Tasty Mexican food! I had the fried chimmiechanga with steak and a margarita. Left the restaurant fat and happy! Steak was seasoned and shell was crisp. Large portions. The rest of my group had a chicken dish and another with shrimp. They were pleased. Tables were spaced appropriately with a large new addition, staff wearing masks, and a lot of take out orders flying out the door. I'll be back soon!

The lunch was good. The seasoning is a little tame, but this is Iowa. Service was good and prices reasonable. This is a place to try, for sure.

Food was amazing and came quickly but it took forever for our order to be taken and to get the check to pay. Walking into a restaurant the smell will tell you if the food is good and as soon as we walked inside i was excited to eat there

I went to this place twice this week, while driving for the Amish. My wife and I enjoy Mexican style restaurants and this place did not disappoint. The wait staff is a bit slower than I’m use, but they are polite and don’t make mistakes. I got the Steak Burrito that was smothered in cheese and a Charro dessert. All for under 20. Tasty, filling, and great ambiance. You could choose an outside, or bar seating, as well as a more intimate inside veranda style... Very quint place.

Fantastic little place. Had a group of 10. From the time we walked in until done was just a little over a hour. Prices were good. Portions were good. Will return for sure.

The food was amazing! I got a Chicken Fajitas for 7.25 and a Mango margarita for only 1.99 for a Tuesday lunch special and it was totally worth it. The plate was filling and everything had a punch of flavor! The margaritas were alright, but pretty good for the price I paid!! They also have lots of lunch specials and drinks specials for different days! Servers were friendly but had some communication issues, not sure if they had trouble understanding English or the menu. Overall a great value experience!
