on Citysearch May 25, 2009The food there is very good. The service on the other hand is horrible, half the people don't speak english, they charge you 3 dollars for an extra little cup of sour cream,salsa,or guacamole.They act like some one... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 30, 2008If you want someone to ask you how you want your meat then you don't want real authentic Mexican food. I don't usually go out for Mexican food since I can get it at my mom's, but when my husband & I want to go out we go to El... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 28, 2007You could always go to Don Pablos and get some americanized mexican food or you could try some real authentic mexican at El Loro in Savage. My wife and I go there and can both eat a great authentic meal, I can get a big dos xx... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 23, 2007As a big fan of Mexican food, it's nice to have a number of options in the southern suburbs. El Loro in Savage is one of the better Mexican places I've been to overall. The variety of food and taste is on par with just about... (more)

on Citysearch May 31, 2007I title this as disappointed because that is exactly what I felt upon leaving the restaurant. I had been dying to go to this place for at least 5 years based on all of the good comments but left with dissatisfaction.... (more)

on Citysearch Apr 14, 2007This 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. It was very loud which most Mexican places are... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 25, 2006Definitely not like the "Tex Mex" you get at other Twin Cities joints....Don Pablos is definitely not in the same league. Try the Queso Fundido (melted cheese & chorizo served with tortillas). They could have used... (more)

on Citysearch Sep 17, 2006Very adverage, authentic environment, but the food was the best I have had since moving from California. My wife and I had dinner for two that could have fed 4. Service was unassuming and fantastic. I asked for hot... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 23, 2006<b>In Short<br></b>The local regulars have their favorites: carne asada, enchiladas poblanos. Yet those new to this ever-popular cantina can down an entire Corona before getting through the lengthy menu.... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 13, 2006Transplanted from the South, being a big fan of authentican Mexican put me on the hunt for an experience similar to that I've left behind. Having tried several other resturants in the metro area, so far El Loro is by... (more)

on Citysearch Dec 07, 2005This is one of the best places for Tex-Mex north of the Mason-Dixon line. Felt I should enter this rating to better reflect the quality found at EL Loro. If you like really good and flavorable Mexican food - check this... (more)

on Citysearch May 09, 2005A gold mine of a find in the Northland. We moved up from Texas 9 years ago and this is the best place we have found, and we have tried most everywhere. Good Tex Mex is hard to find up here. This place is real Tex Mex food. And it... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 29, 2003Was up in Savage visiting a friend of mine (tell Evan Church hi) and he took me here....Man was it great. As good or better than most of the places here and the service was a definite TEN. Thanx folks, Marty in Texas... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 14, 2002The food is great home style Mexican fare, and the jumbo Texas Margaritas are EIGHT BUCKS, but you only need three of them! OK, two will put you under the table. The atmosphere is very bright, and somewhat loud and... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 12, 2002I spent 7 weeks along the Texas border eating in just about every Mom & Pop mexican joint I could find because the food was fantastic and the value was impossible to beat. El Loro is all of that! It's the most authentic,... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 12, 2002My husband and I eat at or take out El Loro at least once a week. We are regulars at the Coon Rapids location. If we do not eat there we have to drive MILES to dine anywhere but a CHAIN. We are very picky. We like AUTHENTIC... (more)
