    We saw a lot of positive reviews for this restaurant in cities throughout Minnesota. This was our first time to try El Loro. The one in Rogers has a nice environment Our son was leaving for college and he wanted to try it with us. They quickly came out with chips and salsa. It was good. Food was good. My wife got the Chimichanga and I got the Mixed Fajitas. Portions were perfect and not overwhelming. We will return.

    Food was alright. Lacked flavor in some items but not all. Service was not bad but was not good. Drinks on the other hand were really good

    This review is going to be difficult to write because I have such mixed feelings. My last rating…read morewas a five-star review and parts of my wife's and I experience merit another five stars, but parts of the same experience merit a one-star. And that makes it difficult! Let's start with the positive... Their prime rib continues to be fantastic. It's meaty, flavorful, and juicy. After having some prime rib specials at other restaurants, I can really see that they quality varies. In addition, Dehn's dinner comes with excellent Parker-house rolls and butter, cup of au jus, and a baked potato -- all of which is good. It also comes with soup or salad. Their Beef Barley soup is one of the best version of beef barley soup that I've ever had. It's loaded with ingredients, the broth has a deep flavor and I have always enjoyed their version of it. So far, this is five star territory. However, on to the not so good... I ordered the prime rib medium rare and it was clearly medium to medium well done. Honestly, if you want medium rare, medium well done is a big disappointment. I asked the waitress for a more rare piece and when she returned she told me that the chef said the piece I got was from the center of the roast and was the rarest piece they had. Although they took $8 off the price, it was not a great experience and the meat just could have been much more juicy and tasty if they had cooked it properly. But there is more. My wife order the fried chicken and for the third time in a row, they said they didn't have it. (Dehn's, if you don't carry it, either take it off the menu or tell your guests about it before they order). My wife went with the grilled chicken breast, which arrived looking like and tasting like either a frozen piece of chicken, or a bad airline meal (for those of you who can remember that). It was really tasteless and dry. In addition to all of that, we waited 15 minutes to be seated in the nearly empty restaurant because (we were told) they were short staffed. In fact, there seemed to be one waitress and one kitchen staff person for the restaurant. Service was slow (although friendly by the person who wasn't really a waitress). So what's up with Dehn's? The area around the restaurant is turning from farm land to housing. The hours of the restaurant have been cut severely and they are now only open for dinner on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights. My gut tells me that they are "caretaking" the restaurant and that although they have been open since 1958, I doubt they are going to see 2028.

    Stopped in on a Saturday evening and had a great experience. We ordered the Prime Rib and it was…read moretasty. The outer crust spice rub was excellent and the meat was beautifully marbled. Salad was good and the house blue cheese dressing is good. Baked potato done for easy eating and the insides were soft and flavorful. Hot dinner rolls too. Service was excellent and they even had a group of 40 in the back room. Ambiance is old time supper club. The value for the money is good. Give this place a try!

Different server came by and asked if we were ready to order and I said to give me a few more minutes...set the menus down at the end of the table so she knew we were ready, she walked past us several times without stopping...finally after 45 minutes a different server came and asked if we had our order taken yet...he wrote them down and put them in, 30 minutes later our food comes out and my food was completely the wrong thing...took another 20 minutes for my one dish to get made and brought out...by that time my gf was already done eating and my food was scorching hot to where I couldn't even eat it for 10/15min! Ended up putting it in a to go box and paid the bill and left! I've worked in many restaurants in the past 10 yrs and have never seen such horrible service and communication! Was there for over 2hrs when it should have been a pretty quick bite to eat! Will not be returning to that location again! If I could give this a 0 I would!
