The booth we were seated at was comfortable. We were given complimentary chips and two different salsas. One salsa was red and thick. The other salsa was white and more of a thin liquid. All of it was great. It was all even better with salt and pepper. We even got another complimentary red salsa and chips. I tried them the same way and they were way better for some reason. From the House Blend Margaritas section, we ordered a Small Frozen Original Lime for 7.99 and a Small On The Rocks Original Lime for 7.99. The Frozen was hard to drink at first with it being so cold. The salt and lime on the rim helped. I enjoyed this drink, but it was definitely better after it melted a bit. The On The Rocks was fantastic! The salt and lime on the rim amplified the flavor. From the Beverages section, Pepsi Products were 3.50. I went with a Diet Pepsi. It was tasty and so was the free refill. From the Burritos section, I ordered the Burrito De Carne Asada. It was 7oz of steak burrito served with rice & beans. Topped with red sauce, cheese sauce, lettuce, pico de gallo, & sour cream. It was 14.99. I was surprised how fast it came out. The size was fair for the price it was. The steak overflowed out of the burrito after the first cut. This thing was full of flavor. The rice & beans were decent. I was pleased with the whole ensemble. The service started off great and then became spotty. It ended up picking up towards the end and finished off strong. Overall, I'm glad I stopped here to try it out. Everything was tasty and worth what I paid. I would probably come back again. Date of visit: 08/21/2024

Of course there was a Taco Bell close to the exit from I-90, but that wasn't going to cut it. So, we found El Alegre about two miles into town. The place was packed Well, we had a very good meal with happy service. A big sign on the wall in the kitchen said "work hard and be nice to people ". Gotta love that. So we were coming South on I-90 and remembered El Alegre. Being vegetarian, I usually find plenty of options in a Mexican restaurant (and also Chinese and Italian). This menu had a vegetarian section with about six or seven choices, but I looked over the rest of the very large menu and found several versions of Chile Relleño. I've never seen anything but the one stuffed with cheese anywhere else. Well, they had a version stuffed with vegetables! I had to try it. I am so glad I did. It was delicious and a very generous portion served with rice and beans that rose above the standard usually experienced. My wife had a shrimp dish that I sampled and loved. She said the margaritas were also excellent. So, if you find yourself on I-90, you won't regret driving a couple miles off the highway to find El Alegre!

The ribeye was mouthwateringly delicious, perfectly cooked, juicy, well seasoned, and full of flavor! The grilled shrimp had the most incredible seasoning and grilled to perfection! My husband kept on talking about Aranda's nonstop so we went and dined in person at Aranda's in Deforest, WI! When we first walked in, I loved the bright colored festive walls, showcasing beautiful Mexican art/heritage and a mini festive bar with my favorite: a great tequila selection for all the tequila fans!!! The place was super packed for a weeknight/Wednesday evening! We were greeted with delicious complimentary tortilla chips and salsa which started our night off right! Aranda's has a large Tex Mex menu with a variety of authentic traditional Mexican menu items as well as a few more Americanized take on popular Mexican dishes! They offer many delicious menu items everything from nachos, street tacos, fajitas, chimichangas, ribeye steaks, hamburgers, seafood options, a kid's menu, and much more! Plus, they even have churros and fried ice cream if you have a sweet tooth! Aranda's has the best margaritas when you are a craving a delicious drink! They even have a great selection of top shelf superior tequila. Be aware the margaritas are pretty huge and the large size is actually humongous! I really enjoyed my spicy jalepeno maragita! My husband ordered the ribeye steak and shrimp that comes with a side of delicious cheese sauce and fries while I ordered the Aranda's special which is the ribeye with shrimp, topped with an onion blossom, grilled shrimp, and pico de gallo. My husband and I had so much fun dining at Aranda's. Everything we ordered was very delicious! We also received great service! Aranda's is a great place to visit if you are looking for satisfying margaritas, delicious Mexican food, fun/festive vibes, in a casual dining setting that is a fun place to dine with friends, family, and even fun for the kids! Aranda's is definitely worth trying!

On my way back from the dells and I search of Mexican food, my friend and I stumbled upon Las Milpas located at the back of the Mexican store. They have a vast menu to choose from and you'll be sure to find something you are craving. We ordered chips and guacamole, street tacos and a burrito. Prices are reasonable especially given the portion sizes. The chips came with a side of salads too. It tasted like a roasted salsa or almost marinara like. The guacamole and salsa had a little bit of a warm kick. I opted for the pork burrito. It was pretty good but I wish I'd paid a little more for the carnitas. I prefer the shredded pork vs cubes. Would absolutely go back.

A dive bar in the middle of nowhere with delicious Mexican food and cold beer that isn't crowded and over priced like so many places in Madison? I have died and gone to heaven. From the salsa and guacamole to the entrees of Chicken Mole and burrito - this is the real deal. This is epic, divorce causing type of food. My wife has already warned me and I am already planning my next visit. This is a classic Wisconsin dive bar, where the restroom sink is in the main dining room, and it looks like you have stepped back a few decades - but that is part of the charm, and the food makes any misgivings about the ambiance entirely worth it. Normally I wouldn't reveal such a secret and mystical place, but it's location ensures the normal Madison food crowd has to take a real hike to find it, and it won't be overrun. Get there. Get there fast.
