My spouse picked up the food and we ordered extra for leftovers. The Chicharrones are tasty with the skin extra extra crispy and the meat chunks were tasty with some smaller chunks drier but overall would order them again. The guacamole super good in general and goes well with the chicharrones. We ordered tamales which we are saving for tomorrow. The choripollo and chile relleno were good. Lots of other items to try that look delish.

Went on a hopping Friday night. Given all the customers, service was good. Almost every table was…read morefull the entire time we were there. This is a sleeper of a Mexican restaurant. What I mean by that is, it does not look like a Mexican restaurant. But it EXCELS at Mexican cuisine. I highly recommend ordering anything you'd see at a Mexican restaurant. The drinks: The Blueberry Fields drink was good but pricey given the size and wasn't "blueberry" enough for my husband. I liked it, but I'd want it by the mason jar, and that would be super expensive. I had the hibiscus margarita and it was *very* enjoyable. The food: My husband had the Des Moines Po' Boy. I wish he would have realized that he was basically getting a sub. He liked the soft bread. Overall though, he wasn't impressed. He said it was kind of bland. But he loved the fries and ranch. I had the puerco en salsa verde--this dish is incredible! Really tender chunks of pork in a rich tomatillo salsa verde with beans and rice. The only thing that could be better is if there were 3 fresh corn tortillas instead of 2. There is so much rich, delicious, saucy pork to eat, that you need 3 to enjoy it all. The tortillas are fresh made too. So yummy! In summary: Go here and enjoy all the Mexican dishes!

We got checked into the Travelodge a bit later in the day, but still wanted to get dinner. Los…read moreAgaves was right next door, so made it a super convenient place to eat. We were seated right away. The decor was typical Mexican restaurant decor, which was fine. We ordered a large strawberry margarita to share (they have a full bar), and also got seafood fajitas to share as well. The marg was really good, as were the fajitas. Coming from the Southwest, where Mexican food is much more prominent, it was nice to find good Mexican in the Midwest. The prices were good, and the service was as well. If we're ever back in Iowa City, we would definitely consider returning.

Asked if we could go to the bar for a drink and were told we could. Sat at two seats at the end of the bar and about to order a margarita when a manager abruptly stopped us from ordering telling us that if we weren't eating we couldn't sit there. Bartender looked a little lost as well by this. I mentioned we were goi g to order an appetizer as well but were told dinner only. I promptly handed the buzzer back to the manager and informed him that we would not return.

I have supported this restaurant without hesitation, which is why I am extraordinarily disappointed that, today, I was actually charged extra for roughly a tablespoon of shredded cheese beyond the "normal" portion. No, not the melted cheese; the shredded cheddar jack. I don't mind paying extra for things; I get paying extra for fajita vegetables and melted cheese. That has to be prepared and maintained. But paying over a dollar extra for a tablespoon of extra shredded cheddar jack is RIDICULOUS. I'm a tad salty after my visit today. I've NEVER been charged extra for shredded cheese before; that the person serving me explained it to me like it was my first time as a customer was equally inexplicable. All things change, I suppose, but I won't be back.

The environment is not clean; the surfaces are covered in dust and grime. My menu had not just wet water on it from wiping but the water was brown ... cleaning does not count if it's with dirty water. There was a hair in my quesadilla. The waitress really didn't handle it well. She kind of said she was sorry and giggled not in a rude way but just awkwardly. She wasn't going to take it off the ticket ... I didn't think I needed to ask since I had just started eating it, found the hair, and asked for her to take it away. When I did ask, she did take it off the ticket. I only gave a 2 because my husband actually liked his food. Both of us agreed however, we would not return. I get this is a college town restaurant, but cleanliness is still important.

I remember this as "one eye Jake's" to date myself from the early 2000s. I just missed happy hour, but it goes on from 3 to 6 Monday through Friday. I believe includes half-price appetizers and I think they might have a taco special too. They have basic street style tacos, which were delicious at three dollars apiece at regular price. The chorizo stood out and the Barbacoa was very good way better than what you find at chipotle. The revamping the menu and have a new Mexican chef and from what I saw I want to come back for the food alone. I've traveled to Cabo San Lucas, and even lived in Mexico, and this is the real deal - made by an authentic Mexican chef from Morales. The queso was dope with real white cheese. Super cool bartender. And even though my days of standing in line at the club are over, the set up was just like I remember it with two levels - so if you're gonna go, have a good time, just make sure not to be a D bag bro. Cheers.
