Even the fiery salsa is still made with fresh tomatoes, chiles, and that special Frias family touch. Our menu includes some of the more traditional foods such as guisados, sopes, carne asada, chile rellenos, and tamales. Taste is never compromised. We also have a full bar featuring the city’s best selection of Mexican beers and premium tequilas. Voted "Best Margarita" by City Pages.

Have always been pleased with the food and cocktails at Hazelwood. The only thing I would comment about negatively is that my dish was $10 more than everybody else’s, but smaller than everybody else’s. Parmesan crusted walleye. All the food and appetizers were absolutely incredible though. The cocktails were as well. A perfect place to meet friends and expect to have good food and drink no matter what you order.

I just wrote a review last week, but I have to let you know how wonderful the superfood salad was!!! It is great that something so nutritious can taste so good. My friend’s burger and my other friend’s turkey cranberry sandwich was also delicious. They both love the French fries, it was difficult to resist not eating some as they were willing to share. Our service was fantastic as well. Thank you, Jan Doepner PS. It was good to see the restaurant well attended, I think people are starting to discover what a treasure it is.

The vegan choice is poor; Please offer more choices with vegan protein ie; tofu (the bowl offered is not up to par) beans, quinoa etc. Crave is always my first choice for lunch with friends, but not after yesterday.
