This restaurant just opened up about a month ago, so they are very new. The wait staff was very…read morefriendly. You get a basket of chips and a bowl of salsa when you are seated which was very nice. The salsa was very good, not spicy at all, which I prefer more spice but for those who don't prefer a lot it was good. I had a chicken chimichanga which came with Spanish rice, refried beans and the lettuce and tomatoes on the side. The chimichanga has a white cheese cream sauce on top. This place is clean, it is an older building so it's expected to have flaws. There is a good sized bar just past the seating area. I will be going again soon, so I will try more food and update this post.

The steak quesadilla was phenomenal, tacos al pastor were flavorful, chicken burrito and enchiladas were top notch. My kiddos love the beans/rice.

This is the best Mexican food I have had in the state of Iowa. I do have high expectations of my…read moremexicain food, but I am rating this is regards to my other experiences at mexicain restaurants only in Iowa. The service was quick. The waiter brought us water, margaritas, chips and salsa and our food very quickly. We were a large party and they got all of our orders correct. Certain dishes had a nice spice to them. I would consider the rice and beans, very standard for this area, but the main portion of the meal was good. I found the chips and salsa to be tasty. The margarita pitcher tasted as if it came from a Jose Cuervo or equivalent margarita mix, but it was good enough for the occasion.

I really appreciated the kindness and friendly attitude of who I assumed was the manager or owner. He helped make our experience enjoyable. I had the shrimp ceviche and managed to eat the whole plate. The burritos looked amazing. There was a large seating area all indoors. It looked clean and inviting. The only downside was the salsa was a little thinner than I prefer but that is a personal preference which would not keep me from coming back another day.
