El Trio Loco 2 114 Laneda Avenue, Manzanita, OR 97130

"Lovely place. Delicious food. Small, but nicely decorated. As Mexican food goes, quite decent! Would go again for sure. The Margarita sampler was good. But, as they go, kinda sweet and just enough tequila. Perfect night out!"

"Well, I would love to give this place five stars, but it just was not a five-star experience. I give it four stars because the location was nice (very close to the beach). There was a wait, which usually means the place is REALLY good. So I was willing to wait for 30 minutes. I ordered the fajitas. They brought three tortillas. I asked if I could get more than three, and they said no. You can ask for more, but you will be charged. Huh? I've never had that happen when ordering fajitas. Typically, if I use all the tortillas, I ask for more and there's no additional charge. Am I off-base here? Anyway, for $22, I should be able to get an extra tortilla or two. Unfortunately, the meat wasn't seasoned much and it was chewy. I've definitely had better fajitas. But the presentation was nice. The plate was sizzling like crazy and smoke was going everywhere. This was the smokiest fajita plate I have ever seen in my entire life. The entire restaurant looked like a scene from Backdraft. I think had the meat been premium, and I could have gotten an extra tortilla or two, I would've given this place five stars. Anyway, it's small and cozy, and the food seemed pretty authentic. I liked the atmosphere. And the people were nice. And there's just something memorable about the Oregon Coast. The food wasn't perfect, but it was a special evening nonetheless. ;)"

"Great place to enjoy dinner with the family. Service was spot on and friendly from the start. The food was on point and the choices were abundant. I highly recommend checking this place out."
