The service was great! The jumbo shrimp burrito was delicious. The chips, sauce, guacamole, & queso cheese were all very good. I would definitely come back. I’m grateful for Fredrik’s recommendation to eat here.
Excellent! Atmosphere is cozy! Food is excellent and plentiful! Chelsea is an excellent waitress and went out of her way to make our dining experience great!! Highly recommended!
Went on Cinco de Mayo! Had a tasty margarita for sure. They have inside and patio seating. I did street parking. You get chips and homemade salsa. You can put your variety of hot sauce on the chips, yourself. I had the homemade Maza tortilla dinner with chicken, tomato, cilantro, and onion. It comes with a side of rice and refried beans. I also ordered a side of avocado. The food was very hot and delicious. Josephine was an awesome waitress. The only drawback, the menu does not include prices. Which can unnerve someone on a limited budget.
Amaaaazing everything! Definitely gives u a welcome home vibe. Great Margaritas and very helpful server!!!
Great little place. We have gone twice within 2 weeks. The steak tacos are so flavorful. Also tried the Birria tacos. They are really good (a cup of consume would have put it over the top). Different ladies were working both times we went. Everyone is so nice and welcoming. Worth the 30 minute drive for us to go to a consistent, nice place. Can’t wait to go when the weather is warm and enjoy their patio.
Love the food here. Chelsea is an amazing server and we love when we get to see her. Makes great drinks love the homemade tortillas. Couldn’t hype this place enough. Even having them cater my wedding. Can’t wait. One of those hole in the wall places with amazing drinks and food.
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!!!
Oh. My. Gosh. Why has it taken me so long to dine here? My husband works in LG and frequents here. He wanted to take myself and our daughter out for Mother's Day lunch here so we met him. Honestly, I just can't say enough good things, but I am going to try! We were greeted by one of the friendliest people I have run into hosting, luckily, there was one table left on the patia (which is fantastic by the way). Waitress was very prompt with our drink and app order. Let me get into the nitty gritty. Hibiscus Margarita, AMAZING! And I mean it. I like to consider myself a margarita connoisseur and this was in my top 5 of all of the places I have been in the country. No joke. My husband had a margarita with a full size beer in it, which was also amazing in it's own right. My eyes are always bigger than my stomach, but my husband indulged us. Queso and Guac to start, phenomenal (but took most of it home). My daughter and I ordered Chicken and Steak quesadillas which I hate to say is my go to at new establishments. (I will NOT make that mistake again, here). They were great, but the menu is full of traditional offerings that I cannot wait to try. Part of their specials for Mother's Day was Elote in a cup and it was very flavorful. I'm not sure if it is on the menu all of the time, but a girl can hope. Here is the star of the show: The Quesabirrias Con Consome. Order it. Love it. Come back and order it again. So fresh. So delicious. I ended up eating one of my husbands and wished that I had ordered my own. This place is out of the hustle and bustle of downtown Lake Geneva and the parking is FREE. Which if you are from around here, you love to see this as a local. Please go and support this establishment. You will not be disappointed.
