5 Starts isn't enough.
It should be 20 stars.
1000% perfection.
We moved from DFW Texas 1 week ago, I felt like I was in Texas or Mexico.
Thank you, we will be your new regulars.

The food quality and creativity needs to come up. It's leaning into the cliche, unappealing, things on the plate with cheese on it melted in oven, vibe. Somewhat bland on flavor.

The food here was incredible! I ordered the molcajete michoacano and it was unbelievable! I have never had so many flavors in one dish. It is served in molcajete which is a volcanic rock dish and it keeps everything hot as can be. The portion was huge I usually can eat a lot but there was so much I couldn’t finish it. It would definitely be enough for two. I can’t recommend it enough. The waitress was very nice too and stopped back several times to check on me.

A good place for standard Mexican fare.

The food was good, tasted nice, affordable—the atmosphere was good, not too loud—definitely a family dining sort of place.

Overall, no complaints, but nothing really standout either.

Slightly less food than normal for Mexican restaurants, but by no means small portions

Good food from a huge menu. Lightening fast service. Good people who work incredibly hard. This is a very smart choice for a family evening out, and it is a big asset to the little town of Wadena.

I’m a trucker… so I visit Mexican all over the country!! The food was cooked as requested forsure… But BLAND AND NOT A DROP OF SEASONING!!! I don’t know if it’s because locals like it without taste but I never had steak and broccoli and potatoes so well cooked with not a pinch of pepper at least!!! The gentleman was attentive as possible but the drinks were just too juicy!! More juice and ice than alcohol for the PRICE!!! Shots were cheap at happy hour. Overall they were decent, expenses not to good, but with bland food, juicy drinks, and a lot of items(spoes, Posole, and stuffed poblanos) not available… Minnesota isn’t getting the EXPERIENCE!! Good luck for the only Mexican in the area!!!

My friend took me to lunch after church today and I thought I was actually going to have authentic Mexican food. Not the case at all. The music was so loud that we couldn't have a conversation. The food tasted as if we're out of a boxed frozen dinner. My friend had to ask 3 times for hot tea and I had ordered a sweet tea... They messed that up. I will say the staff were very nice. I don't believe they eat the food they serve honestly.
