Business Summary what's this?
For three star Mexican, try La Fuente in Milwaukee. The menu is comprised of mexican standards. This place features outdoor dining. This restaurant is very affordable. This place is open late.
1.0 of 5 stars.
The only reason to go to this place is the Margarita's and if you don't like Margarita's, there literally is no point. I can get better tortilla chips and fresher salsa at El Rey anyday. It's over...

I like this place for the outdoor patio. Outside of that I don't visit in the Winter. I HATE the look inside this place. Dark, dank, and unappetizing.Food is OK. Drinks are the bomb!
