This is a must stop spot, great atmosphere, Staff friendly and professional, Food is fast and delicious as well as the prices you can’t beat the price of a good Taco, Nacho or Cuban Sandwich and if that’s not what your in the mood for you could always try one of there signature pizzas…The Spicey Mexican is one of my all time favorites…

The food and service was really good. My only gripe was that condensation was dripping from the pipes overhead. A manager stopped by after we mentioned it to the waitress and she indicated that they were aware of this due to the discoloration on the table and likely previous complaints. Yet, they dont fix the issue and continue to seat customers at the table.

My sister and I had a great time before a show. The strawberry margarita was delicious. They even crafted my sister a mocktail. The hard tacos were very tasty. The queso is some of the best I have had before, and the churros were the cherry on top.

We came here for dinner with a few of our friends and service was outstanding. I wish I got our waiters name (blonde, tall, had a gray beanie on) and he over heard I was pregnant and not eating much and he so graciously brought me out a plate of pickles. I mean, 10/10 on the service and thoughtfulness. We will absolutely be back just because of this waiter. (We were here Saturday Feb 10th and our reservations were at 730.)

Great ambience, and cocktails. Service was outstanding, and her food suggestions made our experience unique. We have been there celebrating birthdays or just to hang out with friends, like last night.

A very nice selection of tacos ala carte, plentiful and very delicious. The ambiance of the restaurant is very nice. We went a cold day and the temperature in the restaurant was perfect.

Meh. Food is okay, nothing id come back for. However the service is what’s leading to my review.We had a group of 10 book 2 separate reservations willingly to take separate tables. We asked if we could have the *already empty* tables next to each other.One of the staff members gave us an earful that “that’s not how this works” and “you can’t have a big party and just book 2 separate tables there’s minimums etc etc.” with an awful tone.A simple “hey happy to accommodate but next time please be aware..” would’ve sufficed. I know the service industry has been rough for the last few years but professionalism and kindness should be immune to any circumstances.Based on a couple other reviews, sounds like we’re not the only ones who’ve experienced this.

Great experience! I had a birthday dinner here and the staff was very kind and accommodating. Food is amazing as always just like D'Amatos. Chicken tortilla soup was delicious, definitely recommend.

I don't get in here often enough. Honestly, a lovely spot for both food and drinks. Great night-vibes but honestly highly underrated brunch. One of my favorites.

If I could give service zero stars, I really would. My friends and I had been wanting to try the Iron Horse for quite some time. We put it off, but when a friend came in from Florida we thought what a perfect time. As soon as we arrived for our reservation, our waiter, a man with sleeve tattoos on each arm, was just rude. As we said hi, how are you today, there was no reciprocation and he was very rushed. At the time, we were one of three tables on the main floor. We asked him if we could have a couple minutes to look at the drink menu. He looked annoyed and sighed. He came back after 10 minutes and we said we were still trying to decide and could we please have just two more minutes. He sighs yet again and says well it’s going to be longer than two minutes and walks off. We look at each other and discuss what could possibly be his issue. True enough, we waited almost 25 minutes for him to come back, each of us tried to flag him down during that time and he obviously ignored us. He comes back, we order an app and drink. When I tasted my drink, it was very bitter so when he came back to get our entree order, I asked if I could have a little more strawberry to curb the tartness. It was a Mexican mule that had strawberrry (as said in the menu). He goes, there’s none of that in there and just stares as me, so I go um, do you have a suggestion? Annoyed yet again, he goes, ginger beer. I know that’s not sweet but at this point we’re all just done with his attitude so I agree. As we’re eating our app, the salsa and chips, my friend notices a blonde hair on my fork which is coming out of the salsa. Please keep in mind my friends and I are all brunettes. My friend says don’t even say anything just get new silverware and we’ll leave the salsa alone. God knows if something will be done to our food if we say anything. When he comes back with entrees, I ask him for some new silverware. He walks away and goes, maybe. I then said what, You’ve got be kidding angrily. He then says we have a finite amount of silverware and our cooks are already doing dishes. I say well I have blonde hair on mine. Then my friend says there’s silverware on the table behind us just grab that. Then all of sudden he brings silverware and says that he didn’t mean that come out how he said it. Then after that, another 1/2 hour later, he brings extra gingerbeer as discussed above. Service was atrocious and inexcusable. What a bummer on the beginning of our entire night. We won’t ever come back, which sucks because we have a girl’s night once a month and it could have been a staple for us. I’ve attached a pic of the hair.

This place has a very exclusive vibe to it and definitely recommend a reservation to be made. A more luxury Mexican cuisine with a fun menu. Dim lit and different vibes in each section of the restaurant. A small bar and definitely more of a place to eat. On top of their selection of cocktails they have huge servings for your Mexican style entrees. Good for a small group or regular date night.
