El Loco Mexican Cafe
At El Loco we endeavor to bring Albany a melting pot of styles and tastes from various regions of Mexico and the Latina influenced Southwest USA. We serve Mexican food that is healthy to eat. We use fresh chiles, non irradiated spices and dried chiles from a Spice cooperative, our tortillas are lard-free, and we fry and saute in 100% vegetable oil. All of our food is vegetarian unless it specifically states on our menu that it contains meat or poultry and our beans are vegan. We cook with nutritionally superior brown rice, use only fresh Hass variety avocados in our guacamole, and utilize meat and poultry cooking methods that render our final product lower in fat than any other methods. We use only the best ingredients available, and never compromise quality.
