We ordered the crab meat appetizer, then tacos and finally the tenderloin steak. Overall Loco is an amazing place to go. It was top notch food with high quality service as well. Overall amongst all items we orders I loved the tacos alot, especially the prawn one. So tacos is must try.

The food is exceptional and the service time is pretty good considering the quality that they have. Amazingly, drinks are one of a kind too. Its a rare sight to have a restaurant that delivers on all fronts with utmost excellence.

Crazy Expensive and amazingly small restaurant. I mean not everything expensive is good. The Pizza was good but rest was OK.The size of restaurant just took off one star and the price took another.Even expensive than Canada.Parking issue is also main problem. I mean you pay so much and you have parking issue, sitting issue, wash room issue but the Food is just fine.Wont recommend but good to try out once at least

Went there the other night, ordered the two different ceviche dishes, the shrimp tapas, a pizza and the stuffed mushrooms. It was all incredible !! The flavors are all on point and they haven’t bastardized their menu with chicken tikka tapas. This place is in my top 5, right up there with Okra and Sakura. Accepted card and honestly were 9/10 across the board. Highly recommended !! The pizza with shaved meat, arugula and truffle oil was awesome

Servers were good. Menu was below average. Not enough description. Very very expensive things. Tiger prawns were excellent. Starters were average. 3 milk cake was good. All in all not a good experience. Prices were double than normal.

Went for dinner last night.We ordered the garlic shrimps(yummy and oily), the Lorna asada (beautifully prepared) and the seaweed taco(an absolute winner)The winner tonight was definitely the seaweed taco, unusual and very yummy.Had the tres leche cake which was also good .Some people who were talking loudly behind us were annoying because the place is so tiny. Otherwise a solid experience

A small Spanish restaurant. Table space is too crammed if youve ordered more than one main course. Staff was courteous but could be more professional. Parking space is available. Churros were good and mutton ribs as well. However, pizza was average.

What a wonderful experience! Few things to know: its expensive, its small (so either go for weekday lunch, or book a table in advance), the staff is great, the food is amazing. I loved everything but my favourite was the seafood taco starter - fantastic!

A small but very good Spanish/Mexican restaurant in town. Good service and food. No walk-in customers accepted so make sure that you book your table in advance. 1.50hours per customer per table. Enjoy the pics below!

A small cosy restaurant with a diverse menu. The service was really good and the restaurant is small and quiet which makes it a really good place for working lunch or dinners. Really enjoyed the food and would definitely go back again!

The only reason why this place earned a 3 rating was because of the ambiance. Its cute and cozy, i absolutely loved the interior decor and the overall aesthetic of the place.Unfortunately as an eatery, Loco falls short - wayy short.A couple of extremely hungry people, we were so excited to have an out of this world culinary experience -what we got was the two of us trying and miserably failing in justifying having spent 6k on subpar food.We ordered the potata bravas, crab and cheese dip for starters, chicken quesadillas, beef steak and chimmichurri sandwich, and beef tacos for the mains and Tres Leches cake for dessert. For drinks we just ordered water and a Lemon Mojito.Of all the food we ordered, only the potata bravas was worth the money or even worth eating. The crab and cheese dip was an absolute horror. The smell of fish was so strong it made the dip almost unpalatable. Still ate a little bit so as not to waste it but what a terrible decision that was - it gave us the most horrible stomach ache (and im certain it was that only because there wasnt anything else that we ate). The quessadillas though good in taste were so oily, they were dripping all over the place. The beef steak and chimmichurri sandwich was a sad excuse of a sandwich - also that chimmichurri does not deserve to be called that. Nowhere near close to actual chimmichurri.The beef tacos redeemed the restaurants reputation somewhat but it was too little too late. I will say though, Loco served one of the best sour cream dips ive had in a while.The lemon mojito was almost like drinking straight up lemon juice - which is quite unfortunate.The dessert, the tres leches cake was so dense and dry that it didnt feel like a three milk cake at all.To sum it up - i didnt like the place and i dont think il be going again anytime soon.

Great addition to Karachis food scene. Loco serves great tasting Spanish food which one cannot generally find at restaurants here. Also their churros are to die for! Be sure to make a reservation beforehand as the place is quite small and so gets full quite easily.

A cute Mexican spot with deconstructed tacos and a painting of Frida Kahlo. It does not allow smoking, alcohol, or children under 13(after 8). You can expect to spend between 1500-2000 pkr per person. It is quite small so reservations should be made in advance.

I had the opportunity to visit Loco Restaurant and satisfy my craving for a delicious, juicy steak. Guess what? The steak was full of flavours, had a balanced spice level and was up to my expectations. However, the issue of space was a turn off for me. The restaurant was very congested, to the extent that it was difficult to get out of our chairs. What do you think? Do you prioritize comfortable seating too, along with good food?

Review №20

I went in there with curiosity that if this small little joint has been surviving in this posh locality then it must have something good there, and sure enough truly amazing culinary experience. The variety and temptation in starters alone makes you want to skip the main course although main course in itself are appetizing and stand out. The detials to ingredients, balance of flavor, technique and temperature along with presentation are marvelous. The only thing that puts you off is that they have a bit cramped seating area and few tables. Dessert menu is lack luster. Tried their 1) Gambas Al Aljillo Prawns in Garlic Chili sauce, 2) Goats Cheese and Onion Jam BocadilloMelted goats cheese on a bed of onion jam, 3) lomo Asado sliced tenderloin with chimichurri and Brazilian vinaigrette, 4) Wagu Rib steak Seared rib eye steak with roasted potatoes and salad and all four were delicious and at par with authentic Tex Mex flavors.

A lovely small place in Bukhari. Getting a reservation to this place is very hard but we walked in late around 10pm and still found a seat. The service was amazing as the waiters were nice and responsive always. The food was delish. We only tried the chicken but it was quite juicy and tender. I am surely going to go back and try something new! I just wish it were bigger because the tight space means youll be surrounded with a lot of noise and may not get seats if you arrive at a primetime.

Interior is beautifully designed . However tables are arranged too closely. it can get crowded occasionally. Reservations are not always needed but may occasionally be required on weekends. Service was quick and meal was served in time. Food looked visually appealing and tasted good. I strongly recommend you to try their Spanish omelet.

Good Spanish food. Among the things we ordered, I found tacos and churros the best. The menu is on a pricier side but one can dine here in a reasonable price too if the order ia decided smartly.

Morning, post call and hunger.. what else calls for a marvellous breakfast. By far one of the best breakfast places in Karachi.There complimentary bun had butter which had that garlic taste in it that really got the deal done just at the start. I asked for that butter thrice.We ordered- Huevos Rancheros Tacos- Spanish breakfast- High fiber orange juiceAnd everything was spot on.Overall an amazing experience.

Spanish..and a tad Mexican..all tapas very good and presented beautifully..had you gone a little extra all would be excellent..pedazos de Pollo needed more filling..stuff mushrooms would have been excellent had it been portobello..goats cheese onion jam bocadillo also required more jam..beef ceviche.. excellent..beef steak taco was okay..should have been served after the tapas and guacamole without avocado??.tres leches cake..had better at Patio..Beef with you is quantity..with your prices..increase quantity to make it worthwhile for us too..

Review №38

Limited menu. Not exactly Spanish except for a few starters. Wagyu Beef is not one what would expect here but I am guessing they wanted to make it more appealing. Steaks are pricey and i didnt try them because i wouldnt have 70USD steaks at a place called Loco. That said the quesidillas and the tacos were good if a bit pricey but this is Bokhari so we sort of expect that now. Small place therefore usually full on weekends.

Review №53

Over pricey but the food was decent. The seating space is slightly congested so not wheelchair friendly. Food for tasty but far from genuine Spanish food. One can day it is Spanish food with a desi touch. Service was good. However, book in advance for Friday lunch as it tends to get filled quick due to limited seating.

Review №54

What an amazing experience. The food was delicious. Like the kind of food you wish never finished. The staff is good too and the service is quite efficient. Taste is amazing so is quality of cooking. The few downsides to this place are probably space. Its a bit congested and the tables are too close to each other. Secondly its the prices. The food is a little overpriced. And finally the menu, which is not only limited in options, but also a little hard to understand for the common folk since the descriptions arent that easy to understand. But overall a worth it experience and a must try

One of the best places to eat by far. Its not very spacious but has a great ambience and the quality of food makes up for the lack of space. They have awesome drinks and if you are a meat lover this is the place. Bit expensive according to some but worth every penny!. Usually theres a wait here. Get a reservation or get in que.

Review №57

This was definitely a nice place. The food had great ideas but some of the things got a bit samey. The ceviche and fish tacos for instance used the same overpowering wasabi marinade. Sometimes the spice was not cut by any fat; a sin in hispanic cuisine. The service was definitely bad, even if polite. The place was overstaffed if anything but the servers would still need to be told multiple times to do something and give no notification on delays. You will enjoy a lot of the food here, but alot of the culinary choices will leave you puzzled and turned off

Review №61

Went there for lunch. Ordered Calamari, Prawns and Crab stuffed mushrooms. Calamari was above average and so were the mushrooms. The shrimp/prawns were over-cooked and chewy. Shellfish is really easy to do, but also really easy to F up, so unsurprisingly, most places dont get it right. Its literally a matter of overcooking it by 60-90 seconds, and you can go from a nice juicy prawn/shrimp to a rubbery piece seafood.Mains: Dos Tacos - Im a taco guy. Tacos all day, every day and Im happy. They pulled the beef brisket tacos off fairly well. The tortillas were pretty good too. Might serve them a bit better to toast/grill them on one side like they do on pretty much any taco cart or truck. The pizza Bianca was also ok. The crust was a bit floppy. Look, good pizza ALWAYS starts with the crust. A great pizza should look like its been struck by lightning. Thats why the best pizzas come out of brick ovens where the temps are in excess of 950 F. Those pizzas are cooked in about 4-6 minutes. If they get this right, then theyd have a great product because the rest of the ingredients and flavors of the pizza were pretty darn good.Service was above average for most places in Pak, although my idea of good service is a bit different, but Im not going to get into that just yet.Over all, pretty good experience. Nice casual ambiance (please keep the music volume a bit lower. Was hard to have a conversation at times). Small, but nicely done inside.Will definitely be coming back again.

I liked the facility but not the food; we ordered pizza (I dont actually remember its name since it was ordered by a friend), Pasta (which had prawns and stuff and the friend who ordered it liked it somewhat), and I ordered beef steak which was good in quantity but blend since I took it for iftar after fasting whole day, managed to eat about half of it but later realised it to be blend with the confirmation of a friend also checking it out. Thankfully, it was even then replaced by the server sue to our complain but the replacement of chicken pasta acted a little sour so I had to carry it home. Pizza was good though but overall experience wasnt satisfactory. Not at all recommended unless you try something else on the menu.

My sister pizza came after I finished my food.The churro and chocolate was good . Overall I don’t think will go again it is overly hyped nothing extraordinary for which they are charging so much ! 6 medium prawns served with with 3 small garlic bread for 850 + tax is too much .
