Sooo good. We love little authentic Mexican restaurants. This place is a hidden gem!
Asked some locals for good authentic Mexican fare and they recommended this spot. I had the chicken pozole soup, wow! I highly recommend it, it was a bit spicy for the average person, but I powered through because it was so delicious. Good portion size, with lime & tostada chips on the side, added them for a nice texture to the soup.
This is your place if you aren't looking for drive through convenience but you also don't care about atmosphere. It's a walk in, order, take to your table type of fast food with crazy good food. It doesn't look like much from the outside and when you first walk in you won't know what to think but keep on walking into the back where they take your food order and then enjoy the food. If you want a good fast Mexican lunch, this is it. This place reminded me of many similar places in the south when I'm on the road traveling. Very authentic.
Stopped in here for lunch on our way to Green Bay after reading the reviews on Yelp. I wasn't disappointed nor was I overly impressed. It was like I was was walking into a small restaurant in Guadalajara, Mexico not the US. The food tasted authentically Mexican, not Mexican / American, which we get in most Mexican restaurants in the US. I had the Fajitas with steak, it came with beans, lettuce, tomato, rice, sour cream, and three warm tortillas. My wife had the One Enchiladas plate, it came with beans, lettuce, tomato, rice, sour cream. We both agreed that the food was delicious. The service was very quick, maybe that is why they do not provide chips and salsa when they take your order. If I'm in Cedar Rapids and felt like Mexican food, I would go here.
service was 10/10. Food was made quickly after ordered and it was delicious. workers were very nice to customers. Would definitely go again!
