Come to LOBO for 'NYC's Best Tex-Mex' NY Press-
- Fresh juice Margaritas
- Tasty and inexpensive food
- Casual and festive atmosphere
Having been born and raised in Texas and Oklahoma, all I ever ate was Tex-Mex food. In 1994, I moved to NYC and was totally disenchanted with Mexican food options. It was not bad, but it sure was not Tex-Mex. So, in 2003 I opened LOBO in Brooklyn to satisfy the hankering most of us displaced Texans have for chili con queso, rich and spicy con carne sauce and the basic yet flavorful cheese enchiladas. I was lucky enough to have access to one the most famous Tex-Mex kitchens in Austin called Maudie's. My chef Leonel Ramos and I went to Austin to get training in their kitchens. I shopped around for some authentic Texas decor and the result is a fun, relaxed place to enjoy a fresh juice margarita with infused tequila and a plate of hot and spicy enchiladas with Tex-Mex con carne sauce. Come on in and enjoy!

What great service!
This was my first time eating here. Didn't know what to order, but the cheesesteak sounded good. Our waitress, Linda, suggested I substitute the pulled pork for the steak, and boy, was she right! I ordered an extra one to bring back to my roommate. She was terrific as a server -- very patient, sweet and accommodating. I'm coming back AND asking for her. Thanks.

Great food, drinks, service
I ended up going here on a saturday night, without a reservation, with 6 friends for my birthday. I'd originally planned to go to Frankies down the street but the rudeness of their greeter drove me away (see the Frankies 457 review I wrote). We came to Lobo and were seated immediately in the backyard and were treated to GREAT mexican food, very strong and yummy margaritas, and great service from the lovely bartendress who did not remotely rush us at all, as we spent hours back there having drinks after everyone else had left the back patio. I wish I'd caught her name, because she was a doll. Thanks, Lobo, for a great, relaxing birthday dinner! We all had a great time.
Pros: Food, Drinks, Service, Space
Cons: None

It was just OK.
Good mexican restaurants are hard to come by in our area, so I had high hopes for Lobo. Needless to say, I was mildly disappointed. The food was just OK, nothing spectacular. The drinks were expensive, and the service was spotty, even though the restaurant wasn't that crowded. The most disappointing aspect was that they did not serve black beans, only refried. Overall, it wasn't terrible, but the overall dining experience pales in comparison to other restaurants nearby.

Very Bland!!!
I ate at Lobo's a year ago and it was okay. I really enjoyed the fact that you could eat outdoors, especially on a nice spring day. It wasn't the best nor the worst. However, I went there over the weekend for lunch and the food was not good at all. It was devoid of flavoring. I ordered a fish taco and it had no flavor at all. And, the rice had the same problem....no flavor. I was very dissatisfied and couldn't finish my meal.
Pros: Outdoor seating
Cons: The bland food
