What people say about Our Mexican Food.
"The barrel margaritas are the best item for sure! This is the Santa Fe Fajitas which were very good. Sometimes they have the Guacomole cart which is for sure the best time to order it!"
Grant, Cedar Rapids
"The gf and I had fajitas, i had chicken and she had steak, very delicious... the onions were nicely carmelized, the chicken and steak were seasoned nicely as well as juicy and tender. I ordered extra tortillas bc they never give you enough. She had the huge margarita and I had the big one, we barely finished the tastiness."
Som, Hiawatha
"Stopped in after lunch. Not busy. Very clean and cozy. Had the lunch chicken Fajitas and my girlfriend had the crab enchiladas. Both were delicious. Also shared the chips and salsa (not spicy)with a side order of queso. A little runny but tasted very good. Good sized portion for being a lunch order so I was surprised by that. Left fat and happy! We will be going back again soon!"

"Great experience! I was leary about ordering from someplace new to me but I'm so glad I tried it! I love chicken mole but it has to be just right... and I haven't found it anywhere since I moved from Denver. This was perfect... Uber Eats delivered and it was timely and well packed and HOT yet when I got it. The food was delicious and portions were large... definitely enough for two meals and I didn't even eat the chips and salsa that came with. Don't forget to order the guacamole too... it was fresh and obviously homemade! Thanks El Paraiso!!"
