" El Loro won me over! From nachos to their various tacos, everything felt like a genuine experience. The service could have been a bit faster during peak hours, but they were friendly nonetheless. I'm also a fan of their cocktails, which were refreshing. I would recommend this restaurant for its authenticity and tasty offerings. " (*Curated Review*)

" The best part of my visit to El Loro was the enchiladas; they were heavenly! Though the waitstaff seemed overwhelmed and the service was slow—which was disappointing—it didn't take away from the amazing food. If you're hungry for authentic Mexican food, definitely drop by here. Just be patient as the food is worth the wait! " (*Curated Review*)

" Dining at El Loro was a delightful experience. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and there's something for everyone on the menu. I ordered the mixed fajitas to share, and they were fabulous! My friends enjoyed their meals too, but we all noticed that service could be faster. Still, it was a great night out, and I would recommend this place for casual dining. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a pretty decent meal here. The location was adorable and easy to find. However, the service left a bit to be desired. We had to chase after our drinks, and it took too long for our orders to arrive. Even with the delays, the tacos were delightful and authentic, but next time, I’d urge for faster service. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at El Loro was simply outstanding! I have tried several Mexican restaurants but this one truly stood out. The carne asada was grilled to perfection, with a rich flavor that reminded me of my last trip to Mexico. The atmosphere was lovely as well, with vibrant colors and a friendly vibe. It was a bit busy, but the service was attentive enough to keep it enjoyable. I'll definitely be returning very soon. A must-try! " (*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*)
