    Mango margarita
    Taylor R.

    Amy was great our server! the drinks was strong n many variations of drinks. Price for food was a bit high for basic Mexican. Loved the decor especially the star lights. Cool seeing them play guitar for your birthday made them unique for sure. Bar inside and plenty of TVs going. Bigger than it looks for seating.

    Mixtas
    Jon T.

    First time and good overall.. was hot, delicious and quick. Service was fast and always full when we drive by.

    Enchilada Lunch Plate
    Kylie H.

    Couldn't even wait to take the photo before I took a bite! lol Always a favorite with delicious salsa and fresh chips. The service was friendly and quick as usual. And the flavor was somehow better than usual?! Can't get enough of this place! Came for lunch this day and the whole table enjoyed it.

    Pollo Cancun
    Blake S.

    The meal was very good as well as the margaritas. I got the pollo Cancun which was fantastic. Had sautéed mushrooms, shrimp with rice and beans. Very delicious overall. The margaritas were also good and had the right amount of sweetness to alcohol ratio. The service was slower but it was busy per usual. It is a very loud atmosphere but the decorations make for a nice ambiance. I will return.

    Medium Cadillac Margarita
    Stacey C.

    First, I want to say this is one of my go to places. It's a favorite and close to home so I eat here a lot. Usually twice a week. The food here is consistently wonderful. Always authentic and it's family owned with its third generation just starting there. The service is great, we know the workers by name and they remember us and usually our orders. LOL The restaurant has been recently renovated, it has an outdoor patio and garage doors that are open when the weather is nice. If you are looking for good food, good people and a clean bright atmosphere, this is your place. I'll add new pictures soon. Hope you give this restaurant a try, you won't be sorry.

    Amazing food and great service from the staff. Fun atmosphere for the entire family and friends. Loud but full of good vibes.

    Queso Fundido
    Monica M.

    Awesome place! Always busy too. Great authentic Mexican spot- portions are large and service is fast. Margaritas are great! Queso fundido dip is delicious- this isn't the soft cheese dip though FYI- harder cheese dip with chorizo. More than enough for 2-4 people. The fajitas are always delicious. Fresh and hot! Salsa and chips are fresh and amazing. Highly recommend!

    We love coming here every Friday for months. The best Fresh Cadillac margaritas in town! The owner and staff are great!

    Chicken Wings
    Amy D.

    My favorite Mexican restaurant! I love tamales and theirs are some of the best. Moist, tender and full of flavor. We always split the tamales and an order of chicken wings. We always leave stuffed. Service is always spot on and the wait staff know what you want before you ask. Another great visit!

It wasn't bad by any means, but nothing we tried really stood out as excellent or memorable either. Everything was just okay. Service and atmosphere were acceptable, but the overall experience didn't leave much of an impression. It's the kind of place that works if you happen to be nearby and want a casual bite or drink, but it's not somewhere we'd actively seek out or go out of our way to visit again. Overall: decent enough, but pretty average across the board.

This, for us is a special occasion place, simply because of the prices, but WORTH IT.

It was decently busy for a Wednesday night but there was plenty of bar seating. The decor is beautiful and I especially appreciated their carefully curated glass and tableware--all stunning. Our bartender, whose name I fail to remember, was excellent. She had great beer recommendations. We tried the Hefe Weissbier (my favorite, which paired perfectly with both appetizers), the Meteor Pils, and the Gaffel Kolsch. I'd recommend all of them if you're a beer drinker! The spinach dumplings are a must. They are bursting with spinach flavor and swimming in a rich brown butter sauce. We also tried the alpine dip, which comes with an enormous soft pretzel. It was okay, but the dip wasn't exactly what we were expecting. I'd probably pass on the alpine dip next time. Overall an amazing experience and I look forward to enjoying a full meal there next visit. Be advised that they pride themselves on seasonal menus so if you're eyeing a menu item, get yourself there to try it before it's gone!

When you walk in there's a bar in the center of the room and seating along the walls/area. They have draft beers, specialty cocktails, and a full bar so there's something for everyone. They have daily specials and a straightforward menu. My only complaint would be wanting a larger variety of Irish foods but I understand for a bar you want to have a smaller menu that you do well. Reading as always is fundamental. There are numerous signs but I'm also reiterating kids are not allowed past a certain hour so if you're trying to come with kids PLEASE plan accordingly. We've had the Reuben eggrolls, corned beef burger, cheeseburger, pretzels, turkey sandwich, and the pretzels for dessert. I absolutely recommend the Reuben eggrolls, corned beef sandwich, beer cheese, and the cinnamon sugar pretzels with blueberry cheesecake dip. I don't know who or how that dessert was made up, I never thought I'd like it, but I'm actually obsessed with it. I will continue to be back to try more foods
