La Chiva Loka Reviews
We ate at this restaurant for the first time 7-30-25. As we had just had Mexican food elsewhere the night before so we chose the Whiskey Burger with fries to share. BEST burger I have ever had. French fries were done perfectly.
We ordered sauted vegetables as a side and they were awesome. Perfectly tender crisp and seasoned perfectly.
We will make the drive from Muscatine again!
The chicken fajitas were excellent and our waitress was kind and patient with us old people
What a fantastic place to eat and relax with friends and colleagues. The food is delicious and extremely reasonably priced! I experienced this restaurant when they first opened in Riverside and lived across the street from it. I now live in Iowa City and still go there quite often.
