But it's all of us know every cook has their own way of Preparing the meals. In our case we ordered chicken fajitas. The seasoning was lighter than what we were expecting. Not bad just not what we were expecting for chicken fajitas. We sat inside in the back but on our way out we noticed they had an outside deck and people sitting out there and enjoying themselves. The ambience would've been better on the outside would have to remember that if we were gonna come back. Bottom line: you should check it out and form your own opinions. For us we check the box but when we're craving Mexican we're looking for a little more seasoning. Maybe it was an off night. Will have to give it a try again next time we're in the area.

I could've done without Pitbull's greatest hits in the background but you can't have everything! The food is great. The queso fundido has a great flavor with great consistency. My friend enjoyed his seafood chimichanga. My chori pollo was good, the chicken could've been a little better but the queso and chorizo on top was great as before. The Mexican rice is fantastic, not clumpy. The beans are about as good as Mextizo's - I'd come back to get the rice and beans by themselves. The chips are thick and crunchy with mild salsa, you have to ask for their hotter salsa. The problem with a bad margarita is that it can possibly spoil good food. The problem with a watered down margarita is when it hits your table, that's the best it's going to taste, as the longer it sits the more watered down it gets. You could taste the tequila, sort of, but that's it. The mix they use as the basis of their margarita may be good but there's not enough of it. I didn't finish mine. My friend finished his. The service is a little slow so give yourself extra time when you come here. Overall a positive experience. Next time I come, I'll give myself extra time to eat, I'll come for the food and skip the margaritas.

I do not care if there is an increase in prices because of what is happening right now, but 775 for one taco is absolutely ridiculous. We got seven tacos, one chile relleno and an order of beans a whopping $75. I go to restaurants as everyone knows all over I must say that a really true Mexican restaurant with the best tacos and excellent price is and always will be the Regia in Iowa City: el viejo is excellent as well. I had my birthday party there. It was $200 to feed 13 people now that is an excellent place.

Pros: Tasty, authentic food, Price Cons: Service…read more Summary: The food is great but please read the detailed review all the way to the end. Details: This is a really tough one. I ate here last week and the food was amazing as always. It's the third time that I've been here in the last year and this place has completely transformed for the better. Most of what is now the restaurant used to be part of the grocery store. Now they have booths and it has decent restaurant style seating. The location is great - strip mall on centerpoint road. The restaurant/grocery store isn't the cleanest but it's decent. Most of the items on the menu are really cheap. I have to agree with everyone else when they say that this place is authentic. So far, I have tried their tortas, burritos and enchiladas and I've loved it every single time. In order to keep costs low, I've seen that they're foregone the chips and salsa which used to be part of the meal in the early days. If it was up to the food alone, I'd give this place 5 stars. For instance, last week I had their cheese smothered enchiladas with beef which was still really crispy when I cut into them. The service was fair and although it took them 15 minutes to serve us initially, the food was out in 15 minutes after we put in the order. All that being said, there is something else that I need to mention on here too. At lunch last week my friend had the chilaquiles and he came down with a bad case of food poisoning - listeria. It is possible that the food here and nothing to do with it, but I'd feel very responsible if I didn't even mention it on here. Now, I was completely fine after eating the beef enchiladas, and both times before then. It is possible that he contracted it from something else that he ate/drank that week, but this was one of the foods he ate outside of his normal diet. When I asked him if he enjoyed the food and if he'd come back, it was a yes!
