    I just love Taco Johns okay. Last summer it was a bit sketch but it's gotten a lot better. Pete is groovy.

    El Cascabel - Enchiladas

    El Cascabel

    If you are in Grinnell and love history, this is the place to go. It's where Grinnell was founded…read morein the 1850's where two train tracks cross. The restaurant is in the repurposed train depot. As for the food, the usual Mexican menu. The enchilada we had was very good as were the street tacos. Our meal started with warm fresh tortilla chips. The service was friendly and accommodating.

    Came to El Cascabel as a family member of the owner recommended it being close to Grinnell (we'd…read morebeen in Marshalltown and were looking for Mexican here) and were excited at how close it is! The location is pretty cool - outside is very pretty to walk by and see and inside, and outside really, you see the trains go by directly next to it! That in itself already gave a cool ambiance. They played great music upon walking - Spanish station perhaps, but we loved it and as soon as we walked in were greeted with big smiles. It's a pretty big restaurant with a lot of room! An extensive menu also, we ended up with enchiladas, cheese crisp, and a chicken dish. They brought out some chips and salsa ahead of our meal, for the table, and that was lovely. Chips were warm but didn't seem super fresh although were still great. The salsa was quite mild but wouldn't expect different in the heartland. The service was wonderful and our server was attentive. As for the flavor of enchiladas - very good. Cheesy and delicious. The chicken was good, but being so close to Mexico coming from southern AZ we have pretty authentic close to native flavors. The seasoning was ok and the rice and beans that it came with were also alright. We were largely impressed with the service and structure more than anything. I was really happy with the michelada - such a staple for my meals when having Mexican so it was perfect!! We enjoyed overall and recommend. We may have to try others to have a better fair ranking of Mexican in Grinnell. But it's worth a try!
