    Beef fajitas.
    Terry S.

    Above average food with more ten enough served. Love the decor with its murals on the walls. Servers are friendly and fast.

    Country Skillet
    Tamiya B.

    Me and my husband went here for lunch on a Saturday morning around 11. We got there and found they were serving breakfast. I went with a country skillet, my husband went with the chili Verde skillet. The wait was very fast. Our server was so attentive and thoughtful, bringing ketchup and hot sauce. The music was at the perfect volume. The vibe was chill. The food came out with steam rolling off of it! My toast my actually crispy! It was really good. Next time I will ask for corn tortillas though. I would say this is a must try if you're wanting sometime fast and fresh that's flavor will really blow your mind. When I ordered a breakfast skillet I did not expect to enjoy such fresh ingredients, so fast and also taste amazing. I can't wait to come back for dinner.

    Steak fajita omelet with hash browns and toast
    Betty Jason K.

    Went on Sunday for breakfast and all I can say is WOW! Everything we had was amazing. I started with a caramel macchiato which was surprisingly smooth and tasted on point! We ordered the bacon breakfast quesidilla, lemon blueberry pancakes and the fajita omelet with steak. The portions were huge. The pancake was literally the best I've ever had (and Im a pretty good cook myself)). The quesidilla was perfection with the thin layer of beans! The omelet had the most tender steak and was so flavorful! The service was top notch! Was pretty busy when we first arrived but was surprised how it slowed down by 10:30. This place has a copy atmosphere and I could have stayed all day! Highly recommend and will keep going for breakfast.

    Make a point to stop at Cafe Tacuba. Don't miss out on their wonderful lunch specials--a great bargain. Our server didn't mention them, but brought the menu over when we asked. Includes a soda and chips. Phenomenal bargain. Everything was so incredibly fresh, and the presentation was beautiful! Truly an unexpected surprise. Full bar available. The space is very pretty with beautiful murals and plants.

    Breakfast Chimi's and Kori's skillet with toast.  Latte's: spicy Mexican mocha latte and dulce de leche latte.

    Per usual, our food was very good! It was hot, delicious and had nice presentation. Service was very good and our lattes were so yummy. We will definitely be back. They have a lot of choices on the menu.

    Chilaquiles
    Vijay S.

    We came for breakfast and got seated immediately. The server was pleasant and friendly. I got chilaquiles with green salsa which was very flavorful and filling. They also have several additional hot sauces available (I got Valentina). Price was very reasonable for the portion. Of note, their refried beans have meat in them but their black beans don't.

    I have been to this place twice and although it is still new I think they are doing all the right things. Service may be a little slow but we hardly were without a drink for long. The servers are polite and helpful. They have specials for happy hour and on Taco Tuesday. I was not able to find a website but they are advertising on Facebook. The place fills up with the after work crowd but it never got too loud. The room is well lit (except for that one lightbulb on the left of the bar that kept flashing both times I visited). The decorations are very nice and appropriate for the decor. There is a full bar and a good selection of adult beverages. The chips taste freshly made and come out warm, with a good salsa accompanying them. A must try!

    Mexican Vegan Bowl
    Ethan M.

    If you are looking for a traditional Mexican dining experience, this is not the place. I would describe it as modern Mexican American. The music and the atmosphere is very "hip". The Mexican Vegan Bowl was amazing, robust and full of flavor. The portion size was way too big though. I learned that the hard way... I love that they have plenty of vegan and vegetarian options too. I would highly recommend it. Just get a box for your leftovers!

    Drink Menu

    Upon walking in the restaurant looked nice and the vibe seemed mellow. We sat down ordered our food and 20 minutes later upon originally ordering our food they come out and tell us that unfortunately they were all out of the dish one of us were ordering. So we had to scurry and look their the menu again asking what was available and that's when I chose to order the aguachile. Honestly if it weren't for the food tasting amazing I would have definitely been more upset that they spent so much time before hand without telling us that my dish was unavailable.

    El Americano
    Eli C.

    This place does not disappoint. I've come for dinner a few times, but the breakfast looked great, so I wanted to try it too. Came for breakfast on a Monday around 9AM. Not too many people so we were seated right away. Service was fast and food was great! Huge menu and there is something for everyone whether you want a traditional eggs, bacon/sausage, and pancakes or something with Mexican flavors. I'd recommend the Sunrise Bowl with eggs, black beans, carnitas, salsa, and avocado. Adding hot sauce made it spectacular. Try it out!

    Veggie burrito
    Nicole S.

    This spot is cozy, casual, and delicious! We visited for a girls' night out last night (Thursday evening). Arrived around 7:15. I was prompted seated before my friends arrived. There were probably 20 other people dining when I got there, and that was the busiest it was. The chips were perfect, salsa was great, and the queso was a LOT for a small order. I ordered a mango madness margarita and a beso mule. The mule was stronger than the margarita, but both were tasty. My veggie burrito and rice was served on a HUGE plate. I couldn't finish it. Leftovers today for me! Service was excellent. I will definitely be back soon - especially to try the breakfast menu!

    So glad I finally got to try this place, I love the location and I love all the artwork. Service was great, friendly, and fast. I got the chicken bowl, wow it was huge and fresh, I wish I was able to take it home to reheat but was on a long road trip. They also make their chips, fresh and warm. Can't wait to try more of the menu next time am in town.

    Quesadilla Al Pastor
    Cathy C.

    We dined at Cafe Tacuba - a really pretty restaurant in the New Bo area of Cedar Rapids. They have several murals on the walls and very pretty flowers throughout. Chips and salsa were very tasty and we ordered half price happy hour margaritas. We enjoyed the quesadillas- the CDMX was very filling; the Al Pastor was good but would have been better with fresh pineapple instead of canned. We will definitely be back.
