Just as a personal preference I'd like to see some greens on top but maybe this is how they make these things back home. upper dater: got some tacos the other day and they were so good that we're back to 5-stars. thinking a lack of familiarity with the 'torta' may have clouded my second assessment, sorry folks.

Love the authentic food and choices! Prices are reasonable and the the service is fast!read more

I want to start by saying this restaurant was recommended by the hotel I was staying at. My first…read moreimpression was not good. The outside it looks like 2 separate buildings put together and it needs a paint job. When I walked in you find yourself in an a large empty white room, that is overly bright, with one old table and to the left is the check in cashier area. I almost turned around and left but again this was recommended so I decided to stay. The hostess didn't speak much English but said to seat myself and pointed to the next room. This is where the restaurant actually is. The room was much nicer and has dimmed lighting and booths and tables. They give chips and salsa for free at the table. I believe it was all home made. The chips were a bit bland and the salsa was not very flavorful either. I order Queso dip to go with it. The dip was ok but not even a hint of spicy flavor (which is something I would expect from "authentic" Mexican food. I ordered a fajita quesadilla which came with rice and beans on the side. Again I was underwhelmed, the flavors were decent but there was little to no spice and it had way to much shredded cheese. Overall I would say it was just ok. If you like Mexican food when it's not spicy at all this place will be awesome to you. I want to add it's not like I eat jalapeños hand habaneros all the time, I just expect SOME spice when eating Mexican food. The price was very reasonable.

This restaurant was a pleasant surprise to find in a small Iowa town…read more The decor was nothing special, but their food and margaritas easily made up some difference. Our table ordered three different margaritas that were all excellent and their chips tasted like they had been made fresh that morning. Their mild and hot salsas were also very fresh and homemade, as well as their cheese dip. This restaurant had one of the better Chili Colorado's that I have ever had. The other people in my party also loved their food (large shrimp cocktail and pollo la creama) as well. We all would highly recommend giving this restaurant a shot and you will be pleasantly surprised as well.

They serve authentic street tacos and authentic birria tacos and quesadillas that make you realize that the taste of Southern California cuisine resides within the area. And their homemade guacamole is also top notch. If you're anywhere near the area, you should definitely try this gem. Most highly recommended!
