EL LOBO MEXICAN RESTAURANTE — Restaurant in Duluth

This was my first time eating here yesterday. Upon doing a Google Search for the best Mexican Food in Duluth, GA. They had great reviews. So I decided to give them a try.

I moved here to the state of Georgia 4 years ago from Denver, Co where they have numerous good authentic Mexican Food Restaurants. In fact my best friend is from Mexico. So I know real authentic Mexican Food and when it is good or not or authentic in terms of flavor etc.

I have tried several different restaurants since moving here that had great reviews. But to my surprise and to my disappointment they were not good at all in my opinion and I was very shocked by their almost 5 star rating.

But in their defense. If they have never ever been exposed too or have eaten real authentic Mexican Food and aren't acquainted with their flavors and spices. They may think thats what it taste like and believe it's authentic when it is not at all.

Having said that. I almost gave up on my search of finding real authentic Mexican Food until I decided to do a new Google Search a year later.

And I came across this Restaurant which is 20 mins from my house. After reading several different customer reviews who stated that they made it their go to place once a week after trying their food for the first time.

Let me say this: Hands Down this is the best Mexican Food Restaurant that I have ever eaten at here in Georgia. It is Real Authentic Mexican Food.

Everything was Super Fresh and Homemade. They have the best chips and Salsa . The Best Burritos, Enchiladas, Tacos, and Chili Relleno. Without exaggeration. It was like Heaven in my mouth. ..lol 😂.

It was absolutely delicious. The portions are huge. Everything is Super Fresh.I was shocked that the place wasn't packed out. I had a opportunity to meet the owners the Wife Jessie and her husband Enrique.

The restaurant is fairly new and has only been opened for about 5 months. So that explains some of the reason and I also feel that it may be because of its location and lack of advertisement.

Having said let's put them on the map and spread this by word of mouth. I pray that they never go...

I was very disappointed in this place. I saw the great reviews and was excited to try it. We ordered pick up.

The menu is very confusing. There was a 3 taco option on the menu with a description of flour tortilla, beef or chicken, cilantro, onion, salsa. I also saw on the menu a 2 taco with rice and beans but no description of the taco, so I’m assuming it’s the same as the other taco described. It was not!

This taco I received was way lower quality. Hard shell (never mentioned anywhere else on menu), ground beef, shredded lettuce, shredded cheese (again, never described on anywhere menu). The ground beef tasted and looked like school cafeteria ground beef (pictured). Taco Bell tacos are better than this taco. The tacos I make at home from the grocery store and taco seasoning are better than this taco. I paid $42.

I asked for a side of guacamole it wasn’t even real guacamole - it looked like wholly guacamole from the grocery store. (Pictured)

I was very disappointed from the reviews saying this was “authentic Mexican food” because what we were served was certainly not. And maybe we ordered not the authentic tacos? But that is not specified on the menu that these tacos are different than the authentic tacos (if there even are authentic tacos here!). The chips and queso were good.

Pictures of the taco, guac, and menu description differences are provided...

Delicious! Delicious! Delicious! If you’re looking for some authentic style Tex-mex food, go here. This hole in the wall, family owned restaurant opened very recently and totally underrated and unnoticed.

Wife and I went in for dinner, we ordered guacamole and asked for it to be chunky, they offer it as a creamy style as well, which came as sides with the Chimichangas and Carne Azada dinners we had. The steak was good, a bit on the well done side but still good! We got the chicken chimichangas which was cooked perfectly, crunchy on the outside and really tender and juicy shredded chicken inside.

The star of our dinner was the chunky Tex Mex Guacamole! My wife and I agreed that it was the best we’ve had and we’ve lived in Texas. The portion was really good size and made fresh to order. We didn’t think we’d eat everything but it was so good we had to keep on going.

We will be back...
