Great food and excellent service. Orders always come out quickly. Very reasonably priced for the large portions. have never had a bad meal at any El Loro Mexican Grill! Very highly recommend!

Ordered takeout from this location and it was good, although next time we would rather dine-in so the food doesn't have to make the journey home. The beef chimichangas were good but the steak was lacking in quality. It was a bit chewier than I would have expected. I'm no steak expert so I'm not sure of the exact cut used but next time I would opt for the chicken instead. That said, the order was ready very quickly, and the flavors were still on point. The queso dip was excellent as well. Bonus points for the Elvis impersonator we saw on the patio while picking up our order! Apparently the band is there 5pm - 8pm every Friday so we will plan our next visit around that.

This is the first time I’ve been here. I would take this over El Loro based on quality for sure. I had a burrito California and ask them to add french fries inside. It was great. The margarita was not skimping alcohol either. Very good. I would definitely recommend.

I ordered over the call and it was quick and easy i expected the food to be good but when i picked it up it wasn't this looks homemade to me but i liked how the girl that helps me did good with my order cos i only got one quesadilla ;(

Good food as always. I had the Fajitas Tropical. Was a little disappointed that it did not come served on the sizzling cast iron plate, but was still delicious.I hope they bring back that soon as it adds to the flavor and the experience.

Had a reservation for 11 people, got there early and they told us it would be 15min. They avoided me after initial check in, 30min. Later when the host finally came out of the back again I asked what was up, their reply was simply sorry busy. When we checked the tables they were all full and there was no way we were getting in. I said we were leaving and not ever coming back they said OK. They should never have taken a reservation, they had no intention of honoring.

Hadn’t been here in a couple years…Recognized some staff so they must have a loyal team. They’re all so nice. I felt like a regular because they just treat everyone like a relative who just got into town. Service is crazy good. I ordered a meal that was way too big and Alex - (must be the manager) came over and walked me through how to split it with the family the way they intend, how to get it home and reheat it etc. Didn’t even mention the food yet - so good. Chips will creep up on you and you’ll have 100 too many, if the words “meat juice” mean anything to you’ll be happy. I thought the bill was a mistake but it’s just actually priced really reasonably. Go there!

This has been our go to Mexican restaurant for a few years, so I hate writing this. We tried going there tonight, and we waited about 30 minutes before we ended up walking out. We got there around 8pm, were seated/given chips and salsa, but then nothing. Waitstaff kept walking right past the table with no acknowledgement of us. I understand staffing in a pandemic is brutal, but there were 4 people working and walking around the restaurant (with about 6 seated tables), so I don’t think this was a staffing issue. It’s sad because the food has always been great, if you can get it.
