We sat there for a few minutes before a server brought some menus. She seemed pretty annoyed by our presence. All of the much older very conservative looking customers also seemed annoyed that we had came there to eat. They were out of the appetizer we wanted (onion petals) so we got fried mushrooms. Server was again annoyed when I thought the hot sandwiches on the menu were actual sandwiches instead of just mashed potatoes and gravy on top of meat. I opted for a tenderloin sandwich instead. It was massive and pretty good. The mushrooms were tasty but it was a very small order. A warning would have been awesome since I said "we want" instead of "I want" and it is clearly too small of an appetizer for two people. They're typically a much larger order anywhere else we go. My boyfriend tried some of my sandwich and said it was the best sandwich he'd ever tasted. He had popcorn shrimp and murpheys mess, neither of which he liked. The server got a lot more friendly right at the very end when I told her that we were sent there on somebody's recommendation who she knew.

Be cause of my great experience, I returned the following evening. My second meal was just as good as the first.

They have a table or two set outside for patio seating, if you like the heat and humidity. Parking is no issue here, so that's a plus. We wanted a light meal before starting our day, but their morning menu was limited until 11am when their kitchen opens. Their veggie wrap caught my attention online, so I was disappointed when we showed up too early for lunch. No biggie. The owner was very pleasant and offered another option, which turned out to be delicious: Curry hummus toast with cucumbers, red onions and balsamic drizzle. Visiting from California, and from experience, I did not expect to find healthy options around here, let alone bobas. You just gotta look! If you're driving through Fort Madison, I'd recommend stopping by for coffee, snacks, bobas, and brunch. If we have extra time during this trip, we will stop by again for my veggie wrap and lemonade!

So i was fairly hungry but didnt want to do Burger King or MCd. The atmosphere here is great. There are murals on the wall that totally make you feel like you are in Mexico. Not sure if it is where the place is situated or what but I dont feel like I am in fort madison at all. I have worked in FTM for a couple decades so a little change of pace is nice. Some mexican music playing but not too loud. Again just really nice. Overall the tables were clean and bathrooms nice and clean to. Well done. I kind of cheaped out and got the taco with beans and rice. Before i ordered i got chips and salsa which i think is part of any meal, and if that is canned salsa I want to know where I can get some, otherwise I think this is made on site. Either way it was great. I thought maybe I should have gotten a bigger meal but the taco with the beans and rice plus chips was perfectly filling. Next time i might go for something bigger. Service start to finish was phenomenal. Quick to get a seat, get food, and get the check. There was a family of people at a decent size table and what I think are probably regulars who 'know' in several booths. And at 330pm? Nobody else is putting asses in seats at that time of day. I am glad that I 'know' now. I will be going back whenever I am in the area. I noticed the manager who was very nice was handling sizeable orders over the phone while taking care of everyone. I think there is a following out there for this place. Price for what I had was well worth it. Pancheros Burlington, take some notes!!
