This is my first time writing a review but since I went to El Loro solely based on the review of a 9.9 I wanted to make sure that someone else doesn't make the same mistake. \r

It was very loud which most Mexican places are but so loud it was hard to concentrate on the conversation my boyfriend and I were having. We asked our server for water three times and never got it. Every time we asked she smiled and said of course but she never brought it to us. I have been a server before and I would have liked to give her the benefit of the doubt and say she was really busy but we could see her standing around and talking to the other employees. Finally we asked a bus boy and he brought us water right away. Unfortunately it was warm so I couldn?t drink it. The alcohol drinks came really fast but I had asked for a daiquiri and got a margarita. Fortunately it was good enough tequila that I could drink it. The food was good. Nothing spectacular. My boyfriend ordered a bean and beef burrito, but there were no beans and it was ground beef not shredded. Any good Mexican restaurant has shredded beef. The enchiladas were very good. When it was time to leave our server brought me a box to gather up my leftovers but neglected to leave a bill. She never ended up bringing it to us she had someone else. \r

Overall it was fine. The service left a lot to be desired but the food was okay. I worry that I am being a little harsh since I did have high expectations because it had such a high rating. I think a 7.5 is more realistic and I would never have tried it had it been accurately rated. If you decide to go just make sure there are little to no expectations. I would not go again.
Pros: Margarita
Cons: Service, Ambience
