“ Nice spot to sit outside! The ceviche was great (should’ve ordered extra chips with it) and we really liked the shrimp and carnitas tacos! The homemade tortillas made them even better. ”
“ This is hands down the best restaurant I’ve ever visited. The service is next-level and the food is life changing. I drive from the Twin Cities just to have lunch here and drive home with a smile on my face the whole way. ”
“ This restaurant is in the same building as the End Time Glory Church, so it was a bit tough to find. I'm so glad we did though! Definitely the best Mexican food I've had so far in Minnesota. Service was impeccable, fast and friendly. We got a barbacoa quesadilla, ceviche, and steak tacos--all excellent! We really liked the green sauce they had out, which I think was a cilantro crema type thing. For drinks we got the house hibiscus water, although I was tempted by the horchata. I'll have to get that next time! They also have bottles of Jarritos and Mexican Coke, and some other canned drinks. They also have flan! Definitely worth a visit. ”
“ DELICIOUS!!! Best Mexican Food that we have had since our trip to Mexico. We definitely will be back every time we come to town. Highly recommended!!! ”
“ Best Mexican restaurant in Willmar! My recommendation for anyone who’s reading this review is to get 3 steak tacos, 1 steak quesadilla and an extra large (or the largest) agua de Jamaica/ hamaica that they offer. It’s the dark red drink that they have next to the creme color one. They’re both in separate containers located on the reception desk. When you’re eating your steak tacos, make sure that you squeeze the lemon on them first and then second, pour a little bit of that red sauce (which is in the red container) that they have! Other Mexican restaurants in Willmar don’t come even close to this restaurant when it comes to food or in any realm of measure. This restaurant is superior than any Mexican restaurant in Willmar! I’m a very picky eater and this restaurant satisfies me fully! I’ve eaten/ had the same order for more than 20x times and it tastes just like the first time that I had it. So that means that the quality control is good at this restaurant! The reason why they don’t have as many reviews is because their restaurant is located on the outskirts of Willmar and their marketing is non existent. But that’s a good thing, because they focus on quality, instead of quantity. P.S. I’m confident that even Gordon Ramsey would approve that this restaurant has good quality food! ”
“ The food is delicious,all the workers are so friendly especially the owner. ”
“ Strange location and it's hard to tell its there. We have driven past it on accident a few times and we know it's there. That said, the tacos are fabulous and service is great too. Always loaded with delicious meats. Tons of sauce options. Love this place. ”
“ THE BEST! El mejor restaurante mexicano en Willmar! One Burrito or Quesadilla will feed two people. Un burrito o quesadilla alimentara a dos personas. Great prices! Precios grandiosos! Friendly Faces! Caras amigables! Try their food and homemade sauce at least once. You will not regret it. Prueba su comida y su salsa casera al menos una vez. No te arrepentiras. ”
