El Loco Mexican Cafe is a cherished Albany tradition, offering an authentic and healthy Mexican dining experience since 1983. What sets us apart is our commitment to bringing you the best of Mexico and the Latina influenced Southwest USA. Our menu features a melting pot of styles and tastes from various regions, all prepared with fresh and high-quality ingredients.

At El Loco, we prioritize your well-being by serving food that is both delicious and healthy. We use fresh chiles, non-irradiated spices, and lard-free tortillas. Our cooking methods are designed to reduce fat content, making our dishes lower in fat than others.

We offer vegetarian and vegan options, as well as nutritionally superior brown rice and guacamole made with fresh Hass avocados. Thanks to the support of our loyal customers, we were awarded the title of Best Mexican in the Capital Region by the Times Union. Located at 465 Madison Ave, Albany, NY, we are open from Tuesday to Saturday, 11:30 am to 8:30 pm.
