    Ask for Mikey or Jesse. If you're at the bar you'll see them. Any carnitas are excellent. Not over seasoned and cooked majestically. Carnitas tostadas app is life changing. Oh and they have lucid FOTO

    Wonderful place! Easily one of my favorite restaurants. I get the wallaye taco with the corn cake on the side. Everything is so fresh it all tastes amazing. Good appetizers. Great place to be! (:

    Great margaritas! Fresh mix. But for something truly interesting, try a drink called the "Devil's Advocate" made with muddled jalapenos and lime... Not super spicy because they remove the seeds!

    If you like fish tacos, you gotta get the walleye taco. It has chipotle mayo... Also, the corn cake side is awesome! Like fried cornbread with pico de gallo!

    Walleye tacos are not that great; flavorless and blend no "salsa" or any spice in it or on the side, the place is very nice and the service is awesome but they need to do something with the tacos.

    The dessert of banana white chocolate quesadillas with caramel drizzle and cinnamon ice cream sounds super weird but is absolutely delicious!!! Try it!

    The burritos live up to the name, the jalapeño poppers are amazing and the cheap margarita option tastes a bit like store-bought premix, but it's not terrible.

    The guacamole appetizers are very good! The breakfasts are big enough for two people to share. Service was great.
