As I stepped into El Loro, I was greeted by a warm atmosphere and friendly smiles that instantly made me feel at home. The extensive menu offers a mouthwatering selection of dishes that cater to every palate. Allow me to highlight some of the true stars of the menu:
- Shrimp Quesadilla: A delightful blend of shrimp, cheese, green peppers, onions, and tomatoes. Accompanied by sour cream and a fresh guacamole salad, this dish is a feast for both the eyes and the taste buds. Priced at US$15.95, it is a must-try!
- Quesadilla Ranchera: For those who adore the classics, this fajita-style quesadilla packed with chicken or steak, cheese, and colorful veggies is perfect. Topped with sour cream and guacamole salad, it's enough to leave you satisfied and smiling.

But it's not just about the food; the experience speaks volumes too. Customer reviews echo my sentiments. Quinton Burkholder raves about the "amazing" food and buddy-like service, while Jr Olivares—hailing from the South Texas border—lauds the authenticity of the dishes, particularly their homemade beans, which many establishments skimp on.
Even the simplest items shine here. Sam Jezeski declares their cheese dip a game changer, while Pat Patterson expresses delight in the abundance of food that left him with leftovers to savor later. Kevin Winkler’s enthusiasm is infectious as he declares his intention to return time and again.
