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.

If you go to Jersey Mike's, you'll see a good example of a company that has their employees be kind of the customer Another thing is they treat the rice and beans here like it's meat and they hardly give you any.

Have your employees be a little nicer and give a normal portion of rice and beans as a base and I would've gave you five stars

You can practice Spanish if you'd like and the servers are very helpful and are well spoken. Decorations were very on point, colorful, and festive. I had a hard time picking out what to try so I had the server help me out. I tried the Corralejo plate that came with chicken steak and shrimp on a bed of stir fried veggies and Spanish rice. It was so good and had a generous portion. They were also generous with their chips and salsa. Margaritas were huge. My friend tried it and did get a bit tipsy from it.

BACK & BETTER THAN EVER!!…read more After moving a few doors down and across the street, we were SO HAPPY to hear that our favorite place this side of Cedar Rapids was open again!! The food was amazing as ever tonight, and the staff was busier than ever. Everyone is treated like family at Las Brasas. Steak Feliz for me, Chimichanga for my wife, and queso with the house salsa to share. Check the video -- the flavor was even better! We had to drive full around the block to find parking, they were so popular, yet staff was on top of our needs, friendly as ever, and they were moving customers like clockwork. The new place is more intimate and with better seats and decor than the old. Back and better than ever!!
