“ I have been here plenty of times. Usually it’s either this place or friacos in Shorewood. Both are amazing. Can’t choose who’s best. Lol I usually get the fajita dinner and it’s always amazing. Sizzling and hot. Salsa is delicious and margaritas are the bestest ever! Burritos and nortena dinner is delicious as well. Harchata is very tasty. Staff are always attentive and constantly ask if we need anything else. ”

We all enjoyed the margaritas. My burrito was nice and light and flavorful. We really liked the enchiladas and tacos as well.

“ Was disappointed with my fish tacos and the fried ice cream was not I was expecting ”
“ Just go. I had the spicy steak chimichanga and the meat was so tender. It has to be the best one I’ve ever had. The sauce was spicy, but not overpowering. It was all so fresh and delicious. Just visit this restaurant! Really friendly servers who all help each other out. We were there close to closing and everyone was cleaning. I know that the kitchen /bathrooms are immaculate. Love to see it! All around great experience. We don’t live too close but when we are out that way it’ll be a must- stop. Whatever the steak is I hope they never change the quality. Chef’s kiss!! ”
