Such a great view! We sat on the patio on a summer evening and watching the sunset while we enjoyed dinner and margaritas was the best experience ❤️ I liked the food but it didn’t seem very authentic. But it was still good. Margaritas are my fav by far!

Parking: Lots of parking spots. Parking is only a few feet from the restaurant door.

Kid-friendliness: Kids love watching the ducks in the water out on the patio.

Our favorite eating establishment on Fox Lake. Solid tasty Mexican food and pleasant relaxing waterfront views. Buy a pitcher of margaritas and relax. Pull-up boat slips available in summer, so a popular place with boaters.

First time here and loved it. Service and food were great, margaritas not so much.

Parking: There is some parking next to the restaurant and a larger lot about half a block away.
