“ The staff was friendly. The prices were appropriate. The food was hot and fresh. My wife and I had fajitas. My steak was slightly overcooked but not unreasonable. My wife’s chicken was spot on. We asked for a small bowl of refried beans for our 14 month old to come out first to start feeding him. Staff was fast at accommodating. The queso and salsa were tasty. Would recommend! ”
“ Great place to enjoy a leasurely meal with family. A little loud because of the lack of sound dampening. They need more help. The poor single waiter was running like a chicken with it's head cut off. ”
“ don’t understand why everyone’s saying he’s rude he really isn’t, he busted his ass off 1000000000% everyday and makes the food so delicious!!! Very underrated place and I’m happy me and my boyfriend re-found out this place after their food truck ! ”
“ I took my order to go. Customer service was very efficient and the employee was friendly. I got a dinner burrito and cheese dip. The burrito was a 10/10 for size, fillings, taste, temperature and appearance. I was so full that I did not try the cheese sauce with the chips. ”
“ Nice Mexican restaurant in an old style Pizza Hut building. It's amazing how much larger it seems than a Pizza Hut. There's 2 separate seating areas. Both are nice. We were served right away after ordering off the lunch menu which was more food than I expected and pretty good. Their burritos are gigantic. The pictures show the lunch burrito ranchero (ordered without cheese) and the lunch chicken fajitas. ”
“ A small decent taqueria in a small town in Iowa. A great place for quick service. The servers are friendly and quick to bring your food out when you are stoned on a comfortable cloudy Saturday in the winter time. The place is surprisingly small and dead on a Saturday at 11. Not covered in interior decor but a pleasant place to be. A recommended dish to try I got for myself. Carne Asada a la Diabla. Covered in hot sauce for a nice comfortable rear end feeling later. Before this awesome cuisine is chips and salsa. Have lots of water on hand to keep it down. A great meal to satisfy your hunger. For three people with the same dish comes out around 45 dollars with 20% tip. Not bad at all. ”
“ The chips were good the salsa was really good fresh and a bit of heat. Really good salsa.The mixed fajita with cheese was really good and an abundant amount. Hat sauce could of been a bit hotter. The refried beans were really good. Everyone liked all of their dishes enchiladas Mexicano, burritos and steak and enchilada. It was my daughter's birthday and they even gave us a special treat for her. As many restaurants, you could tell that they could use a couple more good staff to help out, but the gentleman who waited on us was running the register as well. He gave 100% even though he could have definitely used an extra hand. He kept a smile on, was cordial and decent even though being overwhelmed with tasks to take care of. The restroom was clean! Like really clean. N ”
