A large flour tortilla is stuffed with shredded chicken, bacon, diced tomato, a blend of Monterey Jack and cream cheese and sautéed spinach. It’s creamy and crunchy with a unique blend of flavors, a refreshing change for a quesadilla lover.
The menu launched Jan. 18 has healthy dining options and Loco’s popular stand-bys. Customers still can order the popular Loco’s Burrito stuffed with seasoned ground beef or shredded chicken, refried beans, lettuce and cheese, baked and topped with chili cheese, sour cream and green onions, as well as the Queso Dip topped with fresh diced green onions..
When I ordered off the new Loco’s menu, I stuck with my old Mexican stand-by, quesadillas, but with a new filling. The Chicken & Spinach Quesadilla is a becoming a big seller on the new menu at Loco’s.
What Rachael does suggest is “Sloppy Sliders,” or alternately “Sloppies.” “Guys, one word: Sloppies.” That is very unappealing, especially coming out of her mouth, but there was no call for her to repeat it as many times as she did. “I think what these hungry lunch-breakers are gonna be craving is some hot Sloppies, for sure. You put some Sloppies on the Sloppies’ buns, and say here you go, here are Sloppies.” It’s basically a Sloppy Joe on a small hamburger roll, but Lou Diamond Phillips decides to “Shit It Up a Notch” by making it with ground turkey. Disgusting. We can all agree that ground turkey is mostly gross. Yes, it’s a little healthier, but so is pureed balsa wood soaked in chicken broth, and you should not be making Sloppies out of that, either. Great, now I am saying Sloppies. “Sloppies” sounds like what should be written on the side of the trash can you throw FULL diapers into. “Hon, do you know if the town still recycles Sloppies, or do we just put them in the regular trash?”
“We are hopeful this menu will create a little wow environment,” said Scott Mixon, operating partner of Loco’s Tex-Mex Bar & Grill. “We’ve always been committed to Mexican, but have expanded to include a variety of hand-cut steaks, grilled seafood, pastas, sandwiches and salads.”
The herds of annoying TV diners swarm the two trucks and start eating free food. (Can a herd swarm? This one can.) Most of Dayne’s skewers are cooked poorly, and Summer’s sausage wraps have no flavor. Everybody loves the Sloppies. “I need another Sloppy Slider, please!” I am puzzled as to where they gathered up all these goobers to eat the food and give their opinions on camera “naturally.” They all yell in a strange monotone. Watching them feels like being at a publicist job fair with an open bar. Surprisingly, people go crazy for Coolio’s Soul Roll. Cheese on an egg roll: Who knew? Coolio knew.
