    Cute atmosphere
    Jennifer R.

    The food was decent, but the price is high (it's on the resort so no surprise), and it's definitely catered to people who love "Mexican" food, but not authentic Mexican.

    The restaurant is clean and comfortable. Service is pretty good. The food was very good. Margaritas have a lot of ice. The ease of eating on resort is ideal; for this reason I would eat here again.

    The atmosphere is very clean and definitely gets you in the mood for some Mexican food! This is our second night at Kalahari and we did the Italian blaze last night and holy cow. The servings sizes at both of these places are absolutely absurd! My husband and I can definitely put down some food, but this place had us only finishing half of what we ordered! Waitress was pretty good at first, and then she got kind of busy.. I appreciated everything on the menu. There was definitely some unique options to choose from! I will definitely come back! Probably wouldn't get the quesobirria again. I am a huge credit on those and this just did not do it for me.

    Walking past Cinco Ninos several times to the waterpark the smells lure you in! We decided to have dinner here on Sunday evening and did not leave disappointed. Service was quick and friendly. Food was good overall, although I would not recommend the taquitos. I choose them for my main meal and they were very bland and not much chicken filling. The outside was not as crispy as I prefer. My husband had the fajitas and said they were delicious and the portion size was more than generous. My daughter has the kids quesadilla with fries and she loved them. We also had the Mexican street corn appetizer which was very good, although different than were used too. This dish was incredibly cheesy; more like thick queso with corn on top. We shared a pitcher of mango margaritas which was very good. Overall it was a good meal and we'll eat here again next trip to Kalahari.

    Visited Kalahari Resort in Wisconsin Dells on New Year's day for a short holiday get away. After a half days off water slides, we made reservations at Cinco Ninos for a party of 5 at 6pm. Arrived at 6p and was immediately seated. However, the staff was a bit busy and it was 6:14p when our server finally took our order. That said he was very friendly, and took our drink and meal order. Our drinks were delivered quickly, followed by our chips and salsa. The dining area is well lit and casual. Very amenable to families with young children. Has lots of big tables for large groups. Restroom was clean and well stocked. Went thru the chips and salsa fairly quickly. Refills are $3.00. The kitchen seems slammed which is surprising as I can count at least 9 empty tables. Seems to have enough servers, but 30 minutes after ordering and still no meals or even a complimentary chips & salsa. Our waters were refilled as needed. The sodas were not. And 32 minutes after ordering, our meals arrived. Taste was great. Portion sizes were very generous. All our orders were correct. It was a good dinner, it just took a while.

    Great food and ambiance right near the water park entrance! Service was super slow for not being crowded so otherwise I recommend

    The location of this restaurant is absolutely perfect. They have an outdoor patio that overlooks…read morethe water and the inside is beautiful with large windows of the view. We did not have the best experience with the service unfortunately. Our reservation table was not ready on arrival and nobody came up to our table to greet or take our drink order until around 20 minutes after we sat down. We also had requested to sit outside and they reported that they didn't have a table for this. I checked outside after and they had multiple tables outside open. I ordered the mushroom risotto and espresso martini. The espresso martini was amazing. Would definitely order again!

    A cool Sunday afternoon on our trek back home we stopped here for dinner. Recommended by our Uber…read moredriver on a previous trip. Not very busy at the time, we sat out on the back patio. The host and the server asked us a couple of times if we were sure we wanted to sit outside since it was a bit chilly. But our minds were set and we were happy with our decision to sit outside; enjoying the fresh air and sunset views. And really it wasn't too bad at all with a light sweater on. The inside of the restaurant was rather warm which is perhaps why they thought it was so cold out on the back patio. Their cocktail list was classic and not overwhelming. I chose the Negroni. Dinner was the Mahi Po-Boy sandwich. Fish was cooked to perfection. Sandwich wasn't super fancy or overloaded with fillings. Just a light drizzle of cucumber aioli and a little coleslaw mixture. My only complaint is that the bread was a little too heavy or thick, it took away from the overall light flavor and texture of the fish. Perhaps something a little thinner would complement it more? Final thoughts: worth the view, relaxed environment, a step away from the busier main streets, feels more local and less touristy than the surrounding area.

    We needed a place for dinner while we were staying at our rental and drove past this place and…read morethought it looked interesting. Yelp and google gave it pretty decent reviews, so we stopped in. One thing that was cool was last night the patio was reserved for only those who had dogs. It would have been neat to know that ahead of time and we could have brought our dog. Not sure if that's a daily thing or special for Saturday nights. The inside was cool, you can see the historic charm in this place. We got immediate seating, which was really nice. We were told multiple times the kitchen was backed up and we would have to wait about 45 minutes for our food. That was fine. We figured if we ordered an appetizer to go with dinner it would come out earlier. Our friends appetizers came out nearly an hour later. My husband and I each ordered a cup of the French onion soup and we got it 30 minutes after our friends got theirs. Our main courses came out shortly after that. Two of us ordered the chicken masala, one ordered a steak, and I ordered the salmon. All of our food was amazing. My husband said hands down the best meal in a restaurant in 2026. It would have been nice if the restaurant offered us a free dessert or round of drinks for the extremely long wait. Honestly I was about to ask if they even started making our meals when the soups finally came out, because if they hadn't I'd have said forget it. If I'm being honest, I'd have rated our experience lower, because that wait time was awful. But the food was delicious and this surely can't be something that happens regularly, because if it was, this place would have way less 5 star reviews. If I'm in the area again I'd give this place another shot, and hopefully our wait time is much shorter and the food is just as good.

    Super cute decor but food was just ok. Very good priced but it just wasn't the best to me. It…read morelooked amazing but tasted a little blah I had chicken fettuccine salad.
