Recent Reviews
I cannot begin to explain how top tier they are here in Valpo! They are unmatched when it comes to the Hobart and Munster location. Specifically speaking of the bartender George, he makes some of the best drinks. And if you come regularly he will remember your choice of drink and food (along with any extras and specifications after the first time you ask). 10/10 would recommend to anyone and everyone.

As for food you get small portions compared to allot of other Mexican spots in the area. The taste is just on par. The service was good. Nothing spectacular about the place just typical.

We had el salto cater our wedding and I couldn’t express how happy I am with their service. They were easy to get set up with and did great work on our wedding day. Would highly recommend their catering service!
