We visited Frank Lloyd Wright's Wingspread and the Lighthouse too - here in Racine, WI (home of the…read moreKringle), and we built up an appetite and were in the mood for Mexican food. Yelp pointed us here, as it's a popular spot and I would have to say that we really enjoyed our meals. We got a variety of tacos - barbacoa, picadillo, asada, and carnitas. The ham and cheese quesadilla was really tasty. The carne asada plate was also excellent. I ate all of the chips and they offer five (5) types of sauce!! We also got a steak burrito to go and looking back on this afternoon, we would definitely come back to eat at this authentic restaurant. I say authentic because I think we were the only non-Mexicans in this restaurant, although I do identify as Mexican, so I felt right at home. I randomly wore a Manny Pacquiao Nike shirt today, which caught some attention, but it was all good....

From their chilaquiles, tacos, Gordita's, etc, to their Molcajate, pozole, menudo, etc, their selections have a quality take. Their food is quite tasty and fresh. In addition, the servers are highly welcoming and attentive to your wants; they will even accommodate some add-ons to specific dishes (I got lettuce, chopped onions and radishes added on to my chilaquiles). I highly recommend this place.

The menu features lots of excellent Mexican cuisine choices including quesadillas, birria/ chorizo/ or steak tacos, Mexican breakfast options, and a small kids menu. During our first experience here, my husband ordered the steak taco plate which included 3 tacos, rice and beans. He also ordered the birria ramen. I, myself, ordered the birria taco plate which included 3 birria tacos, the consume, rice, and beans. We thought everything tasted very good! Beverages include: Different Mexican beverages such as Jarritos, Mex Coke, Horchata etc. Once could also canned soda, coffee, or juice. Their horchata was delicious-not overly sweet or watery at all. As far as alcoholic beverages, they have those, too! Paloma's, margaritas, and I was informed that they will soon have a mocktail menu. Service: Excellent. My husband and I dined-in on a very busy Sunday and there was no where to sit except a high counter-top area. We placed our order and were offered a table as soon as one became available. While eating, we were asked at least 3-4x if everything was okay or if we needed anything by various staff members. Prior to leaving, it started pouring rain outside. My husband paid our bill then went to pull our car closer to the door. While he was doing that, one of the employees by the name of Lupe grabbed an umbrella and walked me to the car when he pulled up (it's summertime and I was in summer attire including sandals). When I ordered carry out and sent my husband to pick up, I only wanted rice and beans. For some reason, he did not check the bag before leaving. He ended up coming home with some else's entire order which had no beans or rice. The restaurant was set to close in 15 mins, thus I did not bother to call about it. Value: $10-$20 on average for a meal and regular beverage. Great value for the portion sizes. Ambiance: Nice ambiance, yet very small restaurant with a bar area. Few tables outside for outdoor seating. Location: 2343 Mead St, Mt. Pleasant, WI, 53403 Phone: 262-456-0154 *Parking is all street parking and not the greatest when the place is busy. Check Google for business hours before going as it seems to change often. Cons in my opinion: * Because the restaurant is so small, I didn't like that large families were dining in and being *dining squatters* by taking up a few tables and conversing with one another for a long time, which took up a lot of space for a lot time. *dining squatter- someone that dines at a place, taking their sweet time eating, and lounging around after eating. * this business also owns a food truck, so it seems that their restaurant hours of operation change quite often depending on when they will take their food truck out.

Let me say FOOD AMAZING!! Waitress(service) lady was…read moreterrible. Wasn't very busy as it was a weekday-she was very short(like hurry up and order feeling). We had a family of 4. Served very little chips/salsa (no biggie-until you want more) she never comes back to the table or offers anything more. We had to flag her down; tell her more chips (wanted more salsa,but she hurried away before asking) she took the empty chip basket and empty salsa cups(assuming she would refill them) Waited a while she only gave us another small Portion of chips/NO salsa. We wanted more drinks(1 margarita and 1 refill water) flagged her down yet again) EVERYTHING takes forever w/this lady(no name tag).. We finished our food and our margarita and water was delivered by a young man/not her-he had a wonderful smile.. Than she came over as we were paying the bill and asked need anything else.. So rushing to drink the margarita (since it was served) while paying the bill was quite disappointing. I want to try this place again/avoiding this lady waitress. There was a young man there and he was on top of his table-REQUESTING HIM NEXT TIME!! Giving this place one more chance since the food was good, but I need good service too..

The food was awesome, the margaritas were fantastic and served in mason jars. This name of this place sounded familiar to me so we came here. We went in thinking this was the place and was seated quickly. They served chips and a green salsa right away, my riding buddy thought that the salsa we had before was red. We ordered our usual margaritas anticipating a good cocktail. When the drinks came we were a little disappointed that they were not in a mason jar. We were very disappointed that the margaritas tasted like there was no tequila in them, it was like drinking mix. I finished mine fairly quickly and when the server brought the food We mentioned how the margaritas tasted like there was no alcohol in them. He explained that the margaritas are pre-made in batches, a margarita should always be made fresh from scratch in my opinion. I asked for another and also asked that there be alcohol in this one. He brought the second one and the flavor was much improved, it no longer tasted like just mix. My riding buddy ordered a second and her drink still tasted like mix only so I ordered a shot. The service was good, the ambiance was great but the margaritas a big let down.

Small but has several seating areas. We sat down and ordered with the server. She was efficient with a no nonsense attitude. The chips were so light and crisp. The salsa was fresh and tasty. It wasn't too hot and was easy to eat. The guacamole was just as delicious. Our tacos were sooo good. My sisters loved their fluffy tacos that were crunchy.
