Really good food. I had been here previously and the service was terrible so hadn't been back for awhile but decided to give it another try and I'm happy I did. The server was awesome.

We’ve just moved to Wisconsin from Texas and decided to stay in Wausau for the night. The pictures looked good and it was close by our hotel. We were the only table in there at 9 on a Friday, but let me tell you… this was by far the best Mexican food we have had since leaving Texas in June. Wait staff was attentive, food was impeccable and I liked that it was low key! 10/10 will be back!

Disappointed. That is the best I can give them. After reading the reviews it seemed like most loved the food but there were issues with service/staff. My experience was on the other end of the spectrum. Staff was friendly and attentive but the place was also empty on a Wednesday night. Food was far from authentic. I ordered many different things to get a good hold of what they could bring to the taste. First the bad. The margarita was a mix and a poor one at that. The salsa tasted like Rotella poured into a blender and hit blend. Tasted very strongly of canned tomatoes. The average was the Carne asada. The steak was tough without spice. Nice that it came with cactus but even that was rubber. Pico and guacamole were both tasteless like it came straight off the back of the Sysco truck. The good was the tortilla soup which was actually more of a chicken soup. At least it finally had some flavor especially after the waitress brought a house made hot sauce that was the shining star of the meal and actually was finally close to authentic. Cool atmosphere that could be a fun place to bring friends but unfortunately it's not enough to garner a return trip for me. There has got to be better in town. So disappointing.

A co-worker and I were in town for a conference and ended up at Jalapeños for lunch. It was pretty quiet when we arrived at noon on a Thursday and we were seated and served quickly.We ordered the 2 for 1 margaritas— I had a regular lime margarita on the rocks and my co-worker ordered a raspberry margarita, blended. The server seemed to have a hard time understanding us; we are sure that my co-worker’s margarita was not raspberry…. It was maybe strawberry, it has hard to tell. It was also very watery for a blended margarita.We both ordered a lunch special, me the chicken chimichanga and he the ranchero cheesesteak. Our food came out very quickly.The chimichanga was very small, the smallest one I’ve ever had, but they were generous on the cheese sauce. The toppings (guacamole, salsa, lettuce, sour cream) were also generous. The rice and beans were tasty but not warm enough. My co-worker was hungry and scarfed his up.We needed separate bills, and again we had a slight issue/miscommunication with our server about this. He fixed it but had he had a hard time understanding what we needed.I would say that the food and service was pretty average.

We lucked out and there was hardly anyone there, the service was perfect and the food was delicious. The staff was very happy and were continually checking if there was anything we needed. I highly recommend trying it out. I've already recommended to everyone I've talked to.

I am sure the food is better than what experience. Food came out slightly warm. The presentation looked great, but Mexican food is not good when cold. Plus, there was a glitch with regards to the service. I don’t believe they knew who was cover what tables. May try it again, but there are others I will try
