This is authentic hole in the wall Mexican food for a good price. The place is clean, the service is great, and the food is fantastic. It's definitely not gourmet Mexican food. This is the place you go to where you want a good fix of comfort food. Carne Asada Burrito - $12.59 - Steak burrito smothered in cheese. Seasoning is good. It's heavy but delicious. 5/5 stars. Steak Tacos - $12.59 - Everything was well seasoned. Double wrapped corn tortillas, which should be the standard everywhere. Husband really loved the side of bean soup. It was pretty flavorful and heavily spiced. 5/5 stars. Rice and beans were both good. It's typical rice and beans. I'd definitely eat here again. Check out the daily specials. The prices are good and the food hits the spot. read more

We have given this place a chance a few times. It's not BAD but definitely not great. Food is very bland. Take out portions are on the small side. I don't know why people give it such high reviews, but it is Fort Wayne, not known for their cuisine. read more

This is my 2nd visit to this place and the first time the tacos were really good. The chips and salsa were below average. The chips were greasy but crunchy, and the salsa had a mix of 'Tajin' flavor.... This time I ordered steak tacos and pastor, my wife ordered pozole. The pastor taco was tasty but on both the steak and this one the tortillas were deepened in oil trying to get them soft. First time they were soft tortillas. The pozole had cabbage instead of lettuce and did not have any hominy (maíz pozolero), it was also very greasy. Wasn't asked about a refill. Too bad we had this experience on this visit. Not coming back read more

Lalos Restaurante Mexicano - Pozole- below average - Mexican Near Me - Fort Wayne, Indiana

Needed some Mexican food in my life. Got the lunch special. Taco and an enchilada. Chicken enchilada was very tasty. The ground beef taco hit the spot. Chili rellenos were great! Chips and salsa were very good. Almost got a pint to take away. The sign said all of your party needs to be present to be seated. We were seated ASAP. Rest of party showed up 5 minutes later. America was our server. Very nice and friendly. Typical tex-mex place. Sombreros and kitschy stuff on the walls. Bright Mexican colors! Highly recommend! Get some salsa to go!!! read more

Another good visit to Lalos! The facility is still open, welcoming and comfortable. I think they have better organized the dinning room. Things seem to flow and move well. There was plenty of staff to serve and keep the chips, salsa and drinks flowing. My wife had the Don Pacho Tacos. She enjoyed the tender beef and fresh seasonings. She found the pinto bean style beans to be a more enjoyable option than the usual refried beans. I had the enchiladas ranchitos. I loved the gooey cheese filling. The red beef sauce was a good accent to the cheese taste. The meat was also very tender. The sauce had a nice tomato base and seasoning without being hot and overly spicy. Overall I'm still impressed with Lalos food. I tell people Lalos food is gourmet Mexican food. The quality and freshness of ingredients is outstanding. The food design is simply delicious!! read more

What is going on with this place? The food was pretty tasty the last time we dined here but this time around the food and the service was just terrible. Our server's cell phone actually started ringing while she was taking our order. I thought no biggie, she forgot to turn the ringer off and I just figured she would silence it and finish taking our order. But, that is NOT what she did! She took a step back and actually answered her phone!!! As if that wasn't bad enough, she never checked on us and stood at the host stand...ON HER PHONE. There were things we needed but she never came back around. We even had to interrupt her as she was ON HER PHONE to get our check. We absolutely will NEVER return. This behavior is completely unacceptable! read more

This is by far the best Mexican restaurant in town. The salsa is sweet, the service is great and they always strive to bring the best.

Jesica was excellent . Food was great. Only thing keeping from five stars was after got home noticed our son's root beer rang up as premium margarita. read more

This is a great little Mexican spot! My husband stopped by here one day on his way home because I said I wanted Mexican food and I didn't care where it was from. He brought it home and it was so good that we went in to eat a week later. The service was great! She even changed the TV at the bar for us so we could watch the game. The food was great! Their salsa especially!! I love that they have your normal: quesadillas, burritos, nachos, and fajitas section on their menu. But then they even have a section that says "authentic", which I appreciate! There was a decent crowd for a Sunday night. I love to see people supporting local! Would highly recommend and will be going back again! read more

Lalos Restaurante Mexicano - Huarache Ranchero. Super good! Tortilla not as thick as others I've had. - Mexican Near Me - Fort Wayne, Indiana

Lalos Restaurante Mexicano - The Rest! Try the Red it will hurt you! - Mexican Near Me - Fort Wayne, Indiana

The parking lot was a bit packed when we got there, but there were still several places to park and we didn't mind the short walk to the restaurant. As soon as we walked in the door, we were greeted and welcomed to a table. The place was quite busy but all of the staff were on top of things and ready to help wherever needed. Miguel L. was our server, he took the time to talk to us about authentic mexican food and suggested we try a taco with chorizo and steak next time, he was very excited to tell us about real mexican food which was fun to learn about also he was really nice and friendly. Mom tried their hot sauce, which to give some context it's kind of like Taco Bell's lava sauce, but spicier and better, and she said "I may have to jump in your margarita because my mt dew isn't big enough". She loved the hot sauce and the fact that Miguel was on top of our drink situation. That's how she judges the quality of a place, on whether or not servers keep up with the drinks and asks about refills. Miguel was on the ball with the drinks and also miguel was super nice and asked my mom if I'd be okay getting home cuz i was drinking and had a huuuuge margarita. I didnt catch that until after mom said I was good and that she was the one driving. This is the first place I've been to where they checked to make sure I was okay getting home, which I really appreciate. I've been to several bars and taverns and nobody once asked if my friends and I would be okay to get home. Miguel didn't have to take the time to make certain I'd be okay, but he did anyway. He's a cool upstanding guy and a great server. Because the place was pretty busy it was a bit loud but thats okay. The ambience was great and Miguel mentioned that sometimes they have a mariachi band that performs there. They also gave us starburst candy with our receipt which was pretty cool, and it was all good flavors, like pink, yellow, and orange. read more

My family and I came from a lifetime in California where we loved and appreciated real authentic Mexican food. After moving to Fort Wayne it wasn't until the opening of Lalo's during the COVID crisis that we found there place that filled that need. Lalos always provided consistently delicious-authentic Mexican food. The hospitality is always a cut above. Angel and Brenda and the staff set the environment for a relaxing time of great food and good service. read more

Lalos Restaurante Mexicano - In this awesome weather we're having her in Fort Wayne, request to sit outside in their patio area. You'll be glad you did! - Mexican Near Me - Fort Wayne, Indiana

The service is always quick. The staff is always very attentive even when they are super busy. In my opinion, Lalos is my favorite Mexican restaurant in town. We probably come here 3x a month, or maybe even more. Within less than one minute of being seated, chips and salsa will be ready on your table. They have very good ceviche here and their siete mares soup is my favorite. It is a lot of seafood for the price you pay. The food is clean and I like the fact that I don't see a heavy amount of grease on my plate. read more

It was our first time eating at Lalos today. The restaurant was clean, service was fast and most importantly our waiter was nice. Chips and salsa are good, about the same as any other Mexican restaurant. The food came out fast and piping hot, had great taste with no complaints. Will be returning again to try out other things on the menu!! read more

Large and festive interior with common Mexican decor. Despite the large restaurant, the parking area was quite cramped. Service was mediocre at best (i.e. having to ask for more salsa when the carafe was clearly empty and then not bringing additional chips with the salsa). The chips and salsa tasted fresh. The food came out fast--too fast! This (and the fact that it was only lukewarm) let me know that it was precooked and probably sitting on a steam table in the kitchen. I ordered Enchiladas Acapulco (seafood enchiladas) and was disappointed to see them filled with imitation crab meat and the tiny salad shrimp. I won't make that mistake again. The rice that came with the meal was fluffy and seasoned well and almost good...aside from also not being hot. Would I return? Maybe to have chips and salsa and try out their margaritas but not for the food. read more

This place is delicious!!! I love their chipotle quesadilla and their horchata! It is always quick when getting food out. Their service is fast and they are kind at this place. There is not a whole lot of seating because it isn't a huge place. However, they do not take reservations. They also will not seat you until your whole party is there. read more

Rude! Greetings were nonexistent and staff actually turned their back and starting sweeping floor without acknowledging me. Yet jumped to help a patron ready to check out. No sign posting the establishment hours. Oh well everyone has bad days. The whole mask look makes it feel even more impersonal. Ugh! What's happened to smiley faces and cheerful upbeat businesses that actually enjoy serving people who want to spend their hard earned dollars to get some decent tacos in this town. read more

Went on a Sunday afternoon, they were very busy but they sat us promptly, we ordered the specials of the day. Everything came out quickly, the food was presented nicely on the plate and it was delicious. We got steak taco plate and a Chimi plate. Both were served with beans, rice and condiments. We did get a basket of chips and free salsa at the beginning. We will be back. read more

They did me right. Real good Mexican cooking. Authentic and everything kind of fancy. Good eatings and such. I get em all the time Amigo..Underlay underlay EBA EBA. These jokers got some good rice, some good beans, and the tacos are on the little bit of a small side, but the beef burritos are win. They might goof your order up once in awhile. Kid hardly speaks any English. Essay, he'll get you something close... read more

We were in Fort Wayne for a tournament and I usually try to eat a a Mexican Restaurant. We decided to try this one out, since it was close to where we were at. The parking lot was packed, so I was excited to see what they had to offer! We walked in and and it was very packed inside, but they were able to seat us quickly. The place was obviously on the noisy side, but that didn't matter. The waitress was really nice and came to take our drink order. I always like to try the Agua de Horchata, because they do not all taste the same; so I ordered one and my son ordered a soft drink. The Agua de Horchata was huge and very tasty.....one of the best I have tasted. The waitress gave us a few minutes to look at the menu and then came back to take our order. I asked if they had nachos with shrimp and she said no, but she can put in an order of ground beef nachos and add shrimp to it. I said that would be ok as long as it wasn't going to be like $10 for two shrimp and she laughed and said, "Oh no, it won't be that much"; so I said ok. My son asked if the nachos came with the white cheese sauce and she said it did. I ordered the Pollo Monterrey (I believe that's what it was called) and the menu said it came cheese sauce and I asked if this was the same white cheese sauce that comes in the nachos and she said yes (I love the white cheese sauce ); it also came with an order of tortillas and I chose the corn tortillas. A few minutes later our food came out and the presentation was awesome; it looked amazing and I just knew it was going to taste good! We started eating our food and after a couple of bites I noticed I had no white cheese sauce and neither did my son's nachos....AND his nachos only came with five pieces of shrimp. We didn't ask the waitress about it because she was very busy. I continued eating my food and the chicken didn't have any flavor (no seasoning), the only thing giving it flavor was the cheese, green peppers, mushrooms and onions that were loaded on top. I was going to make a taco with the tortillas that came with the order (I am just weird like that‍), but I couldn't because the tortillas were all stuck together and they had been sitting on the warmer for quite some time; the side that was on the warmer was hard as a rock. The rice was ok....kind of dry. My son also said his nachos were not all that; they were lacking flavor and the cheese sauce was missing. Once we got our bill, we found out the cost of five shrimp was almost $9. Overall: The meal was decent, but lacking flavor. The Agua de Horchata was tasty! The service was good; waitress was friendly. Meal came out fairly quickly. There is a a also a small bar area that has seating available. read more

A very bad experience with the rude and MOCKING staff. After reading other facebook and yelp reviews, I'm not the only one. I organized a 10 person workgroup. 4 of us showed up first, the other 5 would arrive 15 minutes later. We 4 had sat at a table in the middle to allow joined tables, there were 3 tables of 16 tables full. The 5th showed up and sat at a open table next to us and I went to join him for inclusion. The manager "Angel" explained we 2 would have to leave our 4 place table next to coworkers and move to the bar. 5 minutes later 3 more of our coworkers arrived, the waitress and manager REFUSED to let us have the 6 place table next to our coworkers. THEY SAT US AT THE OPPOSITE END OF THE FLOOR AND SMIRKED. These people DO NOT DESERVE MINE NOR YOUR PATRONAGE. PATRONIZE ANY ONE ELSE. ANY QUESTIONS? I STAND BY MY REVIEW. read more

Our annual black Friday shopping always lands us at a mexican restaurant for lunch. We arrived and were seated immediately. It was a busy place the whole time we were there. Our waiter came quickly to get a drink order and bring water. We ordered the seafood nachos. I am not a huge seafood person but those I was with are so I gave it a try. They were decent but definitely made for the seafood lover as they do have a different taste. The lunch portion of chicken fajitas is my favorite at most mexican restaurants so I went with that and I wasn't disappointed. I asked for not tomato and they must have forgotten because it arrived with tomato but I have no problem just picking them out and proceeding with my meal. Somewhere near the end of my 2nd tortilla full of fajitas I suddenly was feeling a tingling on my tongue which proceeded to turn into a more fiery feeling. I started digging into it and found a piece of fresh jalapeno which appeared to be in the guacamole. It was a surprise because I hadn't noticed it the entire 1st one. It didn't bother me but if you're not a spicy person then you might want to be careful with how much of the guac you're putting onto your tortillas. I'll be back one of these days when I'm back in town! read more

They were super busy, told there would be a 10-20 minute wait, and I got seated in 2 minutes! Prompt attentive service. My taco salad had the most veggies on it I have ever seen: carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, onions, peppers, tomatoes, and corn. It had a very small amount of rice on the bottom. It was supposed to have beans per the written menu, but I didn't get them. My portion was generous. I wasn't happy that I was charged to sub guac for sour cream and cheese on my salad (see pic) as I feel it should have been a wash. But it was good. read more

This is the worst dining establishment in Fort Wayne. They will not seat you if your entire party is not present, but only if they think your party is too large. They have no number of people on their rule sign when you walk in, so they just make it up as they go. On top of that, last time I was in there my mother in law asked for the owners contact information because of how unprofessional the manager and host (who probably could not see through her extremely bushy and terrible eyelashes) and they refused to give her the information. The manager actually stood there and smirked at her while shaking her head. On top of that, they do not card anyone for alcohol, even after getting their liquor license taken once. This establishment is trashy, unprofessional, and all around a terrible place to visit. The food is nothing to write home about either. Typical fake Mexican food and premade margaritas. Do not go here. I have already reported them to excise so do not expect to be drinking there anytime soon! read more

Been there twice. The last time was 6-17-21 at 4:30 PM, the first time was great food, great service, good value. Yesterday was different, we ordered a Lalos chicken burrito and got beef. We ordered nachos locos which was a pile of chips, a pile of beef, a pile of 1/2" sliced onions a pile of jalapeños. The first time we had nachos locos it was a large plate of individual chips with meat, cheese and peppers with shredded lettuce, tomatoes, guacamole were on the side. Went ahead and ate it, but was sorry I did at 3 AM in the bathroom and 3:10 and 3:15. My wife had similar outcome. I hope this was just a fluke, but my next door neighbor had a similar experience with carry out. read more

Always on point with our big orders! Love that place. The staff is amazing. I'll continue to send people there!

We got asked to leave 15 mins after we paid our bill. "We have people waiting for a table". Walked out and saw several open tables and NO people waiting for a table. This was sooooooo unacceptable. I will not be back. read more

Friendly, quick, and delicious- you should give this place a try. We ordered veggie fajitas and a seafood quesadilla and both were less than $11. The chips are crisp and the mild salsa is perfectly mild. I think this is better than the more well known Mexican restaurants in the area. Their pop is $2.79. read more
