Delicious seafood. Good prices. Great service. Food took a little while to arrive but it was fresh, made to order and so required a certain time to prepare. Other reviewers complained of slow service, perhaps they neglected to take this into account.

Had the chicharrones with green sauce, scrambled eggs and beans very delicious. If I'm in the area again I will be there again.

Two words: homemade tortillas. Great prices. Amazing chips. You know, the kind that can actually be used to scoop up the barbacoa that falls out of your taco but doesn’t break your teeth. (First chips and salsa is free.) The red salsa is a good blend with great spices. It is spicy. But the good spicy, flavor not just heat. I ordered one barbacoa taco and one Al pastor both with corn tortillas. Yes, they are greasy. That is what I wanted. But if you want super dry, blah Mexican on the healthier side, go to Torchy’s. I liked the Al pastor with the green salsa served alongside. But, barbacoa always has my heart. Note there is a 4% fee for payment via card. The music was kind of loud. An oasis for a former Texan spending the last 6 months in Northeast Wisconsin.

This is some of the best Authentic Mexican food you’ll ever eat. Exceeded my expectations by far, I was so happy I chose to wander in there and sit down and it. If you know anything about Mexican food or even if you don’t, you’ll love it. First timers this is the place to find out out how it’s really done. The bomb!!

Atmosphere is chill, Sopa 7 Mares was rock solid, their other options looked good too, tortillas appear to be and taste store-made which is a plus
