My wife and I usually go to Tapatia's for our Mexican fill....BUT....WE FOUND A NEW FAVORITE! We walked in and were immediately greeted by the owner nonetheless who happily welcomed us and took us to a booth that was well lit and clean. The waitress came over quickly, but since this was our first time, it took us a bit to figure out what we wanted...my wife ordered a carnitas burrito that was pulled pork and onions with cheese sauce draped over it and it came with rice as well. Let me tell you...EVERY BITE OF THAT PORK WAS AMAZING! I ordered a #3 lunch special that had a chix burrito and a chix taco with lettuce, tomato, cheese, and sour cream. It was also delicious, but I was and am still jealous of my wife's decision! The restaurant was clean and all the staff was in great spirits! Please don't miss out on this gem!!! Also, it was $27 for the two of us to eat which is u heard of these days! read more

We have eaten here a few times before but today's food wasn't as good as I remembered, even though I ordered the same meal. I can't put my finger on it, the food was good, but not great. Our server was a very nice young man, but he did not come back to check on us and I had to go find him as things we had ordered did not come. For example, I had paid extra to include guacamole, and he did not notice that it wasn't included when he brought me my food. And my husband had ordered the chicken fajitas and they had forgot to include the tortillas. Not sure if we'll go back again. Like I said, the food was good but not great. read more

El Lobo Dorado - Restaurant Hours - Mexican Near Me - Martinsburg, West Virginia

Who ever suggested the beef tip chimichanga, I owe you a very big kiss. Holy cow, that was the best thing I have ever eaten. And I've had real traditional mexican food deep in Mexico made by someone's very talented Abuela. Ive eaten food all over this country and somehow this topped all of that. The service was great, the decorations were adorable, we loved the vibe of the overall experience. I honestly dont care what else you try here, but do yourself the great service of trying that chimichanga, and for the love of all things good in this world... get the dinner size with 2. You will want it. read more

El Lobo Dorado - Aguachiles 10/10 - Mexican Near Me - Martinsburg, West Virginia

See all

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. read more

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. read more

El Lobo Dorado - Chimichangas (left) and Tilapia & Shrimp (right). - Mexican Near Me - Martinsburg, West Virginia

We came here after reading multiple wonderful reviews, but we were very disappointed with our experience. when we showed up our waiter was very slow to take our order. She also seemed to be under the influence. I'm not sure of what but it took a very long time for our food to come and for regular drinks like water and tea to come out. The food is good, but I was highly disappointed when we paid for our order, she charged us for the wrong meal and then tried to have me pay for the wrong meal on my card by looking at me and saying she can't take it off, so I sat there and refused to pay for it until she made it right. Please Make sure you check your receipt when you eat here. read more

El Lobo Dorado - Steak fajitas - Mexican Near Me - Martinsburg, West Virginia

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. read more

I've been here now three times. Each time the food has been fantastic, except today the wife's rice and beans were served cold. Twice, Ray has been our server. Horrible and slow. Takes forever to get back to us. Had to ask for the check twice. Last time Luis was our server and he was excellent. It was nice to see a tour of Mexico on one TV and a fireplace on the other instead of the usual sports. 5 stars for everything but Ray. I'll be back. The wife probably won't. read more

We were excited to try this place with such glowing reviews. Turns out it just opened a few months ago. Overall, it was really good, with great service and delicious food. I did not care for the spicy refried beans, as I don't like spicy foods in general. The combination dip was phenomenal with fresh pico (not spicy!) along with cheese and ground beef. Not too greasy and the flavor was perfect. We will definitely visit again! read more

El Lobo Dorado - Fajitas for one - Mexican Near Me - Martinsburg, West Virginia

Will never eat in any other Mex place. The best food since Austin Tx and La Jolla Ca. The owner treated us as we passed the bar while wrapping silverware. So friendly. Everything was awesome. The salsa was fresh. The best tamales and enchiladas ever. The flavor was outstanding. Very nice decor and seating. Everyone could not have been nicer. The minute we got home I posted on Facebook to tell everyone. Please skip the chains, you will love this! Will be visiting again soon. read more

Where to even start..this place checks ALL the boxes. Service..fantastic! Junior was excellent, highly recommend him! Chips/salsa delivered to the table within 3 minutes of sitting down, greeted by junior a couple min after. Queso, chimichangas (beef and chicken), fried ice cream and cheesecake were SPOT ON! Margarita flight didn't disappoint either! Ambiance is nice, Spanish music playing at a nice volume and TVs playing a variety including boxing, Indy, and football( well, espn and a football story on) . We've not been to the original location (La lobera in bunker hill) but should definitely give them a try. You won't be disappointed..ask for Junior! read more

Our first time visit. From start to finish we enjoyed our experience. The server Bryan was courteous, efficient, was eager to accommodate our different requests and made some great recommendations. The owner Ray, brought out a guacamole cart to fresh make at our table and it did not disappoint! So good! We will definitely be back as we love not only good, fresh Mexican food, but also the great personalized service and warm atmosphere. Thank you for everything Wolf Pack. read more

First time trying this restaurant. We went because of the good reviews. Loved the vibes! Our waiter Bryan was very good. The chips were just ok but the salsa was good with a kick. I had a combo of a chicken enchililada with salsa verde which I requested. It was yummy. I also ordered the chili relleno. It was super cheesy and the red sauce was so good. It was huge so I brought it home. The rice and beans were just average. My man ordered the spinach chicken enchilada. It came with rice. The enchilada was stuffed with shredded chicken and topped with grilled chicken in a spinach sauce. He loved it. So far this is the best Mexican we have had in the Martinsburg area. read more

I found this place for me and my and my mom to try for a nice Sunday lunch, and let me tell you, I was amazed by not only the quality of the food but also the customer service. The employees all greeted us with conversation and smiles, and made us feel welcome. Now the food was just on a whole different level, I ordered Burrito lobera and I was instantly taken away by the portion, quality, presentation and flavor that this burrito had to offer. This was one of those meals that will have you savoring every last bit of it. My experience with El Lobo Dorado was well beyond amazing and I will definitely become a regular here. This restaurant is everything a Mexican restaurant should be. read more

incredible drinks, incredible food, incredible service. prices are fair given these facts, music is great.

Best Mexican food in town by a mile. The queso was the best I've ever had, the fajitas were next level.

Upon visiting Martinsburg, VA, we chose to dine at the El Lobo Dorado Restaurant. The wait staff greeted us with a warm welcome. It is nicely decorated. Best of all, I was happy to see healthy dinner offerings on the menu. The first bite until the last confirmed we made an Excellent choice for dining out! read more

Man, let me tell you something....This is now the best Mexican restaurant in the area. My daughter and I visited for a post workout meal. The service is unbelievably good. Bryan is a straight G of a server. Getting us homemade hot salsa, and making some top notch drinks that are reasonably priced. The food is great. I had the pineapple fajitas, bangin! This is the only Mexican place Im going to in the area from now on. read more

I was excited to try this new restaurant and it certainly did not disappoint. The service was impressively fast. On top of that, the prices were very reasonable for the portion sizes. I'll definitely be coming back! read more

This is a new restaurant that has taken over an existing space. The interior is nice enough; nothing great and nothing at all bad. I expect they'll do some upgrading once they become a better-known part of the community. Fortunately, we do not need to eat the atmosphere! What about the food? The presentation? The service? If I said "couldn't be better," it would not be true. I expect that, were this a Michelin-starred resto, such an accolade would apply. But it's not Michelin-starred, HOWEVER, it is better than some of the Michelin-starred restos we patronized on a recent trip to Mexico, including at least one M-starred resto in Oaxaca. Start with the service: Our server could not have been friendlier or more competent. He did all the right things at the right time, making suggestions in response to our queries. We felt well-welcomed and at ease. The complimentary chips and salsa were excellent. I prefer thinner chips, but these tasted great, which is what counts. The salsa was A-plus. Then came the big test proctored by my wife: Steak fajitas, steak medium rare. She was expecting what she almost always receives from such an order: Steak fajitas, steak well-done and gray. Guess what: steak medium-rare and delicious. I ordered something that sounded good: Pina Loca ("Sizzling shrimp, steak, chicken, chorizo, bell peppers, onions & tomatoes, served with rice, beans, lettuce, cream, & tortillas, COOKED IN HALF OF A PINEAPPLE. Absolutely, positively delicious. Something else absolutely and positively: The dish is HUUUUUUUGE! I was able to finish a little less than half. We brought it home and had it for a light dinner. And what was left we shared for lunch the next day, to a chorus of "This is SO GOOD." It will not take long for El Lobo Dorado to become Martinsburg's number one. read more
