We have been here once for dine in and twice for takeout. As someone who is from a Mexico border area and grew up eating Mexican food , this is some of the best mexican food i've found In iowa. Specifically, he guacamole is the best that I have Found in iowa since I moved here years ago. We have had nachos, burrito, tacos, and a couple dinner plates , and everything has always been good.

This small Mexican restaurant has amazing food that comes out pretty quickly! I recommend the Burrito Mexicana for a classic burrito (very filling). They also have Mexican candies/drinks up front. The staff are attentive and the restaurant is decorated well. Have to go through two sets of doors to get inside and single stall bathrooms (wheelchair accessible). It is in a strange location but I would definitely return.
