How do you justify those prices? It's MEXICAN FOOD! The food supplies are some of the most economical, the recipes are no-brainers, and there are a plethora of Mexican restaurants within a 20 mile radius. You're located in a non-destination, small Iowa town Your prices are fully 40% more than they should be...

Very small place!! Nice outside area! Very large menu with lots of options. The chips are ok and the salsa is ok. The shrimp is fantastic!! Portion size is good. Honestly I prefer Carlos O Kelly’s over this place any day but if you’re in the area and want a decent meal definitely a good place

Went with friends because we had heard good things and they did not disappoint! The staff was friendly, quick with drinks and chips and salsa. They gave us all the time we needed to decide what we wanted (cause it all looked so good!). Food came out quick, and everything tasted great! I had the Pollo a la Crema, fantastic!! Highly recommended!

Not a bad Mexican place. Service was very good and the chips were top notch. The salsa was real good too.Only complaint would be the vent fan above the entrance was sucking the kitchen fryer smell into the dining area so after leaving I stunk worse than eating at Taco Bell on a packed day. Hopefully they don’t usually run that fan or can figure out a way to keep the smells from getting into the dining area.While the dining area is small it is arranged pretty good to provide maximum occupancy. Parking wasn’t a problem.The chicken quesadilla tasted good. I had the burrito that has a bunch of stuff in it but there was something odd with the ground beef (just an odd taste like it wasn’t drained well enough or maybe it’s just cheap ground beef). Overall it was good but I’ve had better tasting ground beef at other Mexican restaurants in the area.
