The beef, whether in a chimichanga or a taco or a burrito, is amazingly good! Also amazingly good is the fried cod, which can be had in a taco. The complimentary chips and salsa are very, very tasty! The atmosphere is very nice thanks to low-volume music and dimmed, red-tinted lighting in the dining room. The staff is wonderfully accommodating and pleasant. Drink specials on Wednesday and Thursday are top-notch! And I have yet to mention the Mexican rice, which is delectable!!! Thank goodness this isn't a traditional Mexican restaurant, serving traditional Mexican fare; the Los Banditos menu is a fantastic offering of improved-upon Tex-Mex dishes!!! You'll love it here! read more

Chicken was not seasoned at all. And why did my two tacos come in a wicker basket. Guacamole and salsa were good so that helped with the taste. Service sucked a lot of staff walking around, looked like one or two servers Ambience was OK but definitely still the same way it was years ago when I used to go there . read more

Los Banditos - Two Tacos - Mexican Near Me - Green Bay, Wisconsin

My sister and I were in Green Bay for a short time and ended up having dinner at Los Banditos. Seemed to be a pretty typical sit down Mexican restaurant with quite a decent selection of items on the menu. They do offer complimentary chips and salsa, which I don't know that many restaurants continue with anymore, so that was definitely nice. My sister went with the chimichanga, which looked delicious, while I went with tacos and vegetables. I liked the addition of cheese to the top of the veggies. Overall, like mentioned it's a pretty average Mexican restaurant and I would probably try it again if ever in the area again. read more

The atmosphere of this restaurant reminds me of an old fashioned diner in which you would find mobsters or the god father. It's dimly lit but feels warm. The service was good and the lady that helped up was friendly. My husband and I both ordered the tacos that were on special which were good, but nothing that made me say wow! My son ordered the chicken fingers with fries and he said they were delicious. My daughter ordered the nachos and said that the chicken was a little dry but it was ok. The chips and salsa were good and the salsa has a smoky flavor to it. Their ice tea was AMAZING!!! It was stronger than most places make it and it that wowed us. If you're looking for an authentic experience then this may not be what you're looking for. read more

Good service. Very average to below average food. All the food is sourced with the least expensive option. Very musty smelling inside.

This place has stood the test of time and remained true to itself. We first started going to the original location over 30 years ago! We have since moved so don't get a chance to come back often, but when we do we enjoy every minute. We sat at the bar and ordered a carafe of strawberry margaritas. I don't normally like sweet drinks, but these taste fresh and perfect. We love their chips and salsa. The salsa has so much flavor. For dinner, I preferred the taco special which were chipotle shrimp and hubbie ordered his favorite- the cart driver. Everything was right on point and well seasoned. The portions are generous so we had enough for the next day. We love Los Banditos and look forward to returning whenever we are in town. read more

Los Banditos - Shrimp taco special - Mexican Near Me - Green Bay, Wisconsin

The queso is terrible and gritty. thick like gravy. This is NOT an authentic Mexican restaurant. Service was good though when i asked for the queso to be sent back because it was not edible. Dark lighting. just not a good Mexican restaurant atmosphere, will not return. read more

Came here for my birthday lunch today. When we walked in we were promptly and warmly greeted. One thing I noticed right away is it smelled like they may be having issues with their plumbing, or it's the fact the flooring definitely needs to be replaced, so I was pretty grossed out right away. Lunch menu was weird. There were 3 items on it. A burrito del mar (ewww no). A nacho salad with no meat, and one, oh yes one fish taco. Just have a lunch menu every day, each day doesn't need only 3 options. We Sat for 10 minutes with no service at all. 4 other tables occupied, and only 1 had food & drinks. They were setting up a large table for a group that wasn't even there yet which I found really weird since any time I have asked if I could reserve a table for a group I'm told they don't do that. Anyway, 2 waitstaff passed us without saying anything and the 3rd person continued pouring waters and getting chips for the group that had yet to arrive. I come here for dinner quite often (and have never smelled the nasty smell in there before or I wouldn't go back) , so the night staff knows me and knows I tip well so they never ignore me. Apparently the lunch staff didn't care. I'm sure the large group came with an 18% guaranteed tip so they were getting great service even though they weren't even there yet. Even though I come here frequently (which after this visit will be changing), I don't like their salsa at all. It's more like thick chili paste mixed with water- it's just odd and not good. We opted to leave and go to chilis next door. If you want service and lunch, I suggest you do the same. Pretty embarrassing to suggest this for my birthday lunch and then have to leave, but I did have great drinks and food somewhere else. But, on a side note, when I left chili's, we drove past and it appeared some kind of tanker truck was there working on their drains so hopefully the nasty backed up plumbing stench was addressed... read more

Worst Mexican food (even American : Tex Mex) I have ever had. I was honestly in shock. The tamales were rubbery and the enchilada sauce was literally marinara sauce. The rice was soupy and wet, and my sister said it tasted like school cafeteria food. The pinto beans almost tasted like baked beans, and the chicken in the enchilada had no seasoning or flavor. The shredded beef was the only thing that tasted mildly normal... Our server was great and the pomegranate margarita was decent but overall I was so appalled at how busy this restaurant was. The queso was also a strange texture, like it was blended with flour or corn. It was thick and barely tasted like cheese. This was the strangest meal and I will now have to go pick up other food on the way home. read more

My favorite burrito in town! Get half shredded beef/half bean! Love the cumin forward salsa to boot. Best thing on the menu..... It's been my go to for yeeeears. Do it. read more

Decent Mexican fare; pleasant ambiance; friendly service. Plentiful portions. My smothered burrito was tasty, but not remarkable. The guacamole appetizer was enormous! Probably the best value on the menu. It was a little too creamy for my preference, but still tasty. I enjoyed my house margarita, especially at the Thursday happy hour pricing. read more

A local gem, loved by the community. They have the BEST MARGARITAS! Also, this is my absolute favorite place for margaritas!! If you like shrimp, get the combo fajitas. Los Banditos is a hidden gem in Green Bay! The locals know how great it is. Delicious food, fabulous service, homey atmosphere. You'll love it here!! I highly highly recommend the Strawberry margaritas & chicken & shrimp fajitas. Don't miss out!! read more

Los Banditos - Fajitas - Mexican Near Me - Green Bay, Wisconsin

Los Banditos is a Green Bay fixture. I have been going to this restaurant for decades. I have NEVER had a bad experience EVER! The CCQ is sublime! Had it for supper one night. Portabella mushroom taco is worth a try and the cart driver special is always good. Decor is typical of most Mexican restaurants, it is not loud east to carry on a conversation. Hosts are friendly and prompt in seating, servers are cheerful, knowledgeable and attentive. Always a good choice if you can't make up your mind. read more

2 stars for the service...food on the other hand...not so good. Ordered Combo #2, beef burrito, beef taco, chicken taco with beans and rice. The beef in the burrito was very salty, chicken in the 1 taco I did eat was really dry. Boxed the beef taco. The rice and beans were the best part of the plate. My wife had Conbo 2, 2 tamales, chili rejeno, and a beef taco. The food was extremely hot to eat. Said the tamales tasted ok. Haven't come here in over 10 years, and years ago the food was excellent. Gone downhill, I guess. Won't go back.... read more

Very good food. The BEST blue raspberry margaritas. The ccq is hit or miss. Sometimes it is quite runny but still very good. Kathy is one of the best waitresses anywhere. Very outgoing and knowledgeable. So far this is the best place I have found.for fajitas. The shrimp in it is very good. read more

WAYYYYYY off from all the other times I have eaten there. Waited at least 15 minutes to place and order, too many employees standing around clueless and talking about crap like fantasy football. Had the unfortunate experience of watching a male employee yell and swear at a female employee extremely loud near customers (same individual who felt the need to explain his fantasy football or whatever experience to a new struggling employee at cash register). Got home and the calamari was not the same as before, not uniform in size and some very chewy and overcooked. The tamales SUCKED!!! smothered with sauce and cheese and beans either inside or on top. Keep it simple, a tamale is a tamale, meat filling in masa. Tasted horrid. Last time I will go there and damn used to be my go to spot for business and eating Mexican. read more

I live close to this location and the quality of food has not aged well over time. The margarita was okay it was a small serving which lacked flavor. The tacos came piping hot but the steak was overcooked and grisly with really large chunks of onion. I did have to ask for hot sauce for the tacos which helped with the dry meat but could not save the meal. Salsa served was the best part of the meal it was spicy and blended well. Chips were less than good crisp but stale in flavor. I am sad this location used to be so good. I will go elsewhere for my Mexican fix. read more

Ok, I live in Milwaukee and was recommended this place. Walking into it, I smelled fake strawberry candles, weird record as if it was a supper club before turning into a "Mexican restaurant" and old 90's music playing. I thought it wouldn't be horrible until I looked at the menu, 90% of it doesn't even sound like Mexican food. The lady that took our order was rather nice but she never wrote down our order which made me worry. Once the food came out- I was concerned. The tacos I had gotten were the blandest thing I've ever eaten, I've eaten some bad food but this was just at a different level. My boyfriends fajitas were crunchy and disgusting- along with the boxed rice that came out with a melted slice of fake cheese on top- NEVER EVER GO read more

Been going here for many years. Shredded beef chimi is to die for! Best Mexican around!! You won't be disappointed.

Stopped in for a late bite to eat and was greeted by friendly staff immediately. First available table for 2 and 1/2 price Margaritas on deck! Drinks were good, our waitress rocked and our food was out lightning fast. Tacos were a success and we left smiling. C-you guys soon on our next trip across town. Cheers read more

Los Banditos - Margarita's are goooooooooood - Mexican Near Me - Green Bay, Wisconsin

Nothing to brag about. It's over priced and the food is bland. I had the burrito lunch special with rice and beans. The tortilla shell was like rubber. The rice was dried out and the beans runny. The shredded beef was poorly shredded and the whole thing obviously spent way too much time under the warming light. There's a three percent surcharge to your bill if you pay by credit card, which they don't tell you about but have a small handwritten note by the checkout. read more

Been eating at this Mexican restaurant for years and the quality, service and cost can't be beat. It's a shame that the out of towners visiting Green Bay eat at the Chili's next door not realizing what they're missing! Try the Italian Sausage Cart Driver! Can't beat it and probably won't be able to finish it! read more

Had lunch with coworkers and ordered the tacos with vegetables and it was ok. Vegetables were like the frozen bagged type which is not what I was expecting. It had carrots, broccoli, asparagus and green beans. ‍ chips and salsa were good and the service was friendly. read more

Always super tasty food and kind staff. We had a young girl McKenna, absolute rockstar. A needy table of five kept her busy, we never saw the bottom of the chip basket and never had to ask for refills. She was on top of everything!! read more

Table chips were cold and tasted of grease/oil. as for the Nacho Grande Salad, the shredded beef was extremely salty, tomatoes had absolutely no flavor, and whatever was done to the rice was not effective or tasty. It was not Mexican rice. We stood at an unattended bar waiting to order, gave up, and moved to the dining room. Again, we waited. If you're seeking Mexican food, I strongly suggest you find a alternative. read more

Tried again and TERRIBLE. This place should not be allowed to call itself a "Mexican" restaurant. Shrimp tacos have zero seasoning, they are pieces of boiled plain shrimp on a tortilla with cheddar cheese. Tostada doesn't have beans like a real tostado, ccq dip tastes like tomato sauce. Chips are stale and cold. I took one bite and left. read more

service was lacking! bartender has to serve drinks and food running between bar and kitchen we moved to dining room. we had the lunch special nacho grande salad with shredded beef, not sure where the beef was it was mostly beans just wasn't good and the forgot the tomatoes on my sisters read more

A local coveted spot in Green Bay. You are greeted with fresh chips and salsa which is always great! The ccq is legendary. Definitely not a healthy choice, but if you pair it with the portobello smothered burritos, then things are looking up! My son loves their buttered noodles that come with cheddar cheese and a warm breadstick. read more

No, no, no, no, no! Imagine yourself going to your local grocery store, picking up a packet of your favorite taco seasoning, and making your own "Mexican" style food for dinner. That's the extent of what you'd be getting here. I don't want to sound too negative, however, so I will say that the staff is very helpful and hardworking. In the mood for Mexican food? Look elsewhere. read more

It wasn't bad. It just wasn't that good either. New to the Green Bay Area, we've been searching for a good Mexican restaurant to replace the myriad of amazing options in Las Vegas, our old hometown. The restaurant is clean and offers an inside dining area, bar and outside patio seating. The menu has all your typical Mexican fare along with some sort of weird section of Italian pasta (still perplexed by that one). Our server was kind and attentive. I ordered the chicken chimichanga with rice and beans while my husband got a beef taco, chicken taco and beef chimichanga (Don't judge. He was reeeeaaaally hungry). The dinner started off with chips and salsa. The chips were cold and the salsa hot. Unfortunate. I liked the chimichanga but the refried beans had a strong, unfamiliar and sort of off-putting taste to them. The Mexican rice was really good and probably what I enjoyed the most. My husband liked the tacos but he wasn't impressed with the chimichanga. Maybe the most disappointing aspect of the entire meal was the guacamole. It was like the processed guac you buy at Walmart. It did not, in any way, shape, form or taste resemble anything made from fresh avocados. I mean...I expect generic guac from Taco Bell, not a sit down legit Mexican restaurant. The prices are reasonable and the employees were friendly, especially the hostess. I don't know- we're far from the border and good Mexican food may be hard to find out here so I can appreciate the effort and in a pinch we may give Los Banditos another whirl but until then, the search for good Mexican food in Green Bay continues... read more

good service but definitely not authentic Mexican if you ask me. nacho appetizer came with roast beef...not impressed. togo order was put on paper plates wrapped in tin foil..opened it and was mess. the basic tacos I got to go are like taco bells basic tacos. read more

Favorite place in Green Bay. Have gone here since I was a kid, and a must every time we are in town. The CCQ and bean dip are awesome! My whole family has probably tried everything on the menu and we like it all. My favorite is the bean burrito or tuna fajitas. read more

horrible place to go dirty silverware old lipstick residue on glasses and when brought to managers attention said they have a hard time cleaning lipstick off glasses ? the food was served in straw baskets that could never be washed or cleaned and our waitress was very old and very rude when I asked the table next. to us she said she was the same way that is crazy she is still working there I would never return to this place or ever recommend it to anyone read more

Stopped for dinner before a show at the Resch on a Thursday night. There was plenty of room at the bar so we ate there. The bar tenders were attentive and made sure our drinks stayed full. $3 pints of everything on Thurs was a bonus. Food was good and hot. Free chips and salsa but the chips were sort of cold and stale. That is my only complaint. read more

Los Banditos - CCQ, shredded beef taquitos, shredded pork tamales - Mexican Near Me - Green Bay, Wisconsin

Not the Los Banditos I remember...We used to dine at the Webster St. location(closed now) and thought it would be a nice memory to relive after touring the GB Botanical Gardens. 1-Guacamole had absolutely no flavor, and I thought it might be a "package mix", except it was rather brown. 2-Margarita was tiny, and NO alcohol that I could detect... 3-Chili Rellenos was tiny My husband's Ahi-Tuna tacos' looked nice, so maybe it depends on what you order, but that shouldn't be. read more

A more traditional Mexican place compared to the chain restaurants. Only had the con queso, which was different (it didn't come with chili in it for some reason), it is a huge bowl so good for sharing. It does have a velvet texture though with a unique flavor. We will be back to try w meal as they looked really good with large portions read more

Los Banditos - Mexican Near Me - Green Bay, Wisconsin

NOT THE SAME LOS! I used to eat here about 1-2 times a month before it was sold to new ownership a few years back. The new owners changed out the classic recipes and replaced fresh ingredients with frozen. Everything I have tried recently is a soggy mess and lacks flavor or tastes nothing like its supposed to. Texture and taste are like it's microwaved, which it likely is. I won't be going back. I've tried gone 3 times since the ownership changed hoping it was a fluke but nope. Id rather have Taco Bell than this. A frozen tv dinner tastes better. Green Bay has a lot of great mexican food options, try any single one of those before going to Los, unless you want lowest quality food you can find and like paying a lot for it. This is not the same Los Banditos from years ago and it's not coming back. read more
