This community had diversity opposed to every other adjacent redneck towns. Maybe I ordered the wrong thing but the enchilada rice and other things was nothing special or was the piña colada that felt no alcoholic. With all that being said, I thought it would at least be cheap but the prices were the same as Iowa City the drinks eight dollars in the meal about 15.

My spouse picked up the food and we ordered extra for leftovers. The Chicharrones are tasty with the skin extra extra crispy and the meat chunks were tasty with some smaller chunks drier but overall would order them again. The guacamole super good in general and goes well with the chicharrones. We ordered tamales which we are saving for tomorrow. The choripollo and chile relleno were good.

Today I stopped by this Mexican restaurant with a friend to buy sodas and food. From the moment we…read morewalked in, the owner (wearing a red shirt) was extremely rude and inappropriate. He asked if I spoke Spanish, and when I said I didn't, he began mocking me in Spanish. After we sat down, his behavior became worse. He laughed with another man and made insulting and vulgar comments about us. He repeatedly told me to "eat shit," which was completely uncalled for and disrespectful. He also stared at us in a sexual and uncomfortable way, checking our bodies the entire time, while continuing to talk badly about me as if I couldn't understand. This experience was humiliating and unacceptable. No one should be treated this way for not speaking a language or for simply being in a restaurant. I haven't been here in years, and the one time I decided to come back, I was met with harassment and hostility. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

Carmen, his wife, was an excellent cook and we are grateful to have found their little restaurant! The pork burrito was everyone's favorite. It was full of flavor.

We will be back despite the hour and a half drive.
