I ordered three tacos ($2ea., so not bad), my son had the chicken quesadilla combo. The tacos were quite good - good flavor, corn tortillas, only onion and cilantro on top. I would have preferred a little more grilling for the tortillas. The quesadilla was quite good - piping hot, gooey Mexican cheese, and plenty of chicken. The rice and retried beans tasted authentic as well. Our meal took about 10 minutes to prepare after ordering from the friendly staff. They have one table to eat at, but it was a blistering hot day so we at in our car. We'll be back!

Nothing can replace the experience of your first adventure down that blessed alleyway, only to be greeted by a projector movie or tv show and a stationary bastion of greasy appeasement.

If it is late and your liquor is holding you, consider shying away from the devilry of Fat Shack and D.P. Dough, and let Varsity take you into its sweet, greasy arms.

Now for me I'd do just the cheese sauce and tell them to hold the rest. I had the beer brat and it was good and favorable with fries. I enjoyed the brat and with what I'm going to say is one of their brewed beers flavor I'd get it again. I'd like to see an option of a spicier brat if possible but it was still great.

The Margarita was very strong and didn't do much to counter the tequila flavor like a lot of places do. Our server seemed to avoid us for a while when we were hoping to get the check. I talked to some other people who had gone and said it wasn't very good either. I think there's a lot of potential here but I'll need to wait before coming back too soon.
