Been in this place a few times, honestly I had bad experiences the first times, I asked for hot sauce and never got it. I Asked for chicken and got ground beef. Last time I been there I got piña colada and was delicious I can say that drinks are awesome in this place. I'm a bit skeptical food wise but I will give it another try soon!
After cheering on the bands at the Southwest Iowa Band Jamboree in downtown Clarinda, our family ducked into El Sarape for a post-parade feast where the smoky Tacos Al Carbon—loaded with tender grilled carne asada, fresh onions, and cilantro—melted in our mouths with every bite. The kids beamed over their golden grilled cheese and French fries while we relished the warm, authentic vibes and speedy service that made our victory lap meal utterly perfect.
Best Mexican food that I’ve found outside of California and Texas. Fantastic service, authentic recipes from the Guadalajara region of Mexico.
Good selection of beverages- draft beer (including Modelo Negro), soda as well as amazing horchata and Aqua Jamaica.
Happy hour specials from 2-5 daily (closed on Sunday)
