El Cartel em Loulé

01/11/2024: Cannot stress enough how fantastic our meal was here. The best Mexican food we have both had! The staff were lovely and attentive, the food was excellent, and the restaurant itself was lovely. It's a little set back from the Marina etc, but please don't let that put you off, as it is well worth it.

14/10/2024: The restaurant was not busy at all when we went in to see if we could find a table. We had a very warm welcome from the man behind the bar. As we sat with our bottle of wine suddenly it became very busy. A table of 8 golfers other locals tables of 4 - 6 and a few couples. We had sizzling beef and chicken house special fajitas and the Frida Kalho prawn special. Both were excellent . The surroundings were shabby sheek in blues and orange and metal chairs not very comfy. Inside had hide covered chairs I think would have been more comfy but it was a warm night and we chose to eat outside as many tables did.
