We just so happened to be in the Eau Claire area running an errand, and before we drove back home,…read morewe were feeling a bit peckish. We decided to check this place out for lunch since it wasn't too far from our current location. The restaurant sits in the middle of a strip mall, so parking was very easy and convenient. Inside the restaurant, a mini market selling basic Mexican ingredients and pantry goods is connected to it. Upon entering the restaurant, we were greeted promptly and picked out a table to sit at. We came during lunch time on a weekday and there was quite a bit of people in the dining area (it wasn't packed, but for a weekday lunch rush it was fairly busy). We ordered the ground beef chimichanga and beef tongue tacos. The chimichanga was fried perfectly and the ground beef was very well seasoned. It was hands down one of the best chimichangas we've ever tasted. The tacos were also delicious. The beef tongue was very tender and the salsas that came with our meal paired excellently with the tacos. I also very much enjoyed the seasoned radish that came with the tacos as an extra condiment because it gave the tacos more crunch and texture. Overall, the food was excellent. Service was fast and very friendly. The dining atmosphere was casual and it reminded of the hole-in-the wall places I used to frequent during my childhood. As a California native, I approve. So far this has been the best Mexican restaurant (in the Midwest) that we've tried. Would highly recommend checking this place out if you are in the area.

Well judging from my Yelp list for 4-5 star restaurants this was the only Authentic Mexican place…read more It's in the back of a Mexican Grocer, so it was quite a surprise! They are a full-service dine-in restaurant, as opposed to a taqueria that we were expected based on the photos. But at the end of the day, it does amount to an insanely overpriced taqueria. $4 tacos when we're used to paying $2.50-3 in Minneapolis, and alambre for $14.99 when we're used to paying $8.99. A bottle of Jarritos is $2.50. Service is glacial, but very attentive and thorough. You do get free chips and salsa. We got Alambre with al Pastor (this choice was not on the menu, they were great. It's a different style than we're used to, skipping the pineapple and ham, but they were very good. The Al Pastor was very legit. This Alambre came with 4 tortillas, and being that we usually share Alambre, we order a pack of 4 extra for an extra $1.50. The kids quesadilla meal was an insane deal. The quesadilla was adult size, and it came with a full side of beans, a side salad, and a whole order of fries. Our total bill with tax and tip came to just under $30. All in all to find this place while being in Eau Claire was a win. If as in the Twin Cities I would have given four stars, losing a star for insane prices. But they seem to be the only authentic Mexican spot around. Due to the big portions, we had leftovers to boot. So if you're hankering for real Mexican and don't want the typical hamburger/pub joints, or the fake Mexican food, this is your stop.

Ordered two baja blasts in house (which means they only have to grab two cups and give them to me)…read more It took twenty minutes for them to get two cups out to me. I literally heard a lady in the back yell at a coworker telling them "Can you get this order, it's only two baja blasts." Yes, there was a lot of people in the drive thru, and some people inside, but it doesn't excuse this behavior. Someone also went to the bathroom in the middle of all of this, and they didn't run to the bathroom, so I know it wasn't a do or die situation (I would know, I've thrown up at work in the middle of a rush and barley made it to the bathroom in time). By the time I got my two cups three people had been through the drive thru, and it probably took me less than 30 seconds to fill up my baja blasts.
