Throw in Grateful Dead playing on the dining room, autographed concert posters lining the walls, original local art, and your have one happy foodie.
Gluten free and vegan options. Plus, a great staff and delicious food. An Iowa City gem. I recommend a spicy margarita and Pechugas de Poblanos. From the menu: Strips of delicious chicken breast, poblano peppers & onion, sautéed together with poblano cream and covered with our three white cheese blend. Get corn tortillas on the side and OMG.
I love their hibiscus margaritas! Had only been there for Taco Tuesday deals prior to this visit. For that they have a salsa bar which is fun and different. Tonight I tried the carnitas bowl and it was delicious!! Very generous portion of marinated pork and the side of potatoes were done in a way I've never had before. Everything was delicious and our orders came out really quickly. They even split the cost of the pitcher of margaritas between the 3 of us without us asking. Would definitely go again. A fresh take on Mexican that's worth trying.
Always stellar food, get the queso it’s the best you’ll ever have! Recommend the mushroom taco as well.
Good atmosphere, not too loud, with quick and excellent service. Little parking lot across the street is convenient.
I ordered a burrito and let me tell you, it was great! The meat(chicken) was cooked just right and the veggies and salsa inside the burrito was a nice touch to boost the flavor and add a hint of spice. The staff was very friendly and the service was quick. One of the best Mexican Restaurants in the area. Would recommend!
Ordered some of the perez family tacos. Would compare them to tasty tacos out of des moines. Pretty good, but very greasy. Definitely need some hot sauce if you're a spice guy. They did give me a massive container of salsa and the portion size was pretty good for the money. Overall I would give 9/10, we'll round up to a 5 star for the salsa. Have heard from friends that their burritos are also top notch.
