Table side guacamole is really good. And huge portions. We ended up splitting a meal because there is just so much food.

My favorite Mexican restaurant in CR. Carnitas are outstanding, and the service is always friendly. Most nights the vibe is like a family-friendly party. Be sure to ask for guacamole made fresh at your table.

Went for lunch with 2 boys and my sister. She had a craving for Mexican and she hadn't been there in awhile. It was about $14 per person minimum. Went on Saturday so no lunch specials... I had the 5 enchiladas burger cheese chicken and beef tips. The beef tips were good. They're marinated in tomato and onion sauce. One son had the chimichangas.We were almost the first group there for lunch. Quiet. too... quiet. anyway last time I'd been there the overhead music was so loud I could hardly hear my wife. So it was different this time. Good. About 15 minutes after we got there someone turned on the music. Yep it was loud. Maybe they turned it down later maybe my hearing is better now but I could later hear my family talking.I liked my enchiladas. Thought I'd take some home for leftovers by my stomach said otherwise so those are gone. Kids took leftovers home. Ok place. Not my favorite but ok.

Loved the drinks by far the biggest drink of my life and a good price food is good too i think the chips could be more fresh but definitely recommend this place

definitely!! our family Christmas meal was here and got the steak quesadilla and a queso dip, bloody marvellous!! and the cocktails and drinks were good too ! miss this place greatly??

Great food and even better service!!!! Favorite place to eat in Cedar Rapids.

Margarita was too sweet, syrup was excruciating not authentic. Fajitas were burned and didn't come with the flour tortillas, had to ask several times.

Went to lunch with my mom. Food was good and rhe staff was friendly. Only issue we had was that their credit/debit card machine wasn't working so we had to pay with cash. I personally don't carry cash so this would have been a problem, if not for my mom.

Food was good. It did take a little longer than to be served food than anticipated, unsure if due to staffing, as not super busy

The chips and salsa sucked, but our main courses were excellente!! Oh, and the draught beer was ice cold and purrfect!Minus a star for the chips & salsa.
