The food is absolutely amazing - best Mexican food I've ever had. Very fresh and flavorful with generous portions. In Marshalltown for business and I ate there 3 (!) times it was that good. The tropical salmon crunch bowl is full of fresh vegetables, perfectly grilled salmon and a crunchy slightly fruity sauce. Jody's shrimp tacos were packed with juicy shrimp and pineapple. Everything was sizzling hot and really fresh and flavorful. Highly recommend!

When Karaoke guy arrived, my niece said she didn't like him because he always skips over her and her friend so that he, his girlfriend, and other friends can sing. My cousin put his name down sixth on the night's list to sing Sweet Caroline. After obviously being passed over by numerous singers, he went up to look at the list to see his name was scribbled out. AVOID this place on Friday nights unless you're into hearing the same 5 or 6 people sing all night.

We were the first ones here, but it quickly filled up. Our servers were very attentive and friendly. We split an order of crab rangoons YUM! The lunch special included a choice of egg drop soup (very good) and hot & sour soup, an eggroll or crab rangoon and the entree. What they called an eggroll I would have called a spring roll. It was delicious! The egg drop soup was also very good. My husband had the Kung Pao Chicken, which he loved! I had the shrimp and broccoli. The shrimp was delicious! I should know better by now not to order broccoli. It's always too crisp/raw for me. The outside of the building shows that it used to be a bank many years ago. This was discovered during a tornado that tore through Marshalltown. I'm so glad they retained it and didn't cover it up again. The lunch specials are very reasonable!

Because it was very busy, I did have to wait some time for my order. But after riding all day, the AC and company of two other riders seated at my table (I asked them to join me), were much appreciated. Bobo tea was good (horchata) but the ice in the drink froze the tapioca, which was not ideal. Overall, very pleased, especially given the usual fare available on RAGBRAI.

This is a whole new level of quality for Marshalltown Mexican restaurants. I've eaten there 3 times…read moreso far - a weekday lunch, a weekday dinner, and a Saturday late dinner. I've had one or another of their seafood dishes each time. Sorry, without a menu in front of me I can't say which, but each time I was extremely satisfied. The seafood tastes very fresh, the sauce is awesome, and the guacamole is delicious (careful - it is spicy hot). I didn't care much for their salsa that was served with chips until the last time I was there. The first two times it tasted more like Italian marinara than Mexican Salsa. But someone must've said something because this last time it was good - slightly spicy, flavorful, and with lots of cilantro (my favorite). The service has been consistently wonderful. The two dinner times I've visited they were so packed it was difficult to find a parking space, but I didn't have to wait to be seated or to be served. Every waiter/waitress has been pleasant, speaks good English, and has been responsive to my needs. I like the fact that although you have a primary server, anyone from their serving team will come over and take dirty dishes, refill your drink, etc. When this place went in I said "Really?! ANOTHER Mexican restaurant in Marshalltown?!" but I'm so glad I tried it. I've tried most of the others and this is a whole new level in freshness, taste, cleanliness, and service. Someone may say "It's not authentic." I can't answer that. But I know it is friendly, delicious, and fairly priced. I miss Jax Steakhouse like most people in town, but I'm glad a great new place has gone in where our memories linger. I hope Plaza Mexico continues to be what it is as I know most new restaurants have trouble maintaining their original appeal.
