" Had a delightful experience at El Loro! This was my first visit, and I can't wait to go back. The ambiance is lovely, with beautiful Mexican art decorating the walls. The service was prompt and friendly. I ordered the carne asada, and it was cooked to perfection! The flavor was rich and satisfying. My partner went with the shrimp enchiladas, which were equally delicious. The portion sizes were generous, and we both ended up with leftovers. The only minor issue was that we had to wait a little longer for our food than we expected during peak hour. Overall, a great place for a satisfying meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visiting El Loro was an overall enjoyable experience, though it did have its bumps. The atmosphere was lively, filled with the sound of laughter and conversations. My nachos were fantastic—loaded with delicious toppings, and really hearty. However, there was some inconsistency with the service as we initially felt neglected before the staff came around again. Additionally, the bathroom cleanliness could be improved. Despite this feedback, the well-prepared and authentic food was enough to make me contemplate returning. " (*Curated Review*)

" The El Loro experience left much to be desired. I came expecting authentic Mexican cuisine but my burrito was underwhelming. It was bland and didn't have the flavors that I associated with authentic Mexican food. My friends seemed to enjoy their meals, including the enchiladas and tacos, but I wonder if we just ordered wrong. Service fluctuated throughout the meal; some days were great, and others, particularly over the weekend, seem understaffed. I'd be willing to try again, as I've heard such great things, but my first impression wasn't the best. " (*Curated Review*)

" I'm a regular at El Loro, and it feels like a second home. The welcoming décor, wonderful staff, and delicious food all make for a fantastic dining experience. I usually go for the shrimp burritos, which are packed with an abundance of fillings. The environment is lively yet cozy, making it suitable for all occasions. The service can occasionally slow down during peak times, but it’s worth the wait for the authentic food they serve. I'm always satisfied when I eat here! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Loro has instantly become one of my favorite places! I love the vibrant atmosphere and the extensive menu. On my last visit, I had the pleasure of trying the pozole, and it was delicious! The flavors were on point and very comforting. I also enjoyed their margaritas—absolutely worth the hype. Our server was friendly and made excellent recommendations. One downside was the wait time for our food, which felt longer than expected. Nevertheless, the quality and taste made up for it. This place is definitely a treasure for anyone craving authentic Mexican cuisine, and I can't wait to come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I decided to try El Loro for a weekend dinner, and we were not disappointed! The ambiance was lively and welcoming, decorated with colorful Mexican art. The chips and salsa that arrived at our table were fresh and flavorful. I ordered the carnitas tacos, which were succulent and authentic, almost reminding me of my grandmother's cooking. My husband enjoyed the fajitas, which came sizzling to our table, filling the air with their delicious aroma. Service was attentive, albeit a bit slow during peak hours, but it was understandable given the busy environment. Overall, we left satisfied and will definitely return to explore more of their menu. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for an authentic Mexican dining experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for El Loro, given all the great reviews, but my experience didn't quite measure up. While the restaurant was clean and had a pleasant vibe, the food fell flat for me. I ordered the enchiladas, and although they were decent, I felt they lacked the authenticity and depth of flavor I was expecting. My friends loved their dishes, particularly the street tacos, which looked amazing. The service was decent, but we waited a bit longer than expected, especially for a weeknight. I may give it another shot, but I hope to see more consistency with the authenticity next time. " (*Curated Review*)
