"The food was amazing! I got the shrimp quesadilla and chicken taco."
Cons:
"The food was mediocre, tasted like a fast food restaurant."
"Tacos were cold and lacking flavor."
"One of the tacos had chorizo that looked like it was made two week ago that’s how dry and hard it was."
"The steak quesadilla had a weird smell like men’s sweat also very small size."

Atmosphere
Pros:
"The restaurant has almost a modern 'garage' theme."
"We loved the relaxed atmosphere but the highlight was the food."
"We loved Loteria! The vibe was modern yet funky."
"The atmosphere is really unique and fun."
"The place features a relaxing & chill ambiance that makes you feel comfortable."
"Very creative space, has all industrial look."
"The atmosphere and food were phenomenal!!!"
Cons:
"No high chairs or booster seats? It’s a big restaurant and it was a slow Monday night! Would give 0 stars if I could. Avoid, especially with children!"
"Let’s begin with dirty chairs. Second the dirty water bottle. Third plates not properly washed."
"The nachos were more like slop."
"Mid tex mex food. Rice had no flavor."
"Although the guacamole and chips were tasty and fresh, margarita enthusiasts should be weary of coming here for a marg."
"The only problem was the price for food $5 a taco was expensive when normally tacos are about $2 each."
"The chips and guac will only take 45 mins to come out and the chips will be the coldest and worst tasting chips you've ever had guaranteed."
Value
Pros:
"There is great value for the money."
"All reasonably priced."
"It’s also very reasonably priced in a time when everything feels so expensive."
"The prices are a little high for the premium tacos but very reasonable for the more basic, but still yummy, tacos."
"Between the two of us with appetizers, entrees, desserts and don't forget patron shots, we only spent 70 combined!"
"We ordered takeout for our family of 8 from Loteria during COVID-19... it was simply delicious."
"Prices are awesome!"
Cons:
"I got charged $21. $7 a dish for Salsa."
"The portion size for a $17 bowl was ridiculously small."
"Margaritas also didn’t taste fresh at all."
"One small one was almost $7.00."
"Price point is a little high considering the sizes of the tacos (tortilla) and the portions of food on them."
"Our drinks were extremely small for the $14-15 price tag."
"If you want to wait 90 minutes for an overpriced bland burrito and $30 non alcoholic sour Sangria pitcher that taste like chalk water then this is definitely the place for you."
