“ Great Mexican tacos (& more)! Order chips if you’re hungry! Awesome salsa bar w/many choices. We had Al Pastor (excellent), shrimp & beef cheeks (v good but rich!). Kids had ground beef & Al pastor - they are not totally “plain” but we made do. The beef has a lot of mix ins (Lima beans, potatoes, carrots etc). We would go back! (Passing through on a road trip). Apparently they are moving soon to a bigger location nearby. Cheers! ”
“ It’s not even close, this is not only the best Mexican food in Barron County, it’s the best food PERIOD in Barron County. I have tried almost everything on the menu and never had anything I wasn’t impressed with. From tacos to sopes, burritos and tortas. It’s ALL fantastic!!!! This is easily the first place I will bring people visiting from out of town. It’s a must! Everyone in there is always smiling and welcoming. The place feels alive with the art on the wall and music. The prices are very good. Around 3 a taco. You can have a few tacos for a 10 and feel full. The Al Pastor is my favorite, but they are all good. They have a salsa bar that completes everything. The habanero salsa and the avocado salsas are my go to every time. They have about 10 different salsas and toppings you can pick from. Something for everyone. For dessert, grab a tres leches cake. It finishes the meal off perfectly. Let me put this in perspective, the first time I tried it was a Friday, I went back Saturday and Sunday to get more. Don’t miss this GEM!!!! ”

“ I absolutely love this restaurant. Service is great and the food is always top notch. I love the salsa and extra bar so I can crush some fresh lime on my tamales and smother them in hot sauce. I try to go once a week. ”
“ The food here was amazing. The service was quick and the restaurant is very clean and the theme is fun. I got a tamale which was my favorite. We also got a burrito, fajita, and a large order of chips and salsa. We ended up bringing boxes home. They have a toppings salad bar, which I thought was an awesome idea. I will definitely be back. ”
