    Far West Mexican Restaurant - Chicken chimichanga

    Even though Lorimor, IA is located about 15 minutes outside of the county seat of Winterset, it has…read moreone of the better Mexican food restaurants in the area. 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.

    I've read the reviews on this restaurant and everybody seems to love it. I wish that was my…read moreexperience. I've been twice one for dine in and then just a couple days ago. I did a takeout. I ordered a steak quesadilla. The steak was dry around the edges like it had been sitting for a while. There was hardly enough cheese to keep it together and to top it off it was $21. I tried to like it, but unfortunately, I've gone twice and neither trip was something that I would normally go back for.
