the front of el lorito mexican restaurant
Spike S.

I ordered the #1 Combo and my wife had the #14 Combo. Each dinner was to have a chile relleno, along with the other items. When the plates arrived the rellenos appear to be missing. Probing under the cheese, where you think you might find a relleno, your fork recovers beans and a table spoon sized bit of green. That's it. That's all. That's your chile relleno, Bud. The most pathetic excuse for a chile relleno I have ever experienced. A pile of beans, with a sliver of poblano pepper the size of a Band-Aid strip, all covered in cheese to hide the deception. This was not a mistake in the kitchen. I have now researched old reviews, confirming that this is the way they have been making them for years. You feel ripped off after you see what they give you. An authentic relleno it is not. A sham it is. There is no value in continuing with this review, the restaurant blew it with me..... When you can't provide quality food, cover it with cheese. That is the mode of operation here! The pictures are provided for dramatization and situational enhancement of the review only and are not to be taken as an endorsement of the restaurant.

It's Taco Tuesday at El Lorito. No better place to be. Food and service as excellent as ever.

Food and service excellent as usual. Reliable place for great food. Live Street Taco Mondays and Taco Tuesdays.

Had nachos from El Lorito and they were awesome! We got them for take out. They were huge.

Called restaurant wednesday at 8:57pm and they said they closed at 9 and were not going to take my order. I informed them they needed to update online hours from 9:30pm closing. Too many Mexican Cuisine restaurant's in fort smith, Arkansas to ever think about going to this place now. Rude, never again.

Clean, fast, friendly, and great food at great prices!! What more could you want? I had the Lunch #1, chili relleno, taco, guacamole salad, choice of beans or rice, I had beans. I've been here many times, and I'll be back!

Happy campers

I've eaten a lot of Mexican food and dined at a lot of Mexican restaurants in my years as an adult…read more So far, the best I've had in the United States was all in Southern California, Arizona or Albuquerque NM. Upon moving to Arkansas, I've been on the search for a solid authentic Mexican restaurant to dine at. Tonight, my search ended. El Mariachi is absolutely amazing! Located on the south west side of Fort Smith, you get a combination of awesome tasting food, delicious drinks, a choice of different heat level salsas, and all at very reasonable prices. The staff is friendly and accommodating. I had the street taco plate, with al pastor and carnitas meats with a side of refried beans and Mexican rice - which is all made fresh daily in house. I also tend to judge a Mexican restaurant very hard on the quality of their salsa. The regular salsa is tasty, if you ask for their tomatillo salsa, it is hotter and flavorful with a hint of chipotle pepper in the background, and for those brave enough to try it, the Diablo salsa has just the right amount of heat if eaten in small amounts. I also had a top shelf margarita, which for the price point they have it at was perfectly made and enjoyed. In the end, I had to try their flan. I will state, this is probably some of, if not The best flan I've ever eaten. If you are looking for delicious, authentic Mexican food in a comfortable restaurant setting, look no further and give them a try; you won't regret it!

When I inquired about where we…read morecould get dinner somewhere close to the hotel and not a chain restaurant this place was recommended. We decided to try it and we're not disappointed. The staff was extremely friendly, all were fully masked. The tables inside for socially distance and everything was very well cleaned. My husband had the pork chili rellenos. He has had this dish in other places but nothing compares to this version. It was heavenly. The flavors were delicious. It was served with rice that was delicious and flavorful and a small bowl of beans that had some pork in it as well. He couldn't have been more pleased with the selection. I had the steak fajitas which were a large serving, and also delicious. They were served with the same wonderful rice, refried beans, and homemade flour tortillas. It was an amazing dish it also had some pico to Gallo, and fresh guacamole that was out of this world. I wish we lived closer because this would be a regular stop.

The service was wonderful. Some of the best service we've received anywhere we've eaten. The…read morerestaurant was clean and comfortable. The food was sorely lacking. Everything was either oversalted or had no taste at all. The guacamole was almost too salty to eat. The chips and salsa tasted like canned, crushed tomatoes. The food was cooked well, attractively served, looked appetizing, hot, it met all of the requirements except taste. I really dislike negative comments and remember, this is our opinion, but we were not impressed by the food.
