I don’t give five stars unless everything is perfect and the service is good. Good service is so hard to find anymore. Our server was amazing! We didn’t have to wait for anything and he was always checking on us and super nice. This was our first time here and I loved it. We all ordered breakfast and it was amazing. Also got chips and queso which were some of the best chips in town! Ordered a horchata latte which was amzing and the ozzy bfast skillet. The skillet was super good! My bf ordered the biscuits and gravy which was also super good.

Mexican isn't usually my first choice but this was genuinely the most delicious meal I've had, definitely in Cedar Rapids and maybe in Iowa period.

We're just back from our second meal at Tacuba. We've enjoyed dinner and now breakfast there. In both cases we were thoroughly impressed! Excellent, attentive service, the food can't be beat, and who knew a breakfast margarita could be do good. My only trepidation is that when more people learn about Tacuba it'll be harder to get a table there!!!

We had the best lunch date at Cafe Tacuba! The service was awesome and attentive. I really liked the decor and murals on the walls as well. I had the Ozzy Bowl with the Ozzy Marg and my husband had a dish with mushrooms and chicken. The ingredients were very fresh in both meals. We thought everything tasted great and we will be back!

What's Spanish for nomnomnomnom? While our meal was flawed, the highlights were so delicious that I had to give Cafe Tacuba 5 stars.Oh boy, one delicious Ozzy Marg and you'll feel its warmth. This is no watered-down, overly sweet, bottom-of-the-barrel tequila concoction that passes for a margarita at many local establishments.Chori Queso, so good: was that cinnamon I tasted?Carnitas, tender, flavorful, I could eat this dish every week. Scratch that: twice a week.Garish is often an after thought, but this pico is not the same 'ol slapped together overly chunky, unseasoned dreck most so-called Mexican restaurants serve: you'll want to eat this pico by the bowful.And the refried beans tasted like somebody's mom had cooked them special just for our meal. The two tablespoons served with carnitas left us wanting more so we ordered a side, only two bucks for a generous portion.Chips, light and crispy were too salty. But, hey, nobody's perfect.Our friendly waiter had a voice made for radio.There's much on the menu to call us back for more dinners at Cafe Tacuba. The kitchen focuses on more than cheese, cheese, cheese and ground beef like so many bland American-Mexican restaurants that don't deserve the adoration of their gringo patrons.NOTESkip the Enchiladas Divorciadas: undercooked, limp, pale tortillas filled with bland chicken, topped with a stingy amount of flavorful red/rojas and green/verde sauces and a slice of barely melted mystery cheese. Having tortillas first dipped in sauce, then filled, followed by more time in the oven or under the broiler would have made all the difference in these enchiladas.

Service placed it above all other Mexican restaurants we frequent. Salsa and guacamole were wonderful. Margaritas were great. Good was delicious. Ambiance . . . Two thumbs up! A great addition to the downtown/NewBo scene!
