Heads up everyone! Germo-phobic's please avoid this place. :)…read more I am a big fan of this place. I was craving for Mexican food & my manager had suggested this place so went there. The best tacos in town I love their chicken chimichangas. The portion are of decent size for the price you pay. I call them as hotel version of the Taco Truck(It's a Mexican food truck). It also has the grocery store to buy Mexican groceries. My fav Jaritos you get all flavors & sometimes even big bottles. I buy fresh cilantro (Please wash them). I consider them to be the authentic mexican place in Cedar rapids.

Cheese? Also yes. Portion control? Absolutely not. And honestly? Respect. The Birria Tacos (aka post-workout happiness) These tacos are CRISPY. Like audible crunch. Golden, juicy, stuffed with slow-cooked beef that tastes like it's been marinating in flavor since 1997. And the consommé??? You dip it and suddenly you understand why people fall in love too fast. Served with: Mexican rice (carb loading but make it elite) Refried beans with melted cheese (fiber... we're calling it balance) A lime wedge for aesthetic health Would I eat this after leg day? Yes. Would I eat this before leg day? Also yes. The Smothered Burrito (aka the villain arc meal) It comes out sizzling like it's announcing its presence. Completely drowned in melted cheese. Sauce everywhere. Zero shame. You cut into it and it's just layers of juicy meat, sauce, and chaos. This is not a "cute little lunch." This is a "cancel your plans and commit" situation. Foodie Influencer Notes: Portions are HUGE (shareable but do you really want to?) Flavor is bold, rich, and comforting Not watered down, not bland, not pretending to be healthy This is real, messy, satisfying food Gym Girl Verdict: Is it high protein? Yes. Is it high calorie? Also yes. Is life about balance? Absolutely. You can meal prep chicken and rice all week... but sometimes you need birria dipped in consommé while telling yourself "this is for muscle growth." Final Rating: 9/10 - would absolutely earn this on the StairMaster again.

I have heard good things about this place so I wanted to give it a try. The place is very roomy,…read morealmost felt like I was in a school cafeteria. So, if you have a group I am sure they can accommodate. The margarita tasted a little like Mt Dew, so I guess you would say on the sweeter side. The chips were good tasted home made, and the salsa was also good, I have had better for my personal taste but it was still yummy. We had a chicken con polo (sp?) and it was good, again not our favorite in the area but still delicious and a generous portion. Staff was pleasant and I believe a manager or owner stopped by to see how we were doing which I felt was a nice touch. Good place to visit but not our regular Taco Tuesday venue.

The flavors were outrageous - everything tasted so fresh and delicious. Seriously, the guacamole was the freshest I've ever had - so green and perfect! And can we talk about the free chips and salsa? Such a nice touch, and they were delicious too! Seriously considering a detour next time we're in Iowa just for Moe's. Minneapolis needs a Moe's Southwest Grill in the worst way!
