Lobo — Restaurant in New York

Can't say enough good things about this place; there really aren't any other good Tex-Mex places in Brooklyn (this end of Brooklyn, at least). The place is very spacious (second floor is huge and there's an outdoor garden), the margaritas are delicious, and the food always comes out in huge portions — a welcome relief given that surrounding restaurants charge the same price but give you half the portion.

I usually come in towards the end of the week and hang out at the bar which is really an excellent centerpiece when you walk in: a great, big wooden bar with the Texas longhorn hanging in the middle of it. They have only one TV in the place (at the end of the bar) as far as I know, but the bartenders are nice enough to put on any game you want, so that's a big plus.

It's just a friendly, welcoming place I can't think of any downside to this place. Although, one reviewer said that they were disappointed that the cash-only mandate wasn't stated more specifically upfront and, on that one point, I can commiserate; I was a bit surprised when I first learned that, as well. It COULD be in larger print on the menu or, perhaps, on the door when you walk in, but, hey,...

Eh, I'm a little disappointed that I was disappointed in this place.

Was really craving queso and, after reading some decent reviews, queso was the first thing I saw on their menu. So, my boyfriend and I gave it a try. The queso was good, not mind-blowing good, but good enough. The salsa had a nice bite to it and the chips were fresh.

But, I ordered the carne guisada tacos. In a normal case, there's a ton of flavor in this dish, but it was majorly lacking. The meat was good and tender but there was just zero flavor. My boyfriend had the pulled pork burrito and said the same - it just needed more flavor and spice.

Went to pay and found out they only accept cash... but they have an ATM upstairs. Of course they do. I get that some places do this, but for a sit down place I expect to see somewhere before ordering that it's cash only. Guess if they told you then they'd lose a lot of business soooo, it is what it is.

All in all, I'm not pressed to come back here but I'm glad I tried it, it was good service and...

First time in this restaurant. It has a very cozy ambient. Waiters don't bother. Today they had the Margarita Happy Hour and it's pretty much the best one's i've had so far. The bartender definitely knows how to mix it up the right way. For plates I ordered The Wolf, Pollo Borracho and chilli with cheese and chips. I thought it would be around 100.00 for this dinner and was way much less than expected plus tip. The food was perfect and it seems the chef was working hard to bring the food with the highest standards possible.

Highly recommended for groups, couples and even family.

Edit:

We went here again after years due to moving somewhere else and we ordered:

Full rack baby ribs Chili with cheese Mac n Cheese with bacon Rice and beans Pineaple Juice Margarita Pacifico beer

Every single plate and drink was delicious. Erick the waiter, went above and beyond to ensure everything was great.

Shoutout to the kitchen crew for prepping the food...
