I’m from Chicago, I came here because I was getting unloaded at the tire shop around the corner.This place is huge. Chips and salsa was good. I had shrimp fajitas and a shrimp empanada. The food was so flavorful and good. Welcoming warm atmosphere. If you are in the area and hungry I’m telling you the is good 10 out of 10

Incredible selection of dishes, in clouding lots of seafood plates and soups. The serving size of each dish borders on ridiculous. The dining halls are large with plenty of space to stretch out even when it's busy. It even has a large hall with a stage for music and dancing.

Overall, it was an okay experience. We were celebrating a birthday. The service was good, and the food was decent. I enjoyed the aguachiles, though they had a slight bottled lime juice taste. We ordered two parrilladas, and they were very filling more than enough for eight people. Since we had a party of eight, gratuity was already included on the bill.

Without a shadow of a doubt, I can honestly say this is the WORST Mexican restaurant I have ever been to! The dining area smelled like a public restroom. I was constantly bothered by flies the entire time. The atmosphere was okay but the paintings on the walls were rather loud, and they were showing signs of age with chipped paint and tears. My servers did not speak or understand English very well, and one of them came across as if she didn't care. Plus, they took too long. I was really tempted to just get up and leave. I only ordered three tacos and they were about as tasty as those Jose Ole mini tacos you find in the freezer section of any grocery store. In other words, they were disgusting, and the beef was drowning in grease and seasonings. It was barely edible. And those 3 cost about $16. The prices were insane here. You can find much better restaurants for your time and money than this place. Even a Taco Bell is a much better, tastier, and cheaper option!

Another great ethnic restaurant! The seating room was hand-painted, and it looked like someone took a LOT of effort to make the restaurant pretty. They succeeded! The food was also fantastic and unique. I had a pineapple stuffed with seafood and fruit, and I loved it! My only minor issue was that only one staff member that was there spoke English, but what do you expect? Wakeagan has a large Hispanic population, and I didn't expect to eat American food. With a translator app and the lady who spoke English, I think the restaurant is fine for an English speaker to go to. I will be back.
