TI've been coming here for the past year and every experience has been amazing. I hope that everyone can have as good of a time as I did!!!
The restaurant is beautiful. Lots to look at and admire. I had lunch there today and my fish tacos were superb, and so was my margarita and the chips with 3 different types of salsa. Recommended.
Ambience is great. The plants are all living and impressive. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable. We ordered house margaritas with tajin, guacamole, sope, enchiladas. All delicious! Great addition to downtown Iowa city. We will be back.
My husband and I went here for a date night and it was amazing!!! We recently moved from California where good Mexican food is everywhere and this is by far the best we've had in Iowa City...
We have been here 3 times and love the authentic food! The guacamole is fantastic and we devoured the Queso Fundido...
