The service is always very attentive and quick. All of the items taste like they are homemade. It is very hard to find authentic chili rellenos but this place nails it.

While passing through Dell Rapids during one of our little road trip adventures, my husband and I…read morestumbled upon this restaurant and decided to stop in and give it a try. One thing that immediately caught our attention was the building itself. Dell Rapids has a great deal of historic charm, and the restaurant is housed inside one of the town's older historic structures, which gives it a lot of personality before you even sit down. The atmosphere carries some of that preserved small-town character that makes these Midwest road trip discoveries enjoyable in the first place. The presentation of the food was honestly quite beautiful. The plating was polished, colorful, and thoughtfully arranged in a way that immediately raised our expectations. The dishes looked refined and carefully constructed, almost the sort of meals that make you instinctively reach for your phone to take photos before eating. Unfortunately, the actual flavors never really lived up to the visual presentation. That was the biggest disappointment for us. While everything looked appealing, most of the dishes wound up tasting fairly flat and underwhelming. Nothing was outright terrible, but very little had the depth, seasoning, or distinctiveness we were hoping for once we actually began eating. Service throughout the meal was decent enough, though the restaurant seemed somewhat overwhelmed at the time. There was a very large and extremely loud Friday gathering taking up much of the dining room and seemingly most of the staff's attention. It also appeared they may have been somewhat understaffed that afternoon, which likely contributed to the slower pacing and divided attention. Overall, the experience landed somewhere between average and slightly disappointing for us. Not actively bad, but not especially memorable either. The historic setting and attractive presentation certainly added points, but ultimately we left feeling underwhelmed by the food itself.

The waitress/ hostess/ bus girl was helpful and seemed to like her many jobs. The portions were good, and nothing was too spicy.

So, if you eat here make sure your check will clear or you will make their hall of shame.

While the restaurant itself could use a makeover, the food makes it a great experience. I ordered a steak burrito, two chicken tacos (served with onions and cilantro) and an empanada. Chips and a warm hot sauce are brought to the table if dining in. The empanada was filled with beans and banana. I had never had a combination of the two. They mixed together nicely.

Two tables were sat after us and had their drinks before we got served. There must have been confusion on who's table was who's. We eventually got our drinks and the chips and salsa. The salsa was very good and flavorful! I enjoyed. My friend and I shared a mango margarita, yummmmmm. It was plenty for both of us and I loved all the flavor choices. I would come back for the marg. My friend had the cheese quesadilla and I had a combo meal. We were both satisfied with our meals. The taco shell came instantly mushy so I didn't eat that but ate the meat and toppings. The rice and beans were very good. Good and drink were good but the service (like other reviews) lacked. Will come again for drinks
