The employees are warm and friendly and attentive. Our food was delicious, served hot and large portions. My only reason didn't give 5 stars was there was a football game in TV and was loud. Fortunately, sound was turned down a bit later but still hard to visit with family with extra noise. I do miss the traditional Mexican music that is often played in these restaurants. Due to high prices, (its all that way now) will only make rare visits here.

Kid-friendliness: Set up for families. High chairs for babies.

Excellent food. The staff was prompt. Kind of tight with tables, but overall a very nice place.

They have ok Mexican food. My main reason for the low score is their business hours. I stopped last night at 8:50 to get dinner and was turned away because their kitchen closed at 8:30. I had just driven 40 miles looking forward to having a chimi for dinner and was told sorry kitchen is closed. I won’t be back as the food is average at best.

The waitress was incredibly rude. I’m sorry but you have a ten page menu, I don’t know what I want within ten seconds of being seated. She brought me the wrong food, my husband’s chorizo was burned to a crisp and his chicken was half raw. The waitress stood next to the table while we were signing the receipt, so rude and weird. I’ll starve before I go back.

Waiter was friendly informed us it was happy hour appetizers half off, margaritas. Food was great. Shift change waitress was rude, when we told her appetizer were half off when charged full price. Ordered 1 appetizer and meals. Waitress became angry started yelling. Young waiter tried to calm her down. Said he would honor it. Women said no tried calling waiter who told us that information as his shift was over and he had left. Young waiter and women waitress arguing in the back. Sad cause would have been amazing food and drinks were great. Definitely will not go back. If I would have known waitress would cause big scene would have paid the full price. Not worth $6 scene. I feel sorry for her coworkers.

Food was quite good. Sadly a strawberry daiquiri was served with a salted rim instead of sugar which was disconcerting, but that could have been an honest mistake. For the prices, it was a good value, large potions & even the small daiquiris & margaritas were very generous. We received plenty of chips & salsa!

The decor is odd. One side of the restaurant looks like a Mexican place & the other side looks like a sports bar, complete with football helmets & lots of TVs. It feels like maybe they haven't been able to update that side yet.

I'd return to see how they evolve.

“I had the burrito at El Loro Mexican Restaurant. The food was flavorful and well-prepared, but there was room for improvement in the service, as it felt a bit slow and inattentive at times. The atmosphere was pleasant, with a lively and welcoming vibe. Overall, a solid dining experience with great food, but the service could use some enhancement.”

First time being there and will be coming back. Food was very delicious and you can taste the seasoning in the food they cook.
