    Place is overall good but the portion could have been bigger on the protein. This has been my overview with the place. Last two times I have ordered steak milanesa and chilaquiles steak and I have got so thin slice of steak. Other than that food and the place is good.

    I'm usually one to give a fair review but unfortunately I did not have a good experience from the start. I walked in and was waiting to be seated by a waitress (who was on the phone) but was skipped over an the group behind me which were seated first. When I informed the person that we were first, he stated that the lady on the phone would seat us. Then they sat us in the very back of the restaurant, when I asked for a different seat I was given a very dry excuse. Then the waitress spilt my guests beer on the table and barely made an effort to make it right. The food took forever and I immediately cancelled my food order. I felt discriminated against and there was no effort to make the situation right.

    We came here on a Taco Tuesday as we heard these were some of the best tacos in town. We were greeted politely by staff, not super busy to plenty of tables to choose from. Although we were here for tacos, I couldn't help but get a tostada -- those are really more my jam to get that crunchiness. Al pastor tacos - seasoning on the meat was great, nice salsas and fresh cilantro and white onions - fresh, memorable, and delicious. Tostada ceviche - more muted in flavor, but nothing some hot sauce couldn't fix. Ceviche in itself it really wet with the fish and lemon juice, but it broke apart pretty quickly. I will try another tostada in the future - perhaps the chorizo!

    Dos Equis.  Beer from the tap flat and warm ... wasn't great.

    Ambiance was nice, service ok, food was very good but there were no accoutrements- no hot sauce, no ketchup for fries.... they barely gave a half a teaspoon of sour cream for the fajitas. Like none. The beer was flat and warm from the tap. Would stick to margaritas. Overall just ok.

    Molcajete

    I visited this place for the first time and I was impressed. I ordered the molcajete which is grilled steak, grilled chicken, shrimp, cactus, chives, topped with slices of queso fresco served with a side of rice, refried beans, lettuce, pico de gallo, guacamole, sour cream and tortillas. To drink I ordered the strawberry margarita made with Casamigos. The margarita and the molcajete were really good. The chips and red salsa were good as well. One of the best salsas I've had.

    Came on very busy Cinco de Mayo. There was live music and dancing - very fun. We stood by the bar and had a few drinks. Good service and good food. My only complaint is a few of our orders were incorrect but would return.

    Fajita Salad w/ steak

    By far one of the best Mexican restaurants I've been too in a LONG time. This gem is in the downtown area and is a MUST if you're craving some authentic Mexican style food. We sat down right away outside and were given fresh chips with mild and hot salsa. Chips were freshly fried and guacamole was made at your table. I got the steak fajita salad which was out of this world. From the guac to pico de gallo, all are fresh ingredients making the dish so much better. Also got some tacos and the cheese quesadilla and both were amazing. For dessert we got the fried ice cream, it looked so good I forgot to take a picture! This was my first time going to Compadres and certainly won't be the last. They have a 6 page menu so the options are literally endless. Every item we ordered was perfect and delicious, I'm glad we stumbled upon this place and highly recommend it!!

    Hot Pork Tamale

    At first this place didn't even look like a restaurant. Don't let the outsides and location intimidate you. The restaurant was behind the bar section and the place actually turned out to be pretty large. For dinner, we tried something different for a change. We started with hot pork tomalleys and cheese queso which was really awesome. My lady friend got the beef enchiladas and I ordered the beef chimichanga. The entrees were perfect and they came out super fast. Some of the seasonings within the meats could have had more bolder cumin flavors. However, I can't complain! Both of these entrees were served with side salad, pico de Gallo, guacamole, and referendum beans with rice. Really good sized portions for the price. To finish, we had Rum Chat-a and Flan. Their Fla to die for. The perfect consistency. They got it just right!

    Molcahete!

    Found this basic looking bar in Galena. Gold Room is a small place with a bar and a few tables and…read morenot much else to be honest. They have a couple TVs so you can watch games or whatever. A lot of the basic beverages. There's beers on tap as well as mixers. Chill place when nothing is going on around. It's also not that crowded when other places are full. The only thing on the menu here is alcoholic beverages which is a good thing. All one needs to have fun. It's about $6 for a basic cocktail like whiskey mixed with Coke or whatever. Can also bring things in. There's a lot of close by restaurants. Got the basic drinks like beer and cheap cocktails. It's open later than most places around here. They have grill in the name but no food so eat before or bring in something from wherever.

    Super towny bar. It's the kind of bar where the regulars not only give you the long side eye, but…read morethe bartender won't directly address you until it's established that you "fit in." (In this case, have cash ready to go and don't order some ridiculous cocktail. Stick to beer and shots and you're golden). After that the bartender was pretty fantastic. Cash only. It was absolutely packed. a Completely SRO and it's not a small place. The bar is quite long and there are a few tables here and there. Prices were really cheap. They had Touchtunes but it was so hopping that after an hour, not one of our songs had played yet.

    Decided to try a new place for fish fry tonight…read more To be fair it was really busy. However, the service was not very good. After sitting for a bit we got drinks at the bar, and the bartender gave us some menus and took our order. Later this caused some confusion when we had to pay our tab. When it finally arrived, the breaded Walleye (offered twice a month) was quite good. Although we were not provided tartar sauce, a neighboring table kindly loaned us theirs. The fish was served in a basket with waxed paper lining and it was virtually impossible not to get a mouthful of paper while cutting the breaded fish or baked potato. As a result, we both had a little extra 'fiber' with our meal. The rest of the food was OK, but nothing special. While we don't really expect much in terms of 'ambience' from a bar fish fry, it was incredibly noisy (due in part to the pool table in the middle of the dining area), and we also were not expecting to be looking directly into a messy toilet/bathroom during our meal. (Picture of our 'view' is attached) So, overall not great - despite some very tasty fish.

    A good spot for a sandwich and a few cold ones. There is a…read morereasonable selection of draft beer from cheap lawn mower beer to an import and local small brewery. Prices are good and there are daily lunch plus evening food specials. The bar staff is friendly, attentive and good at what they do. The food is really quite good with fresh burger and crinkle cut fries. My favorites. R-Bar is definitely on my list of regular joints to stop at for a quick sandwich and a couple of beers. Cheers!
