We have ate here since the day it opened years ago. It's been great but then in early 2012 the service became very bad. Visit after visit we got poor service We stopped going because of it. Then we wanted to try again after so many months. It was back to its old self. We talked to one of the waiters and he told us they had fired some of the staff. The chips and salsa were great as was the food. The service was great and our meal was ready very quickly.
Review Source:Staying overnight at the nearby Holiday Inn. This place was recommended. The recommendation turned out to be a good one, I had the taquitos and wife had the tacos con Carne Asada. Chips were real local cooked, salsa fresh but not exciting.
Food fresh-cooked and hot. Beer good, margarita tasted of a pre-mix. I enjoyed the break after long day of driving. Â I would eat here again if back at same hotel.
The food was good and my view of it has nothing to do with the yummy pitcher of Margarita we drank! Â We had the cheese dip, Taco De Asada with beans and rice and mini chimi's. Â All was great. Â Salsa was bland. Â I liked the rice a lot. Â The steak taco and cheese dip was better than usual but the rest of it was very typical of an 'Ameri-Mex' joint.
I knew there wasn't any female employees working that night cause the bathroom was a gross mess. Â Our server wasn't as interested in taking care of us as he was hanging out with the other do nothing servers. Â Between his broken English and my poor Spanish, there was a big communications barrier but it all worked out. Â They do have a great view of the lake but only if you sit in the front ( non-smoking area).
I went back again and got carry out on a late work night. Â Just got a couple taco salads. Â Of course they gave us the chips and salsa too. Â They just wrapped the salads in flimsy foil and they didn't drain the beef and lettuce well so I had a juicy mess in the bottom of the to go bag. Â Also, I should of asked them for styrofoam plates. Â Luckily, my hotel had some in their breakfast area as well as salt and pepper cause the taco salads was bland! Â One day, I'll remember to start bringing my travel bottle size of Sriracha for my pizza's, pasta's, Mexican and Chinese!
This place has a great view of the Pine Lake and together with some sizzling fajitas and couple of Margaritas you'll feel like swimming in the lake, LOL. The food is pretty decent and the melted cheese dip is a must try! they use real cheese not some mix or diluted stuff like in other places. Also they prepare the drink right there not premixed stuff...
Owner and staff is quite attentive and friendly, just let them know you need attention and they will be there, if you know what I mean. They can customize your meal the way you want, that's quite a benefit. I have tried four times already on my way to Chicago 'cause driving 10 minutes out of the way is worth.
Cheers!
I just went there after reading the reviews from this page. I was craving mexican and I was not disappointed. I always think that reviews are overrated but I will give this place a 3.5 stars, 4 to be generous. The food was very fresh tasting and filling. Dinosaur portions for me but ok for my 220 pounds buddy Jack the Ripper. I actually like it more than the one in Michigan City, more pleasant and clean.
