    a margarita

    Steak quesadilla was delicious... seafood enchiladas was ok... chipotle burrito is good! Gold Margarita was delicious

    - I was unaware this is a chain-restaurant without local ingredients. - Service was wonderful. - I ordered the brisket-taco because I was hoping they used local beef. It was very rich, creamy, and salty. It looks exactly like the picture on the menu. The tortilla was accented with greased toasted cheese (I picked it off). Coming from California, I'm not used to this style food so I wish that I could just leave this note without selecting a number of stars. The lack of fresh local ingredients should not be a surprise because I'm in Iowa in the winter. All the crops are picked and the fields are empty. I would try this place again with proper expectations.

    Tonight's dining experience was 5 star! Our server, Kaya, was EXCELLENT! Food was very good; they even offered Lite versions of menu items that included fat free sour cream and tortillas. Of course we ruined some of that with the fried ice cream but it was worth it. Keep in mind that for parties over 7 they add 15% gratuity automatically. Not a big deal but I almost left a 30%+ tip! Great restaurant, highly recommend.

    Plenty of Mexican places in town with some better and some worse. This page remains a constant with a nice variety of food.

    Fijata Cheese Crisp very good!
