Customer Reviews

Junior is a chef. The man can cook. A Mexican bar and grill? No! Italian food, a pizza, burger, fish fry--you name it--it's all great. Of course you need to start with a house margarita. Well mixed and balanced. This is the first time I had a hamburger and onion rings there. Well cooked and seasoned patty. Choose all the toppings or a few! The perfect meal while watching a Brewer game and socializing with patrons and the hard working, yet friendly and casual staff. Support local and enjoy the new offerings that pop up off menu. Can't recommend this place enough--and I don't give out five stars very often!!

Highly recommended! I had the seafood enchiladas (cream cheese sauce is amazing) and the wife had the shrimp and pineapple taco special. All was perfect. Margaritas were the best in town. Staff was friendly and engaging. Will be back again! Although we didn't try any, it was nice that they had vegan options.

Came in today for a business meeting. Arrived at 1pm and the restaurant closed at 2pm. The actual owner took care of my colleague and I. We were not rushed and allowed to finish our meeting before close. Food was fabulous and she took great care making me a to go bag with my leftovers as she knew I was a traveler!

I would give it a 10if available. Since moving to WI we haven't found a good Mexican (Margarita ) joint until tonight. . Like true WI restaurants don't let the outside fool you. In GA if if was small the food wasn't good. For me it's all about the Margaritas. It's a small family restaurant. We were greated by a friendly voice "To sit wherever we wanted". They even changed the station so we could watch GA vs Auburn. The wife greets everyone that I saw and gives the daily specials and always ask new faces "where are you from" People just don't do that anymore in ATL and it was so nice. She thanked us for traveling from Oconomowoc to Watertown to visit. Again the genuineness of this was amazing. My Margarita was on point. (His mom's recipe) The sour cream enchiladas melted in your mouth. Cheese Dip and Salsa homemade so yummy! My husband had the Nachos and it was the first time (in over 10 years) he could not finish his plate. I never cared for the food at my old Mexican restaurant, it was the drinks and the vibe. But what I received tonight a perfect margarita- the food I took home for leftovers and I never do! The husband came and spoke after we ate. I raved about the food. Who knew you could get a good drink and great food-that's a first! He was so thankful. Like genuinely thankful. He told us how they started out and a quick snip it of his life story. I was just honored. It's a humble establishment everyone should try out. We will be loyal customers! Thank you for your kindness not just to me but every single person you spoke to. If you visit please let them know the GA couple recommended you off a review. I do not think they see these. Wonderful place can't wait to go back!

What a Hidden Gem!! I Loved it! I didn't know what to expect. I have lived in Watertown for years and had never eaten here. I have been missing out. It's very small place on Main St. not much seating a two high tables by the window and I think like four or five regular tables across from the bar. The service was ok friendly but left a little to be desired. Didn't want to keep her at the table long with any questions because they were busy. When we left around 6:30pm it was pretty full. We had the fish dinner with fries, coleslaw and marble rye and the Spanish Cod with a salad. With a rum & coke and strawberry margarita.
