The waitress/bartender/cook was doing ok until her friends arrived until then I was the only one there. The friends had no manners eating with there mouths open and allowing there children to run in and out of the kitchen screaming, and as soon as they arrived the service stopped and all attention went to them. Absolutely horrible experience

Poor customer service- unreasonable prices. Owner claims that " my husband and I are the owners, and he's Mexican, so the menu is authentic. By the way, he is from Rockford, IL."Ps ONLY THE FIRST BASKET OF CHIPS/SALSA IS FREE! Any additional basket is $.75To top it off.. Only ONE REFILL for fountain soda pop! We were rudely talked at- and the owner was dripping with attitude as we inquired about items on the menu. Her solution for us struggling with selecting a meal was, " you must not be from around here?" what difference does that make?!?Needless to say, We didn't Stay.

If you want somewhere that charges $.75 per basket of chips and salsa, only gives you 1 refill of soda before charging you again, or a condescending owner that tells you that other parts of the country serve Mexican food wrong because "that's not how we serve it in Wisconsin"...then THIS is your place to eat.This may all sound like it surely can't be true, especially in the Midwest....sounds more like the East Coast right? But I assure you what I say is true. Check out their menu, in the top left corner it states "only 1 refill" under the soda. And on the bottom left of the menu it states "every basket of chips and salsa after the first one is $.75". I asked the owner about it and she said "you'll find that's the way everyone around here does it....you must not be from around here"......really? I am from Central Illinois...far from anywhere foreign....or even culturally different than Central Wisconsin. What kind of response is that from a business OWNER??!!!! I'm not going to just continue bashing/complaining......i'll let mine and other patrons dollars do the talking...on the couple nights I have been by there and the one night I went there....there have never been more than 2 cars in the parking lot at prime (6-730pm) dinner time. I almost always go by the old adage of judging how good a restaurant is by how many cars are in the parking lot....once again it proves right. Try the Mazlatan Mexican Restaurant downtown Fond Du Lac...much better and i ate 4 baskets of chips for FREE!!!!

Food is OK. It is not authentic, but few places are. However it is not even Tex-Mex. . . More like Wis-Mex. Lots of dishes with mushrooms and melted mild cheddar on them. Flavor is just OK - definitely a bit bland for Mexican food. You don't have to be spicy to be flavorful. If you want food "inspired" by Mexico come here - it is fine, clean and good drinks. Looking for something to satisfy your Mexican food craving? Keep looking - you won't find it here. If you end up here because your brother-in-law says it is wonderful - ask for the hotter sauce to dump into the fresh salsa.

Good service, friendly staff.Terrible food. If I was trying to insult Mexican people this is the food I would serve them. I had the enchiladas and tamales. The tamales were dry and weird. The enchiladas pretty much just had ketchup on them. I also ordered a margarita, which I didn't think was even possible to mess up, but it was terrible. It had big ice chunks, little fruit flavor, and I'm almost certain there wasn't even booze in it. They were also blasting Christmas music, in English. It just made for a weird vibe. Why would I want to listen to Alvin and the Chipmunks Christmas for the 8000th time while eating "Mexican" food.I'm rarely picky about food, but when I go eat out at a restaurant I expect the quality to be at least above frozen/microwaved stuff.Avoid this place.

Heading up Highway 41 through Fond Du Lac, there aren't alot of Mexican food choices (other than fast food) but this place is not bad. As other Yelpers have noted, the food is OK. Some of our meals have been good while others are just OK so I give it three stars because we really haven't had a bad meal and the service has been acceptable. We've stopped here a couple of times on our way to and from up north Wisconsin and will continue to keep it on our list.

If you love food with no flavor and without seasoning, this is the place for you. When the best part of the meal was the free sopapillas, you can imagine how the rest of the meal was. From the stale tortilla chips to the bland rice and beans and fish from a can?) tacos, this was an overall poor experience that we will not repeat again. Even the sangria was lacking flavor. On a positive note, my wife thought the raspberry iced tea was good.

Food is a runny mess, had the burrito and enchilada combo, runny hamburger, sloppy sauce and beans should be served with a soup spoon, there was nothing on one and the other had a minimum amount of cheese on it. Any thing added was a up charge cheese onion, sour cream or lettuce. I ordered 2 tacos with a order of sour cream, because of ordering 2 I had to pay for 2 side of sour cream which was $3 and came in a 1 shot glass. Again up charge. My suggestion is go to taco bell you will be a lot happier!! And you wallet too!

It's Mexican American. No surprises and definitely worth your visit. Less expensive than the other places in town. Unless you're a super picky or uptight food critic you'll be satisfied.

This is a Mexican-American restaurant and so is its food, or at least the two entrees my co-diner and myself enjoyed. The plate for around $10 was filling and even though it looked like Mexican food it had an American taste to it. Think of authenticity say you travel to Singapore and your served a patty in between two breads, it looks like a hamburger from home but it's missing that char or maybe that coal grill flavor or the meat and bread used is different. Perhaps the seasoning was way different and so were the toppings. You can use all these factors and say it's an American-Singapore burger but not an American burger. Same thing here, the food at best was Mexican American. The portions were filling and the ingredients used seemed fresh. The waitress was friendly and checked on us throughout our stay.Stars were knocked off for the taste as it lacked being authentic, and more were knocked of because the waitress, possibly a co owner as well never wore a mask. Even as she hovered over us while we were sitting on the chair inhaling any droplets she was exhaling. She even greeted a third party food delivery driver and both were not wearing a mask. It was an extremely concerning occurrence during this 2020 respiratory infection pandemic.With that said it was my first sit down experience since November 2019, and now I know if I walk in a restaurant and notice a lack of precautions being taken I'll simply turn around and go somewhere else. Lesson learned.
