Ehhh, won't go back... I ordered a fajita mix plater... the steak was tough and rubbery... the plate was 80% veggies. Just not a good visit for me. I won't be back.

Thought we would spread the wealth and check out this establishment. They didn’t have what we wanted on the menu, Chips and Salsa came 10 minutes before our meal. Beans and Rice came with all the Mexican meals. They used a smaller plate for the Chimichanga, only rice. My Husband stated that beans were supposed to come with the meal. The waitress agreed and brought a small bowl to the table. Upon getting our ticket we realized we were charged separately for those beans. We each ordered Flour Tortillas and were given only 1 order and the tortillas were corn. In addition to the meal issues, we felt as if we were being rushed. Definitely would not recommend.

As a very picky eater, when I order breakfast, it seldom comes correct the first time. Perfect service and exactly as ordered. We will be back!!

Went for breakfast this morning July 4 2025. Walked in there the place was empty maybe 6 people we were seated it took 10 minutes before we ordered water and coffee. When the drinks came we were ready to order. The waitress who I could barely understand said something to the effect of be right back. 10 minutes went by she never came back. We got up and walked out. Decided to take our business elsewhere.

I come to eat here every Tuesday morning with my co worker , we always have Michelle as our waitress and she is wonderful. The food is fantastic! Breakfast is 10/10 and sometimes I get lunch and their fajitas or fajitas quesadilla is so freaking good!

Better than Mexican food should be in rural Wisconsin. Food was hot and what we ordered. They even have lenguas on the menu. Nothing particularly memorable but good enough.

This was our first time here. I had the huevos rancheros. My husband had a chimichanga. And we thought both were very good. My meal was huge and I took over 1/2 home. So the price was great at $10.99
Chips and salsa were good. The salsa is very mild, it kind of just tastes like crushed roasted tomatoes, but there were other sauces that came with it if you wanted to doctor it up. I would definitely give the place another try and try some other menu items.

We thought maybe this place would save us a trip to Wautoma but this place ain’t nothing compared to El Popo besides the menu. Food sucked, waitress sucked and smelt like alcohol our entire order was screwed up besides my sons side of French fries. I would just travel to Wautoma where food tastes better, service is 10x better and where you get pico instead of that salsa or whatever it was that they gave us with the chips.

Went in for dinner and ordered the mixed fajitas. I was not impressed, the taste of the food was somewhat bland, could have used more seasoning especially on the steak, it did come out hot which was nice but the portion was small, the veggies were cut to thin, after grilling they were mush, the price was to expensive for what you get and most disappointing was the fact they don't come with any kind of garnish what so ever. There wasn't any condiments such as guacamole or sour cream, pico or cheese. I have never been to a restaurant that offers fajitas but doesnt serve it with some sort of garnishment. They charged for a side of cheese that you had to ask for along with sour cream. In all, I don't feel I got my money's worth. Way to expensive for what you get.

I don’t think we will be back. The atmosphere is lacking a Mexican-restaurant vibe and the menu has way too many options, which gives the impression that they don’t specialize in anything (you can order spaghetti from the kids menu; at a Mexican restaurant - why is that an option?!). Their rice on the side was probably the worst I’ve had at a Mexican restaurant. Overall, this was a huge disappointment.

Sorry, but I think this is another restaurant that’s gonna go down. They have one in Watoma, which is a lot cheaper? than this one unless their prices went way up. I paid extra rice and beans, cheese and onion enchilada. For $17 that was lunch and then I couldn’t even get chips and salsa because that was only at dinner time and sorry, but I can make better Mexican food, The enchiladas look like they have canned salsa on it The taco meat was not good hamburger very bland, rice and beans not that great either… Sorry… I would not tell you to try it because everybody’s taste is different. Maybe the breakfast is good?

Been there quite a few times. Breakfast is always good and the Bloody Mary was spot on. Fried chicken was great and I like their Mexican style tacos. All that being said the last three time we have had Sarkas and he screws up the order every time, forgets things, doesn't come back to check on drinks, gets the order wrong. We have heard him say I'm sorry so much we just stopped going.

Too many menu options. When you watch those kitchen rescue shows on TV and then see their menu, it's a little worrisome. Had to ask for the appetizer that came with one of the meals. Got their fajitas and it was ok but somewhat bland. Steak was a little tough. The deep fried apps were delicious. Service ok.

Should stick with 1 thing for the menu. The “Mexican” food was horrible. Tasted like canned meat. And the cheese sauce “if that’s what they call it” not good. Definitely will NOT return

Stopped in for a quick meal. I ordered a French dip that was not very good at all. The beef was really tough and had no flavor and the sandwich had no provolone cheese that I thought was standard on a French Dip. The Au Jus had no seasoning or flavor also, and it was lukewarm at best. More than likely will not go back. In its favor the place was clean and friendly!
