I cannot say enough great things about this place. Its become one of my favorites. I love to start off my meal with buzo nachos. They are simply the best nachos I have ever had! I could fill up on one of those but choose to share. My favorite meal is the calamari steak made with a flavorful lemon caper sauce. I also suggest the blackened tuna salad. This little place in historic downtown Chippewa Falls, WI is definitely a hidden gem. This last time I had a swordfish burrito I had them make into a chimichanga and mom had the lobster linguine. This place never disappoints us.

The calamari steak is absolutely incredible. I had it 6 years ago and I had it again recently and the only change was the chef cut it into nice strips prior to serving, and so it was just as succulent and fresh as last time! Whenever I visit Chippewa Falls, and there's a special occasion, we like to visit Max's. Amazing seafood with a Mexican flavor profile.

Had to retry it........ Tried something different.

Cute place, good margaritas, but OMG the food was way too spicy 🥵🥵.
I had to 8 ounce filet mignon with steamed vegetables and one Margarita and the bill was $42.20......The filet was just way too spicy couldn't eat it and no flavor at all to the vegetables.
I can say the Margaritas are good!!

I walked in on Saturday afternoon (2 p.m.) and was immediately seated. In addition to water, I had a hard cider that was served in the bottle along with a chilled glass. I ordered the Black and Bleu burger and substituted the rice and beans for the fries.

The burger was cooked to medium-well, as requested, with a generous amount of blue cheese on top, and lettuce and tomato on the side. The beans, served in a small bowl on the platter next to Mexican rice, were properly cooked (not crunchy and not mushy).

The bill was just shy of $20, which I think is reasonable for lunch and a tipple.

Try at your own risk! If you hate when your pallet is exploded with the most tasteful, delicate food, I’d advise you to go somewhere else. You will come back to Maxes time and time again. It’s the perfect lunch in, the perfect date night. Not once disappointed.

For context: we ordered a Filet Mignon w/ Mushroom and Red Wine Sauce and a Surf & Turf with Scallops.

First off, the sides caught us off guard, as they only offered beans and rice and steamed vegetables. Something that accompanied the main dish better would have been appreciated and we ended up ordering an additional side of French fries which we must say, were extremely good but also overpriced at $4 for a handful.

The drinks we ordered (Mojito and G&T) were delicious, although they forgot the Coconut in the mojito. The service was very good and while they were running behind, we were kept up to speed on the status of our drinks and meals.

Finally, the main courses lean heavily on spices and seasonings, almost too much. The meat of the NY Strip, Scallops and Filet were incredibly plain and were carried heavily by the sauces and seasonings. The initial flavor is incredible until you chew it (and chew it you do) for a while and realize there’s nothing under the veil of sauce and spices on top.

Maybe other options are better, we were just not completely satisfied with our choices, especially at the triple digit price tag.

The service and cocktails were absolutely incredible. The food was so disappointing. The filet wasn't seasoned and was overdone. the Sea bass also wasn't seasoned and was rubbery. I would have sent my fish back too if we didn't already send the steak back since it was over done. Rice and beans as a side given the price point was surprising. The desserts were the only reason for the 2 star rating for food - they were amazing. A friend of mine had the enchiladas and they were incredible, maybe we just ordered the wrong items.

Started with the crab cake. I wish I had taken a picture as it looked amazing and tasted even better! My husband and I shared one and it was a perfect appetizer for us to share as it was quite large.
The meal itself was wonderful. The staff helped me find a dairy-free option (allergy) which was lovely. We had missed lunch so an early supper was just the ticket and we left full up!!
After settling up and leaving, the waitress noticed I’d left my credit card, and knowing we were from out of town, ran us down so we didn’t ruin the day. Above and beyond!
A must if you are anywhere near the area!!

We stopped for lunch on a Saturday without understanding that this is a Mexican Seafood restaurant. A pleasant surprise! There is a small bar in front by the entry which would be great for a quick happy hour drink. There are A lot of seafood options which is hard to find. My husband had the mussels and loved them, large mussels and a big serving. We shared the calamari and it was tasty with a medium weight batter and flavorful dipping sauce. I had the pulled chicken tacos which were seasoned with Mexican spices. The beans were flavorful but the rice was pretty plain. One thing to note, for Mexican food, the spice level is low, like Midwest Nice, not very spicy. We definitely plan to come back for dinner to try the sea bass.

Food was very good. I was a little disappointed at the lack of accommodations to gluten allergies. Though the gluten free menu is nice, no one with a gluten allergy will ever be able to experience any of your sauces, which really are the backbone of so many of your menu offerings. Tapioca starch, corn starch, gluten free soy sauce: it’s not that difficult to accommodate, and to make no effort at all to accommodate to gluten allergies in any of your sauces is pretty disappointing.

We were excited to find out they had a gluten-free menu. Especially when others had recommended it. However, upon asking questions about gf menu items and how food was prepared, we became extremely disappointed to discover that nothing is actually gf. Sauces are not gf anymore. You can order appetizers, but they aren’t served with gf items. After ordering, our waitress returned 5 times to inform us that this or that was no longer gf. The manager then came over where we further discovered they don’t change gloves or clean the area before preparing your gf food. They also use the same deep fryer for all the other foods. We ended up walking out. They need to update their menu and educate themselves and their staff.
I gave three stars because we appreciated their honesty and they were kind and not rude in anyway. They could have been dishonest to us and we would have discovered this after eating and becoming violently ill.

I would have rated this place 5 stars for the food except for that it was like the fires of hell in this place. I was soooo hot I had to step out into 80+ degree weather to cool off.

A mixed review from our party of 5. Lunch time service was good. Those that ordered a "vegetarian" option had their Mexican entree filled with broccoli/cauliflower/carrots, (basically a steamer bag of veggies) which was strange with the spices. Beans, peppers and onions would have been a much better choice. The meat eaters all enjoyed their food.
