One of the best parts of our visit to Iowa. The food was darn good and the service for a little storefront felt like I was at Tokie’s home. Amazing beans and salsa!! Great price too.
First of all this restaurant is great, every bite of your meal is an explosion of flavors in your mouth.This is not your average Mexican restaurant, whatever you have experienced before leave it out the door and pick it back up on the way out. When you first come in you are greeted by a friendly smile from the chef, you do have to order your food and pay before you sit down.The chips are cooked in a different style compared to other restaurants, just because they're a little crunchier...read full review
This has become one of my favorite spots quickly. The owner is a sweetheart and has offered me complimentary chips and salsa any time I have to wait. Best fresh salsa I have ever tasted (and this is coming from a California native who grew up in taquerias) !Had the asada fries and nachos so far, their asada steak is flavorful and well charred and portion size is amazing for the price. Definitely come check out this hidden gem!
