We shared the the fish taco dish and the jarocho. They were both delicious AND GLUTEN FREE! There was a greater variety of foods available than I've seen at other Mexican restaurants. The atmosphere put you in the right frame if mind to be eating Mexican food, including showing a line of Jarritos soda bottles and the various flavors. Adding to the ambiance were the multiple TVs showing a futbol match. The service was good, but a little slow. In their defense, the place was busy, so, to be honest, the service was good.

Do come if you want a fun time hanging out with genuine hardworking staff and locals. Do come if you want great food delivered with personality. The menu is not huge and at first look is kind of ordinary, however it's the flavors of the food that elevate the ordinary to really great stuff. Again, the food is not batch prepared and warmed up to serve it out fast. Be prepared to sit back enjoy the chips and the banter of the staff and patrons as the kitchen works on your food. The restaurant overlooks a beautiful lake, can't ask for better scenery. The owner and her staff are real and you can feel the heart they put into what they do. We will definitely make another trip up to Chico's North of the Border. Note that they're open at like 5pm Thursday-Saturday

I went for the "Neck Breaker" burrito - filled with ribeye/shrimp/chorizo and it was a giant monster covered in green salsa and sour cream. I'll leave out one small detail, but it was a funny way of serving. Surf and turf meal and super filling, I had to pack the other half to go. Chips and salsa, complimentary were pretty good.

I was with my girlfriend & her family for a weekend getaway. Being from the Milwaukee area, we…read morewanted a Fish Fry on a Friday night dinner. This place was highly recommended so we went. Entering, the place is large & can easily accommodate groups of 6 to 8 people bc even for a Friday with it being busy there are more seats than you'd expect. I got the Cajun Cod with Sweet Potato fries. I didn't want beer battered so it was great to find a place that offers grilled, Cajun grilled, or Beer Battered for all fish fry's. The pieces were quality good size for a grilled cod, 3 quality sizes. Plus comes with good portion of side sweet potato fries for $1 extra. My girlfriend got the Fried Perch which was two massive pieces. Most of the table got a side salad instead of another side. Food was probably a 4 to 4.5 star. Not jaw dropping but not just basic at all. Negatives: Need a drink menu. I am not going to order a beer if you aren't going to give me what is offered. Simple as that. They brought a small pitcher of water (no more than 1.5L) for a table of 6. Water was room temperature & no ice at all. Waitress did write down one of our orders down incorrectly as cod instead of crab cake. His crab cakes didn't show up for another 20min. The poor part was that the waitress never came over at all during the 20min to give an update. Heck, didn't even come over to ask us anything or give us a refill on water. The owner of the restaurant came over but he was only asking how everything was. That was when we brought it up after 5min of the waitress being gone. The owner did give us a piece of carrot cake & was overly nice which is main reason this is a 3* & not a 2*. I usually am not harsh on reviews but the issue more was on the lack of communication between the waitress & our table. By the time he got his food, every single one of us was done or asking for a carry out box for their meal. While the owner was very nice, there obviously was a lack of communication between him & the waitress during the 20min wait bc even she was asking "can I get you something else?" not knowing the owner already had already given us some cake in a carry out container. I get Friday's are busy but don't put Crab Cakes on the menu (he got a side salad as the side so they didn't need any sides) if it takes 20min to make it or that nobody on a Friday night is ordering it at all that you can't skip an order. Also, I think the other table of 6 next to us was not happy on how long their food & drinks were taking. It was a bummer bc we were all really looking forward to a Friday Fish Fry in the UP.

The waitstaff are super friendly and their recommendation of deep fried whitefish was spot-on. The owner dropped by to say hello and he was really cool. The "pine cones ", which are deep fried mashed potatoes in a roughly cone shaped package of tastiness, are a nice accompaniment to the rest of the meal. The side salad was very good and having mostly local beers on tap was a very nice touch. Can't wait to try their prime rib night the next time I'm here on a weekend.

The complimentary chips and salsa... the salsa tasted like Tostitos salsa from a jar. Not authentic. My two chicken tacos with corn tortillas fell apart. Nothing worse than tacos that fall apart.
