Lobera Tacos & Tequila

Heaven a month ago

I left a review back in January and I have lobera a 5 star. I went back earlier this week to half the menu being cut off, they got rid of most of the old staff, and overall got new management. They don’t let you substitute sides anymore for an extra taco. They also choose the side of black beans,pinto, or red rice for your sides now with a meal. If you want fajitas this isn’t the place to go anymore . They no longer serve those. I loved the birria tacos luckily they still have those on the menu BUT they made the tacos smaller, and the plate bigger. They don’t chop up your onions or cilantro finely. Pictures below for comparison( left photo is January right photo is recent). This was my go to place for birria tacos and sadly I won’t be eating here anymore. I’ve come many times to the point where the staff recognized me every time. The new owner served us our food which she didn’t say anything when she came to the table and almost dropped my plate on the table. Lobera was a great place to wind down and get your belly full. After I finished my meal I was still hungry when I used to get full and often had to take leftovers.

I usually don't necessarily like Mexican food, but this place absolutely floored me. The quality of the ingredients was superb, and healthy, even the tortilla chips were nice and oily. The shrimp was doused in the perfect dressing, and best of all, prices were still reasonable at around $15 per dish. Would absolutely come back!

I wish I could give 10 stars to this incredible restaurant. We are from New York and are used to some pretty good Mexican restaurants. This one is in our top five favorite in the whole country! From the friendly waitresses and atmosphere, to the all you can eat chips and homemade salsa! This establishment has every flavor you need on your pallet. We had three dollar beers and the selection was incredible for the price! From chips to dessert we would eat here weekly if we lived closer! Highly highly highly recommend this Mexican establishment.

Not a Mexican food fan at all. Despite that this place was wonderful. Fast polite service, GIGANTIC portions at super reasonable prices and the manager added the fan duel channel to their TV service just so we could watch the Hurricanes game. Food was hot, tasty, and prepared beautifully and got to us quickly. A shrimp and steak APC was loaded with meat and I couldn't even finish it. A mountain of food for $16? Unheard of and incredible. If you like Mexican food this is your place!!

I discovered Lobera a few months ago I decided to go a different route and try something different so I chose to go with the Birria Tacos. First bite I fell in love. The tacos were fresh, hot, flavorful, and delicious. I go here every week sometimes more than once. The staff is incredible, always asking if everything is ok. They always have a positive attitude and I get greeted every time I walk in. Overall it’s a good place to sit and chill while you eat I definitely recommend. Lobera Tacos and Tequila is by far THE best Mexican restaurant in Raleigh.
