    We were seated immediately on a Monday evening in the bar area. We were fortunate to have excellent service provided by Valerie. She was polite, fun and attentive. Margaritas were strong and food was plentiful and met expectations. Easy drive from our airport hotel. Fun, colorful decor with a huge bar.

    I used the app to reserve a table for 8 for a birthday dinner. Our party was on time & the restaurant had plenty of empty tables & relatively quiet. Our table was not ready & we waited for over 10 minutes while they put a table together. Once we were seated, I couldn’t find an option under $13 for food. Your standard taco plates w/ R&B ran between $13-$21 which I think is absurd. I pay a third to two thirds that cost at my usual go to Mexican restaurants. The food was extremely salty & flavorless. There was a great mariachi band. I assumed that because I listed the special occasion as a birthday on the open table app that they’d come & sing to our table. We were finished eating & had to wave them over to sing after waiting about 20 minutes. I would never go back or recommend this salt lick to anyone.

    Service was terrible. Took at least 10 minutes before getting our drinks order. Then another 10-15 before placing our appetizer order. Our waitress never came back to take our food order. Until she brought our appetizer which was at a half hour from taking our appetizer order. Then asked if we wanted to place an order?!? Never came to our table to refill our drinks, or asked if we needed anything. We were looking so forward to coming here for dinner. Not sure if we'll ever go back. Service was absolutely horrible!

    Eh, the service was extremely slow and we ended up having to ask for a couple of things more than once. The food was quite good, though.

    This was a group of friends who had gone to elementary school together 50 yrs ago! Centrally located between Chicago, DeKalb, Sheboygan and Whitewater! We enjoyed our food, our server, Maria, and, of course our conversation. My husband and I had eaten here several times before and always liked it!

    Great food, value, and service. We will be back! Good selection of drinks, although we didn't get any. Lunch menu looks good as well.

    Food was amazing. Service was great. Got our food super fast. Ton of food for not much money. Are on the patio, so a couple people smoking around us but was brief. Very loud and hard to hear until the mariachi band moved inside.
