I was especially impressed by the cheese and grilled chicken quesadilla on the children's menu. It was packed full and "actual" food. Great value. Food 5/5. Service, though, was lacking. I don't think this was a restaurant wide issue. Other servers appeared to be attentive to their tables. Ours never checked on us or offered drink refills/chip refills. Somewhat unfriendly. It was weird. Service 3/5.

My favorite orders are nachos suprema, steak a la mexicana and molcajetes. Quesadillas are very good as well. The salsa is not spicy by default but you can request spicy salsa if your able to handle it. They have delicious jarritos if you like great tasting pop, and sometimes horchatta upon request. Those are my favorites for drinks. The servers are super nice. They give great service. If you are visiting cedar point and love Mexican food, make sure you do not leave Sandusky without visiting this place.

DATE & TIME OF VISIT: July 15, 2025 @ 7:20pm. They were not too busy (there was no wait line and…read morea handful of tables of people). AMBIANCE & CLEANLINESS: Very authentic look and decor inside and out. Music was not blasting (which we appreciated!). Booths are a bit uncomfortable. Not a big place so if you go during busy times you will probably have a longer wait. Things appeared clean. HOSTESS & SERVER: The host was friendly and sat us right away. Our server was very nice, she explained anything we had questions on. And checked on us several times throughout our time there. I believe this is a family business that works here together. FOOD: This is what we ordered.... Chips & Salsa -- Taste: Delicious, crisp chips that are fresh and the salsa is perfect heat (not too spicy). Portion size: Great, you can have refills if needed. Price: $0 (complementary) #23 Enchiladas Jalisco -- Taste: This was the daily special, it was three cheese enchiladas topped with red sauce and shredded pork served with Mexican rice and refried beans and it was delicious. The enchiladas have great taste and the shredded pork is tender and perfect. The rice was balanced in flavors and the refried beans were some of the best we have had! True authentic Mexican food! Portion size: Normal compared to other similar restaurants of this style. Price: $10. and change (but this was the special, it is normally $11. and change). OVERALL THOUGHTS: Paid $40. and change (w/o tip included) which felt comparable to similar restaurants of this style (we drink water so no beverages just entrees). Server was very kind, service was fast. It's not a big place so it may be a wait if they are busy. Atmosphere is wonderful, music is at a good level that you can actually have a conversation. WOULD I RETURN? Yes, if we are in the area again. PLEASE NOTE: if you go to their website, the prices are NOT what is listed nor are the specials! The prices have increased by about an average of $3-4 (on each item). And the specials are not what are listed, I don't think they have updated their website in awhile.

Don't let the exterior fool you--this place is an absolute winner…read more ​Pull up to the building and you might question whether you're in the right spot, but step inside and the warm ambiance and friendly staff immediately put you at ease. ​While the menu features typical bar fare like stuffed jalapeños and hushpuppies, the moment the food hits your table, you realize they are not messing around: ​Jalapeño Poppers: Top-notch batter and a incredible golden crisp. ​Hushpuppies: Served with a brown sugar butter that is pure bliss! ​Seasoned Fries: Absolute perfection. ​My family was thoroughly pleased with every single entree we ordered, from the fresh Caesar salad to the stuffed burger. My husband, who is extremely picky about meat quality, declared it the best burger he's ever had. Stuffed burgers are notoriously tricky to cook to a preferred well-done without drying out, but the kitchen nailed it! ​My only minor critique--and this is just personal preference as a bit of a seasoning buff--is the perch. The fish itself was amazingly fresh, which is the most important detail, but the fried batter was a little plain for my taste. I would've loved a kick of Old Bay or extra seasoning in the batter, similar to how amazingly seasoned the fries were! ​All in all, this spot is a great hidden gem in Sandusky. Highly recommend stopping in!

The food was great, waiting for it... Not so good…read more To be fair, it was packed on a Friday night. We waited 45 minutes to get a salad, it was a Caesar salad salad and they were already out of Romain dressing at 7 PM on a Friday night. We had a Caesar salad salad with spring mix instead... No big deal. The portions were huge, but our dinner came in an hour and 15 minutes after we sat down. It was painfully slow, I will say our waitress was apologetic and helpful. And I know that it was busy, but it's really no excuse for it to look so dirty. It only takes a minute to sweep under a table after a party leaves. The bathroom was deplorable, there was water on the floor and muddy footprints everywhere. The napkins on the ground around the tables along with discarded french fries and shrimp tails were a bit gross. The food is five star, the rest... ehhhhh

After visiting the area for many summers we finally tried this place on a Thursday night as their kitchen was open til a decent hour. We were immediately impressed with the complimentary chips and amazing salads trio that was both fresh and oh so good. I was not familiar with fried salmon( I always enjoy it grilled, broiled, or baked) so I tried the taco featuring three delicately fried pieces topped with pickled onions and a medley of fresh veggies. I swapped my mixed fries for the street corn which did not disappoint but after sampling my husband's mixed fries I realized I made the wrong choice as the mixed fries are out of this world. Similarly, the birria tacos are juicy perfection that I now see why are the popular choice on the menu. Get them. You won't regret it. A seasonal peach margarita also blew my doors off as it was made with fresh and real ingredients - no prep made syrups here. The beautifully preserved lime and peach and choice of rim only added to the wow factor. We left full, feeling pampered and impressed. Can't wait to return next time we're in the Lakeside vicinity!

We ended up eating here 2 days in a row! I chose this restaurant for our Saturday night dinner…read morebecause the specials on the board out front and the dessert list looked great, and they were. Saturday night was pretty popular and the patio was full, so we sat inside, which is why our photos were rather dark. We started with a round of drinks. I had a glass of rose. Note that the drinks menu is several pages longer than the food menu, with beer, wine, and a variety of specialty and standard cocktails. They also have an espresso bar. It wasn't on the menu, but we ordered the Street Corn dip from the specials board on the sidewalk. We got a nice sized serving, and it was very good. I had the za'atar roast chicken for my entree, and it was delicious! The chicken comes with a lemon yogurt sauce, and Fattoush salad, but the salad was kind of a cross between Fattoush and tabbouleh, with pita chips and a grain base. It was a great combo, and the chicken was very juicy and seasoned nicely. I ended up with a slice of the almond cake, which was moist and had sliced almonds on top. Very much needed after missing out in the ice cream stop this afternoon! One of my friends had a bowl of gumbo and the other one had the taco pie. Since everyone enjoyed their dinner, and we confirmed that the patio was dog friendly, we returned with Miss Pup for brunch. We were able to snag a patio seat with a super friendly server. Miss Pup mostly hung out under the table, but managed to convince some other diners to pet her. We went with some plates for the table - Chicken and Waffle, Chilaquiles, and the special Quiche, which had sundried tomatoes, bacon and feta. All 3 portions were just right for us. The chicken was really moist and the waffle had slightly crispy edges. It came with some fruit and syrup. The quiche slice was generous and it came with a large portion of salad with a fruity vinaigrette. The sundried tomatoes were a really fun addition! I chose the chilaquiles. I'm pretty sure the chips were fried fresh (the ones last night were not), and I liked that it had beans and pico on top! This dish did not contain enchilada sauce, it was more like breakfast nachos, but I really enjoyed it. This place is definitely worth a stop, and the menu stands out from the standard island fish and chips and burgers fare (not that I dislike those things, just something different)!

I have been coming to chili's since I was a kid so I knew what I wanted to order. She tried to get me to order the fajitas for two claiming its the same amount of food.

Now if it's horrible like that all the time the stars would be less than 3. One other issue is they have issues with the grill or don't have enough beef for the night. Also closing at 9pm is insane
