I stopped here for lunch because I was in the area and I have never been here before. The place definitely has a very Mexican decor with the arches, colors, light fixtures etc etc. As you walk in there is a nice bar that smacks you in the face. Service was slow with two tables in service and my server never came back to check in on me so I had to get him for a box and the check, I also had to walk my money over to him and he still got a 41% tip for some reason from me ????. I need to learn to tip accordingly instead of me being me.
I ordered the combination dinner with one ground beef enchilada, one Al pastor taco and a ground beef tostada. The chips and salsa was decent with thick fresh corn chips, not warm by the way. The salsa was a purée style with good flavor and a mild heat finish but served in a tiny bowl that lasted 1/3 of the chips before it was gone.
The dinner comes with beans and rice. The beans were good and seasoned nicely. The rice was cooked perfectly and not mushy but bland like most Mexican restaurants but anyone who follows my reviews knows that my fix is to mix the beans and rice and top with the salsa but I didn't have very much salsa this time. The ground beef enchilada was topped with red sauce/cheese with moist ground beef. The al pastor taco was topped with fresh cilantro/onion and good but not very saucy with moist pork. The ground beef tostada was basically topped with lettuce, tomato and cheese with that moist ground beef.
Overall it was Milwaukee area average Mexican food with an authentic salsa to their own which was the tastiest part of the dish but it's a solid place with fresh food. read more
