First time visiting Milwaukee and first time here. Had the chilaquiles and would most definitely recommend! This dish is very hard to find at home so it’s always good to find it when I can.

We had a fabulous time here for the second time. Both waiters/waitresses were very attentive, kind and courteous. The food both times came out very fast. The blended strawberry margaritas are amazing. We’ve tried the enchiladas verde, guacamole, burrito bowl and the burrito, chimichanga and taco combo - all very delicious! The establishment is very clean - surprisingly, even the bathrooms. The first time we visited, I filled out a review for a raffle to win a $25 gift certificate...
