Let's just say I was hangry when I arrived and I was super excited to see they were offering a limited menu due to RAGBRAI and that they were churning out orders FAST. I went with three tacos - one of each offering - and they were all delicious. My favorite was definitely the steak and bacon taco, but I would 100 percent eat this exact meal again and again if I lived in Denison. If you happen to be passing through (or, perhaps you're local and looking to try out a new spot) El Paisano is a gem and totally worth it. Cheers to supporting local businesses!

The chips and salsa are fire, and the beans with cheese are better than most restaurants I go to at home. I go for the carne asada tacos on corn tortillas. If you like heat like I do, ask for the hot sauce! I tend to stick with tacos, but I've done the enchilada and tamale combo before too, also great. You really can't go wrong with anything here. Everyone who works here is just super nice. They also carry Coke products, and the Diet Coke is perfectly crispy! Service is super quick. No waiting, food comes out fast. Perfect for a quick work lunch. I love this place and start looking forward to it the second I get on the plane. See you next time!

I guess this location has been a number of restaurants throughout the years, but it has been nicely transformed into a Mexican motif. Chips and salsa came quickly and we declined additional options of guac or queso. Our server came quickly and got our drink orders, and then we placed our food orders. The food came out in a reasonable time, with the typical 'hot plate' All the food was what you'd expect, and had good, fresh flavors. My wife's dish came out with beef instead of the chicken she'd ordered, and wasn't as hot as the rest of the dish, but otherwise was good. Communication with our server was a bit hit or miss, but she was attentive and checked in regularly. All in all I'd recommend it--we liked it much more than the other similar competitor in town.

Once again we had an excellent dinner of steak tacos and mole chicken dinner. So many of the reviews are from customers passing by Avoca Iowa while traveling. Don't hesitate to hop off the highway and have a wonderfully tasting, reasonably priced and cozy meal here. Well worth the detour. Great food and nice family owned restaurant.

I cannot begin to tell you what a wonderful experience we had at Casa Mexicana this weekend in…read moreAvoca, Iowa! Let me try by giving you this information. We live in a large town in eastern Iowa and there are probably +/-25 Mexican restaurants to choose from and we've tried many. There is not one that can hold a candle to Casa Mexicana! The food was spot-on and delicious, the service couldn't have been better and the prices were so reasonable. And the margaritas are so good! In a small town of probably less than 2000 people sits a hidden gem. If you are ever traveling in western Iowa on Interstate 80, Avoca is just a short distance east of Council Bluffs. You need to make Casa Mexicana a destination. We will always plan a stop whenever we are in the area!
