Great option when you're looking for something different from all the bar&grills around town. We were looking for a smaller meal to allow room for dessert afterward, and you can get two tacos here for $4 each. They tasted great and came out quick. Only downside is there isn't a ton of seating.

We had an incredible experience at this Mexican restaurant in Wisconsin Dells! From the moment we walked in, the staff was warm and welcoming, making us feel right at home. The food was absolutely delicious—authentic flavors, perfectly seasoned, and generous portions. The margaritas were some of the best we’ve ever had, and the fresh salsa and chips were the perfect start to our meal. The atmosphere was lively yet comfortable, with beautiful décor that gave it a true authentic feel. Everything came out quickly and hot, and the service was top-notch throughout the night. If you’re in Wisconsin Dells and craving amazing Mexican food, this spot is a must-visit. We’ll definitely be coming back!

After walking or driving by many many times, I conviced the boyfriend to go in and try it out. We each ordered one taco; chicken for me and barbocoa for him. We were blown away--best tacos ever!! I had a chicken taco with onion and cilantro. It came with 2 corn tortillas and the best chicken ever. And the green sauce was amazing! Not too spicy yet it complimented the meat perfectly. The barbacoa was juicy and tender. We will definitely stop in every time we are in the Dells
