    First time coming to el Sarape and the food was delicious! Service was attentive enough and she kept our drinks full without us asking which is always something I keep my eyes open for when rating service. Ambiance was interesting as they brought the outside to the inside with huts and an outdoorsy feel.

    Luke warm tasteless tortilla soup served with a baby spoon.

    I ordered a bowl of tortilla soup for lunch. It was luke warm and tasteless. They served the bowl of soup with the tiniest spoon. It was literally baby size. I had to ask the waitress to heat up my soup and bring me an adult sized spoon. She brought a teaspoon and a tablespoon, which was fine. All 3 of us at our table ordered the same thing and we all received these tiny spoons. It was probably the worst tortilla soup I've ever tried. I didn't even eat 1/4 of it. Also, this place is overpriced and has no a la cart. If you want one taco. You can't get that. You have to order the whole $16 plate of 3 tacos rice beans. Yuck.

    Fast and friendly service paired with great food. This was my first time at El Sarape and my waitress was super nice. I ordered and ate in about 30 minutes. There was no rush to leave but if you are on a time crunch I think this would be a great option. The steak had a nice flavor and will definitely be back.

    The food was good. Nothing super about it. Just good. I would return but in all honesty the food is just good. I guess when I eat Mexican there is usually way more flavor. There wasn't, it was ... just good. The restaurant is clean and the servers were attentive.

    Good stuff here. Service very good. $5 margaritas the night I was there worth the visit. I had a real good carne asade, chips and salsa good also. Will go back.

    Best Mexican Food In Kenosha! Without a doubt. My family and I moved from Los Angeles to Kenosha so our Mexican Food criteria is pretty spoiled and this is the only place in Kenosha so far that holds up to that socal Mexican food quality. After eating at the dissapointing and wildly over rated La Fogata and leaving with the most "meh" feeling I've had in a restaurant in Kenosha so far this place was a blast. Excellent margaritas. Their steak is sensational. The vibe is awesome. Nice and big with lots of seating. Highly recommens

    Al Pastor tacos yummm

    Food is always very good! We have been going here for years and always very happy with food and service! Our go to Mexican date night!

    Don't walk run to El Sarape. The best Mexican in Kenosha. The pork tacos are the best I've ever had. 11/10.

I was wrong! Heather the bartender was fantastic! She was so sweet and funny. There were 3 of us and she saw we were looking at 2 Kenosha magazines so she brought another so we could all have one. Sharp move. The bottom line is Heather created tasty martinis, was super fun and Martini Monday is a great value!

Dining is also a delight. A nice menu offers a variety of entrees and appetizers, German and American fare. Seafood is also very well prepared. Friendly waitstaff work hard and are very efficient. Water is refilled constantly. We had a schnitzel, scallops, house salad, and one awesome spinach salad topped by a perfect Strawberry Schaum Torte dessert on a recent busy Saturday. Can't wait to revisit to House of Gerhard when we return to Kenosha County.

    Tuscany Bistro: Nice on Paper, Unwelcome When It Counts…read more Tuscany Bistro carries itself well; white linens, polished service staff, the kind of presentation that signals you're somewhere a step above the usual. In Kenosha, it's the closest thing we have to proper fine dining Italian. That promise matters, especially when you're hosting important guests. Tonight, I brought two key suppliers, one from Portland, one from India with twelve years in Paris and a refined palate. They'd both flown in to see me, and I wanted them to feel welcomed and valued in my hometown. Our server deserves credit; he was attentive, knowledgeable, genuinely good at his craft. The wine came promptly. So did our meals. But the moment the food landed, cracks appeared. My Portland colleague got lasagna that tasted solid but looked like it had been scooped onto the plate without thought. My filet mignon was genuinely good, but the potatoes came out overcooked and tough on the outside, their skins inedible. The greens were bland, underseasoned. The salad earlier had been forgettable, not even average. Then, at eight forty, the real problem started. The staff began clearing tables loudly. Within minutes, they were yelling across the dining room to each other. At nine o'clock sharp, the lights came completely up and the music shut off entirely. Staff voices got louder: "goodnight, bye" echoing repeatedly, clearly meant as a signal. At nine twenty, the manager appeared and essentially told us they were closed. Here's what makes this worse: they don't close until nine thirty. That's their published closing time on a weeknight. We had a seven forty-five reservation. They gave us forty-five minutes of dinner service before treating us like we'd overstayed our welcome. You don't do that in a restaurant of this caliber. You don't do it when guests are still dining. You absolutely don't do it during a business meeting where first impressions matter. Our server was clearly caught between his training and a directive from above; he never even offered dessert or another round of wine, he just brought the check. The food had potential. The service was undermined by poor management. But the message was clear: your reservation time doesn't matter once their clock hits nine. Tuscany Bistro wants to feel upscale. It needs to act like it.
