    Average food. Took incredibly long considering it was 1/2 full before a Bucks game. Nothing to write home about, but nothing to complain about either.

    Great location if you’re going to Fiserv Forum. The nachos and Greek freak tacos are awesome.

    The service was ok. Not very busy in there and the waitress didn’t check on us until our food was over 1/2 gone. Then it took awhile for her to come get the payment. My burrito was ok as it was just barely warm inside. I didn’t care for the corn salsa inside of it but that is more on me vs the restaurant. My daughters quesadilla was good but then again it’s pretty hard to screw that up! I’ve definitely had much better Mexican food!

    Reservation worked great given we were there before a Fiserv concert! Tacos amazing, plantains amazing. Margaritas delish!! Server well versed on menu and switching topping around to be gluten free. We will be back for sure!

    Food was delicious. Ambiance was lacking as the restaurant was mostly empty (on a Wednesday night).

    Server was super helpful. She helped me work around my special diet needs and I ended up having an excellent meal. I will definitely be back!

    Server was friendly. Food was just ok. We had a smothered burrito. Didn’t have all the ingredients in the burrito listed on the menu. Wasn’t impressed.

    This was an awful experience. Service was slow even though the restaurant was mostly empty. They were out of many menu items (including guacamole!) and had to remake our margaritas three times. I honestly can't remember a time I've been so disappointed with a meal.

    When we (8 people - 4 couples) walked in, the hostess walked away and left us standing there for 3-4 mins. Came back and just stared at us rather than greet us. Got to our table. Waitress was nice, until two members of our party switched end seats. She became irritated and re-took our entire drink order. A Margarita Crawl had come through earlier that day, but by this time it was fairly empty and no reason for either to have an attitude towards customers. Everyone ordered tacos. I went with the authentic-style 'street' tacos (steak, onion & cilnatro). The moment they were placed in front of me, I knew I made a mistake. First, the tortillas were undercooked. Barely warmed and I was afraid to fold them for fear that they'd just tear in half. There wasn't much steak on the tacos and the ratio of steak to onion was roughly 1:1. After taking half of the onions off, there was barely anything left on the tortillas. Since the tortillas were doubled up, I could barely taste any steak. After consuming my onion and tortilla tacos, I set my sights on the rice. Again, undercooked and sadly, very bland. Since I was hungry, I ate all of it in hopes that it would eventually earn the 4-star review rating it has across various sites (Trip Advisor, Google, Open Table), but that was not the case. The one positive was the margaritas. While not the best, they were much better than the food. I went in with high hopes and left hungry and disappointed. The portions were small and the food wasn't worth the money (~$4/taco).
