Loved this place. The portions were huge. The prices were reasonable. This humongous burger was only $24 and I had got a mango juice that was delicious and only $3. The place was empty but our server was attentive and checked on us often. Definitely will be back to try more!! Absolutely loved this place!!

An exceptional experience at El Fuerte de Loreto I attended the wine dinner and it truly exceeded my expectations. The service was outstanding—attentive, friendly, and professional throughout the entire evening. Every dish was excellent, beautifully presented, and perfectly paired with wines that elevated each flavor. You can really feel the attention to detail and the passion for creating a memorable dining experience. I will definitely be back. Highly recommended!

I actually visited this place awhile back and have been wanting to go back since ! Everything was delicious. The customer service was great as well. The only thing I did not like was how crispy the bacon was cooked which is how they make it so I sent that back. Prices are also very affordable but keep in mind that all sides from the French toast are separate.

Went here for a second visit before heading to a show at The Filmore. Made a reservation online, but it wasn't too crowded so we could have walked in without one tonight. We were seated and greeted immediately. The entire staff were very friendly and attentive. The bread and butter to start was fresh, warm, and scrumptious. We stared with 2 apps, a queso dip and an octopus salad which was on special. I would get both of these again in a heartbeat. The octopus was tender and not overly chewy. The queso was piping hot and delicious. We got the beef tacos and the salmon with shrimp special. Both were hot, and well cooked. The salmon was not dry at all and the shrimp were fairly large. This place is BYOB which I consider a plus lol. Will be returning again when I'm in the area.

Lovely local restaurant. Everything we’ve tried so far was delicious - Hispanic dishes, Italian dishes, smoothies. You’ll get a warm greeting when arriving, attentive service throughout, and gratitude for dining. Atmosphere feels like eating at your family’s restaurant.
