Burritos you can't go wrong with, they're very good. They also have a kids menu if you have little ones. If it's busy, be patient. And be kind.

Not in Cambridge, Minnesota, lots of floor space, but less than 10 people there, including my friend and I. The waiter came over with the menus, and I ordered a Marietta. Sorry the machine that makes them takes two hours and has another hour to go. "You do know this is Cinco de Mayo, right? No response, and he went away. After a while he came back and we ordered, I asked for the chicken taco platter. When the food arrived, they should have called it an onion taco, more onions than chicken. I tried pick them out, but it was just not good, and I left the second taco untouched, the rice and beans were just so-so, and after a couple of attempts I abandoned them, stactin the plates, and my friend did the same. The waiter returned with the bill, no conversation, and I remember thing "for what this meal cost we could have had a decent meal somewhere, and a marguetta". We left the young man a tip, I could tell he wouldn't be making much money today.

So much flavor, very generous portions, quality ingredients (aka- no gross low quality meat like some places use) . We are so lucky to have this gem of a spot in Milaca of all places. During recent political turmoil & fear, I was so impressed with how our small town community came together to support this place- I wasn't expecting that. & Tonight I came in during Cinco de Mayo & even with how crazy busy it was, everything remained stellar! Highly recommend this place to anyone, anytime, even if it's a 1 hr drive- you won't be disappointed.

El Alce food was authentic Mexican, delicious, and portions were enough to overfill us.
