At Loco Mexican Restaurant and Cantina in Fall Creek Place, the California Burrito offers a straightforward starting point for a sprawling menu. The $17 burrito wraps grilled chicken, Mexican rice, black beans, avocado and pico de gallo in a large flour tortilla. It gets prominent billing from the restaurant, and diner feedback singles it out as a substantial meal.
The chips-and-dips section goes well beyond plain queso. Choriqueso folds spicy Mexican sausage into cheese dip; Fiesta Dip combines seasoned beef, cheese dip and pico de gallo. For a more elaborate starter, queso flameado brings grilled steak, chicken or shrimp over melted mozzarella, with grilled tomatoes, onions, bell peppers and warm tortillas.
Enchiladas and sizzling fajitas fill out the middle of the menu, with many main dishes priced from $17 to $22. Loco Fajitas combine steak, shrimp, chicken and chorizo, while the vegetarian choices include a spinach-tortilla quesadilla with sautéed seasonal vegetables and spinach enchiladas with salsa verde, black beans and Mexican rice. Diners praise the food and drinks broadly, with chicken tacos, pollo loco and chicken fajitas among the dishes mentioned.
