I've been coming up to Minocqua for 35 years. Was excited to see this Mexican place. Stopped in at…read more5 pm on a Tuesday. We sat at the bar. Bartender was super nice. Got us a jalapeno margarita and a strawberry margarita. Horrible. Get a sangria NOT A MARGARITA! The ambiance is great so this place could have potential. We ordered cheese curds and the jalapeno cornbread for an appetizer. The cheese curds were decent and the corn bread IS AMAZING. Only amazing thing we ate. 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. The burrito my husband had was extremely salty and my husband loves salt, so if he's saying this- take it into consideration. Bill was $75. Will not be back.

The Watering Hole's fare is far from the best I've eaten -- but sometimes a basic burrito and a glass beer are exactly what one needs to fill their belly. I ordered the "Big Burrito" and my wife ordered the "Bean Burrito." Because they have no beer on tap we ordered bottles of Negra Modelo to drink. Both of our burritos were amply stuffed with meat or beans, cheese, lettuce and tomato, and served with refried beans and Mexican rice. Two ounce cups of salsa and sour cream were served on the side, and additional sauces (hot and mild) were on the table. Our burritos reminded me of the ones I make at home when I'm scrounging around the fridge to use up left over meat, refried beans, cheese and veggies. Even though the ingredients were casually tossed together and rolled up in a tortilla, and though it was not particularly attractive on the plate, the taste was fine, the quantity was ample, and our hunger was sated. I doubt that I'll come back specifically for the food -- but the location is convenient (right on US 51), the bartender/server was friendly, the kitchen was efficient, the price point was acceptable, and the food was satisfactory, so when it fits my needs, I'll come back.
