★★★★★ 5.0 Erin Millichap · Feb 2026

We sat at the bar, and the bartender was great! Ordered a spicy margarita, even though it wasn’t on their menu. The chips and salsa were amazing along with the main meals. Can’t wait to go back!

We were happy to hear of the this New Mexican restaurant so we tried it out yesterday afternoon. Our experience was very good, the service was great and the drinks were really good also. The food was ok, the Al Pastor taco and the rice were very delicious. We weren’t fans of the chicken quesadilla, the chicken wasn’t white me or at least it didn’t taste or look like it. The quesadilla looks more like a large taco than a quesadilla. We will be back but hoping they change that quesadilla if possible.

We went at 6pm on a Friday and waited about 20 minutes after being seated just to place our first drink order. Service did improve later in the evening, but that first impression set the tone. I usually judge Mexican restaurants by their fajitas, and unfortunately the $28 “NY strip steak fajitas” were very disappointing. The portion of steak was surprisingly small. In fact, our quesadilla grande (which was about half the price) had noticeably more meat than the fajitas. To be blunt, I’ve had significantly better fajitas at chain restaurants like Uncle Julios. When a local spot is charging nearly $30 for fajitas in a city with as many good Mexican options as Milwaukee, expectations are higher. The drinks were excellent, and the salsas were very good. One thing to note though: chips and s
