Overall, Poco Loco yields a mixed set of reviews, with a lively vibe, friendly service and solid options like birria tacos and fish tacos and some standout drinks, but other dishes and moments feel bland, overpriced or unevenly executed. The gluten-free menu and staff awareness of celiac disease and cross-contamination are commonly praised, though a few comments note risks of cross-contact and some missing sauces or heat. Highlights include flavorful tacos and generous portions on certain plates, while some entrées are described as dry or underseasoned and some meals are priced steeply for the portion size. Service quality and speed vary by visit, with many noting attentive, helpful staff and others mentioning slower service. Overall, Poco Loco can deliver tasty, satisfying Mexican fare in a festive setting, but experiences vary from visit to visit and dish to dish.
We always go to Poco Loco when we are in Tremblant. Their chips & salsa/guacamole are perfect after a day of skiing. We love their chicken tacos & they havevdrink specials daily. The only shame is that they aren't busier because you need to walk around the corner to find them. Service has always been a pleasure. We have been there at least 10 times.
Went for dinner & was very disappointed - never had Mexican food that was so bland. Chips were soggy, guac & salsa were bland, quesadillas were bland were very greasy. Service was good but not coming back.

We had a really disappointing dinner, which was a surprise considering they feel justified to take credit card deposits for reservations. Food was horrible. Nachos were a plate of strange, deep-fried chips that didn't taste at all like a tortilla chip, but okay. The only toppings were cheese, a handful of black beans, & a handful of pickled jalapenos. They were cold, & the cheese wasn't melted, which was obvious because it looked like shredded cheese straight from the bag. A small side of salsa was provided, & we asked for sour cream, which they charged us for! Chicken fajitas were underwhelming - lacking flavor & heat. Kids got quesadillas, which we added chicken to for an up charge which was expected. $15 for the quesadilla, $6 for the chicken, & $4 for sides of salsa & sour cream. So our kids got $25 quesadillas which they barely touched. We also ordered fish tacos: came with fish, iceberg lettuce, & chopped cucumbers on flour tortillas. That's it. Spicy margaritas were not spicy.
Service was fine until we mentioned the nachos & the fact they charged for sour cream. Presented our surprise as feedback for the restaurant, not an indictment on the server, yet she became defensive instantly & replied with multiple variations of'I just work here, I don't make the decisions.'
The prices were absurd for the quality of food. Felt like they weren't even trying. Doubt this place will be around next year.
Nothing fancy about this restaurant. The service was very good. Drinks were pricey but I feel like they used more alcohol than normal so made up for that. Had burrito bowl & it was just ok. Pretty dry & didn't come with sour cream or salsa or anything which was weird.
The drinks were good but a bit over priced for what you get. The food is not good at all. No flavour. Fajitas didn't come with salsa or cheese, when we asked we got salsa that tasted exactly like Tostitos. The rice tasted like it was out of a bag (pre-made). Very basic. Service was not that good. Never checked on us. They were talking & eating at the bar.
Had a good dinner at Poco Loco, started with the simple nachos with salsa & guacamole, the mango margarita was really good, had the burrito birria as a main, was pretty tasty only complaint the meat was a bit dry so maybe some birria sauce on the side would have helped with it, great presentation, really appreciated the dessert, price is on par with the village cost, great dining option.
Poco Loco? More like Poco Lame-o. We were pumped to get our Mexican fix during our ski trip to Tremblant, but it ended up being a major'meh' moment. Lily, our waitress, was an absolute sweetheart - she was the real MVP here. But the food? Not so much.
We kicked things off with chips, salsa, & guac, & honestly, it felt like we were snacking on grocery store Tostitos. Like, no one told us we signed up for a Mexican food'imitation kit.' Major letdown. I ordered the birria tacos, which were... fine. Just fine. I've had better tacos from a food cart, honestly. My husband went for the chicharrón dish, & it was solid, but let's be real, it's hard to mess up fried pork.
Now, here's the kicker: my four-year-old ordered chicken with rice & beans, & it was so spicy that he nearly set his mouth on fire. The rice wasn't even Mexican rice. & the beans? Not even refried or charro. When we asked for the rice to be made less spicy & without veggies, the reply was,'It's already mixed in.' So, I guess that's a no-go.
For the price, I'd rather grab a taco from a food cart in a parking lot. Maybe next time, I'll just stick to après-ski poutine & forget this Mexican food experiment in the middle of the mountains.

This was an underwhelming experience. The cocktails were delicious & well balanced..Unfortunately the waitress made one of our guests self conscious, poking fun at him for not ordering an alcohol drink stating he was acting like an old man. Food was ok..The Birria tacos were dry, like they had been reheated, guacamole/salsa were bland, & stuffed pepper dish was good.
