Yep this Texan was expecting tortilla chips with queso. Learned my lesson ... it was house made potato chips with a type of spicy cheese dig (like a pimento and cheese but smooth & creamy). Good. The main dishes were the pulled pork sandwich ... lots of meat and a really tasty bbq sauce. As well as the bacon jam ham sandwich. The sandwich was pilled high with thick sliced ham covered in bacon jam and that same dip. Super unique but really good.

I've given it several chances because it's been around so long. Never again. I truly believe people say they like it just because it's local. No one can actually like their food. The Chilitos that are their signature item have zero flavor. The tortillas are weird and doughy, and leave white crumbs all over. Just get a chili cheese burrito at Taco Bell, 2200 times better. I had a burrito that tasted like canned dog food smells. I tried to put hot sauce on them to mask the flavor and it was similar to watered down catsup. Just the worst Mexican food in Mankato, that's all there is too it. I hate Taco John's and I would go there 100 out of 100 times over this dump. So many better options now.

Everything was absolutely outstanding, in fact I'd rate both sandwiches as top 5 all time, possibly top 3. Our Bartender/server, Kay, was quite friendly & did a great job of taking care of us.

The menu has a lot of variety which we are looking forward to trying out. The prices are very reasonable especially considering the portion size. The restaurant has a creative decor with bait buckets turned upside down and used as canned lighting. The salt shakers were in little row boats which added a special touch. The interior is very clean and new and the staff was very friendly. I highly recommend this place.

The inside is clean and serviceable, but could use something just a bit more. The bait bucket lights were a nice touch, but that felt like the only bit of personality in the place.
