It was really cold so I was hopping they had pozole which they did and they serve it everyday and I was really happy they had Menudo also, always wanted to try that but most places I go to always sell out. The pozole was very flavorful and the meat was beyond tender it melts in the mouth perfect. Trying the menudo for the first time was a good experience also, I am a fan of tripe but having so much at once not as bad but if you prefer more meaty items go to pozole. They soup bowls were about $8ish so the price is not bad especially for the Portion. Also tried the Gordita which was FAT so that was very good and also enchiladas and those are heard to mess up. Parking was easy they have there own private lot so no worries on that. The best part is they are open till 12AM so it was perfect meal before the ride home to Milwaukee. Check this place out especially for the soup!

Good prices with many selections even if you aren't into seafood including pasta and tacos. The only thing is the seafood needs to be cooked with a lil crab boil or seasoning for additional flavor on the actual crab, etc ... I had 2 bags.... 1-jumbo crab clusters (they actual look like regular snow crab) , 1lb. shrimp, 1/2 lb green mussels (beautiful size and plump), 2 regular crab clusters, and 1/2 lb crawfish. Most importantly you get corn and potatoes in your bag. A perfect amount of food even if you are not a huge eater. Great drink options also.

I thought everything was delicious, plenty of shrimp, there was enough to take home, fresh, tasty food . Melrose park has a gem. Service was very good, attentive. Some customers will have an issue with the service fee included on their bills but I thought it was worth it. Definitely worth the trip

Anyway, the lobby has really nice furniture and walked in to hear people speaking the same quick Venezuelan Spanish that mi padrastro speaks, so I figured I was in for good food! Service was friendly and the prices were quite reasonable. The empanadas were large and crispy. The filling was subtly flavored, which is very Venezuelan - NO SPICE! I was a bit disappointed with the service however. I order a pastelita and finished both empanadas needles it came out. I asked the waitress to cancel it. The food I had was good, but I don't appreciate having to cancel a dish because it's taking too long.

I used to love coming here, the tacos were fresh and delicious. No longer true, based on my visit…read moretonight. We ordered a variety of tacos, meat-wise. Steak, carnitas, chorizo, pork belly, and pastor. The tacos were consistently bad. The meats were dry, lacked juiciness, cold, and greasy. It was pretty shocking how bad the meats were. The tortillas were cold and flavorless, and their stiffness made the tacos difficult to swallow. The drinks were overly sugary. The rice and beans that accompanied the tacos were cold and bland. Just everything was awful. And, to top it off, I encountered a crawler of some kind on my way to the cashier to pay my bill. I stomped on the bug, but it just left a bad taste on an already awful dining experience. Stay away, there are far better places to get your taco fix.

Authentic Mexican Flavors with an Elevated Twist Melrose…read morePark just got a vibrant new addition to its dining scene with the opening of Margaritas Mexican Restaurant, located at 112 N. 19th Avenue--and it's already making a bold impression. The atmosphere is welcoming with an elevated yet authentic vibe that sets the stage for a memorable meal. Chef Gualberto is clearly passionate about his craft, and it shows in every dish. I started with the signature ceviche, which was refreshing, and perfectly balanced--an ideal way to awaken the palate. The steak fajitas arrived sizzling hot and packed with flavor, while the chicken with mole sauce was a standout--tender, rich, and deeply complex, with just the right touch of spice and sweetness. The garlic shrimp entree was another highlight, perfectly cooked and full of bold, savory flavor. No visit is complete without trying one of their specialty margaritas--handcrafted, well-balanced, and a perfect complement to the bold flavors of the meal.

Upon entering, the place was dead with only one customer eating. Marcy took our order and she was not the kindest person. The food came out fresh after we waited for over 15 minutes, but was nothing special. Very greasy and lacked flavor. She was unprofessional on the phone talking to Uber Eats and it made the meal uncomfortable on top of the tacky and random marine animal decor and poor choice of music playing in the TV. Their restaurant is lacking severely in taste and hospitality. I patiently waited to request for sauces that she forgot to give and she made it seem like I was intruding and interrupting her. She looked over at our table with a rude look and was displeased to give us the ranch that is included in the combo meal. The cole slaw is shredded to pieces and has no bite, the catfish was undercooked and too soft, the shrimps still had shells under the batter, and the chicken wings were small. Everything was extremely oily. They are charging extra for hot sauce, but it literally is just Louisiana hot sauce in a tiny dipping cup. Our total for two meals was $33. You're better off going to another chicken and seafood restaurant for a better deal and price. I was going to do a food vlog at this place, but they are not worth the time wasted to edit and spotlight.

Food selection is standard Mexican food with loads of specials. For our first visIt we opted for two tortas. My son had the carne asada torta and he suggested I rate a 4.5. I had the Milanesa de res. All I have to say is we made great choices. The food was fresh, fast and delicious. ThIs is definite new favorite. Ample parking in a small strip mall. Next to a laundromat. I told them to put a flag sign on the curb but they said the villagee did not allow it. It's up to you fellow Yelpers try it out and spread the word.
