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.
Super bon! Nous avons été merveilleusement accueilli par les serveurs & leur service était impeccable, même chose pour la cuisine! Les assiettes sont énormes sans pour autant finir par tomber sur le coeur. Vraiment une belle découverte :)

Les entrees sont bonnes. Repas correct, flanc de porc manque d'assaisonnement. Serveur sympatique toutefois le service pourrait etre ameliore (remplir les verres d'eau, propose un autre verre, etc)
Moi & mon copain sommes allés & nous nous sommes assis au bar. L'ambiance est super, la nourriture & les drinks étaient très bons. Merci tout spécial à Alex & Émilya qui ont été supers, nous avons discutés longuement avec eux ça a fait notre soirée. Je recommande !
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.

The worst meal I've had in a long time. The server was rude & the fajitas tasted like they were made from frozen veggies with no seasoning. Wish we just went hungry.
Absolutely loved our experience at Poco Loco. It's a small Mexican restaurant in the village & my husband & I stumbled upon it & couldn't be happier when we finished. Our service Lilly was outstanding, very friendly & gave us recommendations on our food & we got the Birria tacos she recommended & OMG, I would drive the 7 hours it took us to get here just for them.
10/10 would recommend & if you get Lilly as your servicer, your experience will be even better. Enjoy!
