    El Molcajelete

    This place was a great experience. Our server was the best. Very attentive and helpful with food and drink choices. The music was great and the decor was spot on. I ordered the Quesadilla Ranchero which was delicious and to drink I got a El Matador. The drink hit the spot and quite strong. 10/10 on that. My sister got El Molcajelete which looked pretty appetizing and to drink she got a Purple Patron Marg. Both drinks were made to perfection. You should definitely go and try it out. 10/10 all around.

    New Mexican Restaurant Alert- El Asadero! Checked out the restaurant with co-workers and loved the ambiance, it's very bright and colorful! They offer a great lunch menu very reasonably priced. The service was good, the messed up one order provided chicken instead of ground beef, however they were able to do a quick turnaround to replace it. Would love to go back and try their drinks! They had a lot of fun options that included sparklers. Other tables order it and it looked so cool however it did have a strong smell that lingered. Overall for the entire experience giving 3/5 stars still would say go check them out!! Cheers

    Wow!! What an amazing experience! We walked in and the restaurant was super busy- a very good sign!! Their drink menu is INSANE! Pages and pages of fun drinks!!! Every margarita you can imagine! The food menus is massive- so many choices! They offer non-Mexican food items as well, such as steaks, pasta, an insane amount of seafood options. The food was really good!! I got the chimichangas and my husband got a BACON wrapped burrito. It was huge! He could only eat half and usually he can easily eat an entire burrito! We also shared a rainbow margarita!! The service was really great as well! Roman & Brayan did an amazing job! But then.....something wild and crazy happened...A HUGE 8 foot dancing robot came out and they turned up the music!! That was literally the most fun I've had at a restaurant in a VERY long time!!!! The robot comes out Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights!!! 10 stars- will be back very soon!!

    I've eaten here several times now. Great experience each time. I particularly enjoy the seafood micheladas and the fresh guacamole cart.

    Pulling into the packed parking lot on a football Sunday, we were already discussing our backup…read moreplan if the wait was too long. Turns out the entire heated patio is first come, first served, and we were seated almost immediately. It was one of those windy Indiana afternoons where the cold finds every gap in your jacket. I fully expected to spend lunch shivering. Somehow, the heated patio felt warmer than the restaurant itself. Between the TVs, football on every screen, and the patio heaters, we had zero complaints. Now let's talk about the famous pepperoni-stuffed breadsticks. They're a must. And order your own nacho cheese. Seriously. Don't expect anyone to share. I could eat a shoe dipped in their cheese and probably enjoy every bite. The breadsticks always arrive piping hot, stuffed with gooey mozzarella, and if we're judging on a cheese-pull scale...I'm giving them a solid 7/10 on the stretch meter. As for our server, Zach...what a true gem. He's one of those people I'd honestly be surprised to hear anyone say they didn't like. Funny, quick with the jokes, and somehow kept up with the chaos without missing a beat. He also made sure my lemon drop martinis never had a chance to get lonely. Since I wasn't driving, he happily assisted me in...staying hydrated. The place was busy enough that we couldn't stand around chatting long, but he's the kind of person you'd genuinely enjoy running into again. We've been here twice now, and both visits have been consistently great. Whether you're stopping in to catch the game, escape the cold on the heated patio, or simply satisfy a craving for those ridiculously good breadsticks, Ale Emporium continues to be one of our favorite spots. Just don't skip the breadsticks...and trust me, order your own cheese. You'll understand after the first bite.

From the moment I walked in, I was obsessed with the atmosphere and all the thoughtful details that make the space feel so unique. I love that it effortlessly transforms from a cozy coffee shop by day into a cocktail bar at night--the vibes are immaculate no matter when you visit. The staff was exceptional and so helpful in walking me through the menu. One of my favorite things to do is ask the baristas what they recommend, and they definitely didn't disappoint. I went with a blueberry vanilla iced latte, and it was the perfect way to kick off my Friday.

Some were quietly relaxing while others were catching up over drinks. The coffeehouse-meets-cocktail-bar aesthetic is well executed and gives the space a distinct personality. I ordered the nonalcoholic Basil Needs a Break, and it was excellent. If you like basil, this drink definitely delivers. It was bright, refreshing, and very basil-forward. The service was friendly and welcoming. My only complaint was the temperature inside. It was nearly 100 degrees outside, but the bar felt warm with very little air circulation. It was almost refreshing to step back into the muggy heat after leaving, which probably isn't the feeling you're hoping to give your guests. I'd definitely come back for the drinks and atmosphere, but I'd hope for a cooler temp next time.

I sat at the bar, and was able to catch some of the Olympics which was nice!

I enjoyed the stone ground mustard, and there was an interesting fermented pepper sort of deal on there was well which I wasn't mad at! Glad I was able to stop in!

Our server was pretty great, and up front about wait times. We went when the kitchen has a crew shortage, so there was a wait for food. For appetizers: nachos were great, but if you ordered a simple nacho, it's meh, we had to add several things and added $$ to make it REAL nachos. The dip for the pork rinds was good. The table ordered truffle fries, they finished it. It was our first time trying Upland beers. Most of the options are IPA and tart beers. None of which I like. The mixed drinks menu was meh, they offer 2 hard ciders, but one was unavailable. Our server let us try samples and she was very patient. For main dishes: I ordered a Salmon BLT. I DO NOT RECOMMEND. I didn't eat it with the bun, salmons was very thin, 1 piece of bacon, slice of tomato and 1 piece of lettuce. We had mac and cheese, DO NOT ORDER, it was floating in fat and there's no taste to it. Fish and chips was okay. The pizza was the highlight, it saved the night, I think. Bathrooms clearly labeled, easily seen, and clean. For 6 people, 2 of whom did not have alcoholic drinks (just water), our bill with tip was over $350. I would not come back here again, I had a better time and better food at other breweries.
