About The Loop

Let me introduce you to The Loop, a lively Mexican restaurant sitting right at 965 Manitou Ave, Manitou Springs, CO 80829, United States, where the energy of the neighborhood blends effortlessly with bold flavors and a relaxed, come-as-you-are attitude. From the moment you step near the place, it feels welcoming, the kind of spot that works just as well for a casual lunch as it does for an unplanned evening hangout. The Loop leans into comfort food with confidence, serving Mexican-inspired dishes that are satisfying without trying too hard, and that balance makes it easy to keep coming back. The vibe is upbeat but not overwhelming, so conversations flow easily whether you’re dining in or grabbing something to go. What I really appreciate is how flexible the experience can be, since options like kerbside pickup, takeaway, delivery, and on-site dining make it fit smoothly into whatever kind of day you’re having. Drinks also play a big role here, with a menu that covers everything from beer and cocktails to wine, spirits, and even coffee when you want something lighter. Small plates are ideal for sharing, especially if you’re in the mood to sample a few things instead of committing to one dish, and the alcohol selection pairs naturally with the food without stealing the spotlight. The Loop feels grounded in its location, reflecting the laid-back charm of Manitou Springs while still offering enough variety to keep things interesting. Whether you’re stopping by after exploring the area or planning to meet friends for a relaxed meal, the atmosphere stays friendly and unpretentious, making the restaurant feel familiar even on your first visit, and that sense of ease is part of what gives The Loop its lasting appeal.

The manager, Kat, is by all means an amazing member of your team. I was in last night with my cousins for dinner. Our waiter was great, but Kat handled a small issue regarding the eggs, flawlessly. Her approach, demeanor, professionalism and understanding were on point. In a world where Customer Service is lacking, your staff, namely Kat, is exceptional. Later she handled an unfortunate situation outside with care and compassion, regarding another individual. Her character definitely shines through. I'll be back soon because of Kat. Thank you for a great experience.

Our server was super friendly, all smiles and very accommodating. We had the shrimp sampler and the carne asada. The coconut shrimp was way overcooked, but the tempura was really good. The carne asada was very good, it could have used a squeeze of lime, which didn’t come on the plate. What we truly appreciated was the fact that there was not excessive salt on anything. My biggest concern was not the food, but facilities, which shouldn’t be taken lightly. The men’s bathroom was disgusting.

It took a while for us to get a waitress to serve us. When the waitress arrived she was very apologetic. The atmosphere did not really give me Mexican vibes and I'm Hispanic. The food was good. Could have had a little more flavor, but overall we would come again.

The food was hot and fresh. I am a Chimichamga connoisseur and this was the best one I've ever had. It was fried perfectly. I went with the traditional ground beef. The salsa and guacamole are made fresh here ans you can taste the difference. The service was excellent. Highly recommend!

Had their vegetarian burrito and it was quite good! Their salsa dip was hot and the chips were unsalted. Would definitely recommend the place for the burrito.
