It's been a while since I last visited this restaurant. I was drooling with the expectation of what…read moreI remembered, and it just wasn't there. The pork tostado didn't have any pork; it was just sauce, beans, and a light sprinkle of lettuce, with one tomato and cheese semi-melted, accompanied by a pickle jalapeno pepper. The flavor was there, but there was no meat! The soft taco was good, but could have been better. In this day and age, many businesses are not asking for cash only; at the very least, consider having an ATM on site. I had to take an unnecessary detour to find the ATM. Sorry, I will have to savor the memories.

Now... it must have been passed down to next generations. It's a mess of tomatoes and too soft pork wrapped in a tortilla. Not good! Would not recommend this place. It was always a hole in the wall with good food. Now it is a hole in the wall and that all.

Estella's Cantina is the newest food addition to Lake Street in Gary's Miller Beach. We stopped in…read morefor dinner before attending an open house at the Miller Beach Arts and Creative District which is right across the street. Estella's was fantastic. First, the service was top class. Our server was attentive and really did a great job engaging with our kids. According to Estella's website: Indulge in our authentic made-to-order tacos and sip on traditional Mexican classic cocktails and craft tequilas. The tacos are definitely the star of the show on the food menu. Thumbs up all around from our kids. Two of them had steak tacos and the other two had chicken tacos. My wife and I split the nachos with chicken added and they were equally delicious. Also a shout out for their chips and salsa. They are a la carte, but the chips are made to order and were some of the best nacho chips we've had in the area. Estella's won us over for sure. We'll be back!

Love this local spot. My fave is the nopales and black bean tacos, and their pico and chips.read more

Nothing sounded good to the Mrs until I mentioned Mexican food and El Charrito. Boom! Instant winner! We got Quesabirria Dinners and a large order of chips and salsa. Delicious. When we dine in person, the service is great and when we order takeout, the food still has the same quality. You can't say that about a lot of restaurants. El Charrito is #1 in our book for quality food, service and ambience. Check them out when you're in the Portage area!

We called our order in and it was ready when we arrived. I ordered the loaded nachos; but instead of the nacho chips I got French fries. Our order also included the Fajita taco salad with chicken, 2 taco dinner (soft shell) shredded chicken and 2 Tostadas. Everyone enjoyed their meal. Overall, I give the experience 5 Stars.

I stopped in today for a beef sandwich and the sweet young lady suggested the special, 2 Beef sandwiches to your liking regular/dry/wet and choice of peppers and cheese if you please...plus a order of French fries. All this for$10!! And the beef is cooked in house! This wasn't your typical bucket of precooked slop that sooo many restaurants buy frozen . Restaurants don't cook anymore, they simply heat up pre- made frozen tasteless slop. Imagine a Beef roasting in the oven..Just how it should be made and served. Stop in and give this nice couple a try! I promise you'll be happy. I also bought a few tacos but I was so filled from the beef sandwich I didn't really try the tacos. But I think I wanna try the Ribeye steak burrito on my next visit.

We sent it back, and a minute later they returned the same quesadilla with the peppers picked off only the top half. On top of that, most of the food was cold. Honestly, it probably would've been warmer sitting in a cabinet. The server also wasn't very helpful. We asked several times for more chips and salsa and didn't get any until we asked a different server. You'd honestly be better off going to a fast-food restaurant. We spent way too much money for a really shitty meal.

My wife and I dined at Tacos Tequila tonight and honestly it was a less than acceptable. When we…read morearrived though what I believed to be the front door, there was people waiting but no sign to show if you were the front was. We did find it, put our name down and was told it was a 20 minute wait. No problem, it was Friday and the place was packed. It was exciting because that meant the food had to be great. We get seated and then.. nothing. No one comes to greet us, no one is taking our drinks. I finally had to grab someone and I told him we as well as the people next to us haven't gotten drinks. I repeated it three or so times, pointing to the other table as well. He only came out with waters for us. The other table, which was seated as we were, waited 45 minutes for drinks and had to request them twice. 10 minutes after that, I was finally able to flag someone down to put our order in. The man taking our order stood awfully close to us and it was an uncomfortable experience. But we got our food order in. I think another 20 minutes later the table next to us finally got to order after they also grabbed the waiters attention. We waited another 45 minutes for food. No one came to check on us, tell us there was a wait and apologized. I even called another server over to say hey, people are not getting taken care of. He kept ignoring me and asking me if I wanted them to check on my food. I repeated no, I want people to get service, a table that was across from us hadn't even had their order taken and they were sat 10 minutes before us! He said that the kitchen was backed up. I said that wasn't the issue, that no one was even being served until we flagged them down. He kept going back to asking if I wanted him to check on our food. I repeated no and said Nevermind. Our food finally came and we were so hopeful. I ordered the Steak Mexicans, which comes with grilled peppers, onions, tomatoes and mushrooms. No mushroom. The rice and beans had no flavor whatsoever. It was also cold. Steak was fine, it wasn't my favorite. It was very tough and I ordered it rare. My wife had the Quesabirria. There was no abundance of cheese. The meat inside was sparse and dry. The consume was meh. She couldn't get the meat to soak up any juice, it was so dry. Her whole meal was cold. It looked like maybe our food had been sat there for a while. As soon as someone came by, I asked to pay. I'm unsure if anyone else is trained on the device they used to take order and pay, but the same man was there. I had read a review that the man stood close while paying, I'm guessing in a way to put pressure on the guest for bigger tips. We got up shortly and we heard someone shocked that we were done because they for their way before us. Also, the table diagonal to us JUST ordered their food. The table that was sat 10 minutes prior. I understand this place is new and that's why it's important to say this. I saw who I thought might be the manager (he was wearing a different shirt) for a total of 15 minutes during my meal. I saw a lot of walking back and forth in a very quiet kitchen. It had no idea if we had a waiter assigned to us, or even our section. The service was terrible and no accountability was taken for how "slow the kitchen was". Based on how cold our food was, I wonder if the kitchen was pushing out food and maybe the wait staff was too overwhelmed? Overall, extremely disappointing and I am hopeful that in the next few months, things turn around and we can actually enjoy a meal, not our whole evening, at this establishment.
