The food at Lopez seems to get progressively less interesting and less inspiring as the years go on. It seems like their average chef works there for only two years or so and with each new chef; their food gets more and more mediocre. Lopez put Mexican fusion on the map for Cleveland's East Side and now all it represents is a place that you can get a nice margarita or two and have to wait a long time to get it. Their staff can be a bit dim. We once got served our entrees 25 seconds after our appetizers arrived. I refused to have them pile up our table with everything. Naturally, 13 minutes later they served us the same entrees that I initially refused. I hate food heated by lamps and yes, it made their mediocre food taste even worse. Lobster enchiladas (which also used to be much better) turned to mush!
