Marcos burritos (steak) were amazing...great rice...And the waitresses were Beautiful...Favorite Mexican restaurant ever!Ate there 8 times now and always got the same thing and always been excellent

Well place was clean I'll give them that. Asked server if we can order from lunch menu and was told we could. ( I'll get to that part little more in the review) orders the super tacos which said fried torts( was expecting taco like tasty tacos. Menu said lettuce cheese and tomato with choice of chicken or beef. Opted for one chorizo and two chicken. Asked no tomato. Waited for about 15 min. Got food. Was hard shell fried. Big let down. Tacos had grilled peppers which menu did not state that it came with. Not a fan of those. Chorizo was burnt and very unedible. Only ate rice. Did get my meal taken off from the rest of family. Got bill and noticed the prices were higher than what menu said. A woman working there said that's for lunch only prices. advised here the menu should reflect that or advise customers ordering on lunch menu will be higher In price for dinner. Woman kept saying it's on menu saying that and I kept trying to show her it does not say that all. Then she explains no other restaurants have the same price for dinner with lunch. And kept telling me it's on the menu to inform customers ( WAS NOT ON MENU) Last was very disrespectful and rude as ever! Never again eat there. One gentleman did come out of back door from kitchen and asked if everything was ok. He was only one that looked like he was more concerned then the lady was. Food in all was mediocre at best. Wife beef burrito tasted watered down seasoning on it. Buyer beware

Amazing food. Had the California burrito with chicken great flavor and sauce on outside. Chips were chips but the salsa was really good. Waitress was friendly and nice.

The food was alright but the waiter didn’t check up on us much, and forgot my silverware and drink. Had to ask a different waiter for refills, etc. I usually tip but because of the poor service I did not. Saw they took a three dollar tip out of my account and took out a five dollar tip from a friend of mine so be warned. They steal your money and tip themselves. At least in my one and last experience there.

Mine and my husbands first time there, and we will be back. Food is so awesome and very friendly staff.

The food was really good. The drinks were generously poured. The chips and salsa were fresh and delicious. He had the Mole and reported that it was excellent. I had chicken enchiladas Verde that was so good I wished I was a cow so I could have another stomach to be able to keep eating it. Our waitress was Marisa. She was great. She didn't hover, but checked on us often. The atmosphere was like a diner, but don't let that fool you. If this place had candles and table cloths, you would have trouble getting a reservation. We WILL be back.

We love this place and the food and drinks were amazing

This is a Hidden Gem when it comes to Mexican food. 5 stars is not good enough for this place the bathrooms are clean the wait staff is friendly the drinks are strong and good and the food is delicious. When it comes to Iowa and Mexican food this restaurants represents. I can't wait to come back.
