Customer Reviews

"Great food for the price! My girlfriend and I just stopped here and couldn't believe how fast, friendly, and fresh the food was delivered. We took home second portions of our order and left happy. If you love good Mexican this is the place to visit!"

- Dusty R.

"A group of about 15 of us rode our motorcycles through Tomahawk on a beautiful, early fall Saturday. We stopped here and it was perfect. They easily accommodated all of us. Our waitress was great. The food was hot and fresh and pretty good; I had the chicken chimichanga. It was just enough food for the right price that I didn't need to put any to-go food in my saddle bags (-;"

- Beki N.

"As always, huge portions, great flavor and taste. Waiter was efficient and friendly. Highly recommended restaurant in downtown Tomahawk. Their location in Rhinelander is still our favorite."

- Mark B.

"Barbecue Nachos and Bacon Shrimp Quesadilla were fantastic! Really like their salsa, better than most too."

- Angelica M.

"This review is when the restaurant was called El Jovenaso (2021). **Continue to read at the end about what is now Nachos (in a different location) ** We went for a later lunch, just two of us. Started out with fresh tortilla chips & super fresh homemade salsa (definitely mild). We asked for a hotter salsa which was very hot (I know everyone's palate is different). I put little "drips" on my chip to try, where my husband who tolerates heat better than me, ate a lot more. He had tears in his eyes ! But we mixed the two for our meal & it was perfect for us. Our lunches were fast & delicious. I ordered a steak taco "Mexican" style (corn tortilla & cilantro & onion) an el pastor sope (which a lot of Mexican restaurants do not make), & rice & beans. The sope was excellent! My husband got the spicy pork burrito. It had a "zing" to it, and the pork was very tender. We thought they had good rice & refried beans. We also shared a lime margarita that was made with real limes. They do have a full bar & a lot of tequila choices. We cannot wait to go back out to eat & try more authentic Mexican dishes. **. NACHOS REVIEW 2025*** We were so happy to see that they reopened after the fire that took the building. However, it is either under new owners or new cooks. This time our jalapeno margarita was NOT made from scratch, it was made with a gallon jug of margarita mix. Plus it was a jumbo sized for about $18 & I swear, there was not any or very little tequila (a jumbo marg, I should be buzzed after drinking it). The food we ordered was way over seasoned, very salty, even the refried beans. The homemade guacamole was not made fresh, because it was lacking the green color and it was served cold. Knowing that avocados will brown, most restaurants make it from scratch. My street tacos came with an avocado cream (?) and it did not taste fresh. Not at all what I remember from before. For what is the only option for Mexican food in the area, it's not that great. Not sure you will find that in northern Wisconsin. I included our food pictures from this last trip, and you can see the flavored margarita mix gallons. I wish it were the old El Jovenaso. **"

"The stuffed avocados were seriously the best thing I've ever eaten in my life. I would drive the two hours from home to eat at this restaurant. Plus their chips are salty (in a good way), the salsa is super tasty, and the refried beans were smooth and smoky. I was impressed."

- Audra C.

"I've been here a couple times and my experience has always been great. Good margaritas and drinks for adults with plenty of options for kids. I personally love the chicken tortilla soup, it is very authentic and filling with tons of shredded chicken. Love the pina real and the enchiladas. Definitely recommend!"
