My new favorite Mexican resteraunt! Mario was our server and he was great! Food was delicious and reasonably priced. We got the California burrito, chicken chimicanga fajitas, chicken fajitas, and the Pollo Loco, all of it was great. Definitely recommend.
The food portions here are decent and the flavor is pretty good. The service and atmosphere make this place, though. On the night we dined in, the host was very pleasant and the server was very knowledgeable and assisted us making a fine choice from the menu. We did not drink this night, but the bar seemed to be pretty well stocked and a popular place to be. Would recommend to anyone who appreciates good Mexican cuisine.
We came in today for the first time (for a late lunch). Place was clean. Nice atmosphere. Friendly wait staff. Huge portions with good flavor. Husband had steak fajitas and I had the chicken fajitas. Cedar Rapids hidden gem. We will definitely be back!
So much food! I had fajitas, my wife had fajita quesadilla, and our 5 year old had the kids quesadilla. The adults really enjoyed our food but the kids quesadilla and fries were not a hit.
Amazing burritos and the ceviche is TO DIE FOR!! Tonight we added the chicken fajita quesadilla with shrimp to our order... equally amazing!!
As someone born and raised on Mexican food in California I cannot say enough good things about this restaurant. The food is always amazing! The drinks no matter what you get will always satisfy. The staff is extremely welcoming. I believe they have karaoke Friday and Saturday nights. I highly recommend the Pastor Tacos with a Horchata or Michelada. But hey, why not both?
Everything about this place was great. The staff was so friendly. The place was very clean. The food was very fresh and large portions. My only not 5 start comment would be that our 2 dinners didn't have much seasoning.. the meat in the fajitas and the chimi were lacking flavor... Their salsa helped pep up the flavor though.
My wife and I went there for the first time and were pleasantly surprised by the very nice atmosphere. Nice and clean. Friendly and attentive wait staff We ordered chicken fajitas and steak fajitas. Both were very delicious. Price point is great. We will be going back.
