Such a striking location. Love that local history has been preserved. My shrimp enchiladas were phenomenal and I’m still dreaming about how cold and fresh the sour cream was.

I was kind of skeptical that we would find good Mexican in the middle of Iowa but happily surprised by this spot! Nice ambiance in what looks like a converted rail road station. Guac and salsa were just ok but the entrees were really good and also quite fairly priced.

I thought their enchiladas were seriously lacking, excluding the cheese enchilada. Would not recommend off my single experience, but go again and try something different.

Inside the old train station, historical and cozy, you'll find the best restaurant in Grinnell. The food is not complicated but who doesn't love rich guac, savory shrimp and homemade salsa? But the real star is how fast and professional the servers are, would return, would pick for a first date. Gracias!!
