Reviews for El Poco Lobo in London, ON
Nice little place. I ordered a sweet potato and a carnitas taco. out of the two I really enjoyed the carnitas taco. The tacos... did end up getting a little saggy before I finish eating them so a second tortilla would be great to avoid tacos falling apart.All in all food was delicious. Read more
Had a great experience here. We managed to get a patio seat on a beautiful evening with my Chihuahua Mia and 2 friends. The... staff was incredibly kind and attentive. The food was amazing, very unique and flavorful, and they played great music too. Read more
Went there with my family for the first time very disappointed. Heard all the reviews and I?ve been wanting a nice modern... Mexican restaurant to go to haven?t found it yet. First off get there the alcohol selection is next to nothing. My father andI aren?t big into craft beers but on a Saturday night they run out of CO2 so dos equis that?s the only thing closest to coronais out so go figure. The only thing to drink there for my father and I was margaritas which is ok and was great for the restof the family not for us should of been the foreshadowing of a bad experience. So once we get are tacos which are priced at $6ea all but three are all cold and soggy. Also putting this out there are server made a few gestures that I?m not fawned of. Not knowing where are table was placed which is right by the stairs so I can look right at the chefs and the servers putting inthe orders. Well I have a few food allergies and well the server made it seem that serving are table was a inconvenience to himand to the cooks. All and all I?m not sure if I can recommend this restaurant just doesn?t seem well equipped to serve foundmyself wanting more and found myself disappointed by the experience then anything. Read more
Love that I can order online and pick up. I eat my burrito in the bath and it is my favourite thing to do. The burritos are... excellent in taste, size, variety and ingredients. I usually I have enough left over to have as a little breakfast snack. I lovethe lime crema. I have also had the taco salad and I highly recommend. Read more
If you're looking for a good taco place this is definitely not it; absolutely the worst tacos I've ever had before. My friends... and I all tried the battered fish taco and they were all soggy and cold...could not eat. I also had the carnitas taco and it wasagain very soggy but better than the battered fish. The Supreme fries were OK, big portions and good for sharing. The onlyreason I would ever come back here is for the classic margaritas. Read more
I feel bad giving only 3 stars.. I am a big fan of everything the Wolfe bros! But this was not a great experience. I was tempted... to give lower honestly, but my faith in them has me at a 3. Went there with a friend, ordered chips, guac and red salsa tostart. I hated the red salsa, it tasted like smokey bbq sauce. But the server was nice enough to get me some pico instead. Thefresh chips were awesome though, and so is the guacamole! ***Our chips came within 5 minutes of ordering everything, then wewaited an hour and 10 minutes for our mains. It was ridiculous! Enjoyed 2 fabulous margaritas with the meal, I stronglyrecommend those! For our mains; he got the battered fish burrito, we shared fries supreme, and because I love to try many thingsand review, I ordered the Chalupa with chicken, bison taco, and the beef cheek taco. He liked his burrito, but didn't love it.The fries supreme 'could've ' been good, but for some reason the ground bison was very granular in texture, and the fries seemednot fresh cut? I might be wrong, but I felt stupid because I told my friend how good the fries are at every other restaurant the Wolfe pack has.. these were completely different. The chicken chalupa (deep fried tortilla), was hard and chewy, stalearound all the edges, and kind-of soggy. Also seemed only slightly deep fried? Both tacos were cold as well, but alsocompletely soggy. (I think on top of waiting forever for our food, it probably sat ready in the kitchen for a bit). I againdisliked the ground bison meat. Very granular and dry. But the beef cheek itself was quite tasty and tender. However I couldn'teat either like a taco, because it was so soggy, I had to just eat the insides with a fork :( Before making this review, Iconsidered all factors. Including if it was busy. It's only 3 tables inside, and they emptied to just us for the last hour. Isaw 2 or 3 people in the kitchen at least... So why the wait? There seemed to be enough staff upstairs and down?

What a wonderful spot to stop in and grab a taco! The food is slightly more expensive than it should be. That said the food... was delicious. They had several gluten-free options and made several dishes gluten-free. The seating unless on the patio isnot accessible. Great atmosphere. #localguides #glutenfree #gf Read more
The food here has always been great. We tend to order online for pickup through their website and they almost always have it... ready and waiting when we arrive. We also normally add some notes to the meal like "no tomatoes on the fries" or something likethat and they have never missed a single alteration, which is better than most restaurants in London. I tend to go back andforth between the more traditional fair and the "think outside the bell" menu items as both are amazing for different reasonsand satisfy different cravings. Read more
