    a menu for a mexican restaurant
    Cortney Y.

    Such great food we went 2 nights in a row lol ! So many different choices. Server isn't very attentive, but everyone is so nice in here. Had to go to the bar to get our waters refilled. The queso was sooooo good. My husband had Burrito Bandera & I had an enchilada and taco combo plate. Love the decor. Huge restaurant. Plenty of room for big party too. Great prices. Got seated right away. We will definitely be making this a weekly trip.

    A really great place that adds flavor to Perry. We hosted my family dinner here the night before my wedding s d the staff was so helpful and accommodating. I cannot speak highly enough if the food (everything here is amazing) or the delightful staff.

    Shrimp and Steak Fajitas with no veggies

    Normally dont post bad reviews as I understand the impact it can have on a restaurant but today after waiting over 45 mins to get our food I was in shock as to how little food was served. I ordered the Steak and Shrimp Fajitas without veggies because I dont really like onions/peppers that much. This plate is like $14/$15 and what you see in the picture is all I got. I made a taco (also seen in picture) that had a little bit of beef but the amount of meat they give you was so minimal that they didnt even bother to give it on the separate grill plate every restaurant usually uses. They slapped everything on the plate that is usually used to put only the beans, rice and lettuce with guac and sour cream. I been to various pther Mexican restaurants that probably give you more on a lunch fajitas special that costs $7/$9. This is an embarrassment of establishment. Only reason for the 2 stars is because their queso was good(sat for over 45 mins so I ate a lot of chips and queso).

    Casa De Oro in Perry, IA. I found everything we ordered to be super bland, the service to look bored, the beer not very cold and the space too big to be cozy. Not impressed with this mediocre TexMex place. A bonus is they automatically serve cheese dip with chips and salsa, and that was a nice touch.

    Quite the spacious restaurant. Popped in for lunch as we drove through town. The salsa served gratis is pretty good. The queso was an unexpected and welcome surprise. Ordered the lunch portion of enchilada mole ($6) with rice and beans and the burrito verde ($6.25) also with rice and beans. Both dishes were just OK. Mole was a red sauce and sweet without the complex flavors that often define a great mole sauce. Verde sauce also on the bland side. Beans were good. Rice was standard. Knowing that Perry has had spectacular Mexican cuisine in the past (at a different establishment), I was a bit disappointed by this experience. However, with their extensive menu, perhaps I made the wrong entree choices.

    My parents and I stopped by for a late dinner while we were in Perry. The chips come with both salsa and white queso, which is pretty rad. I had the chorizo burrito, and it was pretty good. They were not particularly busy, but for some reason the service was quite slow. We will most likely give this place another shot in the future, but I was not impressed by the staff.

    I'm a big fan of Casa de Oro! Reasonably priced Mexican comfort food. The warm chips, queso, and salsa as you sit down in the cozy booths and tables are a great indication of what's to come. The staff is friendly and helpful without being pushy. I like the fajitas, Casa de Oro burrito, and everything else I've tried. The whole place is clean and also surprisingly has a full bar. Pro tip: order the largest horchata of your life in the big mug!

    Yummy... Fajitas and nachos... Dining with Gop an Papa!

    I absolutely love this place. I live in Chicago and my fiancé is in DSM so we split time between…read moreboth places until he moves. Being in a transitional phase his kitchen is useless so if we want to eat it's got to be in a restaurant. We've been everywhere so no clue how this gem snuck past us. I would put them next to any of the high end places downtown without a second thought. The ambiance is clean, casual and cozy - think Colorado log cabin. It's not a big place so I imagine you'll find long waits on weekends. If so, wait. Trust me. It wasn't crowded because we typically don't venture out until late but 3/4 of the tables were occupied and several people were at the bar. Even so, it was easy to carry on a conversation without needing to raise our voices. It's difficult to choose what to order because everything sounds great. We ordered chicken fried oyster mushrooms for an app and they set the tone for everything else. Perfectly breaded and seasoned with actual flavor being the stale oil taste of a lot of fried apps. I had the Lobster Mac and it was absolutely decadent. There was a generous amount of lobster and the pieces themselves were substantial. The blend of cheeses was perfect. For the side (which wasn't even necessary because the size of the Mac was more than big enough) I got the Boursin Mushroom Au Gratin. I can't think of a word that describes how delicious it was. Perfect creaminess, rich with a slight tang...it could have stood on its own. My fiancé ordered the Iowa Chop and we were both shocked at the size of it. Again (yawn) cooked just right, not even a hint of the dryness you see a lot with chops. The Creamed Brussels Sprouts were great but I had eaten myself sick at this point so I had to admit defeat. Portions were big enough that I had plenty in the take home container for a whole meal the next day. I wanted to try the amazing looking pie but needed to be able to fit through the door to go home. Next time for sure. Service was really good. The server was laid back and quick with recommendations that she could back up instead of the standard "I like it" you get. I was shocked at the reasonable prices. These days $20 for a mediocre burger is standard so I couldn't believe the quality of food for the price. Our running joke is that once a restaurant starts laminating their menus, the quality is about to tank so I'm keeping my fingers crossed theirs steer clear. It's independently owned by the same people that own Barntown Brewing a few doors down. We will definitely try that out based on our experience here. My only critique is that they serve Pepsi instead of Coke. Seems like DSM leans that way which breaks my heart. My southern roots and common sense keep me loyal to Coca Cola. Where I grew up when you order a Coke the server asks what kind of Coke because it's just what you call every soft drink. Go. Go tonight. You won't regret it.

    4.6* (out of 5) Food: 5* Atmosphere: 5* Value: 4*…read more Service: 4* Would I go back / Recommend?: 5* (Definitely) Total check/person: $40 05/20/2026 The neighbors suggested the Guesthouse for our dinner tonight and given our experiences, we heartily agreed. We started our meals with a glass of beer, then ordered our dinners. Tonight, my wife opted for the Sweet Potato Gnocchi with grilled shrimp (see picture) - at our server Chelsea's suggestion (Chelsea was great). While I usually prefer trying different dishes vs. ordering what I've had before, it was Wednesday and I'm a sucker for specials...so again opted for Walleye Wednesday (see picture). While we both enjoyed both dishes after sharing tastes of each, the highlight of the meal was the Campfire Pie (that Chelsea recommended) along with a scoop of ice cream (at our neighbor's suggestion). Check it out in the picture and be sure to give it a try!
