Napkin holder
Jana M.

Excellent service with charming and clean interior. Prices are fairly reasonable and the margarita was fantastic. I had fish tacos (3) which is not on the menu. I selected grilled sea bass and it was fresh. My husband had fish fillet (sea bass) prepared in butter, garlic, and chilli threads. Both meals were outstanding.

Coconut shrimp

Great food and great service on Christmas Day. Pretty decorations and music. Definitely will go back next time I'm in town.

We didn't make it here on our first visit to Loreto, so we made a point to go there the first night on a recent trip since a lot of people recommended it. We had 6 people (2 were small kids) and were able to make a reservation through Facebook. They were ready for us as we walked in. They were very nice and immediately asked if we wanted chips and salsa or guac. We said yes. While the guac was good, they ended up bringing us 2 orders, and we got charged for both. We didn't need 2 orders, so just make sure you specify how many order before they bring it. Overall, while they were friendly, and there was a charming ambiance, it was our most expensive meal of the trip, and food and margaritas were just ok. I am glad we checked it out, but we would probably skip it next time.

Chile Rellenos - substituted avocado for rice ;)
Julia K.

No idea how there are so many positive reviews for this place. It's just so mediocre. The service was spotty. I ordered chile rellenos no rice add avocado and all of a sudden guacamole shows up at my table. Not mine. But after the expediter left it on my table for a moment, from my waving and gesturing "not mine," finally then picked it up and took it to the right table - oh dear. Food itself was just not great. It had no flavor whatsoever and the chile relleno batter was oily and soggy. Sure, I can't do a lot of spice, but there was no zip at all. I find it hard to believe that the sauce on the entrée was made in house. It really tasted out of a can. When it came time to pay the check, the food wasn't even on the check. I had to point it out. Duh. Also, did not feel that the placemats and napkin holder was sanitary. There were some stains and it just looked shabby. Flies kept buzzing over and landing on my table or my food if I wasn't fanning them away. It also was a bit pricey, for what was really unremarkable food. On the positive, it's a nice shady patio and they allow dogs. TL/dr: Not terrible but not at all noteworthy.

Enchiladas en Salsa Roja, arroz blanco, frijoles
Kathryn F.

La comida aquí es más bien para turistas, completamente desabrida. Se me figuraba a comida en una cafetería institucional. Peor tantito, el jovencito no me escuchó bien y me trajo pescado en salsa de mango en vez de coco. Cómo no había probado ninguno de lis dos platillos, no sabía que era, pero el sabor del mango me dio asco. El jovencito siguió insistiendo que yo había pedido mango, que jamás hubiera hecho. No quería discutir. Otro mesero ofreció arreglar el asunto, pero se me quitaron las ganas de comer. Las verduras no tenían sabor a nada. La salsa picante tampoco tenía mucho sabor. Mi esposo dijo que las enchiladas estaban más o menos. El arroz y los frijoles estaban bien preparadas. El ambiente es agradable y parece que los demás clientes disfrutan mucho de las bebidas alcohólicas y la comida. No nos gustó para nada.

We stopped by this local restaurant in Loreto Mexico where the food was good but not as amazing as I would have liked. However I am likely biased as I grew up eating latin food. However the service was incredible. The ambiance was also great, with a lively and vibrant atmosphere that made us feel right at home. Overall, it was an amazing dining experience that I would recommend to anyone looking for authentic Mexican cuisine.

Crab enchiladas with green & red sauce.
Jwana T.

Friendly service. Chicken empanadas, crab enchiladas with rice & beans, chip with salsa & the best guacamole. Absolutely no complaints from the table, the food is delicious! Let's not talk about the Cadillac margarita . Only thing i would ask is less ice so I wouldn't have to order two...lol. The place is open air with a palapa in back.

Lunch special- seabass and shrimp
Robert S.

Wow! One of the best specials I've ever had...jumbo shrimp wrapped with bacon and fresh seabass in butter and garlic. Amazing coconut shrimp! Fantastic accompanying sauces. Quaint, outdoor setting with lots of shade and privacy. Plates are all hand made. If you're in Loreto, definitely worth the visit.

Menu

Now in a new location just across from the old spot. Beautiful shaded patio dining in the back so minimum street noise. Excellent food. Excellent Coconut shrimp with a mango sauce and red enchiladas were very good. Frijoles charros which you don't see everywhere. Highly recommend

Margarita which was 4 parts ice and one part margarita

Had the flank steak nachos which were totally Gringo. I have had more authentic Mexican food where I live. Ambiance was so so as the restaurant shares a chain link fence with a day care or school with screaming 5 yr olds. They do play loud music that drowns out the school yard. Margaritas were about $9 and all ice. We go to Loreto very often and although I saw good reviews on Yelp and another review site, my experience was no so great.

Omelette with poblano sauce
Lois C.

Food was excellent - get something with their famous poblano sauce or the cilantro sauce if you like cilantro. We went here for brunch and dinner on several occasions. Service is good as well and it's a nice outdoor place with plenty of shade. Most tables are in close proximity to one another and people were always friendly at nearby tables. Fish dishes were fresh and the portions were good. Combo plates were very large - American sized as they say.

Scott P.

Nice environment Good food - not great food. It's a bit of a "max profit" environment vs a genuine local restaurant. We especially enjoyed the Guacamole with chips and salsa (which we didn't order, but were charged for)... but appreciated the high quality fresh guacamole preparation. Happy to pay, just prefer to order our own apps. Always pushing the highest priced entrees ... that's my experience from just one visit today. 400 pesos for a lunch fish special ... well you get my drift. Weak Service when our female staff member headed home at 3pm. Great service when she was working. Margs started great, then slowly deteriorated by the third cocktail. Could be a changing bartender etc I would say "good, not great." Pricey and opportunistic with pricing. Low value but a nice experience overall... Prob won't return any time soon I've cream and fruit bars next door are "amazing!!)

The bar where the fantastic drinks were made.
Randy H.

This was a nice spot to have lunch and take in the local culture. There was a very laid back vibe and the food was awesome! The waiter was friendly and made sure we were taken care of. We highly recommend this place.

Reliably good food and service. The poblano sauce is the best in town. Eddie is an excellent host.

Very good - best we went to in Loreto. Somehow we didn't find a lot of good margaritas but Orlando's was good - a lot of ice but good.

El Rey del Taco - Fish and asada tacos

El Rey Del Taco in Loreto is an absolute gem. The food was incredible -- fresh, flavorful, and made…read moreright in front of you. The tacos were loaded with perfectly cooked meat, grilled onions, fresh pico, and then you get to hit the little salsa station to top it exactly how you like it. Great variety and just the right amount of heat. And the pescado... unreal. It was so amazing I didn't even get a photo because I basically swallowed it whole . That's how good it was. What really stood out though was the kindness of the people running it. Super welcoming, hardworking, and genuinely friendly. You can tell they care about what they're serving. Simple spot, amazing food, awesome people. If you're in Loreto, don't miss this place.

Went on a Friday around 9am, as Google says that's the opening time. It was definitely still closed…read moreand no one could be seen doing prep or anything. Came back after noon, and it was quite busy. It's a little confusing because no one greets you at the door, nor is there an order counter. But just grab a seat wherever you can find one, and someone will come to get your order. They had 4 options available that day. We got the fish and carne asada. Go with flour tortillas if you can. I usually prefer corn, but we got a couple of each, and the flour were the best. All the tacos were delicious and having the salsa/topping bar is great, so you can add whatever hot sauce, salsas, and veggies. There were only 2 workers there, but they were working their butts off. Definitely try it out - just be prepared to be patient - it's worth it. They are super nice and the food is great!
