Went there for first time yesterday and the service was horrible. Walked in there were 3 young girls sitting in first booth eating they were the employees on duty. 1 got up to assist us ordered appetizer which stated with ranch I asked for ranch she didnt know where it was finally brought me a salad dressing packet for which I was charged a dollar. She dropped our food off and never came back to refill our glasses or see if we needed anything else. It was about 10 to 3 and they started complaining the 3 oclock person wasnt there yet. Another customer came in they did not seat him he was told he had to wait. They stood there counting their tips and 1 was clearing a table in which they had not finished beers stated I should chug this. Took bottle to back area. Also had to listen to how bad she had to pee. These were very immature employees. The 3 oclock girl got there her name was brooke I believe. She started helping customers that were left to wait brought them chips and salsa which my table did not recieve. She came and noticed the empty glasses promptly refilled them. Appologized to other customers for the poor service we all had received from the girls.

Wed been on the road for 2 weeks, through Ne, Nd, Sd and was traveling to MI and Id looked up restaurants all the way through out trip and NONE that were highly rated impressed us...at all. Our vehicle threw a windshield wiper making us take an unexpected detour to Grand Rapids and we had a sleeping toddler but didnt want fast food so we hoped this Mexican restaurant we randomly found had carryout. They did, insanely fast delivery, and OH my goodness, the best food the entire trip and so much of it! We had the pork chimichanga and tacos de carnitas (made stellar by whatever the green sauce was they provided with it). We were thrilled with our food and both remarked that it was the best we had the entire trip. Sort of wish we lived up there to go again. :) And the salsa for the chips gets better with age.

Where do I begin? The service was barely civil. The food was poor. The margaritas were made from some sweet, vaguely lime-ish, kool-aid and were truly terrible. My margarita had little or no tequila. My friends seemed to have two or three shots. The only bright spot was the salsa. Unfortunately, the chips were stale. I had to interrupt our waitresses conversation with another waitress to pay my check. There must be a better option in Grand Rapids.

nasty here! i found long strands of hair in my mixed fajitas, burnt into the sizzling pan, wrapped around my food! called the waitress over to show her; and all she does is stick her hands in my already gross plate of food, to pick the hair out! then says in broken english "all better" umm no its not all better! i would not eat here anymore!! just plain and simple "Eww"!!

What a pleasant surprise on a fishing weekend getaway! Food and service were great. Upgrade your margarita to the Texas style, its well worth the extra dollar. We had chimichangas, chili relieno and enchiladas at our table...all were very good. Prices were fair, we will go back again when we are in Grand Rapids!

This place is...ok. They cant seem to mix a margarita right to save their lives. Some are like water, some will knock you on the floor. The food looks and tastes like typical pre-packaged, but tastes decent. Some of the servers are horrible some are ok.....none are really good.

Good food that probably has spit in it, excellent flavor though if you like the taste of another mans mouth. Service terrible at best on a slow night so theres that to look forward to. All in all an excellent experience I would highly recommend to any of my arch enemies.

We eat lunch here every time we go to Grand Rapids, so much better than a burger and fries! Excellent staff and reasonably priced delicious food. If you arrive at the peak of mealtime it can be very busy because we are not the only ones who love this place!

THE BEST AUTHENTIC MEXICAN FOOD I have had in years! Highly recommend the carnitas tacos with Diablo sauce! If youre looking for spicy , you can find it here! They also have dishes for the milder palettes as well! Absolutely 11 out of 10 stars!

I was happy with my meal. My dinning partner requested shredded chicken and didnt get it. Service could use improvement. We were never checked on after receiving our food. Over all experience should possibly be a 3 star.

Good, basic Mexican restaurant. The chimichangas are tasty, and the salsa served with the chips before your meal has a bit of a kick to it and plenty of cilantro. Nice for a casual family dinner or celebration.

My favourite restaurant in town! Great and very wide menu! Spanish ambiance! And lovely staff! Found the menu cheap for the big plates you get, certainly can bring leftover home for the next days lunch.

I LOVE this restaurant. Theyre the closest thing to genuine Mexican food that youll find this far north. Plus they always make me my very own shrimp tacos that arent on the menu. ♡ Love it ♡

A pretty good northern Minnesota version of a Mexican restaurant. Good food at reasonable prices.
