What a wonderful place! This little hole in the wall is a hidden gem. Family owned and operated restaurant serving authentic Mexican food. The owners were extremely nice people who welcomed us and conversed with us just as if we had all know each other our entire lives. The food was fantastic! I had the chicken enchiladas covered with a chocolate Molé poblano's sauce and served with rice, beans, and Pico de gallo. Melissa had the chicken enchiladas covered with a tangy green Molé sauce. We loved everything about this restaurant; the hospitality and the authenticity of the decor and food! I'm very happy we stumbled on this restaurant, and we will definitely be back!

Torta with Pastor Pork
Peter H.

This is one of my favorite places to go. Small town or big town, this place can compete with the best of them. I've had the Mexican style tacos before. Tripas (Tripe) - Get this crunchy (fried) and you'll love it. It's got the airy, crispy texture of a fresh pork-rind. Carne Asada (Steak) - Flavorful, but I've had better at some other places. Lengua (Tongue) - Just about as good as anywhere else. Nice and tender. Pastor (Seasoned Pork) - This is my favorite. The meat is so tender and savory that you won't need any salsa to make it flavorful. The Torta sandwich is also great. The bread looks big but don't be fooled as it's quite airy and light in texture. You won't feel like you're biting into a loaf of bread. Get it with the Pastor pork and you'll keep ordering it again.

My second dine here, the first being last September so surprised at no listing on Yelp. I'll fix that. Bottom line: solid family style Mexican restaurant, sort of on the traditional side with tacos but also a nice selection of burritos and a few other offerings that don't offend but might be considered more Americanized Mexican (nothing wrong with that). Funky interior, no fuss, no muss (I'll upload photos if allowed), and shares a space and access point with a Mexican grocery next door run by the same proprietor. The grocery is not only a must visit, but you actually pay the bill for your meal there which is an interesting twist. Near as I can tell, everything here is prepared from scratch including the chips which appear to be made and fried locally in-house. A bit crunchy and uneven but sure prefer these to the stuff out of a bag most places are serving. A real nice salsa heavy on cilantro and onions (bravo) and on this visit they had an optional sauce bar you could serve yourself pico de gallo, pickled jalapenos, green and red sauces of varying temperature, pickled hot veggies, etc. Nice. Had the four enchilada platter meal with rice, beans and a healthy serving of lettuce and onions. No plate over-run with melted orange or white cheese, thank you. Companion had a pork burrito that was large enough to fill him and will serve as his full lunch on Monday (think big). Good service, *great* Latin music on the corner stereo, your typical Mexican painting on the wall, plastic hanging decorations, you get the drift. Meal came quick and was very tasty. This is your typical solid Mexican neighborhood joint without any pretense. Good selection of Mexican beers, priced affordable. Worth the visit. I only get in this area of the country a few times a year and this a hard choice to say no to for a solid affordable meal. Pretty sure I'll be back.

Service: Excellent!!!! Server/hostess was very polite, kind, and attentive! Food: Amazing flavor and great portions. The torta was huge, packed with lettuce, pork, beans, sour cream and fresh avocados. The red enchiladas was delicious. Stuffed with steak and served with rice, beans, and lettuce. We really enjoyed the food!!! Price: We paid about $16 with tax for the enchilada platter (8.99) and the huge torta (5.99). Just a side note BRING CASH! Their card machine does not work. Ambiance: Authentic feel, clean, and nice atmosphere. Overall: We had a great experience and enjoyed our food very much. We will definitely be back when we're in town.

Yo quiero tacos.  Dog was out front

See all

I would say this is the best authentic Mexican restaurant in Manitowoc so far. Haven't tried the new one but so far it's been the best.
