If you’ve spent any time in Maine you know that some of the best food in the New England (if not the entire country!) is made right here. Of course, there’s the seafood. But there are plenty of other delicious options you’ll find from Kittery to The County. Today’s Mexican spot is located just off the road and, while it’s fairly large, you might not stop if you don’t know what’s inside. Check it out and make a plan to visit the next time you’re in the area!

Loco Coco Tacos is located in, what looks like, a converted garage. While it might not be a showstopper from the outside, it’s what’s inside that matters most.

But, it’s the tacos you’re here for! Including these Barbacoa and BBQ tacos.

Loco Coco was started back in 2004 when Luis and Ramona Valdez moved to the east coast from San Diego. Not being able to shake the desire for real, authentic Mexican food they created their own place to find it!

What started as a small one room walk up counter is now the large cantina you’ll find a bit off-the-beaten-path.

There’s another unassuming little spot in Maine that we love. They’ve made a name for themselves with a certain gigantic lobster roll that you’ll definitely want to check out.
