The meeters and greeters were great. The counter cleanliness and neatness were poor. The meal and Margherita were pretty close to lousy. Two FYIs: visited on Cinco de Mayo and I just moved from the southern Texas area. I will not be going back. read more

Amazing food, Service was quick and friendly with a comforting atmosphere. Food was perfectly cooked and we had some of the best quesadillas we've ever had. 10/10 recommend! read more

Update: since moving here almost a year ago, this is the only Mexican restaurant I genuinely get excited about so needless they've managed to keep this customer happy with their food and service. They recently expanded, maybe within the last two or three months, and since then their wait times have significantly decreased, including a busy Friday night. My favorite dishes are their chIcken fajitas, taquitos and sopes, including their rice, beans, and salsa--like I legit will order a side of beans every time to eat with my chips and salsa. Hope this helps anyone looking for a yummy Mexican spot. read more

Went for the first time last night and it will DEFINITELY NOT be the last - we may even go back today! Absolutely beautiful inside and very clean (apparently recently remodeled). For a Tuesday night I couldn't believe how busy it was. Every table looked to be filled but we didn't have to wait at all. The entire staff were working HARD. The hostess, those serving and bussing tables, the bar tender, every body was working at a fast pace. They obviously do a great to-go business too because I saw several orders waiting to be picked up. Margs were BOMB, the food was AMAZING - probably the best shredded beef I've ever had. My daughter said it was the best quesadilla she's ever had. The homemade chips and salsa SLAPPED. The chips were not the flimsy shatter-when-you-bite, overly-salted ones that other places have. These were warm, thicker non salty chips which were perfect for the homemade salsa with the perfect amount of heat to it. We can't wait to go back and try more! read more

Finally writing a review after all the times I've gone! This is our favorite local place! Tonight we went in for dinner and got seated in the new expanded section. Service was impeccable! Food was delicious as usual. My husband ordered the seafood enchiladas. I had the street tacos! Delicious!! If you haven't been... you need to go!! read more

Stopped in to find some familiar faces! Carlos recommended the bacon wrapped cheese stuffed jumbo shrimp and WOW! They were amazing. Not on the menu, but absolutely fantastic so be sure to ask for them! Hubby had a chicken enchalada dish that was also excellent. Great cheese dip and salsa as well. We will DEFINITELY be back!!! read more

It was nice and busy on an early Sunday evening! I was shocked at the amount of people in here. We just came for a drink to scope it out and sat at the bar. Kyle was the bartender and very friendly. Chips were warm, not salty, salsa was good. I ordered a Cadillac margarita (they didn't know what that is - but most Midwest places don't - that's the California girl in me ) and it was made with a smoky tequila! Wow Smokey is right so only get Smokey tequila if Yoo-hoo like smoked stuff. They have 15 beers on tap, frosty mugs so that's a plus. I hope they succeed because it's a nice close walk I. The summer time! read more

Casa de Ojos Locos - Mexican Near Me - Cedar Rapids, Iowa

Good food and service. The restaurant both indoors and outdoors is very clean and welcoming, and wait staff was attentive and friendly. Food was good, not mind blowing but good. Out of five different meals, no one in my family said they didn't like their food. I felt the meat needed seasoning, as the ground beef and chicken were pretty bland. Dishes with seafood comes with white rice, which was a little strange but husband said it was good. If you like margaritas, this is your place as they have an extensive selection. I had the skinny marg and it was good, but tasted like a mix. I imagine the other flavors are much better than the skinny though. I would recommend this spot for drinks with friends! read more

During my last visit, we were greeted by the sweetest hostess and I haven't had one negative experience with a server. All that I've had are friendly, attentive (but not too much) and such pleasant personalities. The food is satisfying and I love the salsa options beyond what they bring for the chips. Their green salsa has great flavor and I like to kick it up a notch and get their spicier red. It's not the closest to me, but worth the drive. read more

They have been open a month so were very busy Saturday, February 1st. The wait wasn't bad. We had margaritas, his was an original on the rocks, my choice was frozenstrawberry. Both were good. I had the three amigos which was very tasty. He had chili Verde. He loved the flavors a lot. Our waiter was nice, funny and gave us time and didn't forget about us even though they were really busy. We will be back! read more

Food is good but very sneaky how they charge a "non cash adjustment" without telling you that before they swipe the credit card . I have never ever seen that done before ..... I have had some business TELL YOU that if you use a credit card there is an extra charge BUT it has never been in a food restaurant !!!! I won't be going back just because they are not honest. What other "charges" are they adding in on people that don't know it ? read more

We love the Tuesday 10 Taco special and were getting it quite frequently. We have even told several people about the special and how good it is. However, the last 2 times I have called, someone picks up and immediately says please hold. After 25 minutes I hang up and try to call back, but the call will not go through. Unfortunately we will not be ordering again. read more

The worst service ever - and cold food. I'm sorry but not everything can be blamed on "Covid". If you're short staffed then change your hours or quite frankly, close your business. But don't stay open, provide terrible service, and expect people to be patient and grateful. There are plenty of restaurants with better food and better service who apparently are still able to stay staffed. That's where I will be spending my money. read more

So. Food good yes. But service - much to learn and not overselling what they can do. Guy ahead of me waited 45 minutes for me p minutes order read more

Best Mexican restaurant in town! The food and margaritas are amazing. The white queso, fajita nachos and fiesta skillet are a few of our favorites. Haile, Ozzy and Emily were our servers yesterday and they did an awesome job. Will come back often! read more

We have returned 4 times in the past month. Amazing fajitas with a great variety, enchiladas and chimichangas all are great. Everything has been excellent including the service each time. This is our go to for Mexican and highly recommend it. read more

Favorite New Mexican joint in town. Jalapeño marg is fresh and fireeeee Tried the Ozzy, Strawberry and classic marg as well. All perfect. My favorite on the menu is the pollo con arroz. Delicious. Fun atmosphere and I love the beautiful murals on the wall. read more

Good food. Low rating due to the fact multiple times have gone in and waited 10+ minutes until a worker came with menus and to ask our drink orders read more

If I am being honest the wait for your food is not worth it. For me service will greatly impact my opinion of the food and with how slow they tend to be it ends up spoiling the food for me. The biggest redemption is the fact that their margs are very strong. If my wife did not love this restaurant I would never be back. read more

Absolutely hands down the best Mexican restaurant I have ever been to in the Midwest! We live in the Quad Cities and we're staying in Cedar Rapids for the weekend at an Airbnb. Our host highly recommended this place and we are happy she did! They were very busy but we had a table within a few minutes. Ordered chips and queso and wow!! Yum factor off the charts and perfect consistency of the queso. I got the pineapple chicken which was very good. There was A LOT of cheese on it which I ended scraping off but it was so juicy and flavorful! Good beans and rice too! My hubby got the steak fajitas and loved them! He couldn't finish and we were able to take the rest with us. Then to top it off, we had 2 teenage girls with us who are very picky and begged us to come again soon as they loved their food! Seriously, amazing all the way around! Service was great and even though they were slammed, we had everything we needed! Thank you!!! read more

Called to set a reservation for 11 they said it was no problem and would have it ready, went in about 10 minutes after I called and gave my name and they did not have anything ready with the owner telling me and my wife if we called less than 20 minutes there would be a wait but was told differently over the phone. Food is great service is bad at times read more

This place is so amazing! I'll start by saying the chips were so authentic and fresh!! I took some to go, largest selection of specialty tacos, like ever!!! I had the tacos el Jorge !! Deliciousness!! Check them out you won't be disappointed and awesome margaritas! Top notch service. I'll be back, smooches read more

Stopped in for lunch on a Saturday and it was busy when we walked in. The hostess greeted us right away and allowed us to sit where we requested to. She delivered the chips and salsa ASAP. The chips and salsa were very good and fresh! Waiter came and greeted us right away and we ordered drinks. I like just a regular margarita on the rocks and it was good. I ordered two chicken tacos al a carte - the cilantro onion and guacamole flavors were so good! My husband thought the burrito he ordered would be bigger but I believe the majority of restaurants have huge portion sizes. Service was great, food had flavor and we had a great experience! read more

Have successfully been able to order over the phone several times since my last review.

We've been here twice and both times service was super slow. The second time it took an hour for food (not during peak business hours). The high chair we were given the clip was broken. I was holding my child while in it and he scooted forward and almost slipped out. He would've if my hand wasn't on him. I took him out and ate my meal then caught the waitress and asked for a new one. Took her 10 mins enough time for me to finish my meal to get a new one. Then we asked for the bill and this took another 15 mins. Not the best situation with a tired one year old and a 2 hour time at the restaurant. We also let the owner know the high chair was broken just so someone else wouldn't use it and he didn't care in the slightest bit. read more

Great vibe and in popular demand kind of Mexican place. Good for everyday sit down, just a quick lunch or evening out with friends. Generous portion sizes, typical 'Mexican' fare and very LIMITED vegan options despite advertising differently. Not a bad place but nothing special either. read more

We stopped by hoping for a nice dinner. Service was terribly slow. Over an hour and we were still waiting on our food. The management did not handle the situation at all well. Never going back!!!! read more

I originally had a great review, but sadly the last few times haven't been that great. Just left after waiting 15 minutes with no one helping us. Had a family of 5,one being a baby and when I asked for a highchair I was met with a rude you'll have to wait. While holding my baby in the middle of foot traffic. I brought many of my coworkers to this establishment when it first opened and they fed many of our healthcare workers. Sad I will not be coming back. Just got up and left! read more

Enjoyed trying this new Mexican establishment with a good friend of mine. We came on a Friday evening and waited about 15 minutes beefier being seated (so not too bad of a wait), however there technically isn't a "waiting area" so you stand among the tables and booths of people trying to enjoy their dinner. Once seated we felt a little rushed to make our drink and dinner entrees, but the drinks came quick and the chips and salsa were great! I had the house margarita... it was ok, a little watered down. For dinner I had the quesadilla al pastor. The presentation of my entree was lackluster (many other Mexican places top the quesadilla with a drizzle of sauce, lettuce, etc. I did enjoy the flavors of the salty pork with the sweet pineapple, but it didn't exactly "wow" me. My friend tried the steak fajitas and loved how they sizzled when they were presented to her, but felt there were more peppers than meat in her entree. Overall it was ok. I have a few other Mexican establishments in CR that I prefer over this one. Maybe I'll check back in a few months to see if any wrinkles have been ironed out. read more

I reallllllly wanted to like this place! It is close to our house and had talked to others who had great service. We went in with high hopes...that were soon dashed! We were there on a Saturday night, and expected to wait, but there really is not any place to wait. You are either standing next to a table with people eating their food, or standing near the door with people coming and going. We had about a 15 minute wait and notice that the host had a dishwasher silverware tray full of silverware that he was supposed to be rolling into napkins, and they were out in the open with everyone giving their name to the host leaning in and over the clean silverware. But if that was not bad enough one of the servers came up to the host's stand and used the tray of clean silverware as an arm rest!!! Once we were seated it did take a really long time to get our food, long enough our server asked us not to leave! When our food arrived it had good flavor, and nice sized portions. however my husband said you think the silverware was bad...you don't want to know where they get their chips....they were all in a 55 gallon garbage can on the floor in an area where the customer can see them, and wait staff were walking pass with food and dirty dishes. They have some work that needs to be done. Not sure that we will be back. read more

it sucked the food was cold there was hair in my tocos and there is bad service and I am not coming back ever

Best place ever! I am here about twice a week and always have a good experience! Good host , servers and bartenders! but most importantly good food !!! read more

Good food and drinks every time we have been, service is always super friendly too. Some favorites of ours are the chimichanga and shrimp tacos! read more

I've heard a lot of good things about Mas Margaritas and it lives up to its reputation! I went on a Saturday evening at 7 and it was packed. Sat at bar and got good service. Margaritas were delicious and consistent and food was good. Would give 5 stars but my order was wrong - didn't complain because it was still very good! Would come again read more

Great drinks, great service, overall amazing National Margarita Day!

Tables were filthy, service was sub par cuisine was meh. Heard this was supposed to be a good place, thought maybe we'd caught them on a bad day but it was even worse when we gave them a second try. Won't be a third tome read more

Amazing service low wait even though it was packed, margaritas were amazing strong not just paying for marg mix. Food was delicious.

My wife and I have now dined here twice and each time we have had good service. The food came hot on hot plates and was as good as expected, maybe more than expected. I order the Chicken Burrito Grande the green chile salsa was spicy just like I like it. My wife being vegetarian had the Veggie Fajitas and must have liked it for she cleaned up her plate and raved about the Margarita. In our younger days, we wintered in Arizona and must say this is close to what we have eaten in the southwest. Hope the food and service do not change as this restaurant was very busy for it being past the diner hour when we were there! read more

We really enjoyed our first trip to Mas Margaritas and glad to have a good Mexican Restaurant in the neighborhood. Our order included fajitas, ceviche, carnitas and chorizo queso. All of which were just as good and possibly better that any other Mexican restaurant in town, especially the ceviche, queso, salsa and the flour tortillas that came with the carnitas. Our service was good - no complaints at all! As with any new establishment the staff and kitchen are honing in on their craft...be patient and kind! read more

This is a great place. Long overdue for Cedar Rapids. Excellent food . Superb service from my new best friend-Sergio. He knows the menu well and my date and I had outstanding experience from start to finish. Can't wait to go back Dave read more
