Steak really overdone, but cactus wonderful. Love the margheritas. Normally order Zarape. Guess I'll stick with that particular dish.

Yes, it's Americanized Mexican, but it's still very good. I've eaten here a few times and have had perfectly fine food, sometimes quite delicious. Is it the most authentic or the most exotic? No, and for what it is, it's just fine. read more

Don't order the margaritas, made from cheap tequila that tasted and smell like gasoline.

This is our go to place for Mexican. Great food, great service-fast, and lot of room. Good selection of beer and beverages. Best in the city if you are headed south of the border for eats. read more

Disappointed! Ate there a year ago while visiting from Seattle. The fajitas were tasty, plentiful, and fairly priced. A year later (today), we sat in the bar and waited a long time to be served. Found out our waiter was new. Cool. We were patient, but his coworkers, including the manager were sitting in the bar watching TV and chatting while we are waiting to be served. When someone is new, you pitch in and help out. We could tell our waiter was nervous, so after we waited about and hour and a half, we asked the hostess if we should move from the bar to a table so we could get a menu. We were told the bar is closed but there is a full time server in there and we could stay there. Another waiterr took our order and promptly brought us a quesedilla appetizer, which was very good. When we paid the bill, the hostess took our money, but didn't bother to ask about our meal or the service. After we paid our bill and left, I returned to give the "helper" waiter a tip for helping out. He looked at me and then the hostess and smirked, as if they were caught. Didn't feel right. Won't be returning. read more

Another decent choice for Mexican food in Eau Claire. Sopa de pollo (chicken soup) very good!

Stumbled upon this place with a colleague of mine during a recent business trip to Eau Claire. The bean dip, tamales and tacos were above average. The guacamole and salsas on the other hand were pretty bland. Considering our low expectations for authentic mexican in Wisconsin, we were pleasantly surprised. read more

The food was tasty and reasonably priced, but our server was unbelievably slow. It took forever for him to take our order, and even longer to bring out our drinks. read more

We really like this place over Cancun's. We both had this rib eye steak which was really thin with some kind of chirizo and bean sauce on top and let em tell you that was delish. The service is always prompt and attentive. Margaritas good and We always order the cheese sauce to go with the chips and salsa. We will continue to eat here over Cancun. Of course like other posters again have posted it is Americanized but if you order the right things you will have a really good meal. Ive also had the carnitas here which are really good too. read more

I so wished the margaritas weren't a mix...takes away from the overall experience. Nice option to include kids meal prices. Food was good, not what I would call fully authentic. Nice atmosphere. Lots of space. read more

We were very great fans of this restaurant when it first opened. It was authentic Mexican, it had nice young Hispanic gentleman that brought the food out with showmanship and speed. Tonight we came in, my husband and I ordered at the same time. The table that was seated after us put their order in before ours. My husband's food was brought first. The table behind us got their food, I waited at least 10 minutes if not 15 before my food was brought. I also had to get up and find someone to have my soda refilled. Azul tequila has just lost two very faithful and loyal fans from the last five years. read more

Wonderful place! Very friendly staff and a very nice dining area. The food is amazing and is authentic to perfection. Not to mention great pricing--- a great place for a nice date, or a family meal. read more

A regular choice for the family as dine-in and takeout. I agree that it's American Mexican as other reviewers have indicated. We always order the cheese dip for the chips (delicious here and at Cancun). I get the Chimichunga's (all varieties are good). Take out menus are at the front desk and they have a bar area towards the back. read more

Every time I go there the food is great, However on our last trip 6/27 waitress was in corner texting and not very attentive as we was ready to leave she was at bar texting talking to her friends. I will not want her serving me again. read more

Sub par food. Sub par margaritas. The only thing that was good was the service and price. Tried It twice and there are just too many better options for mexican. Will never go back. Don't waste your money on the fish tacos! read more

Best salsa in town, try the enchiladas veracruz, you wont be disappointed. My wife and i go here when we're feeling fabulous!!

The food is always very good but the service is always very terrible!! Always having to either look for my waiter or not getting what I asked for. I always come back though because it's the best food . read more

The food was amazing and the service was soot on. So glad I found my go to for Mexican food. I came here for Taco Tuesday and they did not disappoint. The portions were perfect. Not too much and not skimpy. They brought 3 sauce to the table with the chips. All of them were so delicious. I ordered guacamole and it was fresh and chunky. Can't wait to bring family here. read more

In my opinion this is the best place in or around eau Claire for Mexican food. The staff is always GREAT. O eat here about once a week. Sometimes I order take out and it has always been perfect! read more

The problems begin with the menu: Two bean burritos with cheese sauce and covered with red sauce is listed as $6.99 as a combination. Note that beans and rice are not included. Two bean burritos on the a la carte menu are $5.25 with cheese sauce listed as an extra $1.00 for a total of $6.25---less than the combination menu! I tried the a la carte menu. The special red sauce covering the burritos tasted watery and had little flavor, as did the cheese covering it. One salsa provided with the free chips was passable (the other tasting like smokey, watery ketchup), but it only added to the watery flavor of the burrito. I could have spent less buying two or three bean burritos from Taco Bell and it would've been tastier. Don't waste your time with this one. read more

This place was very good! I had a burger which had avocado on it. I don't see why a burger was on a Mexican restaurant menu so I tried it and it was good. The desert was really good though it was a limited amount of 4 deserts and they were out of 1 of them. The food was really pricey and we got a frozen margarita when we asked for non frozen.overall a nice place to eat and experience read more

Cute interior and nice service but the food is very bland. I ordered a burrito and enchilada and everything was drenched in a bland cheese sauce. They need to use better quality, fresher ingredients--the food is just not very good. I've been here twice and was disappointed. read more

Great food. Love the a la cart as well. Reasonable prices too! Great service.

My new favorite Mexican restaurant in the Eau Claire area, and I've been to them all. I've enjoyed every dish I've tried off their extensive menu. Service and prices all both excellent and drink specials are great. Consistently great and you can't do more than that. read more

If you've been to El Patio or Cancun then remain customers of those two...

DO NOT EAT here! Especially if there is a Taco Bell nearby. Really, it's that bad. While in town for the night, we (8 of us)had a craving for Mexican food. Let me give you an example of our food. Chili Relleno...pre-made and frozen. Chicken Chimichanga...chicken preportioned and frozen. Ground Beef Taco....ok, but very little flavor. Ground Beef Enchilada...frozen (the meat at least). The ground beef was crumbly and fell out of the taco, yet was formed like meatloaf in the enchilada. Cheese Quesadilla.....white cheese that resembled melted and reformed Velveeta. The chips and salsa were good, beans and rice were good, that's it. Seriously. Comments passed around the table made the conclusion that this tasted like hospital food. I've had Mexican food that's twice as good, for less cost. Really wish we'd have checked Yelp before we went. Oh yeah, we were laughed at when we complained. Even accused of half eating our food. Well, when a chicken chimichanga smells like frozen shrimp, wouldn't you send it back? Normally when you leave these places you have the flavor in your mouth for awhile, here we taste nothing. I can't imagine how bad the special cheese sauce is that costs a dollar extra. Our waitress was very pleasant while we were there, until the end when she appeared to have inhaled laughing gas or something. I just don't get why it's funny when your customer is telling you how bad the food is. Oh well, it's a memory we will never forget. We won't ever forget to not go back. Gave one star because I couldn't give zero. read more

I USED to love this place, the food was great! You u could honestly tell that that chefs took their time preparing and seasoning their food to perfection! .... But I now have no idea what happened , I invite my family to eat out, just raving how amazing it was, and what we got was rude hosts service who had a problem moving us because she couldn't count how many people were with us ( only 4 ). The food was terrible , I ordered the southwest egg rolls as app, and it was discussing you could completely tell it was from a frozen food box and simply reheated! The rest of our food was so not like it was to be, unseasoned and slopped together. Have not eaten here since! read more

Best place in the mid west. This comming from a texad mexican for close to real. Nothing compares within 200 miles

I got lunch takeout for my parents and myself. My dad got the taco salad, my mother the special of the day-a steak quesadilla fajita- and I got the zarape. Basically, we got a fuck-ton of food for about $7 a person. Pretty tasty, too. read more

A group of 20 of us dined there and I experienced, single-handledly, the worst customer service ever. We were absolute baffled by the unprofessionalism of a waitress by the name of Sonia. Then when I informed the man at the front door (who I believe was the GM) about our experience, my concern was dismissed. We are still scratching our heads by the way we were treated by not one, but two, employees. So unfortunate..... read more

I'm not originally from this area and perhaps I've been lucky to be in a city with wonderful food! But this place is awful. They sent out tacos (hard shell that you buy in a box at Walmart) without tomatoes, lettuce or any topping. This was during lunch and when I complained, they didn't seem too interested. Will not go back for the food or the service read more

What changed? (Note...these other reviews are OLD,,,be aware)Owners, management, cook or what? This used to be one of my favorites but on the bottom of the list now. Taco Bell is better now. Took out of town visitors there Saturday Christmas weekend 2017 at 6 pm. Surprised there was only a couple cars in parking lot. Used to have buy one get one free margarita but they changed to buy 2 get one free. Do not like the change as most times there is a party of 2 or 4 and it just doesn't work well. I used to love their taco salad and ordered again. Very disappointed in this LITTLE fluted taco bowl that was way over browned on the top and not much in the salad...extremely bad presentation. The other 4 in our party order the chimi's also another of my favorites that I recommended. Chimi is suppose to be a flakey pastry deep fried stuffed with shredded beef (or chicken) topped with a gravy, guacamole, sour cream etc. What was served was a soft shell taco with GROUND BEEF and what seemed to be a glaze. Very poor presentation also. I will not be going back here again. read more
