Loco Coco Tacos in Kittery, Maine has earned a well-deserved reputation for its refreshing California-inspired twist on Mexican cuisine. Fans of Mexican cuisine seeking something just a shade out of the ordinary frequently choose this local eatery for their dining pleasure. Those who come here will be impressed by this restaurant’s emphasis on fresh, local ingredients which add up to a distinctive, tantalizing array of dishes that are both healthy and sure to please. For example, lard is absent from their refried beans while locally grown cilantro is a mainstay of their diverse menu selections.

Affordability is also a key–a typical, well-portioned meal for two can be had for less than $30. Menu highlights include the tia margarita fish burrito with crisp, beer-battered boneless fish, avocado sauce, fresh salsa and shredded cabbage; enchiladas con mole consisting of three corn tortillas rolled with chicken, beef or cheese topped with a spicy Mexican chocolate sauce, fresh salsa, dry ricotta cheese and sour cream; and the chicken burrito with marinated, char-grilled chicken. A gluten-free menu is also featured. After frolicking on the nearby Maine beaches or enjoying a day of shopping at the Kittery Outlets, Loco Coco Tacos offers something tasty and delicious for everyone.
