El Burro Loco

Friendly service, a menu with imagination and high quality ingredients, prepared with care. Try the chilaquiles or chorizo scramble for breakfast, excellent carnitas for lunch or dinner. Great stop going to or from the mountain. Pros: Great breakfasts more

Living up here, I've been in every restaurant on the mountain, and El Burro Loco is the only one that I frequent. The combination of non pretentious, friendly down to earth service, great Mexican food that doesn't tear me up like most, and thirteen tap handles keeps me coming back. They also make great specialty Margaritas and a killer Mojito. Pros: Great staff, great food, and thirteen tap handles Cons: Only thirteen tap handles more

Being a local, I think we're more critical of the businesses in our area. We go to (or went to as of yesterday) el Burro Loco at least twice weekly. It's not so much the food that's an issue, it's the extremely terrible service. I mean terrible, horrible service. It's slow, the waitstaff is rude and airheaded; people who come in 20 minutes after you will be fed before you are; and they will take forever just to acknowledge you once you arrive. The service has become even worse since they opened the cantina. Dinner is a long, arduous process, and the staff is always rushed and full of excuses as to why you can't get a refill on your water while you're waiting forever for your food, and why it's taking so long to just get you a refill on your salsa and chips because you're dying of hunger waiting for the ktichen to produce food that is made up of all the same ingredients in different configurations. It's mexican food, for Christs's sake, not gourmet. Pros: Decent specials, good carnitas, warmly decorated Cons: Terrible service, slow kitchen, unattentive waitstaff more
