Stopped for dinner while out of town for a convention. Our waitress Chelsea was super friendly and helpful. We stopped on a Tuesday so they had a taco Tuesday special. They had fresh Pico on the table and different sauces. If you try the orange one it is got a kick to it.

Wow. I just was driving by and decided to stop in. I'm in the area for a few months. What a find. They were packed but I sat at the bar. Absolutely fresh and tasty food and a fantastic staff. How anyone could give a bad review I don't understand. I get thousands of views. This place ROCKS!!

DeAngelo and Smokey Robinson both sang "Baby Let's Cruise" and that's what we did on this road to Lake Geneva, Wisconsin ... These taco's and drinks hit every note... The service and ambiance were perfect in this little corner joint. I doubt there is a better taco in the immediate area. The tacos get a definitive 5 ?????out of 5. The drinks measured right up as well. They get a definitive 5 ?????out of 5. If you ever make your way to the this area RUN TO THIS PLACE!!!

Over charged me paid over $100 for 2 margarita flights and 2 margaritas. Flights are terrible and margaritas were okay. Could have went to a Dive bar for $20

I got sick after eating at this restaurant and missed out on a day and a half of work.I travel enough to know the symptoms of food related illness could not be more clear, and the timing further validated this. After spending two healthy months in Mexico I came back home and a few days later grabbed a meal at this restaurant with my mom. I’m no stranger to Mexican food and I got three plain tacos. The meat was terribly dry, hard and overcooked. I didn’t get the toppings I asked for on my tacos, but my mom did and gave some of hers to me. My mom and I got different meats, taco shells and toppings and she did not get sick. However, her meat was also extraordinarily dry and did not taste good overall.I almost never leave reviews. I’m leaving this review to put some pressure on this restaurant and any other like it to improve their sanitary standards so as to avoid illness for other visitors. I love to frequent restaurants like this, so long as I can trust basic best practices are consistently implemented so that I do not get sick. Unfortunately, I do not believe that is the case for this restaurant.

First time being in that place, the truth is that the food was very bad. As a Mexican, I know when something is not good, apart from bad food, tasteless, greasy salt, everything very expensive, me and my husband ate and our receipt was $$60 dollars for everything. very expensive we asked for more chips and they charged us three dollars extra first and last time visiting that place apart from very small uncomfortable to eat no and space

The nachos were amazing! The steak tacos were dry. The gordita was dry. Beans and rice were good. Now on the other hand my husband tried everything along w a torta and he thought everything was amazing so I guess to each their own. I wouldnt visit again.

Tacos to die for. I also really like the tamales. They do a good job of not using too much masa and having a very flavorful filling. Good chips and salsa. Enchiladas also good. Recommend the salsa verde over the salsa rojo but both are good. Also pozole is terrific when you can get it.

I wish I could give an extra star to the service! Always so friendly and nice. As they say at the door, it's not fast food, but it is worth the wait!Edit: have come back again many times and still love it! Now my son does too!
