    Margaritas are the best in the city. Creative tequila fusions partnered with swagalicious fresh squeezed juice will solve all your life problems. Deep list of tequilas and Mezcals too.

    Great margaritas and chili con queso - go for that over the guacamole. Also, my veggie fajita salad was good. So was the burrito. Ask for extra sour cream on the side (and say please).

    Good Fajitas. More than enough to share with one other person after the chips & salsa (& guacamole... I'm a sucker for guac) have come out beforehand. If I'm going to get picky, the guac was just ok.

    Great service, generous portions that they allow you to tweak with to your taste, fun atmosphere and of course fantastic Enchiladas

    Solid tequila and mezcal selection. Great service. For brunch, get the jalapeno grits. Solid Tex-Mex food. Cash only and, although there is an ATM on site, it is usually out of cash by Sunday.

    I love the combo platters — The Wolf and The Alamo. Everything I’ve had here is good!

    The MARGARITAS ARE INSANE! Also, the Diablo soul food is amazing. The fajita salad polo boracho, quesadillas and the hot wings are a must as well

    Queso and enchiladas are the way to go! But everything is delicious you can't go wrong. It's our go-to Mexican in BK

    I remember liking the burritos, but they have really big margaritas, so take that with a grain of salt!

    Tasty food, decent margaritas, and a nice bar. It's quaint without being claustrophobic. Great music - whoever's iPod/iPhone that is, keep it up. I'll keep downloading.

    No they don't have brisket tacos but they do have the best Tex-Mex style queso and there's also an entirely serviceable chicken friend steak. Want to say it's cash only but there's an ATM upstairs.

    The shrimp salad is a surprising star on an altogether excellent menu. Say hello to Gene!

    Caldo de pollo. Best kept non-secret menu item. It will clear your sinuses but also make you feel right at home.

    Get a grande sized Sangre de Lobo margarita and devour one of their chalupas! Jalapeño cheese grits for brunch, too.

    Solid margs, great fish tacos, but a bit too much queso on everything if you order the queso side.

    Absolutely the original lime margaritta is the best thing during lunch. Refried beans are vegetarian! Free chips and salsa once you sit down. Happy hour Mon-Fri 4-7pm

    Lobo makes the best wings you've never had. Consistently perfect. Start with the garlic and the bbq. You're in the know now.

    If Tim (tall one) is working, order the Uncle Tio, named after a Lobo cook. It's like a smoky Manhattan, with tequila, Mezcal & a touch of sweetness. It is kickass.

    The veggie burrito is delicious. Order it without the rice & live in heaven with every bite.

    Best Tex-Mex this Texan has found yet in Brooklyn. Upgrade to the Cadillac margaritas, it's worth it.

    Good food and drinks...but if you are going to have a four square special that is only on certain days and times, the special information should say that.

    Their salsa is so ridiculously good! Margaritas and chimichangas are winners.

    The "Old Fashion Taco Platter" is fucking incredible. Get it with spinach and a few house margaritas. This place is Tex-Mex through and through.

    Not the greatest food, but this neighborhood is failing pretty hard at Mexican in general. The Texas Tea and margarita menu make up for it.

    Cheap margaritas, pretty good queso and an entirely serviceable chicken fried steak which can be hard to find.

    Try La Pitaya blanco (by Riazul) in your next margarita for an inexpensive but delicious upgrade.

    Do yourself a solid and add a sunnyside up egg to any of the enchiladas.
