The food is good. Service is quick and is a good office lunch place. Have visited twice and both the times the place was almost packed. They serve free salsa and chips and you can ask for caso is you want! Food quality is good and also the taste is amazing. Very low vegetarian options if you are a vegetarian but they are good! Would recommend for a quick lunch.

Quick service and exceptional price per serving. I ordered the Lopez and received my first of three plates within 5 minutes. The food was good and plentiful and I was able to take some to go. Total cost was about ~14USD after taxes.

This place does not disappoint. Quick to serve food. First visit was over 26 years ago when they were at a smaller spot next door strip mall. Now they have their own building and heard of another location they opened up. The owner was checking with all the guests and making sure they were doing ok.

So good! Granted they were busy, but it's been busier...we didn't have the best waiter. We had to ask for water and then for drink refills. Nevertheless, service is usually as excellent as the food. Be prepared for a :15 to :30 minute wait to be seated.

Always an enjoyable experience, the staff is very nice, the service is excellent and the food seems more home cooked than most Tex-Mex food. Fair prices make Lopez a great neighborhood establishment even though it's right by to freeway. They are consistent and we keep going back.

The restaurant is beautiful and spacious with all things in place. As a rule of thumb if things don't stand out, such as greasy salt and pepper shakers, sloopy table settings and others. These are one indicator of the telltale signs of quality. The food is great and reasonably priced. Great warm service with adult and children menus, handicapped parking and handicapped accessibility. Go there and enjoy the experience.

I've been going here since I was 5 years old and they were a little hole in the wall. Lopez is a family staple. Fantastic Tex-Mex. Great Quality. The staff treat you like family! The Salsa is spicy hot. Chips are fresh. Queso is hands down amazing. AND THE FAJITAS. Oh. My. Goodness. Get the combination because the steak is so perfectly marinated and cooked, as well as the chicken. They make the tortillas in house. Everything is always so fresh and consistent, you can't go wrong. However, I think they switched Tequilas on their margaritas. I just went for my birthday a few weeks ago, and I didn't *LOVE* them like I used to. Viva La Lopez!

My wife and I arrived and were seated quickly. The waiter was quick to take our order, brought our drinks, and within 8-10 minutes our food was on the table. The food, the service, and the atmosphere were all excellent. It was a Saturday night around 8 pm and one by one the customers kept coming in. Not one person spent any time waiting for a table. The staff was on it. Did I mention that the food was excellent,? lol. I would definitely go back and I recommend this place to anyone looking for good Mexican food at a reasonable price. If there was one negative, it was probably the noise level. But hey, what do you expect when you have well over a hundred happy people having a great time? Too bad I can't rate this place 6 stars, cause I definitely would!
