Description

**Dining at El Loro: A Mixed Experience**

El Loro presents a range of experiences that leave diners divided. While some rave about the large portions and flavorful dishes like the Burritos Mexicanos and delicious tamales, others are disappointed by lackluster flavors and inconsistent service. Guests have reported rude staff interactions, long wait times, and miscommunications about orders, which overshadow the restaurant's potential. Despite the critiques, a few visitors praised the warm ambiance and mention of solid margaritas. As El Loro navigates its dining service and food quality, patrons may want to explore other options before fully committing to a return visit.

In a residential area of Bloomington, you'll find great food and excellent service at El Loro. Stop by for warm chips and salsa, tasty meals, and a delicious margarita!

Overall, I would rate El Loro around 3.5 to 4 stars. The portion sizes are decent for the price, but the taste is just okay—nothing particularly memorable. The drinks are good, and I appreciated the chips and salsa that were served as I sat down. I do think the service could be improved, and I would prefer fresher tortillas and meat that isn’t so dry. However, I understand that COVID has affected many aspects of dining, so I'm willing to give them some grace.

First time visiting this place while we were in town. Definitely rate the food at 10 out of 10 and very good service. Will be adding this to our list to revisit.

Food tasted good. A little surprised the size of this taco salad is pretty small and price is $10. Other guest had enchiladas which was also tasty and a big plate
