    Quick stop so a quick review. While heading home from Matamoras PA to Wake Forest NC, we took a "road less traveled" which was I-81. That took us through a short stretch of West Virginia so we decided to stop here for lunch. It was one of the few restaurants open on a Sunday in Martinsburg. The place is clean and family owned. It has your usual Mexican American fare. The food was fresh and delicious. The service was top notch. There was only one server working and he came by occasionally to check on us. There were other patrons there but not overly busy. It wasn't far off the interstate which was a plus. And there is ample parking.

    Had a fantastic experience at Lobo Dorado! Our waitress, Brenda, was wonderful--super polite, professional, and had a great sense of humor that really made the meal enjoyable. The food came out hot and fresh, which is always a plus.

    The decor of this place is cute with various suns and cowboy boots etc. I was sat down pretty quickly. One of the servers brought some chips and salsa that were fresh, but the chips tasted very oily and like the oil needed changed. I ordered a carnitas burrito with salsa instead of cheese sauce, and it still came out with cheese so I had to send it back. The carnitas were good, just oily. It did take quite a long time for me to get my check when I was done. This place is ok, but I'm not sure I would come back.

    Stumbled into a Tiktok of this place. Great menu options. Worth the drive. Will visit again.

    This is the best food I've had in West Virginia so far. I've tried all the places near me (Inwood and Martinsburg), and this absolutely takes the cake. Service was attentive and prompt. Ambiance is great. Booth walls are nice and high so very private for a dining room on the smaller side. Music isn't too loud. Honestly run-of-the-mill for a cute little Mexican place aside from the food that is absolutely fantastic. Highly recommend stopping in for a bite when you're in town.

    We love the other location with the same owners, La Lobera in Inwood and were very excited to attend this new location's grand opening today on Warm Springs Avenue, which is much closer to our house. We ordered the Chipotle Burrito which was delicious, the spice level was perfect, and the chorizo and sauce created some amazing flavors. We also ordered the Lobera Special. The steak was overcooked and chewy on this. We ordered medium but it was very well done. Service had some first day hiccups but nothing major and the server was very nice. We didn't get the guacamole we ordered and had to ask to have it taken off the check at the end but this was done without trouble. It was also clear he was still learning the menu. Once again this is day 1 so that is to be expected and you could tell he cared about doing a good job. Desert was a deep fried tortilla with cheese cake on the inside served with ice cream. It was very good. We will return.

    Fajitas for one

    Delicious food and great service. Been there 5 times since they opened up, in a month. The chile relleno is awesome. The enchiladas are delish.. the beans have a spicy kick. Fajitas are da bomb. Our new favorite local place!

    BEWARE of this place if you pay using a credit/debit card! Our server more than doubled her tip…read moreafter we signed and left. We left a tip we thought was sufficient. She added more without us knowing till we seen it post at our bank. WE WILL NEVER RETURN TO THIS ESTABLISHMENT! The food wasn't the greatest anyways. The prices are higher than other Mexican restaurants in the area for the same dishes. The salsa is to thin! It was like water. The flautas were floating in grease and hard. The Molcajete was supposed to have a sauce on top, instead it was dry. My husbands fajita meat was hard and overcooked. Best thing was the soda. At least that was right. We NEVER complained about the food to our server. We were nothing but nice to her. There was ABSOLUTELY NO REASON for her to manipulate our bill after we left the establishment.

    Food is authentic. I wish we went out here our first night here. We would not have eaten anywhere…read moreelse. She makes her own chorizo and you can tell with your first bite. The Birria tacos were some of the best I've ever had. If you like porchetta you must try Carnitas Michoacan. The margaritas are made with real fruit juice, no sweet tart sour mix and they are $3 on Monday. Friendly staff, great service and you know you're in some place special immediately. I'm telling everyone I see to go here until I leave.

    The interior was nice, but the service was honestly one of the most frustrating restaurant…read moreexperiences I've had in a while. Our server barely understood English, and even simple questions turned into a whole situation. I asked FOUR separate times whether the spicy salsa was free. I literally said, "If it's free, I'll take it. If not, never mind." The server kept saying yes, it was free... so we ate it. Then the check comes out with a $3.99 charge for the salsa When I asked why it was charged after being told multiple times it was free, the server still kept saying "free" while staring at the receipt. At that point I had to ask for the manager because we were clearly not communicating. The manager said there was a "language barrier issue," BUT because we already ate it, we still had to pay for it. That part honestly blew my mind. If I asked about the price four times before ordering, clearly the whole point was that I didn't want it if it cost extra What made it worse was the attitude. The server never apologized once and the manager acted super confident like this was somehow normal. And honestly... the food wasn't even worth the drama. Everything was ridiculously salty, and the salsa tasted like someone mixed it with water. Cool interior. Terrible experience. Definitely not coming back.

    We went with a group of 10 people. 4 of us arrived at the same time and told them we had a party of…read more10 - the rest of the group was right behind us about 5-10 mins. There were only two tables available that we could put together to accommodate our group but they wouldn't let us do that until everyone arrived. We were slightly frustrated because if they gave the second table to someone else we never would have accommodated our group. Luckily the rest of the group arrived shortly after we did so we were able to sit together. I'm a bit of a Mexican food snob and I thought the food was mediocre. The salsa was pretty runny and the queso was melted cheese with NO seasoning/flavor to it. I ended up adding hot sauce to both just to flavor them. I ordered the ceviche - one of my favorites. I was really disappointed with that. The shrimp was overcooked so my guess is that they added cooked shrimp into the mix rather than making it the traditional way. Bottom line - the margaritas was good but I walked out hungry with a box of leftovers that I ended up throwing away. I would give it a try again when we're not with a large group, but I certainly won't be rushing back there anytime soon. Overall, 2.5/3 star experience.
