Los Corrals

1st time here. Server Leslie was excellent. Food was authentic. Chips were still warm from being freshly fried. Wow! Chicken in fried tacos for me and a steak burrito for my husband. Frozen margarita on the side. Highly recommend this place.

I do not like giving negative reviews but I seriously have to from our experience tonight! My family has been coming here since before I was born. And when I tell you that we will NEVER go back seriously breaks my heart. The presentation of the tacos was nice but the Tacos were beyond greasy and the meat was gritty. The tacos were so greasy that the meat broke through the shell. The tops of the taco was the exact opposite. So hard that you could not bite them. I am speechless over the salsa and to say that it was absolutely disgusting is giving it a compliment. I kid you not open a can of hunts tomato sauce, pour in a pan, turn your burner on high and scorch the life out of it and sprinkle some cumin in it… that is what we were served. Cheese dip…. It was like watered down scorched off brand cheese whiz that had not been stirred all day. We tossed it all in the trash. The rice…. What used to be the absolute BEST… was hands down the worst rice I have ever had in my entire life…. It was discolored white mush with small pieces of old dried up, hard rice stirred in. Sadly I can’t even say anything nice about the chips… because they were store bought chips that were tossed into a fryer and thrown into a white paper bag. The young woman that answered the phone and that was taking money was very nice!!! The shift manager was speechless and said that he was so sorry but they were training a new cook and that the general manager would reach out to me tomorrow. Issue is…. We were hungry tonight. Waste of money, gas and without a doubt, spoiled my entire family’s appetite and really was looking forward to a great meal to also follow great conversation of taking my kids down memory lane on all of my memories from the “old” Los Corrals. Edit: General Manager has never called or returned my phone calls.

I placed an order for pickup, it was ready in :15. The hostess, Emma, was super friendly. I got the nachos supreme with chicken and fried ice cream. Everything was fresh and delicious, the portions were big and price was good. The fried ice cream was to die for.

We've been going here off and on for a long time and this time it was not good at all. For starters, the chips came to the table with about a 1/8 of and inch of grease in the bottom of the bowl and to make the salsa taste somewhat decent we had to add a lot of salt. The Mexican chili taste like water with chunks of unflavored pork. My son ordered a pork burrito, pork tamale with rice and that also came to the table with a lot of what looked like water all around the burrito and had no flavor. Needless to say we will not be going back.

Seemed like a good place at first. Until we sat down and there is something hanging out of the ceiling! We couldn’t tell what it was but still. Salsa was hot and tasted like they just poured it out of a can of pizza sauce. The server was a good sever, besides the fact when she saw that she was getting sat with us. The girl rolled her eyes and wasn’t very happy! The cheese dip tasted like it was fake and are food tasted like it sat there for hours before hand. Not the best place to eat in kanas city!

Very very disappointed! 🤢🤮🤮🤮Used to go here all the time years ago! Was excited to finally get to go back after years. All I can say is I will never go back! Was so bad, salsa was like tomatoe sauce, rice tastes like it's been cooked in old/dirty pan grease, etc. FOOD NOT good in general! The ceiling fan that is white in one of the dining areas is black from dirt. Sorry, I did not get any pictures. I should have. Service was not great either. Does waste your money

First The smell was not pleasant when we entered. The lady was nice The salsa tasted like they opened a canned tomato and poured in a bowl! Bland and NO seasoning. Slow service at 2pm on a Sunday. Barely anyone in the place. The food was not attractive and did NOT taste good either. One positive was the guacamole. It was a decent portion and good. Chips were pretty good too. Overall, will never return. Also, spicy margarita was not spicy and a tiny, tiny glass was $14.

Sat down, no ac in the restaurant. chips were hot and fresh, but the salsa tasted like literal tomato paste! we even overheard the booth come in after us complain of the same tomato issue. We were served cans of sodas instead of the advertised fountain drinks. After ordering, we received our food that looked differently than what the menu displayed. Tried to tell the staff that our food was low quality, was met with accusations of trying to dine and dash. I can see why this restaurant has a 3 star rating.

Definitely not the same! The mild sauce has no flavor and more like a bowl of blended tomatoes. The rice is gummy with no flavor and the cheese dip is more like chez whiz. If only you were consistent and would bring back the original flavor as to what it was years ago.

I attended a lecture at the Central Library from local author and historian Andrea Broomfield on Kansas City's Culinary Heritage yesterday. One of the topics that was covered was KC's long and proud Mexican Heritage in general and the birth of the "Kansas City Taco" in specific. Los Corrals was established in the 1940's and is currently the longest operating Mexican restaurant in town and plays a major part in this tradition. It only seemed right for me and my lecture buddy to traverse the 3 blocks of construction to put that history into our hands and mouths. In the late 80's and early 90's, I lived a one block from Los Corrals and I hadn't set foot in there since, I was pondering why that was until the food came. As much as I love history, Kansas City, tradition and especially tacos...Los Corrals just doesn't do it for me. They are famous for two things - warm homemade salsa and the deep fried tacos sprinkled with powdered Romano cheese. We ordered a side of guacamole with chips and salsa to start. The guac was bland as can be; it seemed to be just a smashed avocado. The salsa was just warm red juice. I was literally just dipping my chips in tomato water. The tacos were deep fried as they should be but the meat had zero taste except for the grease of the fryer. I was not only sad but embarrassed for my friend that is fairly new to town and his first time having Kansas City style tacos. It pains me to write such a review for such an established institution - especially here on Cinco de Mayo. I wish Los Corrals well, and with an almost 80 year history, thankfully there are a lot of customers that do not agree with my assessment.

I was very impressed by the food. A little story about it is my grandma was telling me that she has not been to this place in years. She was here about 20 years ago before she had retired from Hallmark and she said they had the best deep-fried tacos she ever had and boy she was right we were very impressed once again nearly 20 years later and the food is still as good as it was. It's a perfect hole in the wall place for food. We will definitely be coming back and trying other things.

Los Corrals one of the oldest Mexican restaurants in KC. *Taco Tuesday- $2 Fried Tacos *Enchilada Wednesday - $2 Enchiladas *Thirsty Thursday - All Day Happy Hour *Fajita Friday - $4 Off Fajitas *Perfect Sample Saturday - $10 Pork Burrito Spread, Beef Taco, Rice *Sunday Funday - All Day Happy Hour We tried a little bit of everything. Their spicy margaritas are really good. Service was great and it has that old Mexican Restaurant ambiance which is great.

The salsa tasted like tomato soup and ketchup, super hot in there and served coke cans. The waiter was nice but had no idea what chicken cheese and rice was and ended up giving me a slab of chicken which tasted terrible and frost bitten, smothered in a milky sauce. I cannot even call it cheese it was disgusting and every thing was cold. People seemed out of it there.

So one plate was tacos, rice and beans. Rice and beans were cold and the taco filling was chewy. Odd that it would be, but it was. The burrito plate was a solid 8 easily and had a fair temp. Waitress was good and checked on our table frequently. The restaurant has a bar area with tv and plenty of seating. I was disappointed and if I were to go back the only thing I will rave about the chips were hot and freshly fried and their salsa both hot and mild were quite tasty!

This was the weirdest meal. My husbands family owned a very well know Mexican restaurant in KC so I am always looking for something close when I don't want to make the burritos from scratch. Everyone I have talked to said that this place was great. We just went today and was highly disappointed. I don't know what this burrito spread is. So they take a tortilla and pour beans (I say pour because they were so watery) and then fold the shell. Then they top it with the pork mixture which has watery sauce. Same for the tamale. The plate had no flavor. It was just not an appealing meal. I can say I have been and won't be back.

I love this place! It is the oldest mexican restaurant in KC, has moved locations but the business is the same. I can NOT get enough of the steaming hot salsa and how perfectly it goes with their warm tortilla chips. This is the place for those days when all you need is some comfort and a house margarita on the rocks w/ salt.

Last minute dinner plans found us at Los Corrals. I loved the weirdness of this building and the different rooms. The small bar at the front was cute and so was the decoration. Service was alright, kitchen was slow. Food was not bad, but nothing spectacular. I consider myself a Mexican food connoisseur, and this menu didnt seem particularly authentic to me. We, unfortunately, got sat by some obnoxious guys. Having to listen to their conversation and nonsense was not fun. Like the food, overall Los Corrals was not bad, but didn't stand out enough for a second visit. Street parking. Short walk from streetcar line.

@loscorralskc - Kansas City, MO Had the absolute best Taco Tuesday tonight with @loscorralskc - Everything hit the spot and service was top tier! Tonight we went with some classics, but also branched out. @loscorralskc is located downtown on ninth street. They have been serving up some of the best Mexican food in Kc since 1949. Make sure to check out their Happy Hour Tuesday-Saturday 2pm-5pm We ended the night with "dessert" with the Chico Rita Frozen Sugar Marg - highly recommend! Parking is easy to navigate and it is in a great location in downtown. Staff was extremely helpful and friendly and gave us the best suggestions. The margaritas were the highlight and I highly recommend trying. Tonight we ordered: Espinaca Dip Surf & Turf Fajitas Pork Burrito Spread Beef Fried Taco Frozen Raspberry Marg Paloma House Marg Spicy Marg Chico Rita Sugar Frozen Marg

there's a reason los corrals has been around for over 70yrs. they're serving up some of the very best deep fried tacos, margaritas, and fresh, hot chips in town!! on the menu: fish tacos, pork tamales, deep fried beef tacos, kids beef taco x 2, queso, chips & salsa, and spicy margs our thoughts: loved the wide variety of menu items and the ability to mix and match your favorites. everything is so fresh and cooked to order, and especially the chips and warm salsa. the staff are so friendly, quick, and knowledgeable our tip: definitely try the deep fried taco, it was our first time trying them and it's the new favorite of our kiddos

Love this place. More nostalgic than anything (my wife introduced me to it 25 yrs ago when we were dating). Used to be a really inexpensive place to get good chow but, like every other restaurant, times have changed. Food is still just as good. Just have to pay a little more.

Service was not good.! Food was not hot barely warm!! The waitress did not even ask if we wanted anything else she just gave us our bill. I informed her we may have wanted something else and she left with an attitude. We did not ask to speak to a manager or anything. The next thing we knew a manager was at our table with her hands on her hips with an attitude. This place has a few things to learn about customer service especially when people have to pay for parking. The next thing we

Steak burrito served with cold steak, asked to have a new one made and the waitress said her manager said to just microwave it. Gross and disappointing.

Well this place has been on our list for a while so we finally went for happy hour. Margaritas are good not super strong but the flavor is good. It is a mix nothing fancy, they are what you except from a Mexican place. They do have punch card, fill it for a free margarita. The worst thing we had was the chips and salsa. The chip came out sizzling, which made me excited. They were hot but also the only flavor was old oil. Not good. The salsa tasted like marinara, not salsa. The spicy salsa wasn't spicy and little better. It came out hot too. The espinaca with chorizo was good. Really small portion compared to other places in KC. Price and size were okay for happy hour, but I would feel ripped off at the regular price. The fried taco or just their hard shell taco was good. Flavor tasted like Taco Bell. Service was really kind.

The food here was so weird. The salsa with chips and salsa was literally marinara. It was so gross. My boyfriend then ordered some white queso. It was good. I ordered pork enchiladas. They were fantastic. My boyfriend ordered a steak burrito and it was pitiful. It was bland and covered in more marinara sauce. However, the service was fantastic and the girls that waited on us were really kind. Young girls but they were attentive and friendly. 10/10 service. The vibe i. the restaurant was cool too. Very comforting. Just felt like a good old neighborhood mexican joint.

Have you ever enjoyed a meal at the first Mexican restaurant ever opened in Kansas City? Let me introduce you to Los Corrals! This restaurant is located downtown Kansas City and has been in business for over SEVENTY years. Los Corrals was opened in 1949 by the Corrals family and it has not stopped serving up warm chips & salsa, cold margaritas, packed burritos, and more since the first customer walked in! Top difference between Los Corrals and every other Mexican restaurant? The homemade salsa is actually served warm as well! Our entrée choices included the Monterey Chicken (grilled chicken topped with homemade sauce and melted cheese served with guacamole, sour cream, Pico de gallo and a side of lunch and beans) and the classic but seasoned to perfection Chicken Fajitas served with all the goodies on the side. Los Corrals is the perfect spot to visit when you are craving a tasty margarita that packs a punch! Try a flavored margarita like Blackberry or Pomegranate or live on the wild side and order a spicy marg. The restauarnt is decked out in fun & vibrant colors. We were seated quickly and were extremely pleased with the service. Add Los Corrals to your KC Bucket List today!

Okay hear me out The margaritas are so good and the queso (espanacha) was also bussin HOWEVER... These dudes literally served us MARINARA sauce for salsa. I wish I was joking lmao We've tried the chicken quesadilla, enchiladas and tacos. They were all mediocre All in all, go for a marg and queso that's it

Not only does this Restaurant have the charm of being around for a while as a mainstay in downtown Kansas City the service and the food items continue to impress. It is truly a diamond in Kansas City, Mo

The chips and food have definitely changed from what I have had in the past. Seems to lack the flavors that I always loved before. Hopefully whatever changed they will change back.

Not the best. Salsa was not very good almost tasted like marinara sauce. Food was nothing special at all. Service was not terrible

Staff was excellent but the food was not. This was my first time trying Los Corrals, I ordered a combination plate with enchiladas and fried tacos. I highly recommend the beef over the chicken. Overall the food was not good. I still ate the food but I did not think it was good and would not try this Mexican restaurant again.

Poor service and extremely poor food value/nothing like what I used to experience when I was a young boy...

"Closed for plumbing repairs" 10/27/23 until further notice is what their Instagram says.

What Was I Thinking ? Took the family to Sunday lunch after the River Market, worst idea I have had since fostering a blind wombat back during Covid. First Mistake - Should have known when the server brought me a Coke instead of the Dr.Pepper , she set it down and says, " Sorry we're out of Dr. pepper, so I brought you a coke instead. Is that allright ? ". Next up , greasy grimy glistening basket of chips, and four ramekins of what we presumed was salsa. The wax paper was dripping greasy , and it tasted so old that they probably had to put a pound of Aspercream in the fryer just to get it going for the day. Also, might begin to explain the terrible taste! The Salsa ? V8 juice with a micro-dose of concentrated cayenne pepper. At this point , we just cut our losses and bail for Jack In The Box. Then it dawned on me, all of us. This wasn't " lunch " ,...this was some kind of weird parallel food universe, beckoning us to it's health code violating culinary inner core. What To Order ? Think Safety Not Salmonella. I ordered 2 crispy beef tacos, rice and beans. I thought to myself, " Self , if I get chained to a toilet for the next 12 hours, don't let it be from the usual chicken culprit." After I let the BP oil Spill 2023 drain out of my tacos, I took a bite. The taste, the texture and the color of the " meat " was intriguing. Some dark, some light colored ,some darker colored, some smooshy, some crispy. Then I realized. This wasn't taco meat , this was monkey. Probably Sub Saharan or even Australian. To top it all off, we were over charged ! I got up and left,, and apparently it was the only functional and non compromised part of my gut at this moment because my wife waited for us to get halfway up the block before telling me how the server girl lunged at them in a huff, and that the manager had to physically throw an arm bar up to stop the aggressive food server. This " food " was so bad , the Russian Army wouldn't eat it. Next time I'll trust my gut , although permanently scarred from this experience and just go to Los Compas in Independence. Excellent everything, and my guy Jacob will take good care of you, and he hardly ever lunges at anybody !

Wow! This place has disappointed time after time. Service is slow, atmosphere is sad, and the "salsa" will send you into an immediate depression. I have been to many Mexican restaurants throughout my life, however, this is certainly the first experience in which I can say I was served Prego pasta sauce as salsa. I feel horrible for any visitors downtown expecting a great, let alone standard dining experience. Expect to leave upset and hungry for something edible!

Grabbed dinner on a Saturday night at Los Corrals. The goods: STRONG margaritas, good espinaca dip, our server recommended getting the pork in one of our dishes, and it hit the mark. The not-so-goods: service was SLOW. It wasn't busy at all, but everything came out very slowly. The chips are GREASY. Maybe not a bad thing for you, but just a heads up. We got the corrals special, and most of the food was just fine. The burrito with pork was the highlight, for sure. Overall: I think other Mexican places are better and I'm not sure I'd go back.

I've eaten here many times and it's always been good. Our waitress Emma was fantastic ! She did an excellent job of taking care of us. Los Corrals is very highly recommended !

It saddens me when a place under new ownership can not maintain standards set by previous owners. We have been coming here for years, and knew the previous owners by name. There has been a steady decline in consistency, and flavor. The new owners have updated the interior which desperately needed it. The menu has a few new options , which again was a refreshing change at first. They also added a happy hour , which includes their gauc, infamous (used to be famous) cheese dip, and flautas being discounted. Los Corrals was always known , at least in our group of friends and family, for the burrito spreads, chips, cheese dip , and salsa. The chips are unique , VERY corny, and crunchy. The problem with them now is that they are literally never the same. We joke now about whether it will be a good or bad day for eating at los corralles..... I think tradition and nostalgia has kept us coming back. Not as often though. Current owners- when you are handed a turn key operation that is successful , don't change things!

Should have read the yelp reviews before going. Once we found the entrance (there are three doors at the front of the building but only one entrance) the experience not great. The salsa was canned marinara sauce, the chips were greasy, the food was just meh and the margarita was pretty much all tequila. If I wanted a shot of tequila straight, I would have ordered one. The staff seemed nice.

I understand why their voted #1 in margaritas. Being from California I expect top tier mexican food. Food was decent. Never had a burrito with this sauce. However, what in the heck was this salsa about? Straight up marinara sauce. Overall, one & done for me.

Been going to here since I was in my moms belly in 1967. It's was a stable in my family till about 20 years ago. Not sure what happened, this use to be one of the best Mexican resturants in KC and now it medico at best. Fried tacos were always one of my favorites but now they are not good. the pork chill just doesn't taste right. However La Fonda, on southwest and summit has fried tacos just like Los Corrals use to. and their pork chili is awesome

This was really good Mexican food! Big servings, fast and friendly service as well! I had enough for dinner and lunch the next day.

I haven't been here to eat in years, happened to be in the area and decided to stop and grab lunch to go. There was no wait and was told I could order at bar. There Was no posting have the lunch special are the daily special, I had to ask which I did not like. After ordering and waiting for my food and paying I did not get asked or offered water or a drink. Food came after about 10 mins. Food was ok but the taco was very stingy with the meat and u can see in my picture and it was all lukewarm Also music and atmosphere was kind of depressing. Not sure I'll come back. Seems like drink specials are good though.

Friendly wait staff, fresh food, lots of room, and can accommodate larger groups. Nothing fancy and nothing actually bad, it just wasn't anything special either. The tortilla chips are clearly homemade, so they were very fresh. Very thick chips-so that was different. The salsa was disappointing though, as I am someone who appreciates fresh ingredients and a chunkier salsa. This salsa was more like thin tomato sauce. They have a variety Of beers and margaritas. FYI-The frozen margaritas are all served out of the same machine mix; flavored margaritas are made with a premade fruit purée started at the bottom of the glass, with the frozen margarita mix from the machine poured on top. Again it wasn't bad, just wasn't my thing.

My post from five years ago is out of date. No longer will it darken the doors of this restaurant. I had been a patron for over 50 years . New owners have destroyed any semblance of a place that used to have lines out the door. The only hope is that they go broke and the Corralls family will buy it

My love for Tamales led me to this once great eatery, I always like to try them bare, if I like them, then with Chili or something else. This takes me to me going in around 12:30 one day recently and ordering 4 to go... what? $18.11! Well they better be exceptional I tells myself. I unwrap one at home, heat it up a bit and dive in, since it's bare, I added a bit of Enchilada sauce to it, I was disappointed when I had to cut off a full 2" on each end to find any of the tiny amount of shredded tasteless pork in it. Maybe this is where they choose to cut corners, who knows, but if this is a sample of the kitchen... I wouldn't eat there if they paid me to drive there and comped my wife and I for dinner. The picture is a result of me trying to eat it (I was done at this point. Ripped me off for $18.11

I have been waiting over 2 years for a place so awful, that I had to write a review. I finally found it. I'm not exaggerating when I say it is the worst restaurant I have ever been to. I knew I should have avoided this place when I almost hit my head on the ceiling fan. When I looked up, I didn't know if I was in my office or a restaurant! I wish I brought mozeralla sticks for the salsa (it's indistinguishable from marinara sauce). The chips were what I imagine fried tree bark to taste like. The quesadilla was a giant chip that hadn't been cut yet, and they covered half of it in yellow sauce. The burritos were tiny bits of meat buried in a concoction of redish sauce, grease, and brown mush or as they called it "refried beans". I wish I was kidding when I say they had no hot sauce. They had hot "marinira sauce with a single red pepper flake in it" but no actual hot sauce. They also had no knives. The margaritas weren't half bad. But that's the only good thing. 0.6/5

I've been coming to this restaurant since 1970! I understand it's gone through several ownership changes since that time. I've always loved their chips (thicker) and they came out hot still glistening with oil! So yummy! They were delicious! Glad to see they've remained open even through COVID. Dinner with friends this week and was very disappointed. Chips were thinner, not as tasty as the previous years and the food just didn't have that same appeal. The only consistent was the warmed salsa. A few years ago they changed the chips and I wa told because they'd gotten lots of complaints. Interesting because for almost 50 years they were the same. Sad to see the changes for a restaurant that I considered to be a long-time favorite. I probably won't be back anytime soon!

My favorite item on the menu is the carne asada burrito! The staff and food is incredible! I'll take a pic next time because I'm going tomorrow!

My family and a few friends decided to go to los corals Friday July 3 night for dinner. There was plenty of space so we decided to dine in. At least 4 staff servers were not wearing masks. We approached a staff member who seemed to be a manager. He told us that there are many exceptions to the rule. We asked do all non masked staff have health exceptions and the manager said do I have to give me my health history. Anyhow, I remember going here over 30 years ago but despite the so so quality, I want to support long time businesses. But rea

Full disclosure: I'm not the biggest fan of Mexican food - some of the spices don't agree with me. I did not want to go to this restaurant, but it was the last night of a week long conference in KC and my crew wanted to go there.. so despite a 3 am wake-up call to get to the airport, and my concern about not getting any shut eye at all due to acid reflux, I went. The menu itself has good options, even for me with my spice concerns. I ordered two corn tostadas with cheese dip along with a side of rice- I selected the yellow cheese dip as the waitress explained it was not spicy. In my mind, I was picturing a tostada with some sort of masa covered by cheese. I was wrong about the masa, it was literally a corn tostada with cheese sauce on it. I enjoyed it, but it really was like velvets mixed with another cheese (maybe a cheddar?) I enjoyed it, and it was reasonably priced, but it wasn't what I expected. With all that said, I didn't get acid reflux, was able to get (some sleep), and made it to the airport at that God awful hour. I probably won't be back in KC for another year or two. While it still would not be my choice, I would still go as I know there is something that I can eat without a problem. FYI our server was great!

The bean burrito spread is amazing. their chips and salsa is one of the best. The tacos are deep fried and by far the best in the city.

My husband and I stopped here because we were hungry, tired and it was close to our Airbnb. We should have put our hunger and tiredness aside to read the reviews because 'woof, buzz your girlfriend' is this place terrible. One positive- our server Emma was very sweet and attentive (probably because the place was d.e.a.d.). She brought chips and salsa promptly. The chips were nice and hot and crispy... and then I went to dip them in the "salsa". The salsa was hot. No, not spicy hot. Stove hot like your Grandma Rossi was slaving over her red gravy meant for her homemade linguini all day- the stuff was like they opened a can of ragu, added some water and put it in the microwave. We ordered Queso and had the option of white with spinach (que???) or yellow so we went with yellow. Out it came in all its glory- melted generic velveeta. Then came the entrees. I ordered the enchilada dinner. The chorizo tasted like red pepper flakes were added to ground beef, chicken was bland, the cheese was edible. My husband ordered a combination plate which included a quesadilla. You all know what a quesadilla looks like right? Is it a hard corn tortilla shell covered with the aforementioned generic velveeta? It sure as hell shouldn't be but that's what it is at this place. His taco was like biting through leather and neither of us were brave enough to try his chalupa which instead of being made of pillowy soft carbohydrates was clearly another hard corn tortilla. The rice that accompanied both of our meals was the blandest thing I've ever tasted. Like, I don't know if they infuse the rice directly with the cardboard it tasted like or if it's sprinkled on top. The beans could be substituted for wallpaper paste or maybe some kids craft paste in a punch (at least there would be no risk of the kid eating this glue that way). Finally, the $25 pitcher of margaritas. We ate virtually none of our meals and made a concerted effort to drink the watered down margaritas out of principal. Do you think we walked out with the sliiiightest feeling of drinking any alcoholic beverage? No, because that would have required alcohol to be in the margaritas. Our lovely server didn't even ask if we wanted any boxes before clearing our nearly untouched plates. Clearly staff is aware of this places failings so it goes unsaid that ownership is aware and ignoring its issues. In summation, avoid this place like the plague. Hit up the jimmy johns around the corner for a lovely couples dinner costing you under $20 (like we did after leaving this place) rather than spending $80+ for food my dog wouldn't even touch. Los corrales has Los it's damn mind.

Got food poisoning with the chicken fajitas. It has gone down hill over the last few years.

My family has been dining there since before I was born, I was born in 1979, almost 40yrs old. I grew up going to this place, its apart of my family memories...its extremely sad and disappointing and that the new owners were naive or just dumb enough to change the major things on the menu that made Los Corrals such a popular and addictive authentic Mexican restaurant. Mainly the cheese dip, i remember being little and my mom telling me that her and my aunt tried to mimic their cheese dip at home and could never get it right, LOL. but its now ruined...i can buy velveeta and melt it at home....salsa is different..i wonder what their excuse and expectations were with changing the menu....old rule of thumb, dont fix something that isn't broken. So sad, feels as if a member of my family passed away, and I'll never get them back. RIP LOS CORRALS CHEESE DIP......YOUR MISSED BY MANY

Los Corrals is conveniently located downtown. While the restaurant and food aren't necessarily anything special, I enjoyed my meal. The best and worst part of the meal was the chips and salsa. The chips were warm and delicious, and the salsa tasted a bit like ketchup. I'd recommend a side order of the queso to pair with the awesome chips. Nothing fancy, nothing special but overall Los Corrals is a solid option for a Mexican meal downtown.

Came in for Mother's Day and the front desk gal said the wait was over an hour and we should go somewhere else!! I said, "Did you tell us to go somewhere else..... REALLY??" She said YES One of my childhood / family favorites gone...... Thank you to her and the dude behind the bar!

If I could give this place negative stars I would. Without a doubt the worst place I have ever eaten and that includes the time I baked a homemade taco pizza when I was 10 and put lettuce on it before putting it in the oven. The two options for queso are white with spinach or "traditional" yellow. Traditional means velveeta. They have no concept of what a quesadilla is. See attached photo. No I'm not kidding, they think a fried tortilla smothered in velveeta constitutes a quesadilla. Seriously, everything was bad other than the service from our poor waitress who had a look of pity on her face as she set our "food" down in front of us. Do you like to dip your chips in warmed watered down marinara sauce? Well then this is the place for you, because that's what their salsa resembles. My wife and I split a pitcher of margaritas and left far more hydrated than we entered because it was so watered down. Somehow my wife got a brain freeze in her chest from the slushy margarita water mix(true story). I'm not the type to complain when eating out, I just never do, but when our waitress asked how the food was the only thing I could think to respond with was "you're a very good waitress." I was asked if I would like to add meat to my chalupa. I wasn't expecting that since I've never had a vegetarian one. If this review seems exaggerated at all let me assure you it is not. I have had colonoscopies I enjoyed more than my experience at this restaurant. If you are like me and you look at the reviews after already being seated and ordering your food then I sincerely feel for you. I've been there. The best advice I can give you is there is a Jimmy johns around the corner and that may have to suffice.
