I guess it's just part of the local charm. They have a full bar which was nice. The horchata was interesting super cinnamony and it looked a little like they forgot to give it a good stir. The chips were sadly stale, but the salsa definitely made up for it! It had a fantastic kick. Our server was a bit overwhelmed, and he actually missed my son's order entirely. We ended up with three steak tacos with rice and beans on the side they don't do combo platters, which was a bit unusual. The tacos themselves were delicious though, with skirt steak! The rice and beans were great too. He eventually got my son's choriqueso chicken order in, super fast, but then there was a little tortilla mix up we asked for corn, got flour. To be honest, with the heat, the flies, and everything, we just wanted to get out of there at that point. The choriqueso chicken was okay, but the chorizo could have used a little more cooking time it had a slightly off flavor. We also grabbed two shrimp cocktails, and those were fantastic! They could have been a bit colder, but the flavor and the amount of shrimp were amazing, and the avocado was perfect. Overall, the food was pretty good, but honestly, I'd recommend takeout next time. It was just too hot and buggy to enjoy eating in! They really need to do something about those flies!

Mixteca Mexican Restaurant - Dyersville, IA…read more Met up with friends for dinner tonight and had a great experience at Mixteca. We got there around 5:30 and the place was maybe a quarter full--perfect for settling in without a rush. Our friends joined shortly after, and from the get-go, the service was friendly and attentive. The chips and salsa hit the table first and made a strong impression. The salsa was fresh, full of flavor, and not runny like you get at some places. Chips were crisp and clearly fresh--not the bottom-of-the-bag stuff. Three of us ordered fajitas and they did not disappoint. Big portions, sizzling hot, and packed with flavor. You could tell they weren't cutting corners. By 6:00 the place was filling up fast, but even as it got busy, the staff kept everything running smoothly. We never felt forgotten or rushed. All in all, a solid spot if you're craving Mexican food. Great portions, good atmosphere, and excellent service. Definitely recommend giving it a try.

I ended up getting some guacamole with my chips and salsa, all of which were very good. For my entree, I got the pollo chipotle - it was a huge meal!

I'll be back in the future!

We've really wanted to try this one as we've heard decent reviews from friends…read more Our normal place is now a long drive after relocating here so we're trying to find our New Mexican spot. For positives: the restaurant is beautiful and staff are very friendly. The queso was also good and we loved the salsa. The not so good.... First off: I Loathe when there isn't clear direction upon walking in. Am I taking a seat or waiting to be seated? Standing there and awkwardly shuffling after a couple minutes to finally be greeted feels weird. People don't want to do the wrong thing. If your host has other jobs please just place a sign saying wait to be seated. We're seated, drink orders are fairly prompt, queso comes out in good time. The chips are good at first but as they cool down they actually get pretty firm and stale feeling rather quickly which was a new thing for us. My drink had a weird after taste and after explaining to my husband who used to work in the kitchen he thinks my glass just didn't get rinsed or maybe double washed, it didn't taste flat, but chemically. Husband had quesa birria which is his go to and I had pollo con arroz. He liked the consume but whatever additional sauce they had with it was SO incredibly spicy that it ruined the tacos. He loves heat and can absolutely tolerate heat, but when it's all heat and no flavor but bitter, it's just not pleasant. Pollo con arroz is the standard for me. And here I just didn't like the rice. The flavor wasn't quite right and adding in corn and other vegetables adds sweet little bursts that aren't pleasant (to me) in this kind of dish. The chicken was fine, it was a little odd that it did t come with tortillas though. Portions were smaller and prices were higher than our go to place. Service, though it was friendly, was reaaaaaaaally slow. It didn't look to be overly busy and we waited about 50 minutes for the two meals and a mini corn dog meal for our son. And even after we got our food the waiter stopped by as we were finishing asked if things were good, and we didn't have a chance to ask for the box or a check he left so quickly so had to wait an additional 20 minutes to leave after eating. There's dozens of other Mexican restaurants to try in Cedar Rapids, so we'll keep looking for our new regular place.

Even though they have a sign saying they don't give you chips and salsa, I didn't see a charge for $3.50 for it. They did not have plain unsweet tea, but they did have a raspberry tea Total was $24 before tip It does look like they are serving breakfast burritos on certain days of the week so that might be worth another trip It's a fast casual restaurant, and the place was clean
