I came here on a weekday night probably an hour before closing. There were only a couple other parties still around but I still digged the atmosphere and super friendly bartender. Our food came quickly after ordering, got the baked fish tacos and a mango margarita. The fish tacos definitely had a spicy zing to them, sometimes it was a good zing but most of the times it was a bad burning in your throat zing. The rice and beans that came with the dish were pretty standard. Thumbs up to the margarita. read more

I ate here last night and had a really great and filling meal! There was no table available when we came in, so they seated us at the side and we ordered drinks. The host and waitstaff were all so nice, and the whole experience, but food and service was wonderful. I had the fried chicken and it came with two sides, and it was definitely tasty and filling! read more

Update to my previous review...went here for dinner instead of lunch for the first time and the service was worlds better. So friendly. And happy hour until 7pm $6 margs read more

I've had my fair share of Mexican food, and Lobo had some of the best in Brooklyn. I really liked the atmosphere downstairs; really intimate and cozy. Upstairs is bigger and for larger parties. The margaritas were awesome and $6 during happy hour. The food was delicious and just enough. I definitely recommend the combo platters which comes with 2 or 3 different mini entrees and rice and beans. The service was also great. Our server was very sweet and friendly. Overall great experience. I definitely want to return, especially to try their Mac and cheese. read more

Vegetarian here, I'd have to say this place is definitely not veg friendly, thus the 2 stars. While the drinks were more than delicious (5 stars for that), there was no bean option for any of the dishes. The beans that they do serve are refried with lard. The cheese was sadly and obviously velveeta. Most of our meal ended up being lackluster mushrooms and iceberg lettuce. Very disappointing, as tex mex is usually a consistent option for vegetarians. The service was great, our waiters were diligent and present, but sadly despite this, I don't think I'd come back for anything other than drinks. read more

Was a bit disappointed that the strawberry margarita wasn't made better it tasted like a fruit drink !!

Lobo is my favorite Tex-Mex place in New York. The chips and salsa, which are normally bland elsewhere, are really tasty! They have plenty of options for vegetarians, including some delicious bean and cheese tostadas. The ingredients are always fresh. Their mango margarita is definitely one of my favorite in the city. read more

typical TexMex joint...nothing over the top....went here when my buddy was bartending- he makes a great ZZ Top (mezcal, tequila and some other yumminess). Great tequila selection at this place. I went to the one in Bococa, but they also have one in Park Slope. read more

Salsa is awesome. A little bit of spice but good flavor. The bean dip was also good, but I'm sure the cheese on top is wizz The steak tacos were good not fatty pieces. read more

I love Lobo :) - Outstanding service (as a former waitress, I'm pretty judgy about this) - Delicious food (the salsa - they should bottle it and sell it!) - Brunch is reasonably priced, and the cheesy jalapeno grits are out of this world Highly recommend! read more

I was really disappointed with this place. Fake cheese, coagulated beans and funky-tasting mushrooms made me not want to go back. Also, a dish with Spinach Sauce came with no spinach in sight. The margaritas were great though - maybe just sitting at the bar with some chips is enough here? read more

For the Margaritas alone they get 4 stars!! Very decent grub at a fair price. The guac is fantastic and the fresh chips addictive! Ive had most of the apps there and so far they are tasty! I mean there is better food to be had in the area, but happy hour you can get great deals. read more

Best margarita in the neighborhood. Fresh squeezed. The food is very good too. A nice place to go with a group of friends.

Stay away from the shrimp, they make zero effort to clean them, When we sent it back & showed the waitress, she acted like this was the first time she ever heard this in her life, and She was no spring chicken. She said she doesn't eat shrimp and didn't know they were supposed to be cleaned, otherwise very bland food overall. read more

Our server was friendly and competent but sad to say that the compliments end there. Decor is reminiscent of a strip mall Applebee's. Food is prepared with cheap ingredients and recipes are Americanized and unimaginative. This is the kind of Mexican food you'd get at an airport or a hospital cafeteria. Unless you're desperate and/or with a large party and don't want to wait for a table on a Friday night, I'd pass. read more

Great outdoor space, shame about the food. Chips and salsa were ok. The rest was mushy, overcooked but under-heated and a bit bland. I've had better at taco bell. read more

Great place for drinks. They have the best macaroni & cheese with bacon or grilled chicken. Everyone should come here

Got off to a rough start. The bartender seemed a bit overwhelmed with a mid-day large group. He was frustrated at first but became very friendly towards the end. Food was decent. Probably better as a bar hangout after work or for evening diner when it's fully staffed. read more

This was pretty good. Fairly basic breakfast burrito and great service. I'd come here again just for the good vibes.

If your craving Mexican(oid) flavors, this place more than hits the spot. Nothing spectacular, but the food is fresh, flavorful and plentiful. They know what they are trying to be and they succeed. Service is prompt, friendly and the place itself is cute and has a pleasant feel. Seems to get a good eclectic crowd. Décor is warm, lots of wood, with tacky (in a good way) Mex touches. They accept only cash, which I never appreciate. But the prices are reasonable, so I suppose we can't have our churros and eat it too. read more

The place has nice decor, really cozy. Outside patio area as well, which is a plus. Got greeted by the hostess and bartender as soon as I walked in. Although, the waiters were sitting at a table on their phones half the time. Drinks were given to us right away, Texas Tea was tasty. Appetizer came almost instantly. Chicken quesadilla was great. I order the enchilada and two taco combo. It was good but my chicken tacos had hidden bones in them. The refried beans were very obviously spoiled and smelled rotten. The waitress just believed "I didn't like them". Hopefully no one else ordered them! I would have much rather been offered another side dish, rather than just getting a side plate to "scoop" off the beans. And still having rotten remnants on my plate. read more

Lobo - Bars Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I can't speak for the dinner menu but, for brunch this place is a favorite of mine. My husband and I eat here regularly on Sundays and probably my favorite part about eating there is the staff. Jen, the waitress is so quick with a coffee refill that you never see the bottom of the cup. Their omelets are ridiculously huge in size and I love that you can get decent grits in Brooklyn. My favorite are the Migas, however. I get them with chorizo and cheese. They are so filling and tasty. For dinner, well, I have to be in the mood for Lobo. I don't really think of it as Tex-Mex, it's more like comfort food to me with a Tex-Mex twist. I always suggest this place when I am in the mood for goopy, cheesy, warming food. It's good, it's not the best food in the world. But, it ain't bad either. read more

As a native Texan, I must say that Lobo was a huge disappointment. My excitement about finding a TexMex restaurant in NYC quickly diminished after chewing on my very tough fajita meat. While the décor was fun with cowhide seats and my passion fruit margarita was stiff, I left unimpressed with no plans to return. read more

Lobo is my 3 month cheat. My boyfriend and I go there when we want to treat ourselves to a good heavy meal. We always start with the diablo (chile con queso with meat). We should probably stop there but like I said this is when we want to cheat so I either get the tex heart attack, the wolf, or the bama. The portions are big. I am in mid itis right now while my bf is passed out. Highly recommend for a once in awhile treat! read more

This place overall is okay. The food was okay. The drinks are pretty good. We went there on a Sunday it was pretty empty. I would say you can go here if there's no other place to go. read more

Lobo provides solid, tex mex fare. Everything I've gotten - including the drinks - is good. Priced reasonably and I've never had to wait for a table. Salsa has just the right amount of spice and paired w/ a never-ending basket of warm chips is yummm. There is a cute outdoor patio in the back but can get overrun w/ squirrels which kind of freaks me out when eating, so I opt for indoors. Decor is eh - the seat cushions are covered w/ animal hydes and that's kind of gross, but easy to get over. I haven't found another sit-down mexican place in the neighborhood worth going to, so I'm happy with Lobo. read more

I was here tonight with 4 of my friends and we had a good time. Margaritas a really good and food was pretty good. Will def come back.

The pulled pork sandwich is utterly outstanding!! The moment you taste it the flavors explode in your mouth. I also had an enchilada and a crunchy beef taco. The pulled pork was my favorite. Everything else was cooked and seasoned very well. Home made tortilla chips and salsa that has a nice spicy kick that slowly builds up and isn't over powering. I thoroughly enjoyed the food and the margaritas. I will come back. read more

Loving Lobo. I lived in Austin, where I was a Maudie's denizen and with the pulled pork, tres leches, and the great salsa, I'm good in the hood! read more

Just so so for dinner too. But have a nice outdoor back patio which is great in the summer time. We had 2 fajitas, 2 margaritas (tart), chips (avg) and guacamole (good). Total tab before tax/tip was $49 12/22/09 Just so so brunch. I had a two eggs over easy and side of pancakes and sausage. My friend had a vegetable burrito. The eggs were fine but the pancake tasted like it came out of a box and the syrup was your basic grocery store variety. The buritto was pretty bad (no flavor). However, the atmosphere is nice - cozy and casual. We sat upstairs which has windows that look down on Court St. The bar on the first floor looks like a chill place to hang. I'd come back here again for a drink at the bar or to try dinner. read more

Great food. Weird awkward staff. Cute decor. They have a nice back yard area in summer. Margaritas are great. Menu is great. Sad that they do not deliver though. We'd give them a lot more business if they delivered. I bet a lot of parents that don't want to bring their children out would do delivery too. It's a very family area so you'd think they would want the most business they could get. All in all this is a great place to eat at. read more

Great spot, very authentic Tex-mex. I've been here a few times and have stellar margaritas as well as a satisfying full of down-home comfort food. read more

Our any time, any day neighborhood spot. Good food. Usually get The Wolf or Huevos Rancheros and a margarita...definitely a margarita or two. Great service. Comfortable. They made us feel like a regular from day one. Our usual waitress even offers some help when our little one gets a little cranky. read more

I love Lobo! We went there last night with a large group of people. The service was great. Our waitress kept the margaritas flowing and was one of the best servers I've had in a long time - very friendly and attentive. She even added a table when we had a few extra people join us. She even brought a round of complimentary tequila shots to finish off our meal. All of our food was great as well. I highly recommend this neighborhood spot. read more

Honestly, I don't think the food is that great at Lobo, but I like the atmosphere and the drinks. And, it's convenient. So, I keep coming back. I wish the food would get a bit better, but I've never had a horrible meal here, just mediocre. And, I always have fun and enjoy the vibe. read more

i really enjoy the breakfast at lobo. The jalapeno cheese grits are amazing in a way that only heavy food can be. The Tulsas are great if you can sneak a nap in after breakfast. Cheese, beans, eggs & jalapeno grits, yum! I also like the Migas. read more

I frequent the Park slope locale more, but I did go to brunch here once and I love love love the outside area. The breakfast portions are HUGE and delicious too. read more

Serviceable Tex-Mex, for a fast food joint, but not great, Sauces are all straight from the jar (the mole in particular is pretty bad) rice was wet and undercooked and tasted like adobo bagged rice cooked in a rush. I had enchiladas- which were assembled and heated, but not actually cooked long enough for the flavors to meld. Salsa was fresh and had a kick, atmosphere was great and the servers were nice, too bad about he food. read more

JALEPENO CHEESE GRITS! Get these for brunch, you will not be disappointed. So freakin good.

Good service, good ambience but very average food. We checked the menu Online and were very excited by all the options. My husband got the tex-mex Benedict and I got the Huevos rancheros... The flavors were mediocre to say the least. We left there dissatisfied and wanting for more! read more
