Overall, it was an okay experience. We were celebrating a birthday. The service was good, and the food was decent. I enjoyed the aguachiles, though they had a slight bottled lime juice taste. We ordered two parrilladas, and they were very filling more than enough for eight people. Since we had a party of eight, gratuity was already included on the bill.

Incredible selection of dishes, in clouding lots of seafood plates and soups. The serving size of each dish borders on ridiculous. The dining halls are large with plenty of space to stretch out even when it’s busy. It even has a large hall with a stage for music and dancing.

Without a shadow of a doubt, I can honestly say this is the WORST Mexican restaurant I have ever been to!
The dining area smelled like a public restroom. I was constantly bothered by flies the entire time. The atmosphere was okay but the paintings on the walls were rather loud, and they were showing signs of age with chipped paint and tears. My servers did not speak or understand English very well, and one of them came across as if she didn’t care. Plus, they took too long. I was really tempted to just get up and leave. I only ordered three tacos and they were about as tasty as those Jose Ole mini tacos you find in the freezer section of any grocery store. In other words, they were disgusting, and the beef was drowning in grease and seasonings. It was barely edible.
And those 3 cost about $16. The prices were insane here. You can find much better restaurants for your time and money than this place. Even a Taco Bell is a much better, tastier, and cheaper option!

Another great ethnic restaurant! The seating room was hand-painted, and it looked like someone took a LOT of effort to make the restaurant pretty. They succeeded! The food was also fantastic and unique. I had a pineapple stuffed with seafood and fruit, and I loved it! My only minor issue was that only one staff member that was there spoke English, but what do you expect? Wakeagan has a large Hispanic population, and I didn’t expect to eat American food. With a translator app and the lady who spoke English, I think the restaurant is fine for an English speaker to go to. I will be back.

I’ll be back you have to be patient because they are short staffed due to ICE causing issues. Very beautiful atmosphere. Give them a shot.

Establishment is huge with a diffrent vibe in every room. There’s the traditional restaurant dining area with art work in every wall, a big long bar, and a ballroom that hosts events. Drink menu has all the options you could possibly need, probably the craziest and one of the best for sure. Alcoholics paradise to say the least. I like how this place updates their menu to keep up with trends. Tlayudas and machetes for example are add ons that makes this a must, not a lot of places serve that around here. Can’t hurt to try it out, their menu will surprise you with all their offerings!

Located in a bad area. We had a hard time with communication. Staff barely spoke English. The chicken dish had no taste despite the red sauce on it. Meals are overpriced. My wife said the taco salad was ok.

Huge menu, luck of the draw service, pathetic live and lively music. Delightfully cheesy ambiance. Good but not great food with humongous portions emphasize quantity over quality. Large tequila and mixed drinks selection.
Great place for big families and parties to share large portions. In one of the dining rooms tastefully gaudy decorations make you feel you are under the sea. A fun place, nevertheless.
PS: The patio is now open for seasonal outdoor seating. Looks like fun, complete with outside bar and full service.
PPS: A large dining/special events/performance venue has opened next to the bar which expands the available space. Gaudy special effects, high volume piped in music (can hardly have a conversation), when there is no live performance, attempt to give a festive ambiance but fail delightfully. You just have to be there.

These folks seemed to be short staffed.However, the place was mostly empty with just one other table seating customers.The one server that was there was not terribly busy and made few trips to see us. No refills on the drinks. I said thank you each time at the table no response or acknowledgement. Heard her thank the one other couple in the restaurant. Were were never spoken to. Just seated and asked if we were ready to order.
The food was plentiful in the plate. The cuisine is a Mexi / seafood style. Most offerings are paired with some kind of seafood. Would I go back? No it was 150.00 for 4 people. No alcoholic drinks or desert were ordered.

The server was excellent very attentive, but the atmosphere not so great little fruit flies flying around and a giant regular fly it is very pretty the painting on the walls and tables and chairs are so cute. The most important part, the food was blah, I got the hawaiian pineapple, not like what I’ve had before in other seafood places, and the prices are even higher than other places, I went 2 other friends only 1 of us was actually satisfied with their food, will not ve going back I have this restaurant way too many tries.
