This review is for El New Pueblito Loris, SC. Authentic family-owned Mexican food. Certainly!…read more Today was opening day at **El New Pueblito** in Loris, South Carolina, and I had the opportunity to stop in for lunch. The restaurant is conveniently located on Highway 9 Business (Loop Highway) with plenty of easy parking in the front, plus additional parking in the rear. The building has a fresh, clean exterior that's easy to spot from the road. Walking inside, you're greeted by a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Beautiful hand-carved benches, colorful tablecloths, and handcrafted wooden tables with vibrant painted details give the dining room a genuine charm. You can tell a lot of care went into creating the space. This is a family-run restaurant, and while they're just getting started, they shared that beer, wine, and a full bar are planned for the future. They also have a nice selection of Mexican snacks, candies, peanuts, and both American and Mexican soft drinks available for purchase. I ordered the **pork skin tacos**. These aren't the crispy style--they feature soft pork skin with the fat perfectly rendered until it's rich, silky, and almost gelatinous. The texture was outstanding and paired perfectly with the warm tortillas. I topped mine with their **green sauce**, and it absolutely made the meal. It delivers just enough heat to let you know it's there, then gently tapers off, leaving behind a wonderfully balanced flavor. The heat never overpowers the food--it simply complements it. Everything I watched leave the kitchen looked fantastic, and every table around me appeared to be thoroughly enjoying their meals. Another thing that stood out was the number of Hispanic families dining there--a good sign that they're serving authentic, home-style Mexican cuisine. They even had the World Cup playing on multiple large-screen televisions, adding to the welcoming atmosphere. If you're anywhere near Loris, South Carolina, and looking for authentic Mexican food, I highly recommend giving El New Pueblito a try. Based on my first visit, I don't think you'll be disappointed.

I have a hard time believing that people can't be a little forgiving until restaurants, stores, and motels get back to a full staff. It's where we are as a nation right now. Paying more to stay home than go to work. Have some heart! It's almost over! We love the people that work here, and they have always been very nice to us. The wife is very picky and her order is always perfect. The beer is cold. the food is hot. And delicious.And the service is great.

Checked on us often but not hovering! We started with free chips and salsa, very good salsa with a tiny kick. Next we ordered mango margaritas and table side guac. The margaritas are definitely made from scratch, very good mango flavor but get an extra shot if you want to taste liquor. The guacamole was delicious with nice lime flavor. I was disappointed that they had no enchiladas on the menu so I ordered the Molcajete. It's definitely large for one person so plan on bringing home a bag! The food was delicious. The only con was that the meats were not sliced all the way so you had to pull out a chunk to slice. I also feel the steak was a little tough to chew. The pineapple slices were unexpected but delicious. The food came out hot which was great. The chicken fajitas and the steak fajitas were also very good. If you order it with cheese, it's going to be melted in and the pineapple is cut up and mixed in which was unexpected and was the only downside. Hubby liked the shrimp bowl. All in all we had a great meal and would come again.
