Friends and family have been eating here at least once a week for years. New owner/chef Felipe has made many noticeable menu improvements and food is better than ever. Homemade salsa is chunky and flavorful and chicken/beef marinades are super tasty.
Looking forward to building renovations - larger outdoor patio and expanded bar coming soon. Reasonable prices and large portions too. Great job!
I usually rate a Mexican style restaurant based on their salsa and margaritas. Both are perfection here. Generous portions and excellent value for the price. The atmosphere is diner friendly. The music isn't too loud and the staff is friendly.
I really liked the Baja tacos!! friendly, family-owned place. The cook came out to see me enjoy my tacos. My son who doesn't care for fish enjoyed them too. But he recommends their street tacos. And their salsa--perfect. I'm a lightweight so I get happy when the salsa isn't too spicy.
Delicious food, great for groups and tapas (small plates). The service was okay, not amazing, but certainly nothing bad. Clean fun atmosphere.
Food was so good the service is also as good as the food. Will definitely come back again.
We had to wait a long time for service. They weren't busy but said that they were short staffed. I'm not sure what was wrong with the margaritas but they didn't taste right.
I did like the quesabirria and would go back for them, if they had a decent margarita.
Nicely remodeled decor. Slow inaccurate order. 2 dishes came a slow but reasonable time. One of them had a mistake. The 3rd came after another wait and it was wrong. They took it back and in a little while it came back unchanged. They took it a 3rd time and after awhile it came back correct. Too bad. We liked this place previously. My wife hated her salad.
They are working to improve the building and atmosphere of the restaurant which is already cute and clean. Food was pretty good, but took a long time to come out, and it came out in spurts. Service was slow, they weren't super busy for a Saturday night, but they seemed short staffed. Everyone was friendly, and we will try it again.
Great place. Delicious fresh donuts. Mouthwatering ice cream. Friendly staff. There are tables available inside. No restrooms though. They have the best apple turnover! Great cider, too.
Fun party structure for the kids. The pavilion is great for party rentals. Well maintained fields for softball and soccer, a little wet/muddy in the grass depending on the time of year.
Delicious, flavorful and always fresh! Our favorite dishes are the Eggplant Parmesan and Chicken Marsala. They are so accommodating too. I prefer to substitute vegetables instead of pasta with the Eggplant. The veggies vary and are always amazing! We
Everything was great with our recent visit here, the service was really good and the food was fantastic. One of the steaks was slightly undercooked more of a rare than medium rare, but was flavored so well and so tender it didn't even taste like it.
I took my Mom and a couple siblings out to eat and this was our first time here. The food was delicious! The staff was nice. The atmosphere was good. Overall I recommend this place. I wish it was closer cause I'd visit weekly! The crab rangoon was so
Amazing hand-tossed pizza.
1 Deep dish Chicago Style Spinach, Italian Sausage, Ham, and Pepperoni.

Fantastic flavor, easy online ordering. I am inspired by these flavors. Love Chicago Broth
First time here and there were 8 of us for Friday dinner. Made a reservation and we were seated immediately for our 5:30 time. Loved the atmosphere...very upbeat and an industrial feel to the place. The food was delicious for all of us. The walleye m
