Description

An unexpected fusion of Mexican comfort food, handcrafted ice cream and a candy shop, the restaurant delights with authentic tacos, weekend tamales, quesabirrias and standout sweets. Bright, nostalgic decor and flavorful sides make it a local favorite, though service can be inconsistent—order mistakes, limited recovery and cramped parking frustrate some customers and those with allergies. Devoted fans praise bourbon ice cream and high-quality steak; worth a visit for families and dessert lovers seeking bold flavors despite occasional service hiccups.

The food was enjoyable; I had the quesadilla dinner and the asada tacos. The asada was a bit crunchy, though. I ordered takeout, but when I got home, I realized they forgot my churro. I called the restaurant to see if I could pick it up another day, but they told me to come in before they closed that night. Unfortunately, they closed in less than 10 minutes, and I had just returned home to relax and eat. I really didn't want my food to go cold. I asked if I could come in in a couple of days instead, but I got the same response. Eventually, they did take my name down, but I didn’t go back for the churro because I was just frustrated with the service. There was no apology, and I was really looking forward to my churro. I’ll give the restaurant another try, hoping for a different experience with another staff.

I absolutely love this place! I can't wait to sample every flavor of ice cream they offer. The food is amazing too! I was genuinely surprised by how much I enjoyed this spot.

Just got the tamales. They are fantastic!!! Reminded me of the ones I would get in California. They only have them on the weekends so you better get there when they open or you might be out if luck.

The restaurant slash confectionery is absolutely endearing, And a bit nostalgic for me. Haha. Really cool to see somebody doing a shop like this in Rockford again, Wish them the best! The Taco meal was delicious, the steak tasted like very high quality meat. Got some of the bourbon ice cream, And yes, it's Absolutely to die for lol. High quality, but also just flavor is absolutely incredible. Highly recommend checking this place out! Too many candy options to try, certainly a new place to frequent.

The person taking our order younger girl is Rude and the sweets are over priced. The fruit was frozen and sour. I ordered fruit with yogurt after asking if they had that. She gave me only a fruit cup and refused to add yogurt to it. Really wanted to support a family owned business. Really hate the experience I had. But the food from what I've had is really good. But I ordered that off door dash. My experience in person was not great.
