In Short – Avocado and bright blue walls, tabletops inlaid with Mexican tiles, and a concrete bar covered in crenellated tin siding exude south-of-the-border charm in this hidden find just a stone's throw from Bishop Arts District. The food is standard American; plates of fresh fish, grilled chicken, soups, and salads. The spinach salad, made with smoked bacon, egg and Loretta's secret sauce, is popular. Insomniacs will appreciate Loretta's late hours, it's open until 2am nightly.

OK

The food is OK, some days are better than others from my experience. I was not happy when ash trays were distributed when I was there one night and that was hard to take when a number of people lit up. It was a fun place atmosphere until then.
- Pros: Neighborhood, easy-going establishment, inexpensive
- Cons: Juke box too loud sometimes for dining and talking.

Great neighborhood bar and the best BLT in town.

Loretta's has been a great addition to our neighborhoods in Oak Cliff. The staff is really friendly and they go out of their way to accommodate you. The food is better than your average bar food. In fact, it's really good. The BLT is about the best I have ever had. The burgers and the grilled chicken sandwich are terrific. The spinach salad is great and so are the soups. The fish and steak entrees are inconsistent, but can be quite good and the artichocke appetizer is perfect for a quick snack. It can get loud late at night, but that's when the fun starts. The jukebox is great and they'll change the TV channel to whatever interests you. Also good for take out
- Pros: service, friendly staff, good food
- Cons: parking

Great neighborhood hangout!
by supersoaper at Citysearch
Loretta's is a gem of a neighborhood restaurant! The ambience is wonderfully eclectic with bright and fun artwork and interiors. My husband had the huevos rancheros brunch, and the eggs were scrumptious. We snacked on a generous portion of guacamole and chips, and I hardly had room for my delicious spinach and mushroom quesadillas. The quesadillas were the most buttery, rich bites and much better than the usual goey tasteless stuff that you have to pour hot sauce on to make flavorful. My husband is a beef eater and I prefer veggies, so it was nice to finally see a menu that was well balanced for carnivores and herbivores! Will definitely make it a weekly occurrence!
- Pros: Friendly Staff, Ambience, Menu
- Cons: Small
