    “Terrible. They have been late with my online order at least a dozen times and do not make the online order until I get there and tell them I placed an online order. they will look at the ticket and see it was promised 15-45 min earlier than I arrived and still have not made my order. I will tell the staff I see my ticket hung up so why didnt you make it. I have talked to manager 3x. I have refused to go there but caved after my kids asked me. and they failed again today, placed order at 3:45, for "promised time" of 4; got there at 405, they forgot and I didn't get my order until 4:25 after I told the staff they forgot about me. The time promised on the online order ticket means nothing. problem must be management as its only been like this since after 2020. they also forgot items all the time or give me the wrong food. also happened to get my kid the right side.”

    “Me and my Husband recently found out about this amazing place and if you want authentic Mexican cooking that's exactly what you will get. It made me emotional because it's reminded me of my grandma kitchen and the food was by far the best I've ever had. I leave extremely full and the food is fresh,hot and delicious. The cook are too older women Tere and Reyna and I have fell absolutely in love with there cooking. They never forget a customer and even make empanadas that are great snack to take home.My favorite are the chicken enchiladas I go crazy for the red sauce no one has made it as good or even close. The waiters are awesome always the boys are always a great conversation and get what I need right away. Go easy on the girl she does smile and will get the hang of the job.(Never know what a person going thru so be nice) But a 30 minute drive is always worth it. This is our favorite place and we try a new place everytime we decide to dine but now can't stop coming back for more. so from illinois and wisconsin this is our #1 spot and we'll worth it so glad it ain't far but I drive hours for the food!”

    “Small place, BIG flavor! 🌮🔥 Definitely one of those little hidden gems you’re glad you found. Some of the best tacos and gorditas I’ve had in Wisconsin so far, and the prices were great! Everything we ordered was hot, fresh, and made to order. We ended up getting two taco plates and two gorditas, and everything was absolutely delicious. We got there right as they opened, so they were still getting everything set up for the day and didn’t have the horchata or elote ready yet. Honestly, that just gives me another reason to come back because I definitely want to try both! If you’re looking for a small, no-frills spot with fresh food, generous flavor, and prices that won’t hurt your wallet, this place is absolutely worth stopping at. I’ll definitely be back! ❤🌮”

    “I've driven by this restaurant numerous times on my way to and from a storage unit. Today I finally got around to emptying the unit. I wanted to stop by. The parking lot was completely empty which might not be a good sign, but I wanted to try this place and so happy I did. They have so many hot sauces here we gave them all a try, my personal favorite el bufolo Mexican hot sauce. They did not have a menu on Google, so we ordered based off the pictures, and honestly everything had a lot of flavor. My brother absolutely loved the flan. This one was his favorite and he's had flan from a lot of restaurants. Overall this place deserves a lot of traffic, because it has phenomenal food. I will definitely come back here.”

    “I picked The Final Girl to host my 40th Birthday party and couldn't be more pleased with the whole experience. Chelsea was very responsive for all my questions and did a great job explaining our options. We ended up renting out the whole venue but there is a private room available for smaller private events as well. Chelsea made sure we were stocked up with all my favorite food and drinks. The staff was amazing! Our bartender Alisha was welcoming, friendly, and always made sure our drinks were full. Chelsea grinded away all night in the kitchen putting out order after order quickly and everything was delicious! The place is horror themed, has pinball, great food, great drinks, great staff, and welcoming of all. So if you are looking to book an event or just want a great environment to go out for an evening I highly recommend the Final Girl”
