Taco Lobo - Mexican restaurant in Bellingham - 117 W Magnolia St, USA

Good Mexican food, fun atmosphere, and a little different. We stopped in for lunch. The chicken tamale and carnitas tacos were wonderful. The tortillas were homemade -- kudos! But the Al Pastor burrito was not so great; the meat was more like goulash and a tad watery, which didn't work very well in a burrito (probably better in a taco). The rice and beans were good. Overall, the food was tasty and a welcome variation on standard Mexican fare. We enjoyed the location and the festive, spacious dining room. Very cheerful and bright. Pay-first counter service seems like a mismatch for such a nice-looking restaurant. But the table delivery was quick and courteous. We'll be back for sure, and I recommend you try this place.

Not even worth 1 star! We ordered, and they gave us the number and said the server will bring the food to the table. We’ve been waiting and waiting and realized other folks who ordered after us got the food, I was curious where’s my orders. we’ve been waiting more than 30mins and had to go! I started thinking about Is this racism? Is this poor service? 1. Where’s the apology? 2. Make better excuse rather than “our kitchen is busy”. (You had 2tables occupied- how busy the store is!) 3. You cant refund on the order as the food was made? The manager, whose name Bill apologized but I feel 0% he feels sorry to me. Two burritos paid $35 so regretful, I should have gone burgers instead.

Stopped by and grabbed a burrito asada with rice and beans to go. Order took around 8 minutes or so, total came out to 18 dollars. There was a one dollar to-go fee. Nice space, had bathrooms, a salsa bar, and plenty of seating. Good atmosphere and customer service, the employees seemed like friendly people. The burrito was serviceable, but I don't think it was worth the money. A Que Tacos has a supreme burrito for $8 that's probably a third larger. However Taco Lobo is downtown, has plenty of seating, and shows sports for those who are into watch tv while they eat. All in all, nice spot, but I doubt I'll go back.

For many years, we thoughly enjoyed the food, service, atmosphere, and other customers. Unfortunately, downtown Bellingham has lost much of the businesses, especially since Covid. Not only has the price gone up for food, but so has the parking. The restaurant is clean and well maintained. We like the owner, recipes, and the salsa bar.

This place has a good atmosphere, excellent food, and a variety of great salsas, free salsa bar. And you get a basket of chips for each order. Everything I go to Bellingham I go to this place. I believe it's closed on Sunday, or at least when I have been there on a Sunday. Park out front or around, there is street parking as well as parking lot nearby.

Taco Lobo is a gem in Bellingham! The flavors of their tacos are outstanding, especially the carne asada. The vibrant atmosphere and friendly staff make dining here a pleasure. Prices are reasonable, and the portions are generous. I highly recommend trying their homemade salsas, which add a perfect kick to your meal. A must-visit for any taco lover!

Finally visited this restaurant! Our other locale changed their special so we stopped in here. A very swanky joint, with a huge menu. Order at the counter, take your number and find a seat. An awesome salsa bar to hit up while you wait, which won't be long ;) portions are nice and prices are decent.

I don't like to say these negative comments, but my friend and I both agree. We did not care for the flavors of the green salsa, the guacamole, the tortilla chips, chicken burrito or the enchiladas. Atmosphere and colors were great. And the Margarita on the Rocks was Excellent. But I'm sorry to say we won't be returning, unless it's for a Margarita and a Cerveza.
