol. Fortunately the waiter was able to deduct it off the total bill. Around midnight things started to slow down so I headed out. I would come back here on a weekend after a game to see how it usually is.

Cabot go wrong with dollar oysters! We visited on a Monday afternoon- ample seating, great service at the bar and delicious oysters. I had a steak Cobb salad which I recommend specifying your steak temperature (fajita steak). The ambiance was laid back and quiet when we visited. I recommend the bar for easy and quick service!

I tried dollar oyster in Loco first time and wasn't disappointed at all! Oysters were fresh and staffs were friendly. My friend tried a cocktail (forgot the name) but he also enjoyed as well

I'm sure this place is booming after a sox game. Was chill today. The drinks : chefs kiss. We got an order of chicken nachos. Definitely generous portion, delicious, and beautifully presented. The service was just okay. Would recommend this place for sure.

Loco was el mejor (the best, in Spanish). We went to Cask'nFlagon before the game which was a mistake ... highly recommend Loco instead. Staff was super nice! The coconut marg was to die for. Very busy for the obvious reason.

Went for dinner and drinks during a concert, and may I just say...Loco, your tacos are worth every penny. Every taste bud burnt off from spice. Everything! I tried the birria tacos pictured, as well as the Caesar salad. Both were delicious perfectly spiced, and balanced very well. 12/10 meals! Ambience is super fun and the music was awesome - not too wild, but fun enough that you can just have a great time for hours. Service was also excellent considering it was a busy concert night!!

A quick stop at Loco on a Monday for oysters with a friend who was in town!!! Our waitress was so kind and helped explain different food items on the menu for us. We ordered 10 each of the $1 oysters they had that day and also ordered the loaded nachos with chicken - YUM! The service was fast and friendly, and the vibes were great inside the restaurant. Very cool and new feeling. The cool temperature inside during this extraordinarily hot Boston summer was a big plus. :)

Came here for lunch with my son and sister after walking around on a very hot day in June. Sorry for my delay writing. We moved a month ago so it was one of my last Boston meals. Glad to be able to order tacos separately as I don't have a stomach and it's nice to order one. Loved my carne asada taco. My sister enjoyed her chicken taco. The pineapple guac was my favorite.

I loveeee loco. Street corn dip was okay, but I always get the veggie quesadilla every time I go. It's fun after a Red Sox game, always crowded and vibes are good. If you can get a booth even better. Music is always good too, throwback 2000s

Great food amazing service especially at the bar. I had to leave the hot bartendreses though because they don't have shades in the bar.I had to leave the hotties and go into the restaurant area and use many clothes napkins to dry my tears. Get some dang shades in the bar area

Wanted to come here after seeing this place all over Instagram for its Christmas drinks/decor. We tried to make reservations but they were all booked, so we put our name on the waitlist for an hour. Not bad considering it was a busy Friday. After an hour we were seated at a high top booth. It was very comfortable, only complaint is since we were right by the door it was so cold with it constantly opening up. I got the viral grinch drink...it was very pretty but tasted just okay. The Best Day Ever drink was better off the regular menu honestly. The nachos we ordered were good. I liked the lime crema they put on them...but it a little overpowering on the nachos. We actually asked if we could add steak to which the waitress said yes but they forgot our steak... We also ordered the hot dog and a carne asada taco. Beware the hot dog is very spicy. Taco was pretty good. Our waitress was okay, did a good job considering it was packed. All in all the experience was fun and I liked the vibe inside...but the food and drinks were just okay. Good place to go if you're in Boston but don't expect to be wowed by the food.

Really nice staff, 8/10 tacos! We went on taco tuesday and they were half off, which is a really good deal!

Loco Taqueria has a reputation of being accommodating to food allergies. However, this was absolutely not the experience we had. I have an allergy to peanuts and tree nuts. I always explain my food allergies before ordering and ask about certain dishes to see if they're safe or can be safely made without nuts. The waiter reassured us that the fried cauliflower dish could be made without nuts. When I was eating, I immediately started feeling allergic. My lips were tingling and itchy, and I felt nauseated. The general manager was actually really responsive and apologetic, though. Bottom line - do NOT eat here if you have food allergies! They need more training for ALL of the staff if they want to be considered allergy friendly again!

Venturing into Fenway's culinary scene beyond the usual pizza, sandwiches, and burgers led me to the vibrant world of Loco Fenway. The expansive interior surpassed my expectations, boasting two distinct bar areas--one charmingly nestled in the entryway and the other one towards the back. It was popping on a friday evening with a decent playlist of throwback rap/hip hop blasting within the restaurant that made it a little hard for me to hear my guest or our server. I got the jumpman cocktail which was supposed to be a kiwi cocktail but all I tasted was the tequila. Tantalizing my taste buds with $6 tacos, I relished their flavors, though they didn't quite reach the pinnacle of culinary ecstasy. I would say it's like a more affordable and relaxing option to Lolita's but the quality is a little less but at the same time it is more authentic. The service was amiable, though the pace of ordering and receiving the check did take quite some time. Despite this, the allure of returning to indulge in their tempting $1 oyster offerings lingers in my mind. Prices $$ Food 6 Atmosphere 6 Service 5

This place inside is very nice! The seating was comfy. As they had long bench style Seating with pillows. Their bathrooms are clean and stocked. We had a 45 mins wait, and even longer time to get our food. Which is expected for a Friday evening. I got the hot dog with fries which was good. My daughter got a burger with fries. She Took a bite of the fries and didn't want because it was over powdered with seasoning. She didn't taste the burger because she kept eating my friends octopus. Which was the hit at the table because it was cooked perfectly. My husband got tacos which all three the meat was bland and dry. The Brittany drink was very sour and only taste like a sour hard pink lemonade. My friend gave her back but I kept mine. We would come here again, but I would just get the octopus.

Had the might squirrel cloud candy ipa & it was pretty good! I liked the fruity notes but it was a bit more bitter than what I would normally go for. I like lighter beers. My friend got the classic margarita and it was pretty yummy! We shared the nachos and it was more than enough food for two. We didn't even end up ordering an entree we were so full. It was LOADED with delicious toppings and the chips themselves had a super flavorful seasoning. Not a single boring bite. Cool ambiance- young people, crowded, & awesome server.

It is adorable during the holiday season! The decor is amazing- there are Christmas trees, wreaths, and even ornaments hanging from the sky. They have a special holiday cocktail menu too! The pineapple guacamole was amazing. The quesadilla was very good as well. The queso was ok. Our waitress was very nice and the hostess who helped me make the reservation on the phone was also helpful and kind. I definitely recommend checking it out- especially during Christmas time! So cute- and it was busy and popular!

This is really between a 3.5 and 4. This was my first time visiting Loco in Fenway. One of the first things I noticed was how big the place was. Our server was nice, and her overall service was fine. My soda water was flat, but one of the highlights of this place was how most of the menu was gluten free! I was so excited about this. The fried chicken wings, which were also gluten free, were fantastic. I got the chicken and shrimp fajitas, which were good and had plenty of veggies. There was also lots of sauce on the fajitas, which seemed like mostly oil - idk if it was necessary. The chicken and shrimp were pretty good. The serving of guac was super small and this is the first place I've been where beans and rice weren't included with the fajitas, which was surprising for the price. I had to try the gluten free churros, as it was my first time ever seeing them and I was so excited. We were told the churros would take some time, so we ordered them to go. After about 15 minutes our server came out and said our churros were accidentally given to someone else. We waited for more churros, but the server didn't offer to take them off our check, which I think would've been the right thing to do, but we didn't press the issue. Overall, I would go back for the gluten free fried wings and churros if it's a week night when Fenway isn't packed.

I was visiting Boston with friends and we were looking for a place for happy hour/dinner near Fenway and stumbled on Loco! They check for IDs at the door, I guess maybe with it being a bar near Fenway? We were then led to a spacious booth which was great as we had friends meeting us. The entire space is large and really nice vibes with the indoor string lights. For drinks, I had the Rey Mysterio which was was a strawberry marg with ghost tequila that added a nice kick to it! We ordered some appetizers start, including the guacamole, salsa trio, and queso. I'm not a guacamole person, but this guacamole was so fresh and flavorful. The salsas were also so interesting and the queso was the star!! It came in a mini iron cast skillet and had great cheese pull. I also really appreciated that the chips were seasoned well! One of my friends and I also split oysters and they were super fresh and briny. Our friends joined shortly after and our wait staff was super accommodating and helpful with their recs for dinner. For dinner, I had a Baja fish taco and a shrimp taco. The shrimp taco was flavorful, while the Baja fish taco packed a big punch with the Fresno hot sauce on top! Dinner was absolutely delicious and pretty decent portions. Overall, Loco was a great find for us and I would stop by if in the Fenway area!

Just an all around great experience. Really friendly staff, delicious food (chips & queso, bucket of fries, jalapeño poppers) and delicious drinks. The windows were all open - amazing ambience. A lovely, casual place to grab drinks and apps.

Great rustic ambiance, $1 oysters, great personable staff who sent recommendations on other places to visit in Boston! Tequila selection was divine!

I sat down at the bar and ordered a beer got the menu and as soon as I placed my food order, I was asked to provide my credit card before they would put the order in. I told the waitress that that was very offensive to which she explained that that was standard policy in Boston. I challenge that with none of the other six restaurants I have stayed at during my stay have that policy and you were treating me like a criminal before I even ordered. I spoke to the manager, some young millennial who doesn't get customer service and explained how offensive his policy was to which he also said it was standard policy in Boston... I challenge that with my explanation. Boycott this restaurant it is not worth it ever. Plus $14 for chips and salsa at a Mexican restaurant. Are they freaking crazy? I will never give this company my business.

Sunday night moderately busy. Sat at the bar. Ordered spicy margarita and the trio of salsas. Spicy margarita was not spicy and not good. Very sour and never even asked if I wanted salt on the rim. My husband and I decided to share the octopus dish and we asked quite a few question first about it. The dish was borderline repulsive. it looked like it was charred or grilled but it was overall not edible. Overall a disappointment...

Love this place!! I was here last Monday for the James Taylor concert. I stumbled upon this place and glad I did. I plopped myself at the car where I was greeted by 2 super nice bartenders!! Joon and Thor were awesome!! The place was insane due to the Sox playing as well and they were extremely efficient and never missed a beat on service and a smile. Excellent cosmopolitans. I eventually made it to a table when the rest of my party arrived. Again, another super nice and efficient waiter named Nick. A definite stop in if u are in the area!!

Loco is such a decent priced yummy place. Nachos always slap and the birria tacos were bomb. Don't forget to get a coconut margarita

Amazing atmosphere great food and the best margs at Fenway!! if you're in the area definitely stop by and check it out

Not as good as the original location in Southie. Hostess and servers have attitude. Ordered a Baja fish taco that was definitely NOT fresh. I understand it's seafood but fresh l fish isn't supposed to smell and taste super fishy, which it did. It nauseated me so I didn't eat it. Waitress couldn't be bothered to refill water and seemed to care more about swerving what appeared to be a table of her friends nearby, Probably won't be back.

Service had 5-6 faults big faults, including not making one of the dishes we ordered (the server told us it got forgotten), and not refilling soft drinks or water. The only food I actively enjoyed was the guacamole appetizer (which was tiny). The enchiladas were dry and had too much chili powder and cinnamon, and the queso was not melty and glued itself to the cast iron skillet. Ambiance wise, it was difficult to read the menus given how dark it was, and a bit on the loud side. Would absolutely not go back nor recommend.

I am a frequent Fenway-goer, and enjoy the nightlife scene in Boston. I am sympathetic to busy nights and the difficult jobs of bartenders. However, the service at Loco was UNACCEPTABLE. I stood at the bar, first-in-line, waiting for at least 30 minutes to be served, only to be profusely ignored and disrespected. I understand- it's a busy night- but bartenders should have a basic level of recognition if someone has been waiting at the bar, attempting to make eye contact for THIRTY MINUTES. Would absolutely not recommend to women, as the only people being served were male. I stood at the bar with multiple other women, we waited for a few dozen minutes before having to leave without a drink. Jenn (the bachelorette) should NOT have endorsed this bar, as staff were disrespectful, inefficient, and the only redeeming quality was the DJ. Would not recommend to anyone except a 28-year old White man with a baseball hat covering his glaring receding hairline. Unacceptable service.

Good food for a good price. The place is large and beautiful inside, offering seating for both small and larger groups. They have some bar seating but not as much. Their guacamole is nice and salty but you'll probably have to ask for extra chips. I got the raja fish taco and Cajun blackened tuna taco. I haven't had much seafood except shrimp and I thought they were amazing. The toppings on them were a great balance and compliment to the fish. Multiple people at our table also ordered the million dollar smile drink. I would recommend all of these. Our server was friendly, brought the extra chips quickly, and I would recommend others go here too. We had a group of 5 and only had to wait about 5-10 minutes to be seated without a reservations. Based on all the seating options, seems like a great place for groups!

I should've just kept walking by. Great service though, everything seemed soo good on the menu but was a big no for me. I didn't have high expectations because I was extremely hungry and I'm leaving extremely hungry. My guacamole n chips weren't fresh, the guacamole was soo cold i could taste the ice as if it was left in the back of the fridge. Tacos were bland and unedible

Ambience 10/10, great music, service was great for a party of 8. The nachos (not pictures because we ate too fast) were top 5 I've ever had.

We came after a Red Sox game, not too busy but a good amount of people. We only came for the oysters and tequila and you can't go wrong with them here! They have a very good selection.

I've been here a few times since it's super close by. I love the convenience that the Fenway Loco is, more transportation options, bigger venue, etc. I've been here for dinner and it's not the same wow factor as the Southie location. Tacos are okay, ceviche cup was kind of odd, corn off the cob never disappoints, and oysters are a hit or a miss. I liked how Southie had different toppings/ dressings that you could put on your oysters, but Fenway only offers cocktail sauce, horseradish, and lemons. Kind of disappointing. Drinks are meh, but I've never been a fan of their drinks since there is no flavor as the alcohol is overbearing.

Amazing decor and ambiance for the holidays. We were pleased to have Danielle as our server. Super friendly and knowledgeable! Food was good but my favorite was the Sonora dog. We got lucky it was an off night and no concert was going on. I can't imagine how packed this place gets when it's busy. Come see Danielle and you won't be disappointed. Oh and they hve the best margaritas in Boston hands down!

I got 3 of the tacos brisket, short rib and Baja fish. All 3 were amazing. We also got guacamole to start which was a little small but very good and the chips were fabulous as well. Others at the table got smashed burger which they really liked as well as fajitas chicken and beef. The fajitas were huge and very good. The last entrée was the 3 beef short rib tacos with the dipping sauce which was also very good. The service was great and food came out quick.

Could not imagine owning a restaurant in the city of Boston with all of the self-proclaimed food critics looking for reasons to tear your business down. My wife and I stopped by Loco for Taco Tuesday and had a blast trying the different tacos. Being from Texas, it's tough to find true Tex-Mex options when in the northeast. This place over exceeded expectations. Will definitely be coming back next time we are in town.

Fantastic Monday night $1 oysters. So fresh and yummy. Daughter and I shared 2 dozen. Love, love!! Go get em!!

loco is the place to go for taco tuesday-$3 tacos after 4pm! the place does get pretty packed so i would be sure to make a reservation beforehand. the decor is beautiful and the service was quick. the grilled chicken taco was my absolute favorite-the chicken is perfectly juicy and the pineapple salsa adds the perfect acidity!

Food was great and so was our waitress. The reasoning of the one star is due to the bouncer at the door (larger man wearing newsboy cap). We made a reservation at the door earlier that day and when we arrived for our reservation we were treated so rudely. He first told us they were not taking reservations that day and then asked us for our IDs and didn't even ask whether we were trying to drink or have dinner. I repeatedly told him I had a reservation just to eat and wasn't looking to drink. He then took my ID even after multiple times of telling him I had a reservation to EAT and I wasn't going to drink. After showing him the text for the reservation he finally gave me my ID back but then shouted to every worker there that we would not be drinking (even though we weren't even trying to). Honestly such an embarrassing and uncomfortable experience and I cannot believe they're treating customers like this on one of their first nights open. He was on a power trip and was disrespectful right as the interaction started. Will not be returning if he is working the door.

First time at Loco and it did not disappoint! We started with oysters, and were lucky enough to be there on Monday for $1.00/ oyster night. We also had guacamole, a chicken taco and enchiladas. Everything was delicious. Our waitress Danielle's recommended the Big Al margarita, made with ghost tequila, and it was delicious! Service was from Danielle was excellent!

Great tacos and margaritas at this restaurant. The chicken taco, carnitas taco and tuna taco were good. I liked the chicken taco the most. Next time, I will try to guacamole and chips and also other tacos. I'm looking forward to going here before the Sox games!

Absolutely outstanding! We dropped by on a Sunday afternoon (before a Red Sox game, incidentally, just minutes before it got very busy). The food, cocktails, service, and atmosphere were all 5/5. We got oysters to start, as well as the octopus/shrimp ceviche and the birria tacos. Everything was so delicious! I thought the plantain cups that the ceviche was served in were an inspired choice. The dipping broth that came with the birria tacos was crazy flavorful. The spicy margarita was awesome (little devil? Don't recall the name, but had jalapeño infused tequila). Service was fast and attentive. The space is open, bright, and inviting. Very much looking forward to coming back!

Really good Lunazul El Jefe margarita. Order it up! Also, have a nice Tequila Ocho. Follow it up with a Deep Eddy Lemon shot! Excellent place for tequilas from all over Mexico! Great location too.

Awful service! Waiter was so inattentive and annoyed at a large group. Had to go to bar multiple times to get our own drinks. Could also have done without the multiple eye rolls!! Was basically our own waiter, never asked or advertised putting in a food order

Got the Bierria tacos and they were very small and didn't fill me at all. The churros were good and there was enough of them, at least for two people

Great atmosphere, amazing drinks, the only change would be to add rice and beans to the enchiladas but otherwise everything was amazing! Our host Alex was spectacular - friendly, helpful - completely outstanding!!!

We were on our way to a show at the MGM Music Hall and found this relatively new place, so we stopped in for a quick dinner. Overall, we were pretty happy! The ambiance is nice, especially with the windows all wide open on a summer evening. I tried their basic margarita, and it was perfect. Just enough lime and salt! We got an assortment of tacos for dinner - grilled chicken, fish, short rib, and carnitas. All were pretty good, especially the short rib. The sauce was nice and spicy without being overwhelming. The chicken was just ok; it was a little dry and tough and it could have used more seasoning. Service was friendly, although a bit frazzled. Understandable since a Sox game had ended about an hour earlier. I am sure they were slammed all afternoon. Deducting one star for the absolutely horrific conditions of the bathrooms! Dirty, gross, smelly, water everywhere. It looked like a bomb went off in there. Like I said, I'm sure the place was a zoo because of the game. But if one person spent maybe 5-10 minutes to tidy up the bathroom, it would have gone a long way.
