What a great taco spot! This is a small shop located on Fulton Street in Wausau. I never even knew…read moreit was there. It's a small shop with a large window. When you walk in there are some tables, and a second room with more tables, and an area to grab drinks. The first room has the register in the back and you can see the kitchen area as well. I was a little confused upon arrival. We were seated, and he brought waters. They had the drinks in the next room and if you want one you are supposed to just go up and grab some. I only knew this when some regular's came in. The server is quiet which I didn't mind, but I can see how others wouldn't be as happy. I really enjoyed their authentic style tacos which have corn tortilla, cilantro, onions, and your choice of protein. You really cant go wrong with any of the food here. Its true to what it is.

We didn't have or need a reservation and were seated right away. There were maybe 5 other tables occupied and a few people seated at the bar. We were promptly brought free chips and salsa. Our server was friendly and took our order rather quickly. I got a margarita to drink. Sadly it wasn't great. I could definitely tell it was just rail tequila and pre-made margarita mix. We waited for quite awhile for our appetizer (the chorizo queso dip) and eventually when our entrees arrived realized that it was forgotten. Our server was kind and brought the appetizer out after we reminded her about it. Our food was very average. I had a tamale which was pretty dry and a very average taco. My husband said his tacos were very mehhhh as well. The best thing was honestly the chorizo queso dip which we did eventually get!

Chips and salsa were delivered to the table, the chips were cold and weren't fresh. Salsa was excellent. I ordered the shrimp tacos and others at my table ordered tacos as well in varying flavors. The waitress came back to explain they were out of a certain kind of tortilla. She then asked the 3 individuals at my table, how many tacos they wanted (in Spanish) but never asked me. When my basket of food was delivered, I only got two tacos. The menu stated three. It took a while to get our bill before we could leave. The meat was too salty in the tacos and my guests had a hard time finishing their tacos as well. They agreed it wasn't the best, nor freshest food they've had.

My husband, MIL and I went here to eat recently. We have never been here before and figured we…read morewould try it out. That was a huge mistake on our part. For three people it was $105 for terrible food. My ground beef chimichanga was so greasy it was running all over the plate. It wasn't fresh at all and tasted old and nasty. The mexican rice was a joke. It had an overwhelming taste of tomato paste and a weird seasoning blend. It was not a true mexican rice. I ate very little of my food and threw in the garbage when I got home. The two burgers were supposed to be cooked medium they were burnt black. The only highlight was the french fries and drinks. The rest was complete garbage and would have been better off buying frozen chimichangas and cooking them. That would have been at least edible. We will never come back and feel ripped off with the slop they serve.

Heidi really takes honor in serving some kickass food here. Things to know: - it's a supper club type vibe, the food takes awhile specifically if you order Mexican... but that's because it's made fresh - you can bring kids but there isn't much here to entertain them. - the drinks are amazing, anything from a whiskey sweet old fashioned to a blended raspberry margarita will be just what you ask for, perfect - Chimichangas are their go to menu item, but don't shy away from their amazing steaks or their fish fry(no one believes me when I say their fish fry is amazing, you have to try it!) There's nothing really that bad to say about Chicos, from the bartenders like Chris, to the amazing servers like Joe and Lori will take care of you.
