The staff are friendly and attentive. Food was out quick and tasted good. Restaurant was on the colder side so bring a sweater or jacket.

Honestly speaking, the chicken meat are a bit dried and the beef is not tender, but over all not bad at all. It's a nice place to hang out.

The food was a disaster. It was not tasty or seeming fresh. The rice was lukewarm. Do yourself a favor and go anywhere else.

Ok, so they have incredible tacos. Like, they should be on TV. Just try the carnitas, best pulled-pork I have had in a long time. Quality. Also the Carne Asada had this really tasty, not too spicy, sauce. Tremendous. Apparently they have a new chef and they are adding a lot more to the menu. I don't really care that they have other locations, the quality did not feel like it came from a chain.

I went here Sunday 8/27 with my sister, the waitress was amazing the food was great I enjoyed the music and the environment. I plan on going back for my birthday in a few weeks. Hopefully their drinks are good too. They do offer vegetarian options and the Elote is delicious. Changing my review I came back on 9/2 the cups were dirty the waitress took them gave us new cups that were also dirty , the food was disgusting I had the same thing as last time and it was so awful my sister had the steak fajita which was rubbery we paid the check and left did not finish our food. Will not come back. I feel sick.
Vegetarian options: They can make most meals vegetarian
Parking: Spacious parking lot

We just ate at Lobo Loco, and our waiter Christian made our experience absolutely wonderful. His smile was so welcoming, he was honest and helpful when choosing our dinner, and was so kind and attentive. We hope to come back and have Christian be our waiter again soon!

Edit (updated Aug, 2023): Gave this place another chance since my last review because I wanted to try their spicy margarita, I mean, they can’t mess that up, right? Thankfully, the bartender (Dana, I think was her name) knew how to make a tasty margarita; she also took our order (sat in bar area). I wasn’t planning to order the tacos again based on my last experience which prompted my original review. My friend with her big mouth decided to tell the bartender about my first experience with the fish tacos. Bartender assured us this time it would be different because they apparently have new chefs in house. At opening (when I tried them), bartender informed us they had different chefs and admitted food wasn’t up to standard. My friend asked if they’d comp the tacos if I didn’t like them (lol)…and surprisingly bartender agreed! I ordered two Baja fish tacos and one shrimp taco. Both were 100x better than my first experience (whew)!!! Fish was fluffy and crispy, shrimp were big and grilled to perfection. Flavor for both were on point, meaning they included the right amount of seasoning for my taste (not too salty, not too bland). Also ordered the calamari, which was only okay, slightly chewy, could have been more crispy. Friend ordered the chicken quesadilla which she liked (flavorful, big portion size). Service by all was excellent.Original review:I so so wanted to like this place because it’s close to where I live. Ordered shrimp tacos and baja fish tacos for take out. Shrimp tacos were just okay, not bad, but nothing to brag about either. The Baja fish tacos were absolutely horrid, and I mean the worst I’ve ever tasted. One strip of breaded SOGGY —SAHHH-GGGEEEYYY—- soft fish stick thrown on the bottom of the flour taco topped with tons of shredded carrots and pickled red onions, ughhh, so gross! American pubs who serve fish tacos cook them better. For $5.50 PER TACO (yes, ONE taco), I’m expecting crispy, flavorful fish tacos. Front desk person was nice so the star was for her.

Food was terrible. Cleanliness not good. Place is in disarray. No toilet paper in any stalls in the bathroom. Go over to Sofia Taqueria on Amboy Rd for great service, food and cleanliness.

The service is great! But the food is just awful, no flavor at all. And the drinks taste watered down.
