Yelp for the win again!…read more We traveled to the Grand Geneva area with my cousin's family for a ski trip and found this gem via Yelp. Colorful and festive interior and attentive service. Menu is EXTENSIVE, and there is something for everyone. I was torn between the carnitas (which I regret not getting) and the combo plate, where you can choose 2 items and get rice and beans. It was a chicken taco and chile relleno for me, and it was a little on the salty side. The drinks were on point. I enjoyed my Mexican mule and had a couple slurps of the mango/strawberry frozen margarita, which was refreshing and dual colored. Kids' menu had plentiful choices, including quesadillas, tacos, and hot dog and fries. Enjoyable experience here. Loved the throne-like chairs. Absolutely recommend and would return when in the area!

Es bastante modesto por su ubicación y apariencia exterior, ¡pero es maravilloso por dentro! Sin duda, es un lugar familiar, y siempre es un placer apoyarlo. Hay una tienda de comestibles española justo al entrar y un restaurante mexicano al fondo. Todo se cocina fresco y tiene precios muy razonables. Pedí tres tacos de carnitas y estaban deliciosos. Los llevé para llevar y los comí al llegar a casa. Todavía estaban calientes y la salsa que me dieron para acompañar los tacos también estaba buenísima; ¡la usé toda! Creo que por tres tacos pagué 10 dólares y valieron cada centavo. Si estás en Lake Geneva y se te antoja comida mexicana sin arruinarte, sin duda te recomiendo venir aquí y descubrir uno de los secretos mejor guardados de la ciudad. i am writing this in spanish and english so whomever reads this will be able to understand my thoughts. This is a small whole in the wall type of spot. It is rather unassuming because of its location and appearance on the outside but it is wonderful inside! This is certainly a family owned and operated type of spot which is always nice to support. There is a spanish grocery right when you walk in then a mexican restaurant in the back. Everything is cooked fresh and is priced very fairly. I got three tacos de carnitas and they were delicious. I took them to go and ate them once I got home. They were still hot and the salsa they gave me to go with the tacos was awesome too I used all of it! I think for three tacos I paid 10 dollars and they were worth every penny. If you are in Lake Geneva and you are craving a mexican meal without destroying your finances I would certainly recommend coming here and discovering one of the best kept secrets here in town!

The location is unassuming along with the interior of the restaurant but trust me this will become your new favorite spot. Plus it is also a grocery store with a great selection of hot sauce and the best avocados you can get in the Midwest. Also the service is usually really quick! Pro tip: call in your order in advance.

The steak tacos seemed to be a little light on meat. Chicken taco was much better. My total order was a bit expensive. 3 tacos at $2.50 each, plus a kids quesadilla, side of rice, and 2 Mexican cokes was over $31. Would go again on a Tuesday for the taco deal, but probably skip the cokes and side of rice because I don't understand the cost. Receipt didn't show pricing. Overall, prices seem a bit high for the area and the food didn't justify the cost, so we will likely only go for specials.

Barely looks big enough to be a restaurant to be honest. The place has more of a homeliness to it, which can be charming if wanting to focus on the good meal. Any decent Mexican restaurant should have margaritas as well as free chips. It's about $9 for the cheapest margaritas. These have several flavors including classic lime, as well as mango and strawberry. Maybe these aren't too strong, but there's enough to get a buzz. The food has typical favorites like tacos, and because it's authentic there's also tortas. It's about $12 for a burrito. These are pretty big and packed full of stuff. Lots of fajita vegetables and especially great with jalapeños. These can be made vegetarian by not getting meat. If wanting meat though, you have choices. There's beef, chicken, chorizo, pork, steak, and tongue. Check the hours before going. It often closes for private parties. These often happen on weekends.
