" On my recent visit to El Loro, I was excited by its lively atmosphere. The chips and salsa were immediately served, which set a pleasant tone for the meal. However, the service staff seemed overwhelmed leading to a longer wait for our entrees. The al pastor tacos were delightful, though. Ultimately, while the food was rich in flavor, a more attentive service would have elevated our experience significantly. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had dinner with friends at El Loro last week. The atmosphere felt cozy, perfect for our little gathering. The nachos were a hit, loaded with toppings and cheese. Then we tried the camarones yucatan which were exquisite—perfectly spiced. Unfortunately, the server was a bit dismissive at times, hence the score for service. I would suggest going there again but with lower expectations for service quality. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited El Loro hoping for a fantastic experience based on what I had heard. Unfortunately, the service was below average, but the food somewhat made up for it. I ordered the carne asada and while it was pretty good, it lacked the zing I was looking for. The atmosphere was good; I just wish theers had been more attention to serve the customers. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a family gathering at El Loro during the weekend, and I must say it was quite the experience. The chips and salsa came out quickly and were fresh which is always a good sign! My main dish was the chile relleno, which was flavorful but slightly lukewarm. The steamy atmosphere added to the ambiance but made it uncomfortable at times. However, we enjoyed our time and would visit again. Hopefully, the service improves as it was hit-or-miss. " (*Curated Review*)

" We enjoyed a birthday dinner at El Loro and had a fantastic time. The food was delicious, particularly the queso fundido, which was spicy yet satisfying. The staff was accommodating, but sometimes the service lagged. Overall, though, the experience was joyous, and I left without complaints except for wanting to try more items on the menu next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a lovely dinner at El Loro. The vibe is relaxed, which was perfect for our gathering. The menu is extensive. I had the burrito that failed to impress, but a friend's taco was delicious. My husband said his meal was top-notch. The service was friendly but could be quicker. I think I'd give it another chance but maybe during less busy hours. " (*Curated Review*)

" Overall, it was a decent dining experience at El Loro. I particularly enjoyed the chicken salads; the freshness was impressive! However, service was a ding for us. My family felt neglected as we waited long for our drinks and check. If they can sort out their service organization, it would be a much better experience. " (*Curated Review*)
