Pulled up to grab tacos we preordered before driving to Florida .then got harassed in the parking lot because of our trailers by a worker. We were there for less then 5 minutes and vigilante to anyone entering or leaving to not obstruct.we preordered to make our pick up a breeze and easy to get out. Still wasn’t good enough. Tbh don’t know if food was good , lost my appetite 🤣 and pulled up elsewhere . Btw no one at the time was leaving or entering except one gentlemen that was leaving and had no issues.
Don’t pull up with either a truck nor a trailer .

I got the 3 taco dinner platter and a side of guacamole. The tacos weren't too bad but the rice and beans were nasty and had this funny taste too them. The guacamole was not real guacamole, it was a super smooth texture and you could dang near pour it on your tacos. Don't recommend this place one bit

June/30/2025 So, my wife, my grandma, and I were looking to go out for lunch since we live two hours away and wanted to spend some time with her. We’ve seen this place sitting here for a while but never went, so we decided to stop by for some lunch. We started off by getting chips and salsa brought to the table. The salsa was extremely bland and had more of a chopped tomatoes From a can type of consistency , and the chips tasted stale and old. A lot of them were stuck/fried together, and the plate was filled maybe halfway. We bought it up to our server, and he said, “Yeah, I can’t do anything about it. If that’s how full they want to fill it, that’s how full it is, and if you want more, you have to pay for more. People would just eat and eat and eat if it was free .” Myself being Latino, I’ve never been to an Authentic Mexican Restaurant and been charged for more chips or salsa, but hey, everywhere is different. So, we left that at that. We ordered drinks: soda, water, horchata. The waiter forgot some of the drinks and didn’t bring them to the table until we bought it up to him. Over the course of our entire meal, which was a good maybe 45 min, our glasses were not filled once, and we had stacked them on the edge of the table. Mind you, the server came to the table and took a plate . Next, we started ordering our food. My wife got the 3-tostada dinner with no complaints other than the food being bland. My grandma ordered the 3-enchilada dinner with no complaints from that other than it being bland. My grandma had ordered a side of guac for $ 1.00, and they bought a tablespoon worth of guac, which is ridiculous. I ordered Luci Tampiquena. The steak platter was honestly pretty fatty all the way through. The eggs were, in my opinion, pretty undercooked. They had forgotten the tortillas and they didn’t bring them until we bought it up and when they did they were almost completely undercooked hard. The employees were standing around talking to each other, and I had to bring it up once again in order to get something I ordered. I had ordered an à la carte Chile Relleno for my wife and me. They bought the plate out with a pool of grease around the entire chili with it continuously leaking , so we sent it back. They took it without issues. The bill came around. The service, food, etc., all around was not a pleasurable experience at all, so we did not end up not leaving a tip and writing a note stating the service was poor. When tipping someone at dinner, you typically look at service, food, and how they waited, and from the three of us, we didn’t feel watered at all. The only time they came to the table was for a plate and the bill or if we called them over. As we were walking out the door, the owner ran outside and said, “ Yeah, you guys can go ahead and not ever come back again.” and proceeded to walk away and keep on talking. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND FOR ANYONE looking for AUTHENTIC Mexican food Or at that even a good service restaurant in general I lived in a highly Hispanic-populated neighborhood, with plenty of authentic REAL Mexican food, and this is far from it and far from being a spot I’d ever come back to.

Went to have dinner by myself and was instantly greeted with warm welcoming by the staff! A drink was accidentally spilled on my food by a server and there was zero hesitation to remake the order. Very friendly staff, definitely a 10/10!

We were looking for something away from all the Milwaukee downtown noise. This place was the right choice. Quieter, very friendly, nice atmosphere. Amazing food, filled the plates full at a decent price. Jayden was our server. He did an excellent job.
I will return. I was treated like a friend. Any place that hangs a picture of the Pope and what appears to be family and friends on their restaurant wall has some amazing worth while values. I highly recommend this place. Cost us $24, and 38 minutes later filled full, Better than McDonald's.
