Mariscos Casa de Oro
David R.

This is the third time I have eaten here. This time I had the Mariscos Casa de Oro. The meal starts with a basket of fresh tortilla chips and a bowl of salsa. The salsa reminds me of a pico de gallo with a little hot sauce. It was flavorful and mild. My main course was the Mariscos Casa de Oro. I had it served in an enchilada. The plate had beans, rice, lettuce, guacamole, and sour cream. The flavor was good, but the amount of seafood in the burrito was very small. So I deduct a star for lack of value. I would eat here again but order something with more substance.

Loved it Holy guacamole that's a BIG PLATE OF GOOD!!! Yummy!

Holy guacamole! Big plates and big favors!! Loved the atmosphere and the friendliness of the wait staff greeted us as we were seated and the all through the meal we were nicely attended to. I know Creston is kinda off the beaten path but I can see us taking a detour back to to CdO real soon!!!

For a small town in the middle of Iowa it's as authentic as you'll get. It's also very uncommon to find a spot like this in the meat and potatoes for every meal Midwest. Honestly, I was expecting a barely above deplorable performance from Casa De Oro. I'm not being harsh, just realistic. And to be honest, I suggested Taco Johns above this place; but I was pleasantly surprised. There are a few notable things about Casa De Oro. It is a small, family owned business that has a handful of restaurants in the surrounding area that are all managed by the same family. I certainly like the idea of that. This particular location is fairly large and very accommodating. We were with a very large group and the staff had no problems keeping pace. The service was excellent. Within a couple minutes of sitting down we all had our drinks ordered and fresh hot chips and salsa on the table. The salsa was decent with just the right amount of heat and sweet. The menu is pretty typical of what you might see at any given Mexican restaurant. It is fairly large and has a lot of options for combination plates, a la cart items, and desserts. They also had a few lunch specials that come with beans and rice. I had a lunch special that consisted of a chicken enchilada with mole and beans and rice on the side. Now, mole is an art and some places just don't or can't do it right. I wasn't expecting the most authentic flavors, so with that being said, I wasn't too disappointed with what I got on the plate. It was much sweeter than it should have been without the slow heat of the peppers (IMO), and it had a fairly runny consistency. The enchilada itself was good with a lot of nice quality chicken inside. I might add that the could held back on the cheese a little. The beans were good, but those are hard to mess up and the rice was rice. I never eat much of it anyway. My wife ordered a guacamole tostada and a chicken enchilada. The guacamole was 95% tomatoes and was very disappointing. Overall, you're going to get a good Mexican meal in the heartland of America. I'm sure I'll return when I'm back home to visit the folks again, although, Tacos Johns is just down the road and I love me some potato oles. HAHA!

Delicious food for a great value. You get fresh chips and salsa immediately when you sit down. The building is clean and very well maintained. Family owned restaurant - you will feel welcomed by the staff. I consistently get the Casa de Oro burrito. It's $9.75 and clearly a very big burrito. No other Mexican restaurant I've been to in Iowa will give you that much food for roughly $10. It's not just packed full of rice either - PLENTY of the meat you choose and lots of vegetables.

Burritos are great and big

See all

I found this place to be okay and have mixed emotions on the food. I will say chips and salsa were excellent and service was good.

As its name implies, it has a very definitive western motive and open dining concept. Parking is on the front street, and is ample. The service was very attentive and intuitive. We shared their chicken tacos, see pic. As you can see these tacos were plentiful. There were tons of chicken strips which were mildly seasoned. They kinda hid the ample amount of chicken under the crisp lettuce and diced tomatoes. There were plenty of sauces on the table for personalized seasoning. The soft taco shells held everything together well. We then shared their Chicken Enchiladas. As you can see in my pic, there are 3 enchiladas. The chicken was tender and very mildly seasoned. The tortillas held up well to the queso (cheese) sauce. The queso sauce was very thick. As you can see it was a white cheese and with minimal flavoring. On the far left is a small bowl with salsa, guac, sour cream and cilantro. These all aid with tuning in the flavor of the queso sauce to your tastes. The refried beans and rice were okay.

The staff was very quick and efficient on this busy Saturday lunch hour. They were prompt and I was seated in minutes. The dining area is simple, straight-forward. You can see my pic of the lunch specials, there is a lot of variety - order by the number and you're done. This day, I ordered the Special Lunch #3: burrito and taco. My order arrived very quickly. As you can see in my pic, it's a simple plate: a small burrito (I assume lunch sized and priced), an incredible amount of rice and my hard shell taco. The burrito was filled only with ground beef. The ground beef didn't have any flavor, in and of itself. The tortilla was fine and the red sauce had a very mild enchilada flavor. The rice had standard flavor. The hard shell taco had the requisite items: shredded chicken (which was my selection), shredded lettuce and diced tomatoes. It was good that the shredded chicken had been dredged in a light ranchero sauce and was very moist. The salsa with chips was good, a bit of spice but not too hot. I used this to compliment the burrito and taco.
