    Small combo. Kinda boring
    Lori H.

    It is your typical Mexican place with the typical menu items. Nothing really unique here. The staff offers up chips and salsa when you sit down, but they DO NOT mention it's an extra $2.00. They make you think they're complimentary which I find very sneaky. You don't realize it until the bill comes. That knocked it down a star. What knocked it down another star was the horrible underseasoned, flavorless taco. It's ground beef and I swear they didn't even salt it. Taco Bell is so much more seasoned and had tons more flavor. Service was spotty but the server was nice. I don't think I'll be returning. There are so many other options out there.

    Apparently there's been a rebranding: what was "El Diablo Mexican Restaurant" is now "El Diablo…read moreTaco Bar". Okay; they still have a full-fledged Mexican-restaurant menu, and maybe added "taco bar" stuff to it. All I know is that we went there last night and both really enjoyed it. And having a bar with 6 different salsas (?) to try made it a lot more fun! According to our waiter, they sometimes have a lunch buffet on Sundays. Sounds delicious! Original review (El Diablo Mexican Restaurant): If you're in the mood for something different, this is a good option. The menu is filled with choices you wouldn't find at a typical Mexican restaurant. (FYI I LOVE the food at a typical Mexican restaurant, especially Tex-Mex.) I liked my entree, but would probably not get it again. My wife's Vali's Fries were better. The folks working here (owners?) were super friendly, and I would like to see this place succeed.

    Food was amazing. Drinks were strong and delicious! We sampled their house. Margarita, Cadillac…read moremargarita and Diablo. All were fantastic! Each with their own taste, so it depends on what you like. The salsa bar was legit for real! This is serious Mexican food in Northern Colorado! Chips were strong enough to hold salsa, fresh, crispy, and delicious. Many people say we have enough Mexican food restaurants in Loveland, but I would love to argue that there's plenty of "Mexican food restaurants", but none that are that great. This is a great!

    Finally got to check this place out after hearing my hubby say he really liked it. He had been…read morethere several times. He said it reminded him of El Pollo Loco. We came in and they weren't busy. You go to the front and order off the menu. You get a number and they bring the food to your table. We ordered a whole chicken with a couple of sides. Came with tortillas and some really good sauces. Also tried the sweet potato empanada. Everything looked great and generous when it came to the table. When we started to make our tacos, we found the chicken to be kind of dry. It had good flavor, but the white meat was definitely dry. I really liked the flavor of the chicken. The beans were different. They were very loose with a little cheese on top. They tasted good and with the homemade tortilla and chicken was OK. I liked all the salsas, they were definitely homemade. The Green was my favorite. The empanada crust was crispy and tasty. The inside was a beef make sure with some pieces of sweet potato. Not what I expected but I enjoyed it. This place is really cute. Right when you come in, you feel like you're in Mexico. bright, colorful tiles, and Spanish decor They have self serve water. I like this feature because I am a water drinker. The receptacles were very cool looking. Really cold water too. We had a couple of beers which were nice and cold. The owners were very nice and gave us extra cheese and sour cream when I asked for it. I definitely will come back and give this another try.
