had heard good things from this place, guess they were wrong…read more the steak had no flavor whatsoever, didn't taste like it had any seasoning. had ordered the tacos and i didn't even finish them. my wife had the chicken tacos and she's been throwing it up all morning. even the tres leches cakes was ass. only good thing they had was the horchata.

When I am in town for work I like to eat local when I can and found this place highly rated through…read moreYelp and google so I thought I would give it a shot. I got the chips and queso and a steak quesadilla. Both were delicious. Although it was a week night and seemed busy, the service was quick so I was in and out in less than an hour which was great. They have a lot of different options on their menu so there is something for everyone!

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.

Great food, prices and service…read more Drinks are poured strong and worth the prices. Food was amazing. The Texas fries for an appetizer is a must get. The steak is tender and the most flavorful I've had in a long time. The cheese dip here is phenomenal. You won't be disappointed!

I also tried the Papas Con Carne De Res (Steak and Potato) Gordita and this was pretty disappointing. They FORGOT to add potato and the gordita was just too thick. Needed a better meat-to-masa ratio.
