We had a great night here recently. I was truly surprised, as I'd been to Lobo a couple of times two years ago and resolved never to go back due to lackluster, limp food and indifferent service. Maybe there's a new chef, a new waitstaff, a new owner? Don't know but we loved it. Friendliest, most helpful service ever (all the waiters were attentive to every table, not just to their own) the kitchen paid perfect attention to our various requests (one no dairy, one extra cheese, we're those kind of customers) everything came quickly, served hot, super generous portions, but not gloppy, really crisp and fresh. It's still more Tex than Mex - don't go for an authentic Mexican meal, but for satisfying amerimexican food in a welcoming setting, this was perfect. Will definitely go back, glad I gave it a second chance. Cheers, Lobo.

The first time I came to Lobo I was so excited to have a new mexican in the neighborhood... raised in LA, I am an addict. Well, I could have cried. A person could get better Mexican going to Key Food and buying the ingredients off the Ortega shelf and cooking taco meat from an envelope, shells from a box and refried beans from a can... The second time I went I was desperate for a snack and everything tasted much better after three of their not bad margaritas... The Mexicans out of the dining room and into the kitchen! I can't believe the ratings people are giving this place. Lobo is to Mexican what the shopping mall is to chinese.... pre-fab.

Kept meaning to post this -- went a few months ago with my boyfriend and had margaritas and 'ceviche tacos.' I obviously shouldn't have ordered those but hey, fool me once. The server didn't know what ceviche is -- what it was, Lobo-style, was overcooked (but not in lime juice or another acid) fish with cooking water in a limp, dissolving tortilla. The margaritas were weak. Absolutely terrible. You will do better at Calexico, Rachel's, Los Pollitos, etc. -- anywhere else. I think it's a place to drink by the bucket, and feel like you're partying or some such, not a place to actually eat food.

Just go and try it yourself. You won't be dissapointed. The maragritas are made super fresh. XX beers are served in a classic hand blown type pint glass. Chips and salsa are great. Really enjoyed the enchiladas the first time. I split the fajitas the second. Really tasty tex-mex but very well done!

I went to lobo b/c i saw queso on their menu. I'm from texas and i LOVE queso but it's hard to find in these parts. What they serve as queso is definitely not what you would ever get in a tex-mex restaurant in texas. i am actually convinced they served me really thick broccoli and cheese soup. if you are from texas, you will be disappointed by what they call queso. The rest of their tex-mex food was pretty good though. their mac and cheese is TO DIE FOR. it's the best i've EVER had. Order that and you will not be disappointed although you may not be able to walk afterwards. The service was amazing. That being said, there were not many people in the restaurant. Just FYI: The seats are backed with cowhide (hair attached) and the chandeliers are made of antlers. If random animal parts throughout the restaurant are going to make you queasy, you may not enjoy eating there.

knowledgable and sweet (also kinda cute) server helped us pick what to eat, as everything looked so good we had a hard time deciding...anyways it was awesome, loved every second of it, will be back for sure.

The food was poor. For example the bean dip was all queso and water. I ordered the chicken tacos, and even though the menu claimed they came with cheese, sadly there was no cheese. My wife ordered the enchiladas, and they were skimpy in all the wrong ways. I though maybe this was an isolated incident, but he couple sitting beside us had the same complaints. Poor food. I don't recommend this place at all.
