    a menu for a mexican restaurant
    Cortney Y.

    Such great food we went 2 nights in a row lol ! So many different choices. Server isn't very attentive, but everyone is so nice in here. Had to go to the bar to get our waters refilled. The queso was sooooo good. My husband had Burrito Bandera & I had an enchilada and taco combo plate. Love the decor. Huge restaurant. Plenty of room for big party too. Great prices. Got seated right away. We will definitely be making this a weekly trip.

    A really great place that adds flavor to Perry. We hosted my family dinner here the night before my wedding s d the staff was so helpful and accommodating. I cannot speak highly enough if the food (everything here is amazing) or the delightful staff.

    Shrimp and Steak Fajitas with no veggies

    Normally dont post bad reviews as I understand the impact it can have on a restaurant but today after waiting over 45 mins to get our food I was in shock as to how little food was served. I ordered the Steak and Shrimp Fajitas without veggies because I dont really like onions/peppers that much. This plate is like $14/$15 and what you see in the picture is all I got. I made a taco (also seen in picture) that had a little bit of beef but the amount of meat they give you was so minimal that they didnt even bother to give it on the separate grill plate every restaurant usually uses. They slapped everything on the plate that is usually used to put only the beans, rice and lettuce with guac and sour cream. I been to various pther Mexican restaurants that probably give you more on a lunch fajitas special that costs $7/$9. This is an embarrassment of establishment. Only reason for the 2 stars is because their queso was good(sat for over 45 mins so I ate a lot of chips and queso).

    Casa De Oro in Perry, IA. I found everything we ordered to be super bland, the service to look bored, the beer not very cold and the space too big to be cozy. Not impressed with this mediocre TexMex place. A bonus is they automatically serve cheese dip with chips and salsa, and that was a nice touch.

    Quite the spacious restaurant. Popped in for lunch as we drove through town. The salsa served gratis is pretty good. The queso was an unexpected and welcome surprise. Ordered the lunch portion of enchilada mole ($6) with rice and beans and the burrito verde ($6.25) also with rice and beans. Both dishes were just OK. Mole was a red sauce and sweet without the complex flavors that often define a great mole sauce. Verde sauce also on the bland side. Beans were good. Rice was standard. Knowing that Perry has had spectacular Mexican cuisine in the past (at a different establishment), I was a bit disappointed by this experience. However, with their extensive menu, perhaps I made the wrong entree choices.

    My parents and I stopped by for a late dinner while we were in Perry. The chips come with both salsa and white queso, which is pretty rad. I had the chorizo burrito, and it was pretty good. They were not particularly busy, but for some reason the service was quite slow. We will most likely give this place another shot in the future, but I was not impressed by the staff.

    I'm a big fan of Casa de Oro! Reasonably priced Mexican comfort food. The warm chips, queso, and salsa as you sit down in the cozy booths and tables are a great indication of what's to come. The staff is friendly and helpful without being pushy. I like the fajitas, Casa de Oro burrito, and everything else I've tried. The whole place is clean and also surprisingly has a full bar. Pro tip: order the largest horchata of your life in the big mug!

    Yummy... Fajitas and nachos... Dining with Gop an Papa!

    Had the mini beer shot, just like the the ones in Cancun. Crab Rangoon with chicken is a great…read morepizza to try.

    Went here on the recommendation of three locals after working a basketball game. I misheard them…read moreat first; I thought they said "Tempe" and we were looking for a Mexican restaurant. Anyhow, we arrived and elected to sit at the bar versus a booth. Took a couple minutes to get noticed and we were asked to sit at the other end of the bar due to some clutter... Prices are very reasonable at this establishment. A flight was $7.50...if you were in WDM or Waukee, you would probably be looking at double that. They also brew their own beer and cider here; I'm not sure why that's not advertised heavier. Its called the "Gamble Block Brewery". I had Fear the Beard, the Baja Lager, the Maple Pumpkin Ale, and a cinnamon apple cider. The Maple pumpkin ale was delicious--the maple definitely hit on the back end. I was not a fan of the cider--they used a rather tart apple. The Fear the Beard (comparable to Blue Moon) and the Baja lager were OK. For food, I had the chicken tender basket with a 1/2 order of Texas Fries. I actually thought the ranch seasoning detracted from this dish--the queso was quite good and the bacon was plentiful. The downside to getting "sampler" versions of items was none of the accompaniments were included. My friend who got a full order of the Texas Fries was given sour cream with his food--mine did not. Also, on the beer sampler fruit wedges are served with the full size versions but not on the flight. The chicken tenders were very good and had the right breading/chicken ratio. The buffalo sauce packed a punch but was not obnoxiously spicy. The ranch that came with it was very good and was clearly made in-house. More of a 3.5 star review.

    About an hour and a half drive but well worth the trip!…read moreSaturday early afternoon and it was packed...about a half hour wait for seating was the only downside. Service was outstanding and the staff seemed to be handling multiple aspects of the jobs and helping each other out...no one just did one thing and I think that really sped up the service. Katie was our primary server and was outstanding! We ordered up a two and a three meat deal and had Campground Beans, Creamy Coleslaw, Cheesy Potatoes,, and Mac & Cheese as sides as well as a slice of Texas Toast and Cornbread as sides....oh, and Golden Corn Nuggets as an appetizer. The Corn Nuggets were good and sweet and served up with honey and a ranch sauce for dipping. The meat choices were 3) Ribs, Pork Loin, and Turkey Breast....and 2) Pork Loin and Turkey Breast. The smoke on everything was amazing and just the right amount for excellent flavors..the ribs were very meaty. Some places ribs leave you wanting but not at Watcha Smoking! The Pork Loin and the Turkey Breast were both very good as well...still tender and not dried out. I liked the Neck of the Woods sauce the best (mild tomato based) as well as the Carolina Gold sauce...it had nice kick to it. The sides were all good but the only issue was the Cheesy Potatoes were a bit dry.....I'm thinking that it must've been towards the end of the batch and had been sitting around for a bit. Cornbread was excellent, Texas Toast tops, Coleslaw was a good shredded, wet slaw, the Mac and Cheese very good, and the Campground Beans were the preferred side as they had some good chunks of smoked meats mixed in. Fantastic place, great for small groups and large groups as well...great food and great service...Definitely worth the trip!

    Really enjoyed the premier BBQ joint in the greater Des Moines area in my visit to Whatcha Smokin'…read morein the midst of a rural backdrop, this place was definitely worth the 45 minute trek from the state capital for delicious brisket, corn, slaw and sweet tea at a very affordable price. I appreciated the dual restaurant ambiance for a service side with waiters or a order at the register style. All BBQ restaurants have one or the other but not both. The meet was tender and juicy and as their name would suggest - smoked to perfection. I don't know if I'll find myself in Iowa ever again but if I do I will definitely make another pilgrimage to Whatcha smokin for the states best BBQ
