Decided to try Lago on a Tuesday night. We were seated right away. My waiter didn't understand…read moreenough English to answer all my questions, but he was able to take our order. I got the street tacos which were delicious but different than any tacos I've ever had. The steak was cooked with pineapple and chorizo. It came with very good beans and garlicky guacamole and the spiciest dipping sauce I've ever had! Hubby got the special fajitas which also had chorizo, "ribeye" (tasted like round steak) and chicken. It came tortillas, guacamole, pico de gayo sour cream and beans. This was enough for at least 2 people which we might share next time.

Real cloth napkins and nice heavy silverware were another nice touch. Hard to find those any more, even in upscale restaurants. My food was fresh and very well made. I had the Baleadas La Express Supreme breakfast which was two big breakfast tacos with steak, egg, cheese, avocado, crema, etc. Very filling, stick-to-your-ribs kind of food. The flour tortillas were thick and flaky. The rest of the ingredients were excellent as well. I wanted to get some plantains (I love plantains!) but I was too full to eat another bite. The servers and staff were friendly. My coffee cup never got empty. My food came out quickly. It was a little pricey for a breakfast, but it was worth it for the excellent food and the cultural experience with it. No complaints at all. Highly recommended. I will surely be coming back to try some of the other items on the menu.

This is, hands down, my favorite place to eat when I visit this area. To be honest, I'm kind of…read moresad, because the business moved across the street to a new amazing building. The new building and store is amazing. Why am I sad? Because I loved the small place they had before (across the street). But im so happy for the owners, as they deserve all the good business they can get. You can buy fresh seafood to take home, or sit in the restaurant and eat from a huge menu of options. It's impossible to get something you don't enjoy. A huge congrats and blessing to the owners at their new location. It's a casual, fun eatery with great food. Guaranteed!

First off I have to be honest and say that I have never eaten in the restaurant. However, I have…read moreeaten their food many times. I have always had it to go. The catfish platter is always good and the portion is fair. Truthfully, I just wish that they participated in some of the delivery services. As for the market side. It looks clean and appears to be your typical seafood market. However, from my experience I don't buy my fresh shrimp from them. Once was enough. I had my wife stop and buy some shrimp for dinner at home and they were anything but fresh. They were old and difficult to clean. So my take on this place is go for the restaurant but leave the market side alone.

Okay, this is my fifth visit here in five months so it's safe to say I'm either a glutton for…read morepunishment or that this place is great. Fortunately, it's the later, by a wide margin. Why you ask? Simple, it's great. My reasons: 1) Every time we've been here the service has been great. Not good, great. We've taken the time to meet/talk to the serving staff and they all have been friendly, attentive, and really good at their jobs. We have also met the owners and they too are lovely people. 2) The setting, given that's it's in a small strip mall is great. They have a large patio, plenty of umbrellas as booths, and multiple water features including a water wall. Inside the restaurant is equally beautiful. This is not Chi-Chis or some place trying to faux up the setting. 3) The food is great. If you are looking for typical Americanized Mexican, Spanish, South American food, this is not your place. If you are instead looking for great food that is more interesting, this is the place. For example, tonight we had a chicharron that looked liked two of biggest fried slices of hog heaven you could hope for. It was amazing! We also had the chimichurri sauce which was slightly different from what we have had in the past but it too was awesome! We even asked for some to go to which they said of course. 3) The portion size of most of what we've had over the five visits have almost always fit the price while things such as the steak fajitas were on the generous side for 2026. Bonus, big bonus- They are very dog friendly so your four legged and well behaved dogs are more than welcome in their spacious outdoor patio. And since the tables (not the booths) are not tightly together it's a good place even for the truly big dogs! That about covers it. So bring your fur baby, have a drink (they have some nice concoctions ) and enjoy a restaurant that recreates so many things from one of the owner's youth. And if you can sit outside, you will enjoy it even more! As always, apologies for my usually long and hopefully epic review. Cheers and happy dining all!
