Chips and salsa. Very good!
Shaun E.

Excellent service tucked on the side of the highway here on 27th street. Love their crispy warm tortilla freshly made chips. Their specials are delicious and fresh. Food arrives in a blink of an eye fast. If you want something good something budget friendly, this is the place to come if you're craving Mexican food.

Best chips in town, house made.  Solid margs.
Mike L.

Respectable Mexican dinners in a small family restaurant. Ingredients were fresh, tacos delicious, enchilada sauce excellent. My expectations were low for Mexican cuisine in Wisconsin but this little diner got the job done and was pretty solid (and we are both California guys who eat lots of Mexican food). The chips were delicious, hot, and fresh, though I prefer a bowl of salsa, not squeeze bottles. Margaritas were hand made and nicely done. Service was fast and friendly at the bar.

My friends and coworkers have been telling me about this little hole in the wall Mexican Restaurant with raving reviews. We usually dont get out that far south but today we had a Dr appointment at Drexel Square and decided to check it out. Very charming and cozy, there is probably only around 5 booths and 4 tables. You seat yourself and our server was right on top of it with chips and waters. I was warned about the huge portions so me and my hubby chose the 3 meat (steak, chicken, and shrimp) fajitas and shared. Food came out quickly and was sizzling hot. We ordered an extra set of tortillas, corn for hubby and flour for me. It was amazing, but the chips and salsas are the star of the show here. Served hot and fresh. Salsas were good, they had a red that had a little bite to it, and the green which is a little milder and my favorite. Like I said, portions re huge. We both ate and took enough home for 2 more meals. There was no plate sharing charge

Drink Menu

Wait was about 25 minutes on a Friday night (6:30). You can wait inside, or if it's too busy, wait at a table outside and they'll call you when there's a table. Food was great! 10/10. Chips are brought out hot right when you sit down, with red and green salsa. The salsas are good, decently spicy, and if you order the guacamole it's great, but expensive. Chips had some sort of seasoning on them, tastes salty and tangy. Drinks came out fast. Food was about a 25 minute wait for 4 people great variety of food, service was amazing even though it was so busy. The vibe is great, there's a claw machine if you go with kids, and 3 lottery machines.

This was the new restaurant of the week and a bookmark that I checked off. The place is obviously a…read morerepurposed restaurant because it was two dining rooms with a bar and a fire place in the smaller dining room. The colors were tame and not all the bright colors like some Mexican restaurants. The tables and chairs were out of place because they had a country look to them. My server was super friendly and very nice for a very young woman. I was served chips and salsa while waiting for my strawberry margarita. The chips were warm and fresh but not seasoned. The salsa looked horrible because it was a purée but to my surprise it was the most flavorful part of my lunch with a nice garlic flavor. The strawberry margarita was above average because it had booze in it and a deep strawberry flavor that screamed strawberry, thank you. With only my order in the kitchen my food came very quick, the place was empty. I ordered the combination plate with a first for me, chicken in Mexican food for some reason. I had a ground beef taco, chicken enchilada and al pastor tostada with rice/beans. Although the food was good it was Americanized, bland and not seasoned. All the meats were moist I must say. I got the impression that they were cooking for the elderly population in Muskego. Overall if authentic Mexican food is not what your looking for and tame Americanized is your preference than this is the place for you.

Don't sleep on this place! The food is great, service is fast and the staff are super friendly…read more There's a lot of options on the menu to cover breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert. The fresh salsa and warm chips are a great starter, but I also suggest the fresh guacamole! The interior has been freshened up a bit, and offers ample seating in two dining rooms. There's a bar up front as well. The restaurant is always clean inside and out, as are the restrooms. There's a generous amount of parking and easy access off of Janesville Road. I'm a big fan. For the past several months I've been able to try a variety of dishes and have yet to be disappointed. Meat options are chicken, beef and pork. My money is on the pork every time. It's cooked so perfectly with a little bit of char... perfect! I wish I could recommend a specific dish, but so far I've loved everything equally. Please, stop on in for some delicious and authentic Mexican food!

Tortillas were crispy and fried to perfection. The consommé was delicious, had me drinking it straight out the cup and was well seasoned, hot, and was in its own something to right about. The red and green salsas were also good. Red having a bit of kick, green was flavorful. I will say that I wish one of them had more heat to it but the acidity and flavors were great. The beef itself was so flavorful and tender, well seasoned, not to mention had the perfect amount in each item. Also, Onions and peppers on the side were cooked great and had me going back for more each time. Also, get the horchata, it was spectacular. This place is small but decorated to really feel like the owners, workers, really care and take pride in the establishment. It had a great ambiance that was full of people on a rainy lunch hour, and I can see why. As a person who works in the industry as a cook, the kitchen, which you can see when you order is neat, clean, and truly has the right feel of 'they know what they're doing and they're doing it well'. 5 stars, will be talking about this meal for a long time and spreading the recommendation to as many people as I can.

Their chicharron tacos in green salsa taste just like mom made them, and all their meats have a flavor you have to hunt down and go through 5-10 different spots to find them in other cities. Service is friendly, and the establishment is what you want a good Mexican restaurant to look like. The TV playing '90s Mexican music videos was a nice bonus. This is the best Mexican food in Milwaukee, the closest thing to it, and probably still falling short would be Atotonilco in Chicago. Don't overdo the brats, and head on over here for delicious and authentic Mexican food.
