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 swings looked like fun, but given my age and the delicious sangria I had, a regular chair was the safest choice. The place was spotless and the service was fast and friendly. And the food was delicious. I'm from Montana so my taste is probably on the mild side. The chili rellano was perfect for me. There were sauces on the table so I am sure you could season any dish to your taste. And you should have the sangria for sure.

I thought about drinking the cup, but wasn't sure if that's rude...? I enjoyed how the cilantro and onions were served on the side; I was slightly disappointed that red onions were used. The tortillas were cooked appropriately and the bowl of chips was plenty for one individual. They also have horchata! Signage seemed to indicate this is a newer addition. For some reason the staff that served me seemed tense and nervous the entire time. They were never rude though and checked in appropriately. I'm glad I stopped in--their advertising on the blue sign on I-90 was a life changer...had simply planned on McDonalds.

Everything tastes like it was just taken from a can and warmed up in the microwave. Keep heading another 15 miles West on I-90 and go to El Tapatio in Brandon, South Dakota-much better food and atmosphere. The service was quick (microwaves are) as there were very few people patronizing the establishment. Nothing special about the decor or atmosphere. The service we had was friendly, so I will give them that, but I pay for food not talk. Unfortunately I cannot recommend this restaurant; there are better options.

First off, let me preface this by saying I grew up in Houston, and have lived in many major cities. Just moved to Chicago. This place is truly a gem. Order a side of the green sauce for your chips when you sit down. I had the top shelf margarita on the rocks and enchiladas banderas. I chose two steak, one chicken, and subbed the salad for refried beans. I don't like taking pictures of my food but the presentation and taste were equally amazing. Do yourself a favor and give this place a try if you're in the area.

The second you walk in, it feels like you accidentally teleported to a place where happiness, chips, and salsa never end. I don't know what they're putting in that salsa, but I would confidently invest in it financially. Now let me get to the part that absolutely rocked my world. I kid you not--I started a stopwatch (for scientific purposes, obviously) the moment our server walked away after taking our order. From that exact moment... to food physically arriving at our table... was 5 minutes and 17 seconds. Five. Minutes. Seventeen. Seconds. I've waited longer for a microwave to finish a Hot Pocket. I was actually concerned. I looked around like, "Did they already know I was coming? Is this premeditated? Am I being monitored?" Because there is simply no reasonable explanation for that level of efficiency. The fajitas were still sizzling like they had just come off a volcano, so I know it wasn't just sitting back there waiting for me like a reserved parking spot. The food? Incredible. The kind of meal where you tell yourself you'll stop eating after one more bite... and then 14 bites later you're still negotiating with yourself. Overall, between the speed, the food, and the atmosphere, this place has officially earned a spot in my personal "I would come back here even if I wasn't hungry" category. Thank you for your service, your speed, and whatever time-warp technology you have going on in that kitchen.
