Both burgers were very tasty and the accompanying fries were fresh and tasty. The chicken was a little on the dry side but the pesto was great. The tater tot side upgrade was a bad choice. They were overdone and pretty awful. We all opted for desert and the pies were soooo good. The lemon cloud was so refreshing and the strawberry peach was sweet and tart. The carrot cake was good but the frosting was too sweet and lacked flavor. The service was quick but the servers have a lot of tables so the waitress was not overly friendly or inviting. We felt like we were a task and not a guest. Would we go back? Yes but.....I would order differently and stick with the things that they are best at.

Okay, as a Southern California native I love authentic Mexican cooking. So whenever I go to a…read moreplace, my my signature test is to order the carnitas. But let's get into that in a minute. This place is conveniently located next to about five or six motels and hotels, so it makes for a perfect venue for a unique dinner spot. From an exterior standpoint. The place looks great, and has plenty of parking. There are a couple major potholes in the parking lot that could have been fixed but that's a small thing. On the inside, lots of wooden booths and a very festive Hispanic atmosphere. I really enjoy the sombreros hanging from the sides of the booth, as well as the paintings on the wall. From a visual standpoint. This looked like it was going to be a great meal. The waitress came and took my order. She seemed very frightened and standoffish. Now I'm a big guy. I get that, but I'm not that intimidating. But she made zero eye contact and couldn't really answer my questions that I had as her English was not that good. Regardless, I went ahead and ordered the carnitas plate and a water. The food came back pretty quick, and the plate looked appetizing, the refried beans were sort of orange which I wasn't super crazy about, but you know hey, sometimes these things happen. Happen. They were tasty. On a side note, they brought chips and salsa, the chips were fairly bland and the salsa was sort of pedestrian. Didn't really have much spice to it at all. The carnitas itself was well cooked, but had almost zero flavor to it. They smother it in onions, and that helped. But you know as well as I do that. When carnitas is cooked right, it is a mouthful of flavor. On the plate it also came with rice. The refried beans, a little spoonful of guacamole and some Pico de gallo. I ordered the flour tortillas as I wanted to make three larger tacos, which I did. To be honest, the only thing that saved the day was the hot sauce on the table. Adding that to the carnitas actually gave it some flavor and worked out pretty well. Bottom line? If I'm ever back this way again, I don't think I will be stopping here. I did not try any of the other things on the menu but the one I had was just pretty average. Your mileage may vary.

Had some time; hate McD's, etc. as it turned out, probably cheaper to eat at Los Mariachis. I believe every employee that could talk to me did talk to me...promptly...and asked what I needed or how the food was. Splendid! This was lunch, so I ordered the enchilada, Flaute, Taco combo for $9.50. Each element was perfect for an authentic Mexican restaurant! With their menu, great food and prices, it will definitely be a go to for me in the future! Alexandria, wake up! We will be back...often.

It's really nice inside, but even better was the super friendly service all around! They had the smoker outside and the special was the smoked brisket sandwich. And it was two for one beers, they even split the 'two for one' between us so we could each have just one more of our own beer choice, that was awesome. We started with nachos and agreed that they were one of the best plates of nachos that we've had in awhile. A full place of meaty and cheesy chips and plenty of toppings. Hubby had the smoked brisket sandwich and said the brisket was done very good. Our son had the Lumberjack Burger that he loved, he loves anything that has maple syrup on it! It was a big burger so he took half of it home and ate it later. I had the jalapeño popper burger, I wasn't sure if the name meant that it would have deep fried jalapeños on it and I'm so glad it didn't. My burger came out with a slice of pepper Jack cheese on it that was still cold except for the edges, but they took it back and warmed it up with a torch, actually to the point of burning the cheese, weird, but even so I loved this burger! It had slices of jalapeños and plenty of cream cheese, it was very good, (it actually didn't even need the pepper Jack cheese slice and not sure where that flavor fit in) then I asked for a side of the spicy berry sauce that they serve with the wonton appetizer and it was complete!! Highly recommend that they add this to the burger, or that you request it. Enjoy!

I've heard great things about this restaurant so I finally decided to try it out after driving by…read moreand noticing it was less busy than usual. The decor is what you'd expect from a bar restaurant establishment and the menu had less options than I was expecting. There was a band playing out back and a very active pull tan crew frequenting the atm in the dining area. Despite this events, it was still early enough that the crowd wasn't very large inside the restaurant. I order a chicken wrap from the menu and my date ordered a burger. The wrap was good, despite it being nothing like the description stated on the menu. I ordered the Buffalo chicken wrap which should have allegedly had bleu cheese crumbles, guacamole, lettuce, etc. but instead I received a wrap which seemed to be a chef salad with Buffalo sauce tossed in. There was shredded cheese and bacon crumbles among the lettuce to my surprise. The fries were over cooked and tasted as if the oil was on its last fry. Our waitress was very nice when taking our order but unfortunately we did not see her again near our table, not even for refills on our beverages, until it was time to receive our bill so we were not able to address any of our concerns. It was hard to finish my spicy Buffalo wrap without a water refill! I would give this place another chance, but it'd have to be at the request of someone else to go here. With the limited menu selection and the other mishaps I don't see myself returning on my own choice.

(except when the sun blinds you as it gets low in the sky) Need some sound absorbing materials in the ceiling so the waitress doesn't have to holler at you. Half of the menus didn't match the other half but did end having the same items. The service was great and the people great!! Fast service and people knew what they were doing. Waitress picked up on a few things without us saying anything. She was great! Definitely be back as they improve and dial things in. Prices were fair. Apps - The cheese curds and sauce were great. The chicken wings were very good per the group but messy. Just send wet wipes with the plate. They are full size chicken wings, not BW's style. Very large chickens apparently. Drinks: Northwoods Mule was very good, but Long Island Tea was burnt and not great (very light in color). Agnes (sp) Fruit Punch or whatever just tasted like alcohol. Waitress brought a 1/2 glass of juice to add to drink but it still tasted like watered down juice and alcohol. Specialty drinks should be something that are your really good at. Again, probably need some time to dial in. Fish & Chips (walleye strips) were excellent, but fries were soggy and had no flavor. Tiny coleslaw with that was juicy (not creamy) and was good, but I couldn't recognize the flavor. I didn't order the Walleye with cream sauce and mashed potatoes because of capers and am glad I did not. Another did and had to scrape the cream sauce off because the capers. Wild rice and Turkey sandwich sounded good and sweet potato fries had good flavor but undercooked. Salad bar is a nice touch, but please don't forget to fill. Also, please don't put things on far side that when reaching for end up falling into others. Diverse options on menu. Would have liked to try the PB&J burger, but the jelly flavor is "Chili", so that was a pass. Wish restaurants would give options with extreme items like that. Would like to try Swedish Meatball burger. Lingonberries maybe???

Our waitress was very kind and attentive, exactly what I want at a local diner. I did notice my coffee cup came out dirty, which was a terrible first impression. Food was a mix. The Hangover Pancake was tasty overall, though a little on the dry side and not quite as loaded with meat as the menu description makes you expect. The blueberries inside were super sweet and fresh, which gave a nice balance to the salt from the meat. The eggs were as basic as it gets (that's what I wanted). I also tried the cinnamon roll. It was just okay because the icing was hard as a rock and the roll itself came out dry and lukewarm. That said, the prices are very fair, especially for the portions, and it's the kind of place that makes you want to come back for the atmosphere and friendly service.
