  Consistently good food and margaritas. Their spicy pork burrito is my go-to because it's soooo good and unique to Lil Burro. Other favorites would be the chile rellenos, tamales and fajitas. If the salsa is too tame for you, ask for the spicy salsa, it's homemade and only by request.
  
  I hope this place stays open for a long time.

  Not a good experience.  Service was fine but we didn't enjoy the food.  The salsa and chips they brought us was just odd.  As you can see from the picture the salsa was like they opened a can of stewed whole tomatoes and poured them in the bowl.  You can see the stems on the tomatoes!  Yuck.  We ordered the chipotle cheese dip for an appetizer with flour chips.  The dip itself tasted off, and the chips were completely chewy as if they were made days ago.
  For my entrée I ordered an ala carte cheese and onion enchilada and a fried shredded beef taco.  The enchilada was just okay and the beef taco was so plain and it appeared it was filled with chunks of tasteless pot roast.  Bummer as they have an outdoor eating  area that looks nice even though it was closed that night as it was chilly out.   The margarita however was good so maybe stopping for one of those on the patio is an option but likely not.  We honestly both felt sick to our stomachs the rest of the night which never happens.

  First thing I saw before I walked in was a sign on the door that said all card transactions will incur a 3.5% fee. As I've said in other reviews. This is 2019. If it's the bank you are using for transactions that is charging you then you need to switch. Businesses have a bevy of options when it comes to POS systems and supporting banks.
  
  Second thing I saw was what appeared to be one of the employees kids just hanging out on top of a table. Not in the booth. ON TOP OF A TABLE. I get it, some times you are forced to bring your kid to work. But maybe keep some semblance of control and sanitation.
  
  We sit down, the chips we get are hard as a rock. My wife complains and we get more "heated" chips. They took the same ones and popped them into the microwave to hopefully soften them? I'm not sure just a guess... it didn't work.
  
  You may be asking "then why 3 stars". Here is the thing. Once you get past the kid literally dancing in the middle of a restaurant and obviously disturbing tables the food wasn't half bad. I got the tacos and my wife got chimichangas. Taco meat could have been seasoned a little more or at all. But it was good. We got chipotle cheese dip on the side which was good too.
  
  Overall we probably won't be back. But it has more to do with us being ambiance snobs and less about the food.  3 stars. Could be more with some easy changes.

  One of our new favorite places in Bellevue area.   Have been here many times.  I think they have one of the best traditional margaritas in the area.
  
  I've tried a lot of dishes, but I think my favorite is the Shrimp Asada.  I have never had/seen this dish anywhere else and it is a definite must try if you are a shrimp/seafood person. My husband has had the seafood enchilada and says it is really good as well.
  
  The staff is always friendly, but service can be slow (on occasion and dependent on how busy).  The owner often comes around to check on the guests and to see how everything tastes.

  This place is convenient for Bellevue residents ... parking lot often gets packed. The interior has antiques and old signs ... a few specials ... most things are ok but not spectacular... sip a margarita or two, enjoy some green chili stew, have a chili releno... play roulette with the jalapeño poppers.
