Absolutely delicious! Definitely recommend going during happy hour. Everything was fantastic, from the margaritas to the tacos. I will absolutely be returning soon!

The best happy hour special around! Frozen margaritas are so good and pretty strong. I love the pork belly taco, shrimp taco, and the carnitas tacos but I have tried almost all of the tacos on the menu and they are all pretty good! The only downside is that the restaurant is small so it does get really busy during happy hour on weekends but other than that I appreciate the wonderful service and the great food!

What I noticed most about this place is the colors; colorful walls, interior, and food. Everything tasted fresh and healthy. Didn’t think the two fish tacos would fill me up but that paired with the chips and guacamole left me satiated. Cool place!

Been 15 minutes yet not had chance to order food. Smells like a gross grease trap inside too. The goofy Duritos are awesome, I want more but I can’t get over the smell here, and, still waiting & want to order my lunch. Should I call in an order and ask to have delivered to my table?

My friends and I heard about this place having happy hour for half off margaritas and tacos, which is a great deal. I order chicken tacos and el carne fresco tacos. I definitely recommend the el carne fresco tacos the steak was very flavorful. My friend had carnitas tacos and those were very good as well! The chicken tacos were good as well but I did not like the mango slaw on top. Also, the customer service was very good, I didn’t wait long for my food. Another recommendation is the frozen margarita which was very strong but delicious. I will definitely go back to eat there again!

Food was excellent, the ambiance of the restaurant is peak Madison. Our server was nice but clearly overwhelmed. The restaurant had few open tables and she was the only server running around helping everyone. Again, she was great, but understandably the service was slow just due to not enough people to take care of all of the patrons. I’ll definitely be returning. The chilaquiles are amazing, add chicken to them!

Street Tacos and margaritas were great. Wagonwheel complimentary starters were different, but good. Great stop.

Gary Conway
Tacos were decent. Service was friendly. Only reason for 2 stars is the outrageously priced drinks. I ordered a pitcher of margaritas and it cost $58. It was very good, but not that good. That is a ridiculous price for a pitcher of margs.
