They've been around for a long time & haven't lost their touch! They keep it updated and clean. Service was quick & efficient and the food was great! The salsa had just the right touch of spice & the Chips were hot & fresh. read more

I've been a customer of theirs for 35 years and today's the first time I went and got my takeout order for lunch only to find they stopped, including chips and salsa with your order and still charge the full price. This may not seem like a big deal to a lot of people however, the chips and salsa cost them less than $.25 to include in the meal. Their food is always been the exact same and it's always been very good and this is becoming a problem. I may never eat there again just because of they don't wanna include something that cost them less than $.25 for a ticket order that you get for free when you go inside and die in. read more

I visit this restaurant a few times and it's always been pretty good. I usually get there tortilla soup or a chicken enchiladas. This time I got chicken enchiladas with rice and beans. I love the flavors of the food the refried beans are great right. I love the Mexican flavors taste like authentic Mexican food. The service was well. Every time I go it's not really too busy so the wait is not long. The restaurant is kinda like a down home nice relax scenery nice Mexican decorations. They do have a bar but it's pretty calm at this restaurant read more

Food was decent but not original and the service was exceptional, however the price of the meal & drinks was way overpriced.

We haven't visited Los Loros in 2 years, and had dinner recently. We noticed at dinner the restaurant only had 3 other tables with customers, which was far different from how the restaurant used to be. Very sad! Many of the familiar faces/staff over the years are no longer working at Los Loros. The quality of food went downhill and the server was far from pleasant. In fact, I believe she is the owner or manager. Chips were stale, dinner plate was hot but food was lukewarm. The queso cheese dip was bubbling hot at the top but cold after stirring it up. Prices have increased for less than average food. Disappointed to see how this once wonderful place went downhill so fast. Bring back Jose, the lady who was always at the front register, the band, and make the quality food you used to provide. This place used to be very busy in the restaurant and the bar. It tasted like a microwaved dish and not worth the money spent. Couldn't eat half of it despite the reviews. Also, our server brought a very dated machine around to take payment. It read more

When you search best margarita near me, you're going to have high expectations. Unfortunately, the Margarita was alright. $17 for a large with flavor and it was watery and not frozen. The food was not good. For a Mexican place, there was absolutely no flavor. Besides the salsa which is very very spicy almost unenjoyable. Service was okay. Waitress was nice don't know her name. We probably won't be going here again. read more

Can we all agree that Mexican Food is the antibiotic to life's ills. And like CVS or Walgreen's you're likely to find a Mexican joint on just about every neighborhood corner. So when one disappoints you don't have to travel far to find redemption. My usual spot was suffering from major identity crisis so I decided to try Los Loros on Baymeadows just west of Philips Highway. It shares a parking lot with Al-Basha, a Middle Eastern market I shop at regularly. My first several visits were Taco Tuesday stops where I'd usually do 3 a la carte Tacos($9.50) and 3 a la carte Enchiladas ($9.50). You can select Hard or Soft shell tacos and either Chicken or Beef on both. On Tuesday the tacos are only $8. There is ample seating snd beautiful Latin murals painted on the walls. It may be 10 years before I feel the need to go anywhere else for these two simple favorites. Huge portions, great flavor, quality ingredients and a great price. My server Nina always takes great care of me and takes the time each visit to stop and chat me up while I enjoy the complimentary Chips and Salsa. Alex the manager also visits each table to check if guests are happy. But this review was to Scoop my most recent visit and entree the Pollo con Papas. It is Chicken breast grilled with potatoes, tomatoes, onions, mushrooms and chipotle chile pepper. Served with rice and vegetables(cheesy broccoli and cauliflower). Topped with cheese dip for $18.50. This dish delivered like a kiss on the first date, whatever that's like. I've never had a Mexican dish with potatoes and never thought to but this combination of ingredients was a veritable super group of flavors like Antonio Banderas and the Song of the Mariachi . So next time you're feeling Desperado head to Baymeadows and give your Mexican experience an upgrade at Los Loros. -- at Los Loros. read more

My friend and I just stopped in for happy hour and they have two for one margaritas and they were delicious and they are handcrafted. They offer you complementary salsa and chips. I strongly recommend the chips are made fresh and the salsa is made fresh as well, and both were delicious. There's also will put some hair on your chest. read more

Summary: a classic, reliable staple for the typical Mexican food you expect (I say this as a Floridian, let's not get into regional Mexican wars, LOL). I'm long overdue for this review. I first started visiting Los Loros in like 2014 when I lived off the southside service road and forgot about it for a while before moving about a block away in 2022. My fiancé and I probably ate here 3x a week while renovating our kitchen and have kept up with 1x a week/every other week since. As we all know there is no shortage of Mexican restaurants in this town. There is something for every niche and many places with standout specialties. That being said... Everything I've ever ordered has been good, I've never had a complaint or unsatisfactory meal. The servers are always nice, quick, and will start to remember your extra sauce orders when you go there as often as we do! First: great value. In today's climate, cost is a deciding factor in where you go out to eat. When we're hungry and in a rush, lazy mood, or don't have groceries; we always know we're going to get a huge, tasty, and reasonably priced meal at Los Loros. My go to is the Combo #3: 2 tacos, an enchilada, and a chile relleno for about $11. You can't beat it! I am very picky with chile rellenos and these are always bursting with liquid melty cheese and smothered in delicious sauce. The enchilada sauce is different, and also very tasty. As a self proclaimed sauce connoisseur I appreciate the variety and that every dish isn't topped with the same exact red sauce. Of course the enchiladas suizas or verdes will have a green sauce, which I also love. The salsa is on point every time. Honorable mention: quesadilla relleno (huge!), fajitas (obviously), and the flautas (make sure to ask for a side of chipotle sauce, it makes all the difference!) The house margaritas are STRONG! My 200+lb fiancé who is no stranger to cocktails got surprisingly tipsy the last time we ordered ONE large one The interior is a fun vibe, but be wary if you get easily overstimulated- most nights of the week there is some type of karaoke or singing going on in addition to loud music. The place is so large though that we usually get a table on the other side of the platform center and the noise is normal where we can have a conversation. Bonus- they have their own Los Loros app for online ordering and convenient pickup. They also have a rewards program where you enter your phone number at checkout and we have redeemed many a free queso, guacamole, entree, or margarita! They could also definitely accommodate a pretty large group in the aforementioned platform center area of the restaurant. When you're not looking for ~specialty~ trendy often overpriced Mexican food, Los Loros is ole reliable! Only downside is no outdoor seating if you're looking for that. (Now I need to catchup on the probably 100 food pics from here in my camera roll ) read more

After 13 years, I will NEVER go back. And I am telling me story to everyone I see. All my church groups, my crochet groups, my card group, my neighbors and anyone standing behind me in a checkout line. Four friends met for lunch, 3 separate bills. We ordered and by the time the food came our half basket of chips was empty and we asked for more. And salsa. $3.75 for extra chips and $3.75 for extra salsa shows up on one of the bills. WHAT!?!? The man in charge explained it is written on the menu and could not have cared less. No thank you. read more

Been a Jax staple for decades. Fresh, fast, yummy, good service. Authentic flavors, good bar options.... Locals know!

I've been to this place a couple times and the service and food were so so. I was headed there tonight and decided to read some reviews before going and I'm glad I did. A change in plans now. These people need to read their reviews and fix the issues. The service has serious issues. I think most of them are family who are probably forced to work for free. I wish them luck read more

If you're looking for an authentic, family operated Mexican restaurant look no further than Los Loros. My friends and I stopped in for dinner post FL-GA tailgating and I am extremely happy we did. We were immediately greeted by the host who sat us in a clean booth. The menu here is like Cheesecake Factory - extensive with numerous options for everyone and also super affordable. They serve you a basket of complimentary chip and salsa, which is fresh and tasty. The salsa has a little kick but still is very good. I was in the mood for some tacos and Los Loros has a vast amount of options. I ordered the carne asada, lengua (beef tongue), and chicken. They all come with cilantro and white onions and hot sauce which I opted for on the side. The tacos were fresh and large in portion. I tried the lengua first - and whoa! So tender, very well seasoned, and heavenly. If you have never tried it - definitely do not knock it, this was my favorite of the 3 tacos. The closest thing I can say the texture is comparable to is roast beef. I was stuffed after eating just this taco alone. The second taco, the carne asada was very juicy and also very flavorful. The chicken taco was good as well but because it was chargrilled pretty long it almost more saltier in taste in comparison to the other tacos. However, with the fresh lime and hot sauce it easily balanced the chicken taco. In all, I spent a little under than $13 - which is amazing. If you're craving Mexican, make Los Loros a place to visit! read more

This evening my family and I celebrated my aunts birthday at her favorite Mexican restaurant in Mandarin! We all enjoyed the clean and comfortable seating. While enjoying our beverages as we waited for our food the staff was friendly and polite. Our server named Elisa was super kind and professional. Food was delicious and fresh. I'm looking forward to returning again in the new year and continue celebrating with friends and family while enjoying great food at Los Loros! read more

This spot on Baymeadows is easy to miss due to its location but it is a good option for Mexican. I went with a group of 30 on a Saturday to support the restaurant after it sponsored a local youth baseball team. The restaurant is large and there is plenty of seating for groups of all sizes. It is decorated in traditional Mexican restaurant motifs with both table and booth seating. Prior to the meal, the brought out warm chips and a chilled salsa. Both were enjoyed. I ordered lunch taco salad with ground beef. I was surprised you could order from the lunch menu on a weekend but it was a nice option. The taco salad was not your typical bowl but more of a large taco shell, but it was still really good. Some of the other diners around me got lunch fajitas, a chicken and shrimp dinner with queso and quesadillas. Everything was well cooked but the ground beef was a little bland. The servers did a great job getting the food out despite the large number and we all ended up eating as a group though there was a little confusion at times as to who ordered what due to the large number of persons. I had to have my check corrected after the server charged me for a drink I did not order (at $4 a piece for a soda I had to fix that). One of the ladies I was with said her office goes there for lunch and has never had a bad meal. Definitely worth a look. read more

Always my go to neighborhood restaurant for Mexican. They have an extensive menu of fresh authentic recipes. A family owned business, not a chain of processed and frozen corporate junk food.

You ever hear about a place and great things for a while but take your time getting there? That's the case with Los Loros~ I've been hearing wonderful things and people telling me this is the best Mexican food in Jax for years now. John and I used to live really close too! But we never stopped in- why? I have no idea. Friday evening I was in the area and John wanted Mexican- so we popped in. The restaurant layout is a long bar as you enter and at the end (right) opens into a large dining room with an elevated center for seating. There was a large party seated in the upper center, but still plenty of surrounding table filled on both the upper and lower deck. While we were there, a musician set up and was singing and strumming guitar by the bar. Wonderful! John was tickled by the carafe of salsa. Yes, you pour your own salsa- lol. It's the little things! And big things- the food was spectacular. A little more expensive than some of our go to places around town- but the portions more than made up for it. We will be back for sure! read more

Well I have to say the time before last I was disappointed in the service and food quality. Not much taste, the chicken quesadilla was not very good and asked for two (2), full order. But After an extended period of time only half order came out for me and my friend (we ordered the same). We had to also walk to the counter to seek drink refill because the server never returned to the table. We did, however, point out the error in the order to which she said ok sorry and walked away. Fast forward - we returned last night figuring it was just an off night and ordered the same & the same thing happened only half order came out with oh sorry and yep had to track down someone to get drink refill. Not sure will return because no service and they do not listen to customer desires. read more

My husband and I ordered 3 adult meals from Los Loros. I picked up my orderly promptly for carry out and I asked if I could have a side of chips and salsa. The woman bringing me my food told me no, it's extra. I asked, well if I were dining in, it would be unlimited chips and salsa? She didn't say anything, I went on to say I ordered almost $60 worth of food, could I please have a side of chips and salsa. Again she told me no but I could order it and pay at the bar. No thank you, Los Loros, and we will not be back for such poor customer service. I know times are tough, but 3 adult meals should warrant an order of chips and salsa. read more

Los Loros is a hidden treasure at the Baymeadows and Old King Rd intersection. We have been here once before but never reviewed. Our first time, my wife and I me the manager.

Updating with a major TIP! If you want one of the tastiest margaritas of all time, order a pitcher of the Tejana margarita here. It's dangerously smooth, and so delicious!!! Made with Jose Cuervo Gold. (This is Los Loros' mid-range margarita, above the house mix, and below the top shelf). For cost comparisons, the Tejana pitcher is $25 and the top shelf (made with 1800) is $50 per pitcher. read more

Los Loros Mexican Restaurant - Margaritas - Mexican Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

I probably a bit biased and over-rating them a little bit but I love their cazuelada. My family and friends seem to enjoy the spot too. The ambience is somewhat bog standard for a Mexican restaurant. No issues with the wait staff and they have been friendly in my experience. The only negative thing is the parking and entry are a little rough as they share a strip center parking lot. read more

I enjoyed this place a couple times but when the place is empty it doesn't make sense to sit 2 families back to back in booths especially when the booths move and you're trying to get comfortable. For the food; it's great food, minus the burritos and enchiladas. I tried both and they both come with ground beef wrapped in a tortilla. Disappointing. I'm from the hood in CA and these wasn't it. Not to mention they won't help you find a meal combo that suits your appetite without charging 14$ extra for corn tortilla tacos with beans, rice and a burrito with something else in it. I enjoyed the food and atmosphere, but they could do a little better. Then they wouldn't have a choice to sit people wherever they could read more

Los Loros Mexican Restaurant - Enchilada on the right side - Mexican Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

Food was good I like their steak tacos! Service was okay. Ambiance was nice cool paintings and different colors I like the idea.

Food is delicious and service is great. Family owned. Been going here for the 20+ years I have lived in Jacksonville.

It has been a long time since I've been here. I think the last time was when the name was Los toros. Got in right away and got the chips and salsa. Waitress was very nice and started us with drinks. I wanted a negra modelo and anna wanted a mojito. Didn't have the mint for the mojito so changed to a frozen margarita. Anna ordered her usual taco salad with the steak. I couldn't find what I wanted with combo dinners. 2 soft tacos and enchilada with rice and beans. We adjusted one of the combos. Came out shortly. Pretty good. Could have been a little warmer. Place is pretty good and service was great. Good place for the mexican food fix. read more

This place was fantastic! We got there just before their 2 for 1 margaritas special ended at 7 and they were soooo delicious. We got the frozen lime and strawberry and the consistency was perfect. The chips and salsa came out before I could even sit down, and the salsa was so fresh! I got the chiles poblanos and it was so heavenly. My bf got the fajitas across the boarder and it featured steak, shrimp, chicken and veggies. We were thoroughly satisfied and full. Our waiter Alex was so great and made sure the margaritas kept coming. At 7 they also turned the music up a little bit so we danced in our seats as we sipped our margs. Great atmosphere and great food. read more

I have rated this place Time and again it was always my go to Mexican restaurant. The last two times I have been there I have not had the same experience. Sunday in particular we went in there and the air conditioner felt like it was struggling. We asked the server about And she downplayed it as if it was nothing. All four of us that ate there were sweating, and it was a miserable experience. 16 minutes there are so many Mexican restaurants in town, I may never go there again. read more

WHY DIDNT ANYONE TELL ME ABOUT CHIMICHANGAS? OMG!.. so it was a few hours till closing. Happy Hour 2 pm-7 pm 2 for 1 margaritas!..LETS GO! ..This restaurant is oddly placed but you walk into the bar. Towards the back corner is the hostess stand and cashier. I was seated immediately there were 4 other tables seated. I received many smiles and complimentary chips with salsa. The waiter suggested the house margarita. I wanted a shrimp burrito but they offered me their seafood chimichanga it has shrimp crab & scallops. I ordered the tortilla soup in case I didn't like the chimichanga. Everything was really good but I didn't see my server after I received my food. read more

This particular Mexican restaurant sits in a standalone building in the Shoppes of Baymeadows shopping plaza. The building is a bit worn looking and it is the type of place that you might drive by a thousand times without a second glance. In fact, I have done this very thing, but a client wanted to meet here for lunch so we decided here at noon. The service is both friendly and fast. The food is good and my client told me that the margaritas were good, though it was too early for either of us as it was noon on a busy Wednesday work day. If you find yourself craving Mexican, this would be a good place to stop. I definitely recommend here. read more

Los Loros Mexican Restaurant - Mexican Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

I always enjoy the enchiladas Suiza with shrimp and substitute flour tortillas for the corn tortillas. The tacos are okay and only 99 cents on Tuesday. The Margaritas are not strong like a lot of Mexican restaurants. So I won't bother with those anymore. I ordered flan on Tuesday night and was for the first time disappointed. It was not very good like it usually is. The churros are usually wonderful but chose the flan instead. I will be back but will definitely go back to my shrimp suizas enchiladas! read more
