Excellent food friendly people

Are you looking for an amazing, fresh, authentic Mexican food? Then you found the place. I completely love the shitac. Burrito is highly recommended and not to, and the staff is super friendly and always fast service.

Vegetarian options: No vegetarian menu items, but the staff cheerfully modified a menu item to suit.

When the waitress discovered we got the wrong food, her language was a little colorful. Caught us off guard because we didn't know her. Once we had the right food, it was very good and large portion. The side of sour cream was way overpriced.

First time here and it was great. Other than the fact that our flouta was supposed to have queso and the "pico" was just diced tomato. Service was amazing! Patio is lovely.

Excellent place to spend a pleasant afternoon in the company of your family or friends, enjoying the view of Pokegama Lake, quality food, delicious Margaritas and the tranquility of living with nature. In addition, you can spend hours playing billiards, arcades, darts, beaker or simply enjoy live music. The attention and kindness of the owners is exceptional.

I want to like this place, but they make it difficult. A Mexican restaurant should - at the very least - have a great house margarita. (Yes, they have a frozen house margarita, but lots of people don’t want a frozen drink from a machine.) The bartender on two occasions didn’t know how to make a simple margarita shaken in a mixing tin. The horrible one I was served was $17, and she seemed very annoyed that I wanted something that wasn’t out of the frozen machine. The “salsa” served with a tiny basket of chips for 5 people taste like V8 juice. Guacamole - which was mediocre at best - was $11. Entrees were all just OK…nothing tasted authentically Mexican and they all lacked any real flavor. The singer on a Tuesday night was pretty amateur and about 3 times too loud. We could barely have a conversation at our table near the opposite end of the patio. Ultimately, it’s dramatically overpriced for the quality of food and beverage served. Lots of potential, but needs someone in charge who knows how to run a good bar and Mexican kitchen.

Ordered food to go. Got a call back to make sure order was correct. (It wasnt)
Picked up food & it was still not correct. Food is way over priced for what you get.

Had dinner at the Pokegama Cantina on Wednesday of last week we had the Chetek burrito for $22. 80% of our burritos were sautéed onions. I had one shrimp in the whole burrito and a few small pieces of chicken and pork not worth the money. Our friends had the shrimp tacos. They had two little shrimp in each one of their tacos. for $23 we would not recommend going there
