Taco Laco from Gloria’s Mexican Restaurant

 

Running late today because I hit snooze a few too many times, and a very grumpy older lady in line at the pharmacy I stopped by Gloria’s again on my way to work to grab a bite to eat.  I have already had my usual go to breakfast tacos here a few times so I thought I would try out something different and my roommates boyfriend recommended the Taco LOCO from there.  Actually his talk about his taco is what turned me on to the place to being with I just have not yet tried said taco because I was not sure what all I would find in it honestly.  But today I needed some thing a bit more substantial than my usual so I branched out and tried the LOCO.

It was a  good combination of flavors together in one place. A soft fluffy tortilla stuffed with the following:

Chorizo

Refried Beans

Scrambled Eggs

Bacon

Sautéed Onions & Peppers

Potato

 

My only issues was the bacon, it was an uncomfortable crunch in the middle of al the softer mushier (for lack of a better word) of food flavors.  It was a bit of shock when I first came across a piece in a bite. 

I added a little bit of salt after the first few bites, and it helped to bring all the flavors out and gave it a bit more of a kick to the taste buds.

I used the red hot sauce today vs my usual green sauce.  It was defiantly hotter in scoville temperature  than the green but I didn’t think it had as much individual flavor as the heat drown it out.  I will say this it helped to clear my sinuses as my allergies have been awful this week.

Because I was already running behind, I called in the order ahead, and it was ready when I arrived. I was greeted when I arrived by a waitress who was at a table taking an order.  I had to wait for her to get back behind the counter to pay and receive my food.  There were two younger children in serving aprons clearing tables and delivering drinks after the waitress had prepared them (as she was cashing me out).  I ordered the Small Taco LOCO and it was $2.99 they do have a larger one that is $4.99 that I have not yet tried.  This one was a bit larger than my usual potato egg and cheese taco and was enough to satisfy so I don’t know that I will ever try the large size. 

Sláinte,
