I absolutely love Banditos! sometimes just my partner and I go, they get the individual tacos, I get the spicy shrimp burrito bowl! I always get a margarita, they have a selection if different flavors, all delicious, but my favorite is the hibiscus

Best mexican food in Iowa City! Authentic delicious margs and burritos

I used to really love this place, before their most recent expansion. After that it seemed the quality of food dropped significantly. The atmosphere with the larger space is also much worse. Before, many thanks to the smaller size, it felt more intimate and it was easy to have a conversation. With the bigger space everything echoes much more and it just feels bland and kind of empty. All in all, not great. If you want great Mexican go to La Regia.

Ordered some of the perez family tacos. Would compare them to tasty tacos out of des moines. Pretty good, but very greasy. Definitely need some hot sauce if you're a spice guy. They did give me a massive container of salsa and the portion size was pretty good for the money. Overall I would give 9/10, we'll round up to a 5 star for the salsa. Have heard from friends that their burritos are also top notch.

Fantastic carry-out food! We ordered breakfast tacos and oatmeal pancakes on Mother's Day, and appreciated the quick service and delicious food. Highly recommend!

This is my kind of place. The food is great! But there's something else and Idk how to explain it. It sounds funny but it's one of those places where you can just be you. It's not a bunch of people trying to be something else. Anyway, it's a great place and I could eat here every day.

Good food. Sunday Bloody Mary bar is great! A bit on the expensive side
Andrew Crimmins
Bloody Mary was good! Brunch was just okay; needed hot sauce to add flavor to the burrito.

The hibiscus mix is amazing!! I love mine blended with rum!!
The tacos at Tuesdays pricing cannot beat. Really good tacos. Bartender seemed to want to be elsewhere

I used to love this place in college, but this time I went I was unenthused. There were bits of bay leaf in our food, and it all was just a tad runny and undercooked. The margaritas, chips & salsa, and staff were awesome though!! I'm hoping we just caught them on an imperfect day, or ordered the wrong thing. I'll definitely back, and will continue to recommend.

Always stellar food, get the queso it’s the best you’ll ever have! Recommend the mushroom taco as well.

I love their hibiscus margaritas! Had only been there for Taco Tuesday deals prior to this visit. For that they have a salsa bar which is fun and different. Tonight I tried the carnitas bowl and it was delicious!! Very generous portion of marinated pork and the side of potatoes were done in a way I've never had before. Everything was delicious and our orders came out really quickly. They even split the cost of the pitcher of margaritas between the 3 of us without us asking. Would definitely go again. A fresh take on Mexican that's worth trying.
