Absolutely love this place. Amazing, friendly staff and terrific food made from scratch. If you want amazing made from scratch this is it. No need to be in a hurry as the drinks and wait staff/bartender are so friendly with great recommendations of food and...drink not to mention the delicious chips and salsa!More

Although we waited over 30 minutes for our order to arrive (the place was packed), it was well worth it! Our server was very apologetic for the delay, but we assured her it was fine. I wasn't hungry (finished half of a Cuban sandwich from...Fox Harbor Grill in Green Bay left over from last nite when we arrived at our hotel 30 minutes prior). Therefore, we sat and patiently waited. My wife worked on the Wordle puzzle and I practiced my Irish lessons. The food was delicious, the atmosphere charming, and the staff very friendly. Well done. We will be back!More

Very tasty food but way, way over priced 3 cheese and onion enchiladas with rice and beans for $15 the same price as the chicken and beef! Too expensive for me now. I used to love them but they are now out of my price...range. They need a lunch menu with lower prices. It is too bad.More

My girlfriend and I went last Tuesday and ate on the patio. We were served quickly. The food was fantastic. But since we were the only ones on the patio, we had to go inside to find someone to bring our bill, since no one...came to check on us once we got our food. the 1st 2 people we encountered when we went looking for our waitress didn't speak English but did find someone to help us. If you eat on the patio, be aware that you will be forgotten once your food has been delivered.More

Wow wow wow what an amazing experience. We ordered the chicken enchiladas verde which came with the best refried beans I’ve ever had with rice, shredded lettuce, cheese, sour cream and homemade guacamole and it was outstanding! Homemade tortilla chips and homemade salsa. We left...very full and satisfied and plan on coming back the next time we’re in town!! YUM!More

Hadn't been there in a while. Went early on a Friday before the crowd hit. To my surprise, I think it may have been the best ranchers sauce I'd ever had. I have been to Mexico many many times and this rivaled anything I've ever...had there. It was a Carne asada smothered in ranchero sauce and was top 3 of best things I've ever eaten.I will say it was fairly pricey. 5.25 for a corona ?. Two meals, 3 beers =$, 80.00 with tip.More

The 2 of us were seated at a huge long, rectangular table that wobbled. Not sure why when there were other smaller square tables open. It wouldn’t have mattered if it wasn’t hard to hear each other. Server was friendly and helpful with questions. I...had the pastor WI burrito and the pastor had some really burnt ends- enough so that I damaged a tooth. My hubby had the short rib tacos and thought they were okay. With the amount of Mexican restaurants available, we probably won’t be back.More

Business Trips has me looking for Healthy choices like Chicken Fajata's. I didn't care for the flavor of the Fajita's tonight. There was a lot of grease in the to go box and at least a whole onion was used for the veggies. They charge....99cents if you want to order Carry out. Being on a work Trip you have to budget, so I thought $21.00 for Chicken Fajita's was over priced. They should try to come up with a Single option dinner. There was a decent amount of food, but I'm sorry I'm wasn't crazy about the flavor. I had asked for a small amount of chips and they actually gave me 2 bags of Chips. The Staff was very nice and there is a nice little bar inside the restaurant as well. Sorry Tello's I wished I had a better review for you, but wasn't crazy about the Fajita's.More

May 2021. No one working here wears a mask... not in the kitchen and not amongst the waitstaff. The menu had dried food all over it which made me concerned about cleanliness. We sat down for 15 minutes before someone came to take our drink...order and then refused to take our food order even though we were ready to Order. No one in the dining room had their food and I watched as a couple had to return their water glasses for some reason (bad water? Dirty glasses?) Anyway, after waiting a long time, the rude service and no one wearing masks, we decided to leave. We will not be back and do not recommend.More

Breakfast lunch or dinner, you can never go wrong. Their wings are by far the best around. The ceviche is definitely to rave about. My wife loves their fish tacos and I have not found one thing we have had their that has ever disappointed....The premium Margaritas are by far the best as well, not too sweet just enough tequila!!!! Love the staff. Angel runs a great restaurant and cares about his customers.More

Another amazing family dinner tonight at our favorite go-to place!!! Tonight we finally tried the reuben keg rolls!!! AMAZING!! These things are a meal in itself and I'll definitely be ordering again! Our favorite meals are the Wisconsin burritos, and the homemade chips and salasa...are the best I've ever had! The The restuarant was packed and everyone looked to be enjoying their meals and having a great time! Love it when a great, hard-working family-owned restaurant that gives so much back to the community is having anamazing night of business!! Impeccable drinks, food and service at a fair price.

First, despite previous reviews I have read, I was surprised to see the entire staff wearing masks. So if this is a concern of yours, please know that all employees were fully masked, they had hand sanitizer at the door, and all tables were clean...and properly distanced. Onto the food. I had the tacos, my cousin had a breakfast, my sister had a salad, and a friend had the mushroom swiss burger. We all enjoyed our meals. The tacos were some of the best I have ever had. I like the hard shells and they were perfect. They never broke and were super good along with all of the fresh ingredients. We were also served complimentary chips and salsa which were good. With an already great dining experience, we were all surprised when the staff came over to my cousin, who I had announced had a birthday we were celebrating, and brought her a birthday crown and a really nice piece of chocolate cake. On top of that they all sang happy birthday very well, I might add. It was just the icing on the cake, pun intended, to this awesome dining experience. Don't listen to the negative Nelly reviews. This place rocks.More

Not sure if they can accommodate such a large group in one room. You need to call them and talk to them. There is a wide variety of food items. Not sure what your group likes. Check out their menu.
